Luteolin, a flavonoid present in botanical drugs, plants, and dietary sources, has demonstrated anticancer properties against various tumors, yet its role in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) remains unclear. This study aimed to uncover the molecular mechanism of luteolin in DLBCL treatment using a combination of in vitro and in vivo experiments and computational analysis. Human DLBCL cell lines U2932 and OCI-LY10 were utilized to assess luteolin’s impact on cell growth, apoptosis, cell cycle progression, and the modulation of JAK2/STAT3 pathway proteins. In vivo, a U2932 tumor-bearing nude mice model was employed to evaluate luteolin’s antitumor efficacy and its effects on JAK2/STAT3 pathway protein expression. Additionally, molecular dynamics simulations were conducted to explore the interaction between luteolin and JAK2. The findings revealed that luteolin significantly suppressed cell proliferation, induced apoptosis, and arrested the cell cycle at the G2/M phase in both cell lines. In the mouse model, luteolin effectively inhibited tumor growth and downregulated the expression of phosphorylated JAK2 and STAT3 without altering the total protein levels of JAK2 and STAT3. Computational analysis indicated stable binding of luteolin to JAK2. Collectively, these results suggest that luteolin’s anti-DLBCL activity may be mediated through the regulation of the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway, positioning it as a potential therapeutic agent for DLBCL.
One of the major limitations of cancer therapy is the emergence of drug resistance. This review amis to provide a focused analysis of the multifactorial mechanisms underlying therapy resistance,with an emphasis on actionable insights for developing novel therapeutic strategies. It concisely outlines key factors contributing to therapy resistance, including drug delivery barriers, cancer stem cells (CSCs), epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), cancer heterogeneity, tumor microenvironment (TME), genetic mutations, and alterlations in gene expression. Additionally, we explore how tumors evade targeted therapies through pathway-specific mechanisms that restore disrupted signaling pathways. The review critically evaluates innovative strategies designed to sensitize resistant tumor cells, such as targeted protein dedgradation, antibody-drug conjugates, structure-based drug design, allosteric drugs, multitarget drugs, nanomedicine and others We also highlight the importance of understanding the pharmacological actions of these agents and their integration into treatment regimens. By synthesizing current knowledge and identifying gaps in our understanding, this review aims to guide future research and improve patient outcomes in cancer therapy.
Background Lung cancer (LC) is the leading cause of cancer death in humans. tRNA-derived small RNA (tsRNA) is a novel biomarker that plays a crucial role in the genesis and development of LC. In this study, we aimed to investigate the value of differentially expressed tsRNA in LC through meta-analysis. Methods PubMed and Web of Science were searched until March 31, 2023. Diagnostic odds ratios (DORs) and area under the curves (AUCs) were used to evaluate the potential of tsRNAs as diagnostic markers for LC. Furthermore, hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs) were used to analyze the association of tsRNAs with LC prognosis. Results A total of 10 studies were included for analysis. Our results indicated that the combined DOR of total tsRNAs in LC diagnosis was 5.45, and AUC was 0.76. Subgroup analysis showed that high expression of tsRNAs in serum had higher diagnostic efficacy (DOR = 15.94, AUC = 0.87). Moreover, high expression of tsRNAs was associated with a worse prognosis in LC patients (HR = 1.59, 95%CI: 1.33–1.90). Conclusion Our findings suggest that high expression of tsRNAs has potential value in the diagnosis and prognosis of LC patients. However, further high-quality studies are needed to validate our results.
Occurrences of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) arise in approximately 10-15% of pediatric ALL cases and the outcomes for high-risk T-ALL are inferior. Currently, the precise dissection of clonal evolution with intra-tumoral heterogeneity and to delineate targetable molecular events driving relapse in T-ALL subtypes have become area of interest. We carried out high-throughput droplet-based 5′-single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) and paired T-cell receptor sequencing (scTCR-seq) of isolated CD7 + BMMCs from five patients' Dx_Rel paired samples. To investigate the gene signature variation underlying leukemic progression, we observed two distinct patterns of evolutionary trajectories in the four Dx_Rel nonETP-ALL pairs. From T956 and T723, a significant outgrowth in TCR initially negligible diagnostic subclusters at relapse, to which surrogate TCR repertoires were correspondingly linked and enumerated, suggestive robust dominant “clonal shifts” under continuous chemotherapeutic pressure. Whereas in Dx_Rel pairs T593 and T856, which contained subclusters with distinct gene signatures at diagnosis or relapse respectively, shared an identical TCR genotype (TCR Dx-Rel major clone). The clonal architecture clues gained from simultaneous scRNA-seq and scTCR-seq are strongly indicative of the leukemic “clonal drift” that commonly occurs under chemotherapeutic stress, during which somehow, hypothetically, molecular signatures within the same TCR subclones intrinsically progressed over time ( Fig. A-H). Next, we designed a targeted scDNA-seq library within a custom panel covering 127 amplicons and 102 genes via Tapastri platform to validate these two patterns of clonal evolution during leukemia progression unambiguously. Likewise, we captured that in persisted subclones in T593 and T856 leukemic cells attained reproductive fitness from maintaining a mutational static status with remarkable transcriptomic variation from diagnosis to relapse. To further interpret the transcriptomic signature drift in the persisted TCR-defined major clones from T593 and T856 pairs, differential expression analysis was employed with RNA-binding protein Musashi-2 (MSI2) showing the most prominent differential expression pattern across drifted subclones catching our attention as a potential indicator of intrinsic clonal progression related to chemo-resistance. Comprehensive analysis of RNA-seq data from the CCCG-ALL-2015 cohort (n=72) and TARGET T-ALL cohort (n = 264) revealed that higher levels of MSI2 mRNA expression in pediatric T-ALL were correlated with higher measurable residual disease (MRD) after induction, and significant correlation between elevated MIS2 mRNA and resistance to prednisone, daunorubicin, and cytarabine were observed from ex vivo drug response assay. RNA immunoprecipitation and high-throughput mRNA sequencing from T-ALL cell lines detected a consistent significant enrichment of MYC transcript peaks in three T-ALL cell lines, indicating the molecular mechanism of MSI2 upregulation on MYC in the progression of T-ALL. Finally, In vitro and in vivo pharmacotyping analysis further validated the MSI2 inhibition significantly sensitized T-ALL to the chemotherapeutic drugs. Collectively, our study leveraging single-cell multi-omics profiling has provided a snapshot of the clonal architecture evolution that occurs from diagnosis to relapse in T-ALL, proving the coexistence of “clonal shift” and “clonal drift” in leukemic progression. Systemic analysis of drifted T-ALL clones has provided compelling evidence of the posttranscriptional regulatory effect of MSI2 on MYC and its potential correlation with leukemic reoccurrence, pinpointing MSI2 as a promising drug target of T-ALL in the future practice.
