Cancer Stem Cells
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are populations of cancer cells that have the properties of stem cells i.e. self-renewal and ability to generate differentiated progenies. CSCs have high plasticity, which changes their phenotypic and functional appearance. They have important roles in tumor development, expansion, resistance, relapse and metastasis. Multiple studies have shown that CSCs originate from non-malignant stem or progenitor cells. Inhibition of developmental signaling pathways that are critical for stem and progenitor cell homeostasis and function has important implications in strategies to target CSCs in cancer research.
Studies have shown that CSCs develop several mechanisms to protect themselves from toxins and genotoxic stress, including enhanced DNA damage repair capacity, increased expression of drug transporters, maintenance of a low reactive oxygen species (ROS) environment, and recruitment of a protective niche. Therefore, targeting signaling pathways that are required to maintain stem cells is the current therapeutic strategy for CSCs. For example, hedgehog pathway, Notch and Wnt signaling pathways.
Newly developed drugs targeting surface markers of CSCs opens the new avenues for cancer therapy, such as CD44, CD133, EpCAM, Sox2, and Oct-3/4.

WS3
0 ImagesWS3 is an allosteric inhibitor of 14-3-3 (14-3-3ζ: Kd = 2.29 μM). WS3 activates GSK3β by disrupting the binding of 14-3-3-pGSK3β, promotes the ubiquitination and degradation of NRF2, and inhibits the NRF2-ARE signaling pathway (IC50 = 135 nM). It exerts antioxidant inhibition and chemotherapeutic/ferroptosis sensitizing effects in tumors with hyperactivated NRF2. WS3 binds to EBP1/IKKε and promotes the proliferation of β cells and retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells, which can be applied to islet regeneration and RPE expansion transplantation. WS3 is applicable to research related to age-related macular degeneration, retinal degeneration and non-small cell lung cancer.

Mocravimod hydrochloride
0 ImagesSynonyms: KRP-203Mocravimod (hydrochloride) is an orally active sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor (S1PR) modulator that blocks the signal required by T cells to egress from lymph nodes and other lymphoid organs. Mocravimod (hydrochloride) preferentially binds to S1PR1 over S1PR2 and S1PR3 in cardiomyocytes. Mocravimod (hydrochloride) significantly lowered the concentration of reactive oxygen species (ROS), prevented mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening, boosted mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and increased phosphorylation of AKT, EKR, GSK-3β, JAK2, and STAT3. Mocravimod (hydrochloride) retains T cell effector function. Mocravimod (hydrochloride) can be used for the study of acute myelogenous leukemia, diabetes and Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury (MIRI).
