The relentless search for effective cancer therapies has led to numerous breakthroughs in drug discovery and development. Advancements have emerged in recent years through the promising avenue of combination therapy, where two or more drugs are used synergistically to enhance their collective therapeutic effect. This strategy has shown significant potential in overcoming drug resistance, reducing side effects, and improving patient survival rates. In a new study, researchers Thomas M. Cardillo, Maria B. Zalath, Roberto Arrojo, Robert M. Sharkey, Serengulam V. Govindan, Chien-Hsing Chang, and David M. Goldenberg from Gilead Sciences and the Center for Molecular Medicine and Immunology demonstrated the significant antitumor effects of Sacituzumab govitecan, an anti-Trop-2-SN-38 antibody-drug conjugate, in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy.

“The search for daunorubicin's sister really led to this discovery of doxorubicin, which is an analog with much greater activity. The discovery of doxorubicin can be coined kind of as, ‘one of the best drugs born in Milan, Italy.' And after that, a few analogs were developed and tested, and two that we currently use today, are idarubicin and epirubicin,” Puja Patel, PharmD, BCOP, clinical oncology pharmacist at the Delnor Hospital Northwestern Medicine Cancer Center in Geneva, IL, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a discussion about anthracyclines and other antitumor antibiotics.

It's cutting one of the DNA strands. And in this case, it's cutting two strands, and that's why it's called topoisomerase II, so it's cutting both of the strands. It's cutting the DNA, releasing some of that tension, allowing for replication, and then rejoining that portion. So, it's a very important enzyme, and it'll go about doing this for the entire strand of DNA.” TS 4:50  “The other second mechanism is kind of the effect on DNA. So, you'll come across reading the term ‘DNA intercalation.' So, what does that word mean? When you take the word ‘intercalate,' the definition of it means ‘intrusive inserting of something in an existing series or sequence.' The analogy that I could think of here is simple: It's thinking about too many passengers squeezing in the backseat of your car. There could be safety issues, there's weight issues, there's instability maybe while driving. And that's what this doxorubicin is doing. It's sliding right in between the base pairs of the DNA double helix, destroying hydrogen bonds between those two bases, which then change the shape of that double helix. And by changing the shape, topoisomerase II, which we just talked about, can no longer go in and bind to DNA. It can't relax that super coil. And so, DNA synthesis doesn't happen.” TS 6:02  “So, the main toxicity that our listeners might be familiar with is cardiotoxicity. And also with cardiotoxicity, breaking it down a little bit, there's an onset that occurs during treatment or even years to decades, and that's kind of this delayed cardiotoxicity. Signs and symptoms of acute cardiotoxicity could vary from EKG changes present as tachycardia, tachyarrhythmia. Delayed cardiotoxicity is anything from heart failure to left ventricular ejection fraction decrease.” TS 9:41  “We're worried about heart failure in these patients. So, we might see EKG changes, we might see LVEF [left ventricular ejection fraction] changes, and we're kind of tracking these agents based on what is called cumulative dose tracking or lifetime dose. So, all of these agents have specific lifetime maximums that we need to be aware of.” TS 14:53  “So, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, obesity, or you're older in age, or perhaps you have a compromised cardiac function—you're at greater risk for developing these cardiotoxicities. An example that I've had in my clinic is I've identified some of these patients that have these risk factors, and we go into a little bit more aggressive monitoring for the echocardiogram or MUGA [multigated acquisition]. And when we put in those orders, we often get denials from insurance. We submit the guidelines in, kind of, appeals to help those patients kind of proactively realize if we're putting them in a greater cardiac risk.” TS 15:47  “One of the biggest things is for nurses to kind of look over their policies for administration for vesicants and specifically checking blood return for these agents, because many of them are given, you know, IV push. So, checking blood return every 2–5 ml is really important to make sure that you are in the right space. And then these agents, some of them can also be given continuously. So, you're thinking about, first of all, you should have a central line in for these agents because they're vesicants. But if it's being given continuous, there is something that's called anthracycline streaking, and it's not the same as an extravasation. So, I think being able to decipher the difference between the two is really, kind of, comes with experience.” TS 20:36  “I think awareness is really essential. And thankfully, you know, thankfully or not, I guess, you were with the patient for this entire time, right? Because you're pushing every 2–5 ml, you're checking. So, it's a very kind of intimate experience in and of itself. So, I think just being very vigilant is very important.” TS 22:24  “So, to talk about bleomycin here, for example, kinetically, two-thirds of this drug is eliminated renally. And so, we would think that there would need to be renal adjustments if there's renal changes. So, for creatinine clearance greater than 50, there are no renal dose adjustments. But after that, every 10 ml per minute decrease in GFR [glomerular filtration rate], there are dose reductions that are required. And this drug, in particular, has a lot of gradations in terms of renal dysfunction that I've seen.” TS 27:30  “Thinking about bleomycin, it's IV over 10 minutes, and you want to think about the lifetime maximum dose. So, when you are working up your patient, that's something to kind of think about. Dactinomycin is highly emetogenic, so making sure that there's antibiotics on board. It's also a vesicant, so thinking about vesicants precautions. Cold compresses is how you would help treat that if there is an extravasation.” TS 33:14   “I think trust is the foundation oncology really because we are asking our patients to do so many things outside of our infusion center, picking up medications, taking medications, calling us about signs and symptoms, going and getting all these imaging know. So, if there isn't that foundation of trust, having this perfect curative treatment plan may be more challenging to really be carried out.” TS 38:06  “We've developed these very powerful agents, and they're non–cell specific. So, I think the next step would be, how can we reformulate them to make them less toxic and provide more of a targeted approach? And so, perhaps an antibody-drug conjugate that is specifically attacking the lymphoma or the breast cell can deliver this chemotherapy with a cytotoxic payload is there in the horizon.” TS 39:07  “I think the misconception that ‘I will develop heart damage' is really important. Doxorubicin has the infamous name of the red devil, but I think it's important to let your patients know that heart failure increases with cumulative dosing. You know, talking to them about 300 mg/m2 is associated with a 1.5% heart failure risk. Whereas going all the way across to 500 mg/m2, now you're looking at 6%–20% probability of developing heart failure.” TS 42:30  “I think taking the time and understanding the literature. Typically, we don't start these agents with LVEF less than 50–55. There's some great review articles in JCO [Journal of Clinical Oncology] that kind of define what cardiomyopathy decrease looks like and decreases in LVEF over 10% to a value below the institutional limit of normal, I think, is a nice point to have as a value, a number to kind of work with.” TS 43:53  “Working with your nurse educator and leader to help achieve OCN®, oncology certified nurse, certification is really important. And I think live simulated experiences are really beneficial, maybe even looking at extravasations or having an infusion-related reaction, because here in the acute setting, we're really kind of in this like responsive mode. But if we practice, we can respond more deliberately and more calmly.” TS 45:05

