Trifluridine/Tipiracil (FTD/TPI, TAS102) has been approved for the treatment of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) for its promising anticancer activity enabled by its incorporation into double strands during DNA synthesis. However, the mechanisms underlying the anticancer targets of FTD/TPI remain not fully understood. Here we report our observation of the activation of ferroptosis in CRC by FTD/TPI. Mechanistically, FTD/TPI directly promotes the ubiquitination and degradation of MDM2, thereby stabilizing the p53. Nuclear accumulation of p53 subsequently downregulates SLC7A11 expression, leading to ferroptosis. Furthermore, we observed that FTD/TPI combined with sulfasalazine (SAS), a system Xc– inhibitor, works in a synergistic manner to induce ferroptosis and further inhibit the proliferation of CRC cells. Finally, we confirmed the synergistic effect of SAS and FTD/TPI on patient-derived organoids in vitro and patient-derived xenograft mouse models in vivo. Our findings are the first to reveal that FTD/TPI induces ferroptosis via the p53-SLC7A11 axis and that SAS enhances the sensitivity and therapeutic effect of FTD/TPI. These findings suggest that the synergistic effect of FTD/TPI and SAS may represent a new therapeutic strategy for patients with CRC.
BACKGROUND:The primary cilia (PC) is a microtubule-based and nonmotile organelle which protrudes from the surface of almost all mammalian cells. At present, PC has been found to be a deficiency or loss in multiple cancers. Restoring PC could be a novel targeting therapy strategy. Our research showed that PC was reduced in human bladder cancer (BLCA) cells, and PC deficiency promotes cell proliferation. However, the concrete mechanisms remain unknown. SCL/TAL1 interrupting locus (STIL), a PC-related protein, was screened in our previous study and could influence the cell cycle by regulating PC in tumor cells. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the function of STIL for PC to explore the underlying mechanism of PC in BLCA.METHODS:Public database analysis, western blot, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were used to screen genes and explore gene expression alteration. Immunofluorescence and western blot were utilized to investigate PC. Wound healing assay, clone formation assay, and CCK-8 assay were used to explore cell migration, growth, and proliferation. The co-immunoprecipitation and western blot were employed to reveal the interaction of STIL and AURKA.RESULTS:We found that high STIL expression is correlated with poor outcomes of BLCA patients. Further analysis revealed that STIL overexpression could inhibit PC formation, activate SHH signaling pathways, and promote cell proliferation. In contrast, STIL-knockdown could promote PC formation, inactivate SHH signaling, and inhibit cell proliferation. Furthermore, we found that the regulatory functions of STIL for PC depend on AURKA. STIL could influence proteasome activity and maintain AURKA stabilization. AURKA-knockdown could reverse PC deficiency caused by STIL overexpression for PC in BLCA cells. We observed that co-knockdown in STIL and AURKA significantly enhanced PC assembly.CONCLUSION:In summary, our result provides a potential therapy target for BLCA based on the restoration of PC.

Glioma is life-threatening tumor of the central nervous system. Although lidocaine is usually used as local anesthetic, it also has antitumor effects. However, its clinical application in glioma is hampered by limited distribution to the brain. The aim of the present study was to enhance the ability of lidocaine to penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to target glioma and investigate its antitumor mechanism. A folic acid (FA)-modified lidocaine-carrying liposome (Lid-FA-Lip) was prepared, and its particle size, ζ potential, encapsulation efficiency, release profile stability and hemolytic effect were characterized in vitro. The targeting capacity and antitumor activities of Lid-FA-Lip were also investigated in vitro and in vivo. The results indicated that the modification of liposomes with FA significantly improved the ability of lidocaine to cross the BBB in an in vitro model and increased its uptake by U87 cells. Additionally, Lid-FA-Lip significantly suppressed the motility of U87 glioma cells and stimulated apoptosis. Furthermore, the results confirmed that Lid-FA-Lip targeted the PI3K/AKT pathway and suppressed the growth of glioma xenografts in mice. In summary, the study demonstrated that Lid-FA-Lip is a promising liposomal formulation of lidocaine that may provide improved therapeutic effects on glioma, mediated via the PI3K/AKT pathway.

Objective: To explore the clinical presentation and therapy of primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma (PCALCL). Methods:We reviewed and analyzed six cases of PCALCL who were treated at our hospital from January 2009 to Decem-ber 2012. Results:The subjects were three males and three females with a median age of 54 years old (range:38 years to 60 years). Three patients had a single subcutaneous nodule and three had multiple nodules. The subcutaneous lesions appeared red, solid, and sta-ble nodules. Some patients developed pruritus around the lesions, or developed more nodules, which coalesced with other nodules. Some of the lesions exhibited partial spontaneous regression and new nodules appeared at the same site or at different sites. Finally, the lesions changed color from red to brown. The surfaces of some lesions developed ulcerations. Only 1 case had superficial lymph node metastasis. Three cases with single lesions received surgical excision plus radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or radiochemotherapy;all three cases survived and achieved complete remission. The three cases with multiple lesions mainly received systemic chemotherapy, with two of the cases recurring and one surviving with complete remission. The median follow-up was 24 months (range: 11 months to 35 months), with a progression free survival of 66.7%and an overall survival of 100%. Conclusion:Surgical excision or radiotherapy provides satisfactory control in patients with single lesions. Chemotherapy may be prescribed to patients with multiple lesions or with extracutaneous metastasis.
