A Review on Protease Inhibitors of Herbal Origin to Combat Malignancy
J Environ Pathol Toxicol Oncol. 2024;43(3):1-11. doi: 10.1615/JEnvironPatholToxicolOncol.2024052872.ABSTRACTProtease is the enzyme accountable for the breakdown of proteins i.e., proteolysis. Proteases are reportedly involved in the events of growth, development, progression and metastasis of cancers. If any agent could inhibit/retard the protease enzyme, i.e., protease inhibitor, it would arrest the cancer; thus indicating the significance of exploring protease inhibitors for latest anti-malignant drug discovery. Higher plants are the rich sources of different protease inhibitors that are effective against several types o...

Treatment Strategy for Breast Benign Intraductal Papilloma: A Meta-Analysis
This study aims to conduct a meta-analysis to determine the rate of upgrade from breast benign IDP and identify predictive factors associated with the conversion of benign IDP to high-risk lesions or carcinoma, which could guide healthcare practitioners in selecting the appropriate clinical treatment strategy. We conducted a comprehensive search across multiple databases (PubMed, Web Of Science, Cochrane Library, and Embase) for studies published between 2012 and 2023 that evaluated upgrade rates and predictive factors of breast benign IDP diagnosed via biopsy. In addition, we included studies that reported on the clinical...

Development of a Prognostic Model for Gastric Cancer Based on Apoptosis- and Hypoxia-Related Genes: Predictive Insights into Survival and Immune Landscape
This study attempted to delineate potential value of apoptosis and hypoxia-related genes (AHRGs) in prognosis of gastric cancer. Differential expression analysis was performed on GC transcriptomic data from TCGA. Apoptosis-related genes (ARGs) and hypoxia-related genes (HRGs) were obtained from MSigDB, followed by intersecting them with differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in GC. A prognostic model was constructed using univariate, LASSO, and multivariate regression analyses. The model was validated using a Gene Expression Omnibus dataset. DEGs between risk groups were subjected to enrichment analysis. A nomogram was plot...

TFR1-Mediated Iron Metabolism Orchestrates Tumor Ferroptosis and Immunity in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
This study aimed to investigate the underlying molecular mechanisms of transferrin receptor (TFR1) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Histological analysis was performed using hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. The number of CD8+ T cell were determined by flow cytometry and immunofluorescence assays. mRNA levels were analyzed by qRT-PCR. Protein expression was detected by western blot. Ferroptosis was detected by using propidium iodide (PI) staining. Xenograft experiment was applied for determining tumor growth. The results showed that interferon (IFN)-γ plus iron dextran (FeDx) induced iron overload and the ferroptosis...

Complex Genomic Rearrangement Patterns in Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma due to Environmental Asbestos Exposure
In this study, we aimed to characterize complex genomic rearrangement patterns and variations to better understand the genomics of MPM tumors. We comparatively scanned 3 MPM tumor genomes by Whole-Genome Sequencing and High-Resolution SNP array. We also used various computational algorithms to detect both CNAs and complex chromosomal rearrangements. Genomic data obtained from each bioinformatics tool are interpreted comparatively to better understand CNAs and cancer-related Nucleotide variations in MPM tumors. In patients 1 and 2, we found pathogenic nucleotide variants of BAP1, RB1, and TP53. These two MPM genomes exhibit...

Withaferin A-Encapsulated PEGylated Nanoliposomes Induce Apoptosis in B16F10 Melanoma Cells by Regulating Bcl2 and Bcl xl Genes and Mitigates Murine Solid Tumor Development
J Environ Pathol Toxicol Oncol. 2024;43(2):29-42. doi: 10.1615/JEnvironPatholToxicolOncol.2023046909.ABSTRACTWithaferin A (WA) is a natural steroidal lactone with promising pharmacological activities, but its poor solubility and bioavailability hinder its clinical application. The liposomal drug delivery system has attracted considerable attention to overcome the delivery limitations of pharmacological agents. The present study investigated the effect of WA-loaded pegylated nanoliposomes (LWA) on in vitro and in vivo B16F10 melanoma tumor models. In vitro results showed that LWA had significantly (P < 0.01) higher cytot...
