Article Abstract

Activation of the adaptive Ire1-XBP1 pathway has been identified in many solid tumors and hematologic malignancies, including multiple myeloma (MM). Here, we report the identification of STF-083010, a novel small-molecule inhibitor of Ire1. STF-083010 inhibited Ire1 endonuclease activity, without affecting its kinase activity, after endoplasmic reticulum stress both in vitro and in vivo. Treatment with STF-083010 showed significant antimyeloma activity in model human MM xenografts. Similarly, STF-083010 was preferentially toxic to freshly isolated human CD138(+) MM cells compared with other similarly isolated cell populations. The identification of this novel Ire1 inhibitor supports the hypothesis that the Ire1-XBP1 axis is a promising target for anticancer therapy, especially in the context of MM.

Importance: Patients with advanced cancer frequently receive broad-spectrum antibiotics, but changing use patterns across the end-of-life trajectory remain poorly understood.

Objective: To describe the patterns of broad-spectrum antibiotic use across defined end-of-life intervals in patients with advanced cancer.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This nationwide, population-based, retrospective cohort study used data from the South Korean National Health Insurance Service database to examine broad-spectrum antibiotic use among patients with advanced cancer who died between July 1, 2002, and December 31, 2021.

Despite therapeutic advances, multiple myeloma (MM) remains incurable, especially in relapsed/refractory (R/R) cases. B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) is a key target for novel immunotherapies, including chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapies and bispecific T-cell engagers (BiTEs), which vary in efficacy, toxicity, and accessibility. To compare the efficacy and safety of BCMA-directed CAR-T therapies and BiTEs in R/R MM through a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Light chain multiple myeloma (LCMM) is a malignant hematological disease characterized by bone marrow infiltration by tumor plasma cells and the secretion of monoclonal free light chains (κ or λ). It is often di-agnosed through hypogammaglobulinemia detected by serum protein electrophoresis, followed by immunotyping showing a monoclonal band in free light chains. However, the structure of monoclonal light chains can sometimes complicate laboratory findings.

Purpose: The survival and progression of multiple myeloma (MM) cells rely heavily on supportive factors and cells within the MM microenvironment, notably macrophages. The PI3K signaling pathway plays a crucial role in both myeloma cells survival and macrophage polarity, making it a potential target for altering the MM microenvironment dynamics.

Methods: In this study, the impact of LY294002, a PI3K signaling pathway inhibitor, on the viability of U266 myeloma cells in mono-culture and MM patient-derived bone marrow mononuclear cells (BM-MNCs) in co-culture was investigated.
