    Abstract In this paper, we investigate the structural and biological features of G-quadruplex (G4) aptamers as promising antiproliferative compounds affecting the STAT3 signalling pathway. Targeting the STAT3 protein through high-affinity ligands to reduce its levels or activity in cancer has noteworthy therapeutic potential. T40214 (

    Abstract Thrombin-binding aptamer (TBA) is one of the best-known G-quadruplex (G4)-forming aptamers. By adopting its peculiar chair-like G4 structure, TBA can efficiently bind to thrombin, thus producing an anticoagulant effect. The major limit to its therapeutic application is represented by its poor thermal and biological resistance. Therefore, numerous research studies have been focused on the design of TBA analogues with chemical modifications to improve its pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties. To maintain the functional recognition to protein surface on which TBA anticoagulant activity depends, it is essential to preserve the canonical antiparallel topology of the TBA quadruplex core. In this paper, we have designed three TBA variants with modified G-tetrads to evaluate the effects of nucleobase and sugar moiety chemical modifications on biological properties of TBA, preserving its chair-like G-quadruplex structure. All derivatives contain 8-bromo-2'-deoxyguanosine (G

    Abstract Breast cancer is the most frequent form of cancer occurring in women of any age. Among the different types, the triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) subtype is recognized as the most severe form, being associated with the highest mortality rate. Currently, there are no effective treatments for TNBC. For this reason, the research of novel therapeutics is urgently needed. Natural products and their analogs have historically made a major contribution to pharmacotherapy and the treatment of various human diseases, including cancer. In this study, we explored the potential anti-cancer effects of erucin, the most abundant H

    Abstract This study investigates the inflammatory response to intra-plantar injection of L-cysteine in a murine model. L-cysteine induces a two-phase response: an early phase lasting 6 h and a late phase peaking at 24 h and declining by 192 h. The early phase shows increased neutrophil accumulation at 2 h up to 24 h, followed by a reduction at 48 h. On the other hand, the late phase exhibits increased macrophage infiltration peaking at 96 h. Inhibition of cystathionine β-synthase (CBS), the first enzyme in the transsulfuration pathway, significantly reduces L-cysteine-induced edema, suggesting its dependence on CBS-derived hydrogen sulfide (H

    Abstract One of the hallmarks of COVID-19 is the cytokine storm that provokes primarily pneumonia followed by systemic inflammation. Emerging evidence has identified a potential link between elevated interleukin-17A (IL-17A) levels and disease severity and progression. Considering that per se, IL-17A can activate several inflammatory pathways, it is plausible to hypothesize an involvement of this cytokine in COVID-19 clinical outcomes. Thus, IL-17A could represent a marker of disease progression and/or a target to develop therapeutic strategies. This hypothesis paper aims to propose this "unique" cytokine as a silent amplifier of the COVID-19 immune response and (potentially) related therapy.