S., Shchekotikhin, A. E., Chueh, P. J. Abstract: The antibiotic heliomycin (resistomycin), which is generated from Streptomyces resistomycificus, has multiple activities, including anticancer effects. Heliomycin was first described in the 1960s, but its clinical applications have been hindered by extremely low solubility. A series of 4-aminomethyl derivatives of heliomycin were synthesized to increase water solubility; studies showed that they had anti-proliferative effects, but the drug targets remained unknown. In this study, we conducted cellular thermal shift assays and molecular docking simulations to identify and validate the intracellular targets of heliomycin and its water-soluble derivative, 4-(dimethylaminomethyl)heliomycin (designated compound 4-dmH), in p53-functional SAS and p53-mutated HSC-3 oral cancer cells. Consistent with our in silico studies, our cellular thermal shift assays (CETSA) revealed that, in addition to SIRT1, the water-soluble 4-dmH preferentially targeted a tumor-associated NADH oxidase called tNOX or ENOX2. The direct binding of 4-dmH to tNOX inhibited the activity of tNOX and enhanced its ubiquitin-proteasomal protein degradation in both SAS and HSC-3 cells. Moreover, the inhibition of tNOX by 4-dmH decreased the oxidation of NADH to NAD+ which diminished NAD+-dependent SIRT1 deacetylase activity, ultimately inducing apoptosis and significant cytotoxicity in both cell types. We also observed that tNOX and SIRT1 were both upregulated in tumor tissues of oral cancer patients compared to adjacent normal tissues, suggesting their clinical relevance. Finally, the better therapeutic efficacy of 4-dmH was confirmed in tumor-bearing mice, which showed greater tNOX and SIRT1 downregulation and tumor volume reduction when treated with 4-dmH compared to heliomycin. Taken together, our in vitro and in vivo findings suggest that the multifaceted properties of water-soluble 4-dmH enable it to offer superior antitumor value compared to parental heliomycin, and indicated that it functions through targeting the tNOX-NAD+-SIRT1 axis to induce apoptosis in oral cancer cells.

