IUBMB JOURNALS

  • Toll‐like receptors (TLRs) in cancer; with an extensive focus on TLR agonists and antagonistsThe ability of Toll‐like receptors (TLRs) in distinguishing “self” and “non‐self” antigens is a cornerstone in the innate immunity system; however, their misregulation links inflammatory responses to the development of a wide range of human cancers. Generally, while chronic low‐grade TLR activation favors a tumor‐promoting state, high‐dose TLR activation induces antitumor responses. This issue sheds light on the controversial role of these receptors in human cancers as double‐edged swords, and further highlights the therapeutic efficacy of both TLR agonists and antagonists in cancer treatment strategies.


 

  • Effects of different autophagy inhibitors on sensitizing KG‐1 and HL‐60 leukemia cells to chemotherapyAutophagy, a highly‐conserved catabolic process that is responsible for maintaining cell survival and homeostasis under different stressful conditions, is critically involved during chemotherapy with anti‐leukemic drugs, including arsenic trioxide (ATO) and/or all‐trans retinoic acid (ATRA). The blockade of autophagy flux at the late stages, especially with the lysosome inhibitor of hydroxyquinoline, rather than its total blockade using the early upstream inhibitor of 3‐Methyladenine, markedly potentiates anti‐leukemic and apoptotic effects of ATO/ATRA in KG1 leukemic stem‐like cells but not HL‐60 cells. The autophagy manipulation may enhance the effectiveness of chemotherapy in leukemia cells in a cell‐ and context‐dependent manner.
