Abstract
Lymphoid malignancies are complex diseases with distinct biological behaviors, clinical presentations, and treatment responses. Ongoing research and advancements in biotechnology enhance the understanding and management of these malignancies, moving towards more personalized approaches for diagnosis and treatment. Nanotechnology has emerged as a promising tool to improve some limitations of conventional diagnostics as well as treatment strategies for lymphoid malignancies. Nanoparticles (NPs) offer unique advantages such as enhanced multimodal detection, drug delivery, and targeted therapy capabilities, with the potential to improve precision medicine and patient outcomes. Here, we comprehensively examine the current landscape of nanoconstructs applied in the management of lymphoid disease. Through a comprehensive analysis of preclinical studies, we highlight the translational potential of NPs in revolutionizing the field of hematological malignancies, with a specific focus on lymphoid neoplasms.

Genetic variation in NOTCH1 is associated with overweight and obesity in Brazilian elderly. Sci Rep 2024; 14:17096. [PMID: 39048597 PMCID: PMC11269636 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-65771-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2023] [Accepted: 06/24/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Excessive weight (overweight and obesity) is a common disorder involving genetic and environmental factors, associated with cardiovascular diseases, type-2 diabetes, and others. NOTCH1 is critical for the maintenance of stem cells and adult tissues, being reported as a key player in metabolism and adipogenesis in animals. Thus, we test the hypothesis that NOTCH1 Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are associated with excessive weight. Participants from the census-based cohort SABE (Saúde, Bem Estar e Envelhecimento-Health, Well-Being, and Aging), carried out in the city of São Paulo-Brazil, were stratified into cases and controls according to BMI. We filter the SNPs located at the start and end positions of NOTCH1 and 50 Kb on both sides. We selected SNPs with minor allelic frequency (MAF) greater than or equal to 0.01 and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (p > 0.05) and r2 ≥ 0.8. We performed an association study with genotypes and haplotypes, as well as in silico functional analysis of the identified SNPs. We observed an association of the SNP rs9411207 with the risk of excessive weight, under log-additive model, and the genotype distribution showed an increased frequency of homozygous TT (OR 1.50, CI 1.20-1.88; p = 0.0002). The haplotype GAT constructed from this and other SNPs in high Linkage Disequilibrium was more frequent in excessive-weight individuals (p = 0.003). In silico analyses suggested that these SNPs are likely to affect the transcription of NOTCH1 and other genes involved in adipogenesis and metabolism. This is the first study reporting association between NOTCH1 SNPs and the risk of excessive weight. Considering the possibility of NOTCH1 modulation, additional population studies are important to replicate these data and confirm the usefulness of risk genotypes for management strategies of excessive weight.

Shidoji Y. Induction of Hepatoma Cell Pyroptosis by Endogenous Lipid Geranylgeranoic Acid-A Comparison with Palmitic Acid and Retinoic Acid. Cells 2024; 13:809. [PMID: 38786033 PMCID: PMC11119665 DOI: 10.3390/cells13100809] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2024] [Revised: 05/05/2024] [Accepted: 05/07/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Research on retinoid-based cancer prevention, spurred by the effects of vitamin A deficiency on gastric cancer and subsequent clinical studies on digestive tract cancer, unveils novel avenues for chemoprevention. Acyclic retinoids like 4,5-didehydrogeranylgeranoic acid (4,5-didehydroGGA) have emerged as potent agents against hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), distinct from natural retinoids such as all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA). Mechanistic studies reveal GGA's unique induction of pyroptosis, a rapid cell death pathway, in HCC cells. GGA triggers mitochondrial superoxide hyperproduction and ER stress responses through Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling and modulates autophagy, ultimately activating pyroptotic cell death in HCC cells. Unlike ATRA-induced apoptosis, GGA and palmitic acid (PA) induce pyroptosis, underscoring their distinct mechanisms. While all three fatty acids evoke mitochondrial dysfunction and ER stress responses, GGA and PA inhibit autophagy, leading to incomplete autophagic responses and pyroptosis, whereas ATRA promotes autophagic flux. In vivo experiments demonstrate GGA's potential as an anti-oncometabolite, inducing cell death selectively in tumor cells and thus suppressing liver cancer development. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the molecular mechanisms underlying GGA's anti-HCC effects and underscores its promising role in cancer prevention, highlighting its importance in HCC prevention.

Abstract
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is still an incurable disease, with many patients developing resistance to conventional and targeted therapies. To better understand the physiology of CLL and facilitate the development of innovative treatment options, we examined specific metabolic features in the tumor CLL B-lymphocytes. We observed metabolic reprogramming, characterized by a high level of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation activity, a low glycolytic rate, and the presence of C2- to C6-carnitine end-products revealing an unexpected, essential role for peroxisomal fatty acid beta-oxidation (pFAO). Accordingly, downmodulation of ACOX1 (a rate-limiting pFAO enzyme overexpressed in CLL cells) was enough to shift the CLL cells' metabolism from lipids to a carbon- and amino-acid-based phenotype. Complete blockade of ACOX1 resulted in lipid droplet accumulation and caspase-dependent death in CLL cells, including those from individuals with poor cytogenetic and clinical prognostic factors. In a therapeutic translational approach, ACOX1 inhibition spared non-tumor blood cells from CLL patients but led to the death of circulating, BCR-stimulated CLL B-lymphocytes and CLL B-cells receiving pro-survival stromal signals. Furthermore, a combination of ACOX1 and BTK inhibitors had a synergistic killing effect. Overall, our results highlight a less-studied but essential metabolic pathway in CLL and pave the way towards the development of new, metabolism-based treatment options.
