TL;DR

Silencing SLC2A3 reduces the malignant phenotypes of irradiated NPC cells and enhances NPC cell radiosensitivity, partly in association with reduced MAPK pathway activation.

Abstract

Highlights • Silencing SLC2A3 reduces the malignant phenotypes of irradiated NPC cells.• SLC2A3 knockdown decreases tumorigenicity in irradiated NPC xenograft-bearing mice.• SLC2A3 knockdown enhances NPC cell radiosensitivity, partly in association with reduced MAPK pathway activation.

Matrine Suppresses Osteosarcoma Lung Metastasis by Targeting the PI3K/AKT Signaling Pathway to Induce Mitochondrial Dysfunction

Simple Summary Osteosarcoma survival drops to ~20% after lung metastasis, highlighting the need for new therapies. This study shows that matrine, a natural compound from Sophora flavescens, suppresses osteosarcoma growth and lung metastasis in vitro and in vivo by directly inhibiting PI3K/AKT signaling, thereby inducin...

Dysregulated AKT signaling reprograms osteosarcoma to drive selective reliance on EP300

Here, Delahunty et al. identify that EP300 controls the growth of AKT-dysregulated osteosarcoma cells by regulating expression of state-specific genetic dependencies. AKT inhibitors synergize with EP300 degraders to suppress osteosarcoma growth in vitro and in vivo. These agents positively combine across cancer cells i...
