Erastin, as a classical inducer of ferroptosis, can suppress the transcriptional activities of both the full‑length and splice variants in AR models in vitro and in vivo. In addition, when erastin was used for CRPC treatment combined with docetaxel, the growth inhibitory efficacy of docetaxel was found to be enhanced. Thus, these findings indicated that ferroptosis inducer erastin has potential in the treatment of CRPC via targeting AR.Diffuse large B‑cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a highly heterogeneous malignant tumor type, and epigenetic modifications such as acetylation or deacetylation serve vital roles in its development. Chidamide, a novel histone deacetylase inhibitor, exerts an anticancer effect against various types of cancer. The present study aimed to evaluate the cellular effect of chidamide on a number of DLBCL cell lines and to investigate its underlying mechanism. The results demonstrated that chidamide induced the death of these cells in a concentration‑(0‑30 µmol/l) and time‑dependent (24‑72 h) manner, as determined using the Cell Counting Kit‑8 cell viability assay. Moreover, chidamide promoted cellular apoptosis, which was identified via flow cytometry and western blot analysis, with an increase in cleaved caspase‑3 expression and a decrease in Bcl‑2 expression. Chidamide treatment also decreased the expression level of STAT3 and its phosphorylation, which was accompanied by the downregulation of a class‑I histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, chidamide. Collectively, these data suggested that chidamide can be a potent therapeutic agent to treat DLBCL by inducing the apoptotic death of DLBCL cells by inhibiting the HDACs/STAT3/Bcl‑2 pathway.Fluorouracil (5FU) is converted to its active metabolite fluoro‑deoxyuridine monophosphate (FdUMP) through the orotate phosphoribosyl transferase (OPRT)‑ribonucleotide reductase (RR) pathway and thymidine phosphatase (TP)‑thymidine kinase (TK) pathway and inhibits thymidylate synthase (TS), leading to inhibition of thymidine monophosphate (dTMP) synthesis through a de novo pathway. We investigated the mechanism of 5FU resistance and strategies to overcome it by focusing on 5FU metabolism. Colon cancer cell lines SW48 and LS174T and 5FU‑resistant cell lines SW48/5FUR and LS174T/5FUR were used. FdUMP amount was measured by western blotting. The FdUMP synthetic pathway was investigated by combining TP inhibitor (tipiracil hydrochloride; TPI) or RR inhibitor (hydroxyurea; HU) with 5FU. Drug cytotoxicity was observed by crystal violet staining assay. FdUMP was synthesized through the OPRT‑RR pathway in SW48 cells but was scarcely synthesized through either the OPRT‑RR or TP‑TK pathway in SW48/5FUR cells. FdUMP amoeach cell line. Both synthesized FdUMP amount and FdUMP sensitivity should be considered in 5FU‑resistant cells.N6‑methyladenosine (m6A) is one of the most prevalent post‑transcriptional RNA modifications. The enzymes involved in the regulation of m6A include methyltransferase (writers), demethylase (erasers) and m6A recognition proteins (readers). Accumulating studies have demonstrated that m6A modifications have a distinct effect on various biological processes, including tumorigenesis, cell differentiation, embryonic development and neurogenic diseases, while our knowledge of the specific mechanism underlying m6A methylation in various cancer types is still limited. Various signaling pathways have an effect on tumorigenesis, invasion and apoptosis of malignant tumors. The present review summarizes the recent progress in research regarding the role of m6A in human cancer and discusses the influence of m6A on classic signaling pathways in malignant tumors.Tumor metastasis is a destructive characteristic of malignant tumors and the fundamental reason why malignant tumors are difficult to cure. The concept of a pre‑metastatic niche (PMN) provides a novel way to elucidate the molecular mechanism of tumor metastasis. At present, the PMN has been considered as a critical determinant priming distal sites for metastasis. Accumulating evidence has suggested that exosomes are cellular communicators serving a pivotal role in mediating tumor cell metastasis by establishing the PMN. Among exosomal cargos, non‑coding RNAs and proteins are two commonly studied components; however, the latter has received less attention. The present review aimed to summarize the findings regarding cargo proteins selectively loaded in malignant tumor‑derived exosomes. Metastasis‑associated proteins have been demonstrated to be selectively enriched in malignant tumor‑derived exosomes. Exosomal proteins promote PMN formation to mediate the site‑specific metastasis of tumor cells by inducing lymphangiogenesis, angiogenesis and permeability, educating stromal cells, remodeling the extracellular matrix, and suppressing the antitumor immune response. These exosomal proteins have great potential in predicting organ‑directed metastasis and prognosis, as well as in cancer therapy.Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells‑1 (TREM1) is a cell‑surface protein expressed on tumor‑associated macrophages (TAMs), the predominant inflammatory cells in the tumor microenvironment; however, the mechanisms for the influence of TREM1 on TAM polarization during liver cancer progression have not been investigated. In the present study, 20 patients diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who underwent surgery were enrolled, and TREM1 expression on M1/M2 macrophages and on M2 macrophages was assessed by immunohistochemical staining. Human leukemia monocytic cells (THP‑1) were differentiated into M2 macrophages using phorbol 12‑myristate 13‑acetate, IL‑4 and IL‑13. A specific short hairpin RNA was used to knockdown TREM1 expression. Dacinostat To investigate the effects of TREM1 downregulation in macrophages on the migration and invasion of liver cancer cells, HepG2 and MHCC97H cell lines were co‑cultured with specific conditioned media. Reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR and western blot analyses wT signaling. In addition, migration and invasion of HepG2 and MHCC97H cells were inhibited when this signaling pathway was blocked. The present findings suggest TREM1 as a novel potential therapeutic target for liver cancer management.