A new research paper was published in Oncotarget's Volume 13 on November 2, 2022, entitled, “MK256 is a novel CDK8 inhibitor with potent antitumor activity in AML through downregulation of the STAT pathway.” Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most lethal form of AML due to disease relapse. Cyclin dependent kinase 8 (CDK8) is a serine/threonine kinase that belongs to the family of Cyclin-dependent kinases and is an emerging target for the treatment of AML. MK256, a potent, selective, and orally available CDK8 inhibitor was developed to target AML. In this new study, researchers Jen-Chieh Lee, Shu Liu, Yucheng Wang, You Liang, and David M. Jablons from the University of California San Francisco and Touro University sought to examine the anticancer effect of MK256 on AML. “In CD34+/CD38- leukemia stem cells, we found that MK256 induced differentiation and maturation.” Treatment of MK256 inhibited proliferation of AML cell lines. Further studies of the inhibitory effect suggested that MK256 not only downregulated phosphorylated STAT1(S727) and STAT5(S726), but also lowered mRNA expressions of MCL-1 and CCL2 in AML cell lines. Efficacy of MK256 was shown in MOLM-14 xenograft models, and the inhibitory effect on phosphorylated STAT1(S727) and STAT5(S726) with treatment of MK256 was observed in vivo. Pharmacologic dynamics study of MK256 in MOLM-14 xenograft models showed dose-dependent inhibition of the STAT pathway. Both in vitro and in vivo studies suggested that MK256 could effectively downregulate the STAT pathway. In vitro ADME, pharmacological kinetics, and toxicity of MK256 were profiled to evaluate the drug properties of MK256. “Our results show that MK256 is a novel CDK8 inhibitor with a desirable efficacy and safety profile and has great potential to be a promising drug candidate for AML through regulating the STAT pathway.” DOI: https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.28305 Correspondence to: Jen-Chieh Lee -jenchieh.lee@ucsf.edu, Shu Liu - shu.liu@ucsf.edu Keywords: AML, CDK8, kinase inhibitor, STAT pathway, xenograft Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bRgqTg9-c8 About Oncotarget: Oncotarget (a primarily oncology-focused, peer-reviewed, open access journal) aims to maximize research impact through insightful peer-review; eliminate borders between specialties by linking different fields of oncology, cancer research and biomedical sciences; and foster application of basic and clinical science.

The discovery of immune checkpoints that regulate immune responses transformed cancer care, and the impact that the new class of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has had in oncology cannot be understated. A proportion of patients achieve remarkable and durable responses and improved overall survival with use of the current ICIs. However, there are a number of limitations associated with the current immunotherapies, patient outcomes are still suboptimal, and new options are needed to maximize the potential of cancer immunotherapy as the fourth treatment pillar in oncology. New rational combinations leveraging synergies between old and new checkpoints have emerged, with inhibitory targeting of T-cell immunoreceptor with immunoglobulin and immunoreceptor tyrosine–based inhibitory motif domains (TIGIT) along with the PD-L1/PD-1 pathway as one potential strategy under extensive investigation across different cancers. To realize the potential of anti-TIGIT checkpoint inhibition, build upon previous advances in cancer immunotherapy, expand into more tumor types and earlier stages of disease, and provide new treatment options in areas of high unmet need to more patients with cancer, it is essential for those involved in the care of patients with solid tumors to become familiar with this novel therapeutic approach and develop competence related to its clinical integration, enabling rapid translation from discovery to the clinic. This educational activity features an expert discussion of the rationale and mechanism of action of agents targeting TIGIT, enhanced with engaging three-dimensional explanations, and provides practical guidance to identify patients most likely to be the best candidates for novel ICI-based treatment approaches. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Describe the rationale for use, mechanisms of action, and preclinical and clinical evidence supporting the use of novel ICIs, such as antibodies targeting TIGIT, and synergistic ICI-based combinations showing promise in overcoming the limitations of current immunotherapies and expanding the benefits to more patients with solid tumors, Identify patients who are most likely to be the best candidates for novel ICI-based treatment approaches, including dual-targeted inhibition of TIGIT and anti–PD-L1/PD-1, based on clinical evidence, biomarker status, comorbidities, patient preferences for chemotherapy-free treatment options, and other relevant factors, working collaboratively as a healthcare team.

