Engine shutdown: Migrastatic strategies and prevention of metastases
(2023)
Most cancer-related deaths among patients with solid tumors are caused by metastases. Migrastatic strategies represent a unique therapeutic approach to prevent all forms of cancer cell migration and invasion. Because the ...
Targeting of the Mitochondrial TET1 Protein by Pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyrrole Chelators
(2022)
Targeting of epigenetic mechanisms, such as the hydroxymethylation of DNA, has been intensively studied, with respect to the treatment of many serious pathologies, including oncological disorders. Recent studies demonstrated ...
Azulene hydrazide-hydrazones for selective targeting of pancreatic cancer cells
(2022)
Dysregulation of iron homeostasis is one of the important processes in the development of many oncological diseases, such as pancreatic cancer. Targeting it with specific agents, such as an iron chelator, are promising ...
TET protein inhibitors: Potential and limitations
(2023)
TET proteins (methylcytosine dioxygenases) play an important role in the regulation of gene expression. Dysregulation of their activity is associated with many serious pathogenic states such as oncological diseases. ...
The Role of IL-6 in Cancer Cell Invasiveness and Metastasis — Overview and Therapeutic Opportunities
(2022)
Interleukin 6 (IL-6) belongs to a broad class of cytokines involved in the regulation of various homeostatic and pathological processes. These activities range from regulating embryonic development, wound healing and ageing, ...
Pentamethinium salts suppress key metastatic processes by regulating mitochondrial function and inhibiting dihydroorotate dehydrogenase respiration
(2022)
Mitochondria generate energy and building blocks required for cellular growth and function. The notion that mitochondria are not involved in the cancer growth has been challenged in recent years together with the emerging ...
