    Abstract Bone is a frequent site of metastasis from several organs and a host for cancer cells that have originated from the bone marrow itself. Skeletal malignancies are extremely difficult to treat. This is largely due to the complex, heterogenous nature of the bone marrow microenvironment and the dynamic interplay between the tumor cells and multiple cell types within the marrow niche. One cell type whose dominant role in supporting tumor progression and therapy evasion is being increasingly recognized are bone marrow adipocytes (BMAs). BMAs are metabolically active endocrine cells that supply lipids, hormones and adipocytokines to the neighboring cells. Their numbers in bone marrow increase with age, obesity and in response to certain treatments and metabolic conditions. BMAs have been shown to directly promote tumor growth through a transfer of lipids, upregulation of lipid transporters, modulation of tumor metabolism and activation of adaptive stress mechanisms in the cancer cells to promote survival. Less is known, however, regarding how adipocyte interactions with other cell types in the bone tumor microenvironment support malignant progression. This review summarizes recent findings on the crosstalk between BMAs and immune cells in bone. We focus specifically on how adipocyte-mediated changes in the immune milieu impact the tumor cell survival and therapy response. We also discuss how adipocyte-immune cell interactions alter bone homeostasis to support malignant progression in a context of current therapeutic strategies for skeletal malignancies.

    Abstract Introduction: Walking training is a good alternative to the commonly used cycle ergometer training. It is still necessary to develop rehabilitation programs based on walking characterized by a high degree of safety and effectiveness.
    Aim: Application of continuous walking training as an alternative to interval cycle ergometer training in men after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, using the 6-minute walk test (6-MWT) to determine the initial training load.
    Material and methods: Forty-four men aged 45 to 76 years, up to 3 months after CABG surgery, were randomly assigned to continuous training on a treadmill (study group) or interval training on a cycle ergometer (control group), performed 6 times per week (12-15 sessions). Participants underwent the treadmill exercise stress test (TEST) and 6-MWT at the begining and after completion of the rehabilitation program. Before and 3 minutes after the 6
    Results: Energy expenditure in TEST increased from 4.4 to 6.3 MET in the study group and from 5.0 to 6.5 MET in the control group. Distance walked in 6-MWT increased from 420 to 519 m and from 438 to 510 m, respectively. Resting heart rate (HR) and double product (DP) decreased only in the study group as well as systolic blood pressure (SBP), HR and DP at peak exercise load in baseline TEST. Mean energy expenditure during training sessions was 2.6 MET in the study group and 2.8 MET in the control group (NS). Exercise blood lactate concentration did not exceed 2.0 mmol/l in both groups.
    Conclusions: Both rehabilitation programs were of similar effectiveness and their intensity did not exceed the anaerobic threshold.

    Abstract Introduction: It is unclear whether it is possible to determine the training load on the basis of the 6-minute walk test (6-MWT) in patients after cardiac surgery with low tolerance of physical exercise.
    Aim: Use of the 6-MWT to determine an individual initial training load in walking training on a treadmill in the early phase of cardiac rehabilitation in men after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
    Material and methods: Twenty-two men aged 54 to 74 years, up to 3 months after CABG surgery participated in walking training on a treadmill (12-15 sessions). Patients underwent the initial and final treadmill exercise stress test (TEST) and the 6-MWT. Based on 6-MWT results, the initial training load was prescribed. Before the 6-MWT and 3 minutes after its completion, lactate concentration was determined.
    Results: The 6-MWT distance increased from 420 ±80 m to 519 ±61 m (
    Conclusions: The 6-MWT can be used in exercise intensity prescription, especially for determining the individual initial training load, load progression, as well as its correction during follow-up tests.