Qiling Baitouweng Tang (QLBTWT) is a traditional clinical formula for treating diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), but its molecular action is not fully understood. This research is utilized in silico analysis and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC‒MS/MS) to identify the active constituents of QLBTWT with anti-DLBCL properties and their targets. The study identified 14 compounds, including quercetin, naringenin, and astilbin, as potentially effective against DLBCL. Molecular modeling highlighted the favorable interaction of quercetin with the JAK2 protein. In vitro studies confirmed the ability of quercetin to inhibit DLBCL cell growth and migration while inducing apoptosis and causing G2/M phase cell cycle arrest. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed that quercetin binds to JAK2 as a type II inhibitor. In vivo studies in U2932 xenograft models demonstrated that QLBTWT inhibited tumor growth in a dose-dependent manner, which was associated with the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway. Overall, this study elucidates the therapeutic effect of QLBTWT on DLBCL through quercetin-mediated suppression of the JAK2/STAT3 pathway, offering novel therapeutic insights for DLBCL.

OBJECTIVESThis study aimed to investigate the performance of Pulsatilla saponin A (PsA) in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) cells.METHODSProliferation, ELISA, apoptosis, cell cycle analysis, and assays were carried out to detect the growth and apoptosis in DLBCL cells. Western blotting was used to identify the change in the protein.RESULTSIn cell assays, PsA significantly inhibited the growth and apoptosis in DLBCL cells. The IL-10 and TNF-α of OCI-LY10 and U2932 cells were reduced after 24h PsA treatment. Bax, cleaved PARP, and cleaved Caspase-3 were increased, while Bcl-2 and C-Myc decreased after PsA treatment. IL-10 may regulate the expression of C-Myc protein in cells by activating the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway. PsA can inhibit the overexpression of p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 signaling pathways induced by IL-10 stimulants. The proliferation and apoptosis induced by PsA were confirmed in DLBCL cells.CONCLUSIONOur findings revealed that PsA may exert its antitumor effect by causing G1 arrest and apoptosis in DLBCL cells. The mechanism of PsA regulating apoptosis in DLBCL cells is probably through the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway in vitro.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of celastrol on the proliferation and apoptosis of human multiple myeloma (MM) cell lines, reveal the relationship between IRAK4/ERK/p38 signaling pathway and celastrol regulating the proliferation and apoptosis of H929 and ARP-1 cells, and explore whether celastrol combined with bortezomib has synergistic effect. METHODS CCK-8 method was used to detect the viability of MM cell lines H929 and ARP-1 treated by different concentrations of celastrol, bortezomib, and their combination, and the synergistic effect was determined by Kim's formula. The apoptosis rate of H929 cells and necrosis rate of ARP-1 were detected by Annexin V/PI method. The expression of key proteins and apoptosis proteins in IRAK4/ERK/p38 signaling pathway were detected by Western blot. RESULTS Celastrol could significantly inhibit the proliferation of H929 and ARP-1 cells (r=0.9018, r=0.9244) and induce apoptosis in a time-dependent manner. Compared with the control group, celastrol could significantly up-regulate the expression of PARP and cleaved caspase-3 while down-regulate the expression of p-IRAK4, p-ERK, and p-p38 in H929 and ARP-1 cells. Celastrol and bortezomib alone inhibited the proliferation of H929 and ARP-1 cells. Compared with celastrol and bortezomib alone, their combination had lower cell survival rate and higher apoptosis rate (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Celastrol can inhibit the proliferation and promote the apoptosis of H929 and ARP-1 cells, which may be related to inhibiting the phosphorylation of IRAK4 and blocking the activation of IRAK4/ERK/p38 signaling pathway. Celastrol combined with bortezomib has synergistic effect, which can more effectively inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis of H929 and ARP-1 cells.
