Characterization of Bozitinib as a potential therapeutic agent for MET-amplified gastric cancer by Hang Lin, Lingzhi Qu, Hudie Wei, Ming Guo, Xiaojuan Chen, Qianmeng Lin, Huajun Zhang, Shuyan Dai, Yongheng Chen

“…Bozitinib demonstrates a strong effect on MET-amplified gastric cancer cells by blocking the c-Met signaling pathway, leading to the inhibition of cell proliferation and survival, as well as the induction of G0/G1 phase arrest and apoptosis. Structurally, bozitinib is optimally embedded in the ATP pocket of c-Met and firmly binds via an extensive interaction network. …”

CD154 Induces Interleukin-6 Secretion by Kidney Tubular Epithelial Cells under Hypoxic Conditions: Inhibition by Chloroquine by Antoine Dewitte, Julien Villeneuve, Sébastien Lepreux, Marion Bouchecareilh, Xavier Gauthereau, Claire Rigothier, Christian Combe, Alexandre Ouattara, Jean Ripoche

“…Searching for inhibitors of CD154-mediated IL-6 production by HK-2 cells in hypoxic conditions, we observed that chloroquine, a drug that has been repurposed as an anti-inflammatory agent, alleviated this induction. Therefore, CD154 is a potent early stimulus for IL-6 secretion by TECs in O2 deprivation conditions, a mechanism likely to take part in the deleterious inflammatory consequences of platelet activation in kidney tubular injury. …”