Exercise Enhances Doxorubicin's Antitumor Effects

Most people are aware by now that exercise has positive effects in “healthy” individuals and in patients with cancer. In cancer patients, exercise has been shown to reduce adverse events, improve quality-of-life and respiratory fitness, and even decrease the risk of breast cancer recurrence. These results, and many others, have prompted major national and international cancer organizations to make exercise recommendations. “There also is a growing body of evidence that exercise may directly alter the tumor microenvironment to influence tumor growth, metastasis, and response to anticancer therapies.” However, scientists and researchers have only scratched the surface of understanding the extent of the benefits that are capable of being harnessed by exercise. While research shows that exercise may impact tumors, the exercise prescription needed to induce these beneficial tumor-related outcomes is still unclear. In an effort to better harness the benefits of exercise, researchers from the University of Florida conducted a study on the effects of wheel running in breast cancer mouse models and chemotherapy. Their paper was published as the cover of Oncotarget's Volume 12, Issue 18, and entitled, “Normal tissue and tumor microenvironment adaptations to aerobic exercise enhance doxorubicin anti-tumor efficacy and ameliorate its cardiotoxicity in retired breeder mice.” “The goal of this study was to characterize the exercise prescription by evaluating the aerobic adaptations in both the normal tissue and the tumor microenvironment. Moreover, doxorubicin was used to assess the adjuvant effects of aerobic exercise on chemotherapy efficacy and toxicity.” Full blog - https://www.impactjournals.com/journals/blog/oncotarget/new-study-how-exercise-boosted-chemotherapy-in-mice/ Sign up for free Altmetric alerts about this article - https://oncotarget.altmetric.com/details/email_updates?id=10.18632%2Foncotarget.28057 DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.28057 Full text - https://www.oncotarget.com/article/28057/text/ Correspondence to - Zachary R.

Dr Cristina Sánchez, Vice Dean of Research at the School of Biology at the Complutense University in Madrid, is a world renowned molecular biologist specialising in the study of compounds in the cannabis plant as anticancer agents in breast cancer. Cristina has been involved in researching the antitumoral properties of cannabinoids for over twenty years, and played a key role in discovering how THC kills cancer cells while working alongside colleague Professor Manuel Guzmán.These days, while many research groups around the world focussing on isolated or synthetic cannabinoids as potential anticancer drugs, Cristina's group stands out as trying to understand and replicate the experiences of actual patients who are reporting extraordinary results using whole plant cannabis for their cancer.In her paper, 'Appraising the ''entourage effect'': Antitumor action of pure cannabinoid versus a botanical drug preparation in preclinical models of breast cancer,' Sánchez found that in mice at least and across all types of breast cancer, a whole plant cannabis extract was more efficacious and potent than THC alone. As Cristina says: "This is not a hippie fashion or energy from the plant. No, this is science. This is molecules activating and deactivating. So the same thing as for opioids or for any of the drugs that they use."Resources:Appraising the "entourage effect": Antitumor action of a pure cannabinoid versus a botanical drug preparation in preclinical models of breast cancerCannabinoids reduce ErbB2-driven breast cancer progression through Akt inhibitionTherapeutic targeting of HER2-CB 2 R heteromers in HER2-positive breast cancer Activation of the orphan receptor GPR55 by lysophosphatidylinositol promotes metastasis in triple-negative breast cancerTargeting CB2-GPR55 receptor heteromers modulates cancer cell signalingSupport the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/marybiles71)

