    Abstract Background/aim: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is a slowly-progressing disease in which symptoms often do not manifest until years after disease onset. In advanced stages, infection and bleeding are common. Past studies have shown that the interaction between CDK4/6 inhibitors and chemotherapy drugs can enhance the anti-tumor efficacy of drugs and limit toxicity. Therefore, in this study, the treatment effects of combining the CDK4/6 inhibitor LEE011 with chemotherapy drugs bendamustine or hydroxyurea were investigated in vitro.
    Materials and methods: The mouse lymphocytic leukemia cell line L1210 was treated with LEE011 combined with hydroxyurea or bendamustine. Western blot and flow cytometry were performed to elucidate the mechanisms behind tumor suppression.
    Results: LEE011 combined with hydroxyurea or bendamustine significantly inhibited proliferation of L1210 cell lines in a concentration- and time-dependent manner as well as increased the arrest of cells in G
    Conclusion: CDK4/6 inhibitor LEE011 treatment alone may not be a suitable treatment option for lymphocytic leukemia; however, our findings in vitro support the combination of LEE011 with chemotherapy drugs to enhance anti-tumor activity in lymphocytic leukemia.

    Abstract Background: Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, and effective therapies are limited. Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide with limited effective therapy. Sorafenib is a multi-tyrosine kinase inhibitor frequently used to treat numerous types of malignant tumors. However, it has been demonstrated that sorafenib showed moderate antitumor activity and is associated with several side effects in lung cancer, which restricted its clinical application. This study aimed to examine the antitumor effect of the combination treatment of sorafenib and 5-methoxytryptophan (5-MTP) on cell growth and metastasis of Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells.
    Method: The anticancer effect of the combination treatment of sorafenib and 5-MTP was determined through cytotoxicity assay and colony forming assays. The mechanism was elucidated using flow cytometry and western blotting. Wound healing and Transwell assays were conducted to evaluate the impact of the combination treatment on migration and invasion abilities. An in vivo model was employed to analyze the effect of the combination treatment on the tumorigenic ability of LLC cells.
    Result: Our results demonstrated that the sorafenib and 5-MTP combination synergistically reduced viability and proliferation compared to sorafenib or 5-MTP treatment alone. Reduction of cyclin D1 expression was observed in the sorafenib alone or combination treatments, leading to cell cycle arrest. Furthermore, the sorafenib-5-MTP combination significantly increased the inhibitory effect on migration and invasion of LLC cells compared to the single treatments. The combination also significantly downregulated vimentin and MMP9 levels, contributing to the inhibition of metastasis. The reduction of phosphorylated Akt and STAT3 expression may further contribute to the inhibitory effect on proliferation and metastasis. In vivo, the sorafenib-5-MTP combination further reduced tumor growth and metastasis compared to the treatment of sorafenib alone.
    Conclusions: In conclusion, our data indicate that 5-MTP sensitizes the antitumor activity of sorafenib in LLC cells in vitro and in vivo, suggesting that sorafenib-5-MTP has the potential to serve as a therapeutic option for patients with lung cancer.

    Abstract Background/aim: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies and cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. The combination of chemotherapeutics working with different mechanisms enhances the therapeutic effects and delays the development of resistance. This study investigated the anticancer effect of the combination of ribociclib (LEE011) and irinotecan (SN38) on CRC cells.
    Materials and methods: HT-29 and SW480 cells were treated with LEE011, SN38, or the combination of LEE011 and SN38. Cell viability and cell cycle distribution were analyzed. The expression of cell cycle- and apoptosis-related proteins was determined using western blot.
    Results: The combination of LEE011 and SN38 elicited a synergistic antiproliferative effect on HT-29 (PIK3CA
    Conclusion: The effects of the combination of LEE011 and conventional chemotherapy drugs on CRC depend on the chemotherapy drug and the specific gene mutation harbored by tumor cells.
