Protein-tyrosine phosphatase-2 (SHP-2) has become a new target in the study of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Currently, there are no marketed drugs targeting SHP-2 to study T2DM caused by insulin resistance. Therefore, this study screened out SHP-2 inhibitors with potential inhibitory activity from 2 million compounds, combined with ADME/T, Lipinski &Veber rules, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation. It is understood that the mechanism of action to inhibit the activity of SHP-2 protein by compounds is mainly protein amino acid residues PHE-113, GLU-250, LEU-254, GLN-257, PRO-491, and GLN-495 bind to ligands to produce stable conformation. Finally, a series of in vitro preliminary evaluation experiments were conducted to verify the primary activity of the lead compounds. It provides a meaningful reference for the future study of SHP-2 inhibitors with better efficacy, safety, drug-like, bioavailability and drug resistance.

Objective: To investigate the effects of Siglec-5 on hepatocellular carcinoma and the mechanism of action. The interactions and expression changes between Siglec-5 and Siglec-14 not only affect immune cell function, but may also influence tumor progression. A deeper understanding of the mechanisms regulating their balance could provide new insights and strategies for hepatocellular carcinoma treatment.

Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is a rare but highly aggressive malignancy with dismal prognosis. Standard radiotherapy and chemotherapy offer limited efficacy, and emerging treatments, including multi-kinase inhibitors, often result in the development of adaptive drug resistance. Recent studies suggest that targeting SHP2 (PTPN11), a non-receptor tyrosine phosphatase involved in RAS/MAPK signaling, may offer a promising therapeutic strategy for tumors featuring activation of this pathway, including ATC.

SHP2, an oncogenic phosphatase pivotal in RAS-MAPK, PI3K-AKT, and JAK-STAT signaling, represents a compelling therapeutic target in malignancies driven by its hyperactivation. While allosteric inhibitors like SHP099 have overcome historical challenges of orthosteric agents by stabilizing SHP2's autoinhibited conformation, opportunities remain to enhance potency, selectivity, and clinical utility. Here, we report a structure-guided expansion strategy leveraging detailed profiling of the tunnel-shaped allosteric pocket to design next-generation inhibitors.

Mutations that activate the small GTPase KRAS are a frequent genetic alteration in cancer, and drug discovery efforts have led to inhibitors that block KRAS activity. We sought to better understand oncogenic KRAS signaling and the cytostatic effects of drugs that target this system. We performed proteomic analyses to investigate changes in protein abundance and posttranslational modifications in inhibitor-treated human KRAS-mutant pancreatic (KRAS G12C and G12D) and lung cancer (KRAS G12C) cells.