Selenium is a trace mineral that has extremely powerful antioxidant properties. It's a co-factor enzyme, which means it's involved in a lot of different enzymes as a helper mineral. Its main job as an antioxidant is to help protect against oxidative damage. Selenium may be beneficial for chronic health problems and conditions where there is inflammation. Selenium benefits: 1. Helps make glutathione 2. Oxidative stress reduction 3. Required for the conversion of T4-T3 4. Reduced complications of certain diseases 5. Anticancer 6. Antitumor 7. It may be beneficial for those with alcohol-related liver disease 8. It may be beneficial for those with arsenic poisoning 9. It may be beneficial for those with autoimmune conditions 10. It may be beneficial for those with BPH 11. It may be beneficial for those with diabetes 12. It may help detox mercury The RDAs for selenium are 55mcg. But, the therapeutic dosage you may want to consider taking if you have any of the above conditions would be 200mcg. Selenium can have toxic effects if you take too much. Selenomethionine may be the most beneficial to take. Brazil nuts are one of the most selenium-rich foods. But, they are also very high in phytic acid. Phytic acid actually blocks selenium. If you want to consume Brazil nuts, be sure to soak them overnight and dry them out first to get rid of the phytic acid.

Ep. 315: The Scoop on Red Light and Infrared Therapy In this episode, Stacy and Sarah tackle red light and infrared therapy and whether it's true science or fake quackery!   Click here to listen in iTunes     If you enjoy the show, please review it in iTunes! The Paleo View (TPV), Episode 315: The Scoop on Red Light and Infrared Therapy Intro (0:00) News and Views (0:40) Stacy went to the lake (and the boats stayed on the roof!) and has finally learned to stand and paddle her board! Sarah's kids have been at school for almost a month and she now has a middle schooler! Cole turned 13, so Stacy now has a teenager! School starts for her this week! This week's podcast is sponsored by Joov! If you want to check out Joov's light therapy boxes, visit https://joovv.com/paleoview Joovv is the main consumer product on the market that optimizes all the variables needed to hit that therapeutic window. Many other products out there use dosages and power outputs that are too low to achieve benefits, don’t use the right wavelengths, or don’t target large enough areas of our bodies (or better yet, target our entire body!). New FDA-approved electrostatic-coated LEDs that deliver even more intensity and have passed rigorous 3rd-party testing. Brand new modular design that lets you build a full-body Joovv system now—OR over time. The cool thing is that you can start with just one Joovv, and add on to it over time. Sort of like legos for light therapy! Lastly, all Joovvs now come with a cool built-in Bluetooth control that’s compatible with their new app as well as multiple connected home devices like Alexa and Google Home. “Alexa, I want to Joovv for 10 minutes.” Sarah loves hers and wants to build a whole room of them to stand in! Question from Terri: "I am considering purchasing a Red Light Therapy device...I have read about the sweet spots and the NM needed to be beneficial. I don't want to waste any money, so.....are they effective, or just a fad? I am most interested in skin rejuvenation, surface capillaries, joint and muscle effects. Thank You. Sarah, I value your advice. There are so many scam artists "out there"....hard to know what to believe!!!" Sarah believes in red light therapy because it's so well supported by scientific research! Dates back to the 1960s, when we discovered that low-level laser light caused mouse hair to grow back more quickly and also stimulated wound healing By the 1970s, low-level lasers on humans treated non-healing skin ulcers. Research on this therapy has grown to include various skin benefits (including wrinkle reduction!), weight loss, oral health improvement, improved muscle recovery, better sleep quality, enhanced thyroid health, reduced joint pain and inflammation Super well researched: over 3,000 published clinical studies on light therapy, including over 200 of them double-blinded, randomized, and placebo-controlled (the gold standard!). How does it work? It excites chromophores in your mitochondria and stimulates the energy chemical ATP to form! Induces transcription factors that play role in: protein synthesis, cytokine modulation, cell proliferation growth factors (muscle recovery, tissue repair, collagen formation), angiogenesis, tissue oxygenation, Endogenous antioxidant enzymes (SOD, iNOS), Liver regeneration, inflammatory mediators (pro and anti), CNS health (increases bone-derived neurotrophic factor) Immune cells are strongly affected by red light therapy, Strongly anti-inflammatory, Improves wound healing, Reverses age-related immune dysfunction, Promotes “M1-related immunoregulation” (immune balancing), Antiviral immunity, Antitumor immunity (inhibits tumor growth in studies), Pathogeneisis of autoimmune disease Effects on fibroblasts (collagen-forming cells), enhances production of basic fibroblast growth factor, increases the proliferation, maturity, and motility of fibroblasts (a type of cell that produces collagen and extracellular matrix). Resulting increase in collagen production responsible for much of the skin and joint benefits. Red light also decreases joint pain! Studies have found it to be a good alternative to NSAIDs! A study found that using red light therapy decreases the amount of thyroid medication needed Red and near infrared light has been shown to boost collagen, smooth wrinkles, enhance tone, boost healing and skin regeneration, reducing inflammation and cellular necrosis, and even combating acne. It helps with vitiligo, psoriasis, scars, and more! Existing research has shown that wavelengths of 635 nm can significantly reduce overall body circumference measurements of regions that have been spot-treated, including the waist, thighs, upper arms, and hips (and, studies are increasingly showing that these effects remain in place long-term!). There is an ideal wavelength for red light therapy. The best absorption by our tissues peaks in the ranges of 660-670 nm and 830-850 nm Currently, Joovv is the main consumer product on the market that optimizes all the variables needed to hit that therapeutic window. Many other products out there use dosages and power outputs that are too low to achieve benefits, don’t use the right wavelengths, or don’t target large enough areas of our bodies (or better yet, target our entire body!).

