CD@Co ₃ O ₄ heterojunctions were successfully synthesized to achieve complete tumor eradication by mild NIR-II hyperthermia-amplified nanocatalytic therapy.

Lung cancer has been the leading cause of cancer-related death for many years worldwide. Pemetrexed, either as monotherapy or combined with other agents, is the preferred chemotherapy regimen for lung adenocarcinoma. However, both de novo and acquired resistance against pemetrexed frequently occur and lead to poor prognosis of patients. The underlying mechanisms remain poorly characterized. Here, RNA-seq analysis is utilized to compare gene expression levels in an adenocarcinoma cell line A549 with those in its pemetrexed-resistant counterpart, A549/PEM. We show that SRC3 is one of the most significantly upregulated genes in pemetrexed-resistant cells. SRC3 specifically enhances pemetrexed resistance in cultured adenocarcinoma cells. In addition, SRC3 increases pemetrexed resistance by decreasing chemotherapy-induced apoptosis via downregulating ROS level. Mechanistically, SRC3 enhances pemetrexed resistance via regulating Nrf2 and AKT signaling pathway. High SRC3 expression is positively correlated with decreased responsiveness to pemetrexed rather than other chemotherapeutic agents and predicts a poorer clinical outcome in lung adenocarcinoma patients. These data indicate that knockdown of SRC3 may be useful to treat pemetrexed-resistant lung cancer and may also provide a specific biomarker to predict pemetrexed responsiveness in lung cancer.

Introduction: Despite rapid advances in molecular biology, personalized molecular therapy remains a clinical challenge for endometrial cancer due to its complex and heterogeneous tumor microenvironment.Based on clinical findings, AIB1 is a marker molecule for poor prognosis in endometrial cancer and may serve as a potential therapeutic target. Moreover, it is well known that aerobic glycolysis plays an important role in tumour energy metabolism. It has been previously reported in various hormone-related tumour studies that AIB1 affects glycolysis and promotes tumour development. However, the link between AIB1 and aerobic glycolysis in estrogen-dependent endometrial cancer remains unclear.Methods: We used two endometrial cancer cell lines to validate the high expression of target genes and the effect on the proliferative and invasive capacity of the tumours and verified the pattern of interactions and epigenetic modifications by CHIP and CO-IP techniques. Finally, the conclusions were validated on homozygous miceResults: In this study, we investigated the transcriptional co-activation functions of AIB1, including its acetylation by PCAF, binding to the c-myc transcription factor, and recruitment of glycolysis-related gene promoters.Discussion: Our findings provide new clues that perturbation of normal homeostatic levels of AIB1 is linked with endometrial cancer. These findings suggest that targeting AIB1-mediated regulation of aerobic glycolysis may offer a novel therapeutic approach for endometrial cancer with high AIB1 expression, opening new avenues for personalized diagnostics and treatment strategies in this disease.
