Article Abstract

Aim: This study investigates the anti-proliferative potential and possible molecular mechanisms of 3-(2-furoyl)-indole derivatives against HepG2.

Method: Identified hit compounds (4a, 4b, 4c) using MTT screening, were further investigated for their efficacy and mechanism of action through FACS studies, in-silico molecular docking, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, and label-free quantitative proteome and ADMET prediction.

Results: Lead compound 4a, showed IC50 of 27 µM against HepG2 cells and a binding score of -8.077 kcal/mol against IGF-1 R (PDB ID: 5XFS) and formed a stable complex 100 ns. Proteomic study revealed significant downregulation of the IGF-1 R downstream signaling molecules and showed minimal toxicity and favorable drug-like properties.

Conclusion: These findings suggest that 4a is a promising IGF-1 R inhibitor and potential drug candidate against drug resistance hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Purpose: Targeted therapy with lenvatinib is a preferred option for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, however, predicting its efficacy remains challenging. This study aimed to build a nomogram integrating clinicoradiological indicators and radiomics features to predict the response to lenvatinib in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

Methods: This study included 211 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma from two centers, who were allocated into the training (107 patients), internal test (46 patients) and external test set(58 patients).

Agranulocytosis is an extremely rare but potentially fatal immune-related adverse event (irAE) induced by immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Its management, particularly following combination therapies such as durvalumab/tremelimumab (Dur/Tre) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), is challenging owing to limited data. We herein report a 79-year-old man with HCC who developed severe Dur/Tre-induced agranulocytosis that was refractory to granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, high-dose corticosteroids, and intravenous immunoglobulin.

Introduction: Combined vascular endothelial growth factor/programmed death-ligand 1 blockade through atezolizumab/bevacizumab (A/B) is the current standard of care in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A/B substantially improved objective response rates compared with tyrosine kinase inhibitor sorafenib; however, a majority of patients will still not respond to A/B. Strong scientific rationale and emerging clinical data suggest that faecal microbiota transfer (FMT) may improve antitumour immune response on PD-(L)1 blockade.
