In the last decade, increasing evidence has emerged demonstrating that alterations in ECM composition and assembly strongly affect cellular function and behavior. Even though the detailed mechanisms underlying cell-ECM crosstalk are yet to unravel, it is well established that ECM deregulation accompanies the development of many pathological conditions, such as gastric cancer. Notably, gastric cancer remains a worldwide concern, representing the third most frequent cause of cancer-associated deaths. Despite increased surveillance protocols, patients are usually diagnosed at advanced disease stages, urging the identification of novel diagnostic biomarkers and efficient therapeutic strategies.

These cells therefore represent a promising target for the treatment of CRC but are difficult to study because of the complexity of their isolation. This review presents the methods currently used to isolate colorectal CSCs as well as the techniques for characterizing these cells with their advantages and limitations. The aim of this review is to provide a state-of-the-art on the clinical relevance of CSCs in CRC by outlining current treatments for CRC, the resistance mechanisms developed by CSCs to overcome them, and ongoing clinical trials of drugs targeting CSCs in CRC. Overall, this review addresses the complexity of studying CSCs in CRC research and developing clinically effective treatments to enable CRC patients to achieve a short and long-term therapeutic response.

The same has also encouraged the evaluation of multiple HDACi candidates in preclinical studies in cancer and other diseases as well as the FDA-approval towards clinical use for specific agents. In this review, we have discussed how the efficacy of immunotherapy can be leveraged by combining it with HDACis. We have also included a brief overview of the classification of HDACis as well as their various roles in physiological and pathophysiological scenarios to target key cellular processes promoting the initiation, establishment, and progression of cancer. Given the critical role of the tumor microenvironment (TME) towards the outcome of anticancer therapies, we have also discussed the effect of HDACis on different components of the TME. We then have gradually progressed into examples of specific pan-HDACis, class I HDACi, and selective HDACis that either have been incorporated into clinical trials or show promising preclinical effects for future consideration.

  • Predictive QSAR Tools to Aid in Early Process Development of Monoclonal Antibodies
    Predictive QSAR tools to aid in early process development of monoclonal antibodies John Micael Andreas Karlberg Published work submitted to Newcastle University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Engineering November 2019 Abstract Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have become one of the fastest growing markets for diagnostic and therapeutic treatments over the last 30 years with a global sales revenue around $89 billion reported in 2017. A popular framework widely used in pharmaceutical industries for designing manufacturing processes for mAbs is Quality by Design (QbD) due to providing a structured and systematic approach in investigation and screening process parameters that might influence the product quality. However, due to the large number of product quality attributes (CQAs) and process parameters that exist in an mAb process platform, extensive investigation is needed to characterise their impact on the product quality which makes the process development costly and time consuming. There is thus an urgent need for methods and tools that can be used for early risk-based selection of critical product properties and process factors to reduce the number of potential factors that have to be investigated, thereby aiding in speeding up the process development and reduce costs. In this study, a framework for predictive model development based on Quantitative Structure- Activity Relationship (QSAR) modelling was developed to link structural features and properties of mAbs to Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography (HIC) retention times and expressed mAb yield from HEK cells. Model development was based on a structured approach for incremental model refinement and evaluation that aided in increasing model performance until becoming acceptable in accordance to the OECD guidelines for QSAR models.

  • Vorinostat—An Overview Aditya Kumar Bubna
    E-IJD RESIDENTS' PAGE Vorinostat—An Overview Aditya Kumar Bubna Abstract From the Consultant Vorinostat is a new drug used in the management of cutaneous T cell lymphoma when the Dermatologist, Kedar Hospital, disease persists, gets worse or comes back during or after treatment with other medicines. It is Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India an efficacious and well tolerated drug and has been considered a novel drug in the treatment of this condition. Currently apart from cutaneous T cell lymphoma the role of Vorinostat for Address for correspondence: other types of cancers is being investigated both as mono-therapy and combination therapy. Dr. Aditya Kumar Bubna, Kedar Hospital, Mugalivakkam Key Words: Cutaneous T cell lymphoma, histone deacytelase inhibitor, Vorinostat Main Road, Porur, Chennai - 600 125, Tamil Nadu, India. E-mail: [email protected] What was known? • Vorinostat is a histone deacetylase inhibitor. • It is an FDA approved drug for the treatment of cutaneous T cell lymphoma. Introduction of Vorinostat is approximately 9. Vorinostat is slightly Vorinostat is a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, soluble in water, alcohol, isopropanol and acetone and is structurally belonging to the hydroxymate group. Other completely soluble in dimethyl sulfoxide. drugs in this group include Givinostat, Abexinostat, Mechanism of action Panobinostat, Belinostat and Trichostatin A. These Vorinostat is a broad inhibitor of HDAC activity and inhibits are an emergency class of drugs with potential anti- class I and class II HDAC enzymes.[2,3] However, Vorinostat neoplastic activity. These drugs were developed with the does not inhibit HDACs belonging to class III. Based on realization that apart from genetic mutation, alteration crystallographic studies, it has been seen that Vorinostat of HDAC enzymes affected the phenotypic and genotypic binds to the zinc atom of the catalytic site of the HDAC expression in cells, which in turn lead to disturbed enzyme with the phenyl ring of Vorinostat projecting out of homeostasis and neoplastic growth.

  • Targeted and Novel Therapy in Advanced Gastric Cancer Julie H
    Selim et al. Exp Hematol Oncol (2019) 8:25 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40164-019-0149-6 Experimental Hematology & Oncology REVIEW Open Access Targeted and novel therapy in advanced gastric cancer Julie H. Selim1 , Shagufta Shaheen2 , Wei‑Chun Sheu3 and Chung‑Tsen Hsueh4* Abstract The systemic treatment options for advanced gastric cancer (GC) have evolved rapidly in recent years. We have reviewed the recent data of clinical trial incorporating targeted agents, including inhibitors of angiogenesis, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), mesenchymal–epithelial transition, epidermal growth factor receptor, mammalian target of rapamycin, claudin‑18.2, programmed death‑1 and DNA. Addition of trastuzumab to platinum‑ based chemotherapy has become standard of care as front‑line therapy in advanced GC overexpressing HER2. In the second‑line setting, ramucirumab with paclitaxel signifcantly improves overall survival compared to paclitaxel alone. For patients with refractory disease, apatinib, nivolumab, ramucirumab and TAS‑102 have demonstrated single‑agent activity with improved overall survival compared to placebo alone. Pembrolizumab has demonstrated more than 50% response rate in microsatellite instability‑high tumors, 15% response rate in tumors expressing programmed death ligand 1, and non‑inferior outcome in frst‑line treatment compared to chemotherapy. This review summarizes the current state and progress of research on targeted therapy for advanced GC. Keywords: Gastric cancer, Targeted therapy, Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, Programmed death‑1, Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 Background GC mortality which is consistent with overall decrease in Gastric cancer (GC), including adenocarcinoma of the GC-related deaths [4]. gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) and stomach, is the ffth Tere have been several eforts to perform large-scale most common cancer and the third leading cause of can- molecular profling and classifcation of GC.
