Article Abstract
It has been found that sertraline, a widely used antidepressant drug, possessed antitumor roles in a variety of cancers including liver cancer, colorectal cancer and lymphoma. In this study, we provided evidences that sertraline had potent antiproliferative activity not only in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines but also in the fresh leukemia cells from AML patients, and could induce cell death through both apoptosis and autophagy pathways. Moreover, we found that inhibiting autophagy pathway could partially attenuate sertraline-induced apoptosis and cell growth inhibition, indicating that sertraline-induced autophagy process could facilitate AML cell apoptosis to some degree. However, blocking apoptosis pathway seemed no obvious effects on sertraline-caused autophagy as well as cell growth inhibition. Our results suggested a potential application value of sertraline in the treatment of AML patients, furnishing some perspectives for novel therapeutic strategies in leukemia.

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), a myeloproliferative neoplasm, is characterized by the fusion gene, which results in constitutive tyrosine kinase activity. While tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have significantly improved CML outcomes, resistance and the persistence of leukemic stem cells remain major clinical challenges. Curcumin, a natural polyphenol derived from , has demonstrated potential anticancer properties.

The occurrence and progression of liver cancer are closely associated with mitochondrial dysfunction. Mitochondria exhibit characteristics, such as decreased oxidative phosphorylation efficiency, abnormal accumulation of reactive oxygen species in liver cancer and promoting tumor proliferation and drug resistance through the Warburg effect, as the core of energy metabolism and apoptosis regulation. Mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and dysregulation of mitochondrial autophagy (mitophagy) further enhance the invasive and metastatic capabilities of liver cancer.

While vault RNA1-1 (vtRNA1-1) has been implicated in tumor biology, its specific role in cancer stemness and regorafenib resistance remains unexplored. In this study, we identify vtRNA1-1 as a critical regulator of cancer stemness and chemoresistance in Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). vtRNA1-1 enhances stemness properties by modulating the nuclear accumulation of Nanog, a core transcription factor.

Overexpression of protein lysine methyltransferase G9a, which catalyzes mono- and di-methylation of histone H3K9 and non-histone proteins, is closely associated with poor prognosis and metastasis of various cancers. Here, we designed and synthesized a series of novel G9a inhibitors bearing 2-tetrahydroisoquinoline substituted quinazoline scaffold. Among them, compound 31 with 2-dioxole fused tetrahydroisoquinoline exhibited the most potent inhibitory effects against G9a with an IC value of 0.

Cell death mechanisms play a fundamental role in mycobacterial pathogenesis. We critically reviewed 94 research manuscripts, 44 review articles, and 4 book chapters to analyze important discoveries, background literature, and potential shortcomings in the field. The focus of this review is the pathogen (Mtb) and other Mtb and complex microorganisms.