Background To overcome the limitations of animal-based experiments, 3D culture models mimicking the tumor microenvironment in vivo are gaining attention. Herein, we investigated an alginate-based 3D scaffold for screening of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) or/and curcumin on malignancy of colorectal cancer cells (CRC). Methods The potentiation effects of curcumin on 5-FU against proliferation and metastasis of HCT116 cell and its corresponding isogenic 5-FU-chemoresistant cells (HCT116R) were examined in a 3D-alginate tumor model. Results CRC cells encapsulated in alginate were able to proliferate in 3D-colonospheres in a vivo-like phenotype and invaded from alginate. During cultivation of cells in alginate, we could isolate 3 stages of cells, (1) alginate proliferating (2) invasive and (3) adherent cells. Tumor-promoting factors (CXCR4, MMP-9, NF-κB) were significantly increased in the proliferating and invasive compared to the adherent cells, however HCT116R cells overexpressed factors in comparison to the parental HCT116, suggesting an increase in malignancy behavior. In alginate, curcumin potentiated 5-FU-induced decreased capacity for proliferation, invasion and increased more sensitivity to 5-FU of HCT116R compared to the HCT116 cells. IC50 for HCT116 to 5-FU was 8nM, but co-treatment with 5 μM curcumin significantly reduced 5-FU concentrations in HCT116 and HCT116R cells (0.8nM, 0.1nM, respectively) and these effects were accompanied by down-regulation of NF-κB activation and NF-κB-regulated gene products. Conclusions Our results demonstrate that the alginate provides an excellent tumor microenvironment and indicate that curcumin potentiates and chemosensitizes HCT116R cells to 5-FU-based chemotherapy that may be useful for the treatment of CRC and to overcome drug resistance.

Randomized trials performed in anthracycline-pretreated breast cancer patients have demonstrated good activity of taxane-based regimens. In a face to face comparison, single-agent docetaxel proved to be significantly more effective than paclitaxel. Treatment with docetaxel was also associated with an increased incidence of grade grade-3/4 toxicities in this trial. Antitumor activity of taxane-based combination regimens was clearly superior to single-agent therapy in two trials. As anticipated, treatment-associated toxicity was greater with combination regimens, but this did not affect quality of life.