    Abstract Dysregulated cathepsin activity is linked to various human diseases including metabolic disorders, autoimmune conditions, and cancer. Given the overexpression of cathepsin in the tumor microenvironment, cathepsin inhibitors are promising pharmacological agents and drug delivery vehicles for cancer treatment. In this study, we describe the synthesis and photochemical and biological assessment of a dual-action agent based on ruthenium that is conjugated with a cathepsin inhibitor, designed for both photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photochemotherapy (PCT). The ruthenium-cathepsin inhibitor conjugate was synthesized through an oxime click reaction, combining a pan-cathepsin inhibitor based on E64d with the Ru(II) PCT/PDT fragment [Ru(dqpy)(dppn)], where dqpy = 2,6-di(quinoline-2-yl)pyridine and dppn = benzo[i]dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine. Photochemical investigations validated the conjugate's ability to release a triazole-containing cathepsin inhibitor for PCT and to generate singlet oxygen for PDT upon exposure to green light. Inhibition studies demonstrated the conjugate's potent and irreversible inactivation of purified and intracellular cysteine cathepsins. Two Ru(II) PCT/PDT agents based on the [Ru(dqpy)(dppn)] moiety were evaluated for photoinduced cytotoxicity in 4T1 murine triple-negative breast cancer cells, L929 fibroblasts, and M0, M1, and M2 macrophages. The cathepsin inhibitor conjugate displayed notable selectivity for inducing cell death under irradiation compared to dark conditions, mitigating toxicity in the dark observed with the triazole control complex [Ru(dqpy)(dppn)(MeTz)]

    Abstract Monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) play a pivotal role in maintaining endoplasmic reticulum (ER) homeostasis, an emerging hallmark of cancer. However, the role of polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFAs) desaturation in persistent ER stress driven by oncogenic abnormalities remains elusive. Fatty Acid Desaturase 1 (FADS1) is a rate-limiting enzyme controlling the bioproduction of long-chain PUFAs. Our previous research has demonstrated the significant role of FADS1 in cancer survival, especially in kidney cancers. We explored the underlying mechanism in this study. We found that pharmacological inhibition or knockdown of the expression of FADS1 effectively inhibits renal cancer cell proliferation and induces cell cycle arrest. The stable knockdown of FADS1 also significantly inhibits tumor formation

    Abstract Background: Bone is the most common site of metastases in men with prostate cancer. The objective of this study was to explore potential racial differences in the distribution of tumor metastases in the axial and appendicular skeleton.
    Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of patients with metastatic prostate cancer to the bone as detected by
    Results: Forty men met the inclusion criteria with 17 (42%) identifying as African Americans and 23 (58%) identifying as non-African Americans. Most of the patients had axial (skull, ribcage, and spine) disease. The location and the number of lesions in the skeleton of metastatic prostate cancer patients with low disease burden were not different by race.
    Conclusions: In low-disease burden patients with metastatic prostate cancer, there were no overall differences by race in the location and number of lesions in axial or appendicular skeleton. Therefore, given equal access to molecular imaging, African Americans might derive similar benefits. Whether this holds true for patients with a higher disease burden or for other molecular imaging techniques is a topic for further study.

    Abstract Background: Until fairly recently, cathepsin K was recognized solely as a bone-resorbing enzyme expressed selectively in the osteoclast. Evidence of its requirement for normal bone remodeling has resulted in this protease receiving considerable attention from the pharmaceutical industry. In the last decade, intense research efforts were aimed at development of cathepsin K inhibitors for treatment of osteoporosis and other skeletal disorders associated with pathological bone loss. Emerging new evidence suggests that in addition to bone resorption, cathepsin K is involved in the turnover of extracellular matrix proteins in organs, such as the lung, thyroid and skin, and plays important roles in cardiovascular disease, inflammation and obesity.
    Discussion: This review highlights the physiological and pathophysiological implications of this potent protease, with a focus on recent developments in the design and use of cathepsin K inhibitors to target skeletal pathologies. Therapeutic implications of anticathepsin K drugs in the context of common links between bone disease and atherosclerosis are also discussed.
    Conclusion: The association of cathepsin K with skeletal and cardiovascular disorders offers intriguing future applications for inhibitors of this potent protease.
