    Abstract Actinic keratosis is a pre-malignant skin disease caused by excessive exposure to ultraviolet light. The present studies further defined the biology of a novel combination of isovanillin, curcumin, and harmine in actinic keratosis cells in vitro . An oral formulation (GZ17-6.02) and topical preparation (GZ21T) comprised of the same fixed, stoichiometric ratio have been developed. Together, the three active ingredients killed actinic keratosis cells more effectively than any of its component parts as either individual agents or when combined in pairs. The three active ingredients caused greater levels of DNA damage than any of its component parts as either individual agents or when combined in pairs. As a single agent, compared to isolated components, GZ17-6.02/GZ21T caused significantly greater activation of PKR-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase, the AMP-dependent protein kinase, and ULK1 and significantly reduced the activities of mTORC1, AKT, and YAP. Knockdown of the autophagy-regulatory proteins ULK1, Beclin1, or ATG5 significantly reduced the lethality of GZ17-6.02/GZ21T alone. Expression of an activated mammalian target of rapamycin mutant suppressed autophagosome formation and autophagic flux and reduced tumor cell killing. Blockade of both autophagy and death receptor signaling abolished drug-induced actinic keratosis cell death. Our data demonstrate that the unique combination of isovanillin, curcumin, and harmine represents a novel therapeutic with the potential to treat actinic keratosis in a manner different from the individual components or pairs of the components.

    Abstract Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). Despite having a wide variety of therapeutic agents available for the treatment of MF, patients often suffer from a significant decrease in quality of life and rarely achieve long-term remission or complete cure, highlighting a need to develop novel therapeutic agents for this disease. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of a novel anti-tumor agent, GZ17-6.02, which is composed of curcumin, harmine, and isovanillin, against MF in vitro and in murine models. Treatment of HH and MyLa cells with GZ17-6.02 inhibited the growth of both cell lines with IC50 ± standard errors for growth inhibition of 14.37 ± 1.19 µg/mL and 14.56 ± 1.35 µg/mL, respectively, and increased the percentage of cells in late apoptosis (p = .0304 for HH; p = .0301 for MyLa). Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses revealed that GZ17-6.02 suppressed several pathways, including tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-ɑ signaling via nuclear factor (NF)-kB, mammalian target of rapamycin complex (mTORC)1, and Pi3K/Akt/mTOR signaling. In a subcutaneous tumor model, GZ17-6.02 decreased tumor volume (p = .002) and weight (p = .009) compared to control conditions. Proteomic analysis of tumor samples showed that GZ17-6.02 suppressed the expression of several proteins that may promote CTCL growth, including mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)1, MAPK3, Growth factor receptor bound protein (GRB)2, and Mediator of RAP80 interactions and targeting subunit of 40 kDa (MERIT)40.

    Abstract Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) and is characterized by epidermotrophism of malignant CD4+ T-lymphocytes. When MF advances to a recurrent stage, patients require treatment with systemic therapies such as vorinostat, a histone deacetylase inhibitor. While vorinostat has been shown to exhibit anti-tumor activity in MF, its exact molecular mechanism has yet to be fully discerned. In the present study, we examined the transcriptomic and proteomic profiles of vorinostat treatment in two MF cell lines, Myla 2059 and HH. We find that vorinostat downregulates CTLA-4, CXCR4, and CCR7 in both cell lines, but its effect on several key pathways differs between the two MF cell lines. For example, vorinostat upregulates CCL5, CCR5, and CXCL10 expression in Myla cells but downregulates CCL5 and CXCL10 expression in HH cells. Furthermore, vorinostat upregulates IFN-γ and IL-23 signaling and downregulates IL-6, IL-7, and IL-15 signaling in Myla cells but does not affect these pathways in HH cells. Although Myla and HH represent established MF cell lines, their distinct tumor origin from separate patients demonstrates that inherent phenotypic variations within the disease persist, underscoring the importance of using a variety of MF cells in the preclinical development of MF therapeutics.

    Abstract Actinic keratoses (AKs) are premalignant intraepidermal neoplasms that occur as a result of cumulative sun damage. AKs commonly relapse, and up to 16% undergo malignant transformation into cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. There is a need for novel therapies that reduce the quantity and surface area of AKs as well as prevent malignant transformation to cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas. We recently showed that GZ17-6.02, an anticancer agent composed of curcumin, haramine, and isovanillin, inhibited the growth of H297.T cells. This study evaluated the efficacy of a topical formulation of GZ17-6.02, known as GZ21T, in a murine model of AK generated by exposing SKH1 mice to UVR

    Abstract UV irradiation is commonly used in murine models of skin cancers. Despite the popularity of using UVB rays to model photocarcinogenesis in animals, there is a lack of standardization in the secondary enclosures used to administer radiation. An appraisal of the literature also shows a general lack of details regarding the materials and procedures utilized in the fabrication of such enclosures. We present in this study a detailed overview of the construction of a UVB exposure chamber that successfully induces lesions in hairless mice. A standardized protocol for producing a UVB enclosure may reduce methodological variation in future studies seeking to investigate photocarcinogenesis in animals.

    Abstract Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) is amplified in over 50% of glioblastomas and promotes tumor formation and progression. However, attempts to treat glioblastoma with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors have been unsuccessful thus far. The current standard of care is especially poor in patients with a constitutively active form of EGFR, EGFRvIII, which is associated with shorter survival time. This study examined the effect of GZ17-6.02, a novel anti-cancer agent undergoing phase 1 studies, on two EGFRvIII+ glioblastoma stem cells: D10-0171 and D317. In vitro analyses showed that GZ17-6.02 inhibited the growth of both D10-0171 and D317 cells with IC

    Abstract Physicians are trending towards practice consolidation nationally; however, changes in dermatology practice size remain to be assessed. The objective of this study was to analyze trends in dermatology practice size from 2012 to 2020 using a large-scale Medicare physician database. We performed a retrospective cross-sectional analysis using 2012 and 2020 data obtained from the Physician Compare Database. Responses from dermatologists were analyzed for trends in practice size, with a sub-analysis to examine differences among different regions, gender, and years of experience. The proportion of dermatologists in solo practice decreased from 26.1% in 2012 to 15.6% in 2020 (p < 0.001). Dermatologists were 40% less likely to be practicing in solo practice and 36% more likely to be in a practice with 10 or more members in 2020 (p < 0.001). These findings were consistent among all regions and genders examined. Additionally, in 2020, dermatologists with 30 or more years in practice were 7.5 times more likely to be in solo practice compared to dermatologists with 0-9 years in practice (p < 0.001). There is a trend of dermatologists working for larger practices, which is consistent with a larger nationwide trend of expanding physician practices. This shift in practice settings should be closely monitored to analyze the effect on healthcare efficiency, cost, and delivery.
