Integrated molecular signaling involving mitochondrial dysfunction and alteration of cell metabolism induced by tyrosine kinase inhibitors in cancer

Cancer cells have unlimited replicative potential, insensitivity to growth-inhibitory signals, evasion of apoptosis, cellular stress, and sustained angiogenesis, invasiveness and metastatic potential. Cancer cells adequately adapt cell metabolism and integrate several intracellular and redox signaling to promote cell survival in an inflammatory and hypoxic microenvironment in order to maintain/expand tumor phenotype. The administration of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) constitutes the recommended therapeutic strategy in different malignancies at advanced stages. There are important interrelationships between cell stress, redox status, mitochondrial function, metabolism and cellular signaling pathways leading to cell survival/death. The induction of apoptosis and cell cycle arrest widely related to the antitumoral properties of TKIs result from tightly controlled events involving different cellular compartments and signaling pathways. The aim of the present review is to update the most relevant studies dealing with the impact of TKI treatment on cell function. The induction of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and Ca2+ disturbances, leading to alteration of mitochondrial function, redox status and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-protein kinase B (Akt)-mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling pathways that involve cell metabolism reprogramming in cancer cells will be covered. Emphasis will be given to studies that identify key components of the integrated molecular pattern including receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) downstream signaling, cell death and mitochondria-related events that appear to be involved in the resistance of cancer cells to TKI treatments.This study was funded by Institute of Health Carlos III (ISCiii) (PI16/00090, PI19/00838 and PI19/01266), Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (BFU2016-80006-P), Andalusian Ministry of Economy, Innovation, Science and Employment (BIO-216 and CTS-6264), Andalusian Ministry of Equality, Health and Social Policies (PI-0198-2016) and Valencian Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports (PROMETEO/2019/027).

To the public space of quality: a look from Barranquilla

Barranquilla en la búsqueda de su Re-conceptualización como ciudad integral y en apuesta a el mejoramiento de su infraestructura urbana, ha propuesto impulsar el potencial que representan los escenarios públicos en la cotidianidad de la ciudadanía, elementos dinamizadores como los parques y plazas, son tomados como piezas fundamentales para el estudio, análisis y critica de su funcionalidad como ente estructurante del urbanismo en el presente artículo. Logrando de esta forma un comparativo entre la cantidad, calidad y eficiencia de los espacios públicos que posee la ciudad, teniendo en cuenta características de su estado, apreciación e importancia que representa para la población y el impacto de este elemento en el ámbito urbano. Obteniendo a raíz de esto, aspectos subjetivos y objetivos que permiten una valoración completa, un abordaje sistémico del concepto de espacio público. Las variantes que se encuentran al analizar el espacio público en la ciudad dependen de su ubicación o contexto, área, componentes y población o área de influencia que es beneficiada con este, esto pone en una disyuntiva de como realmente ser objetivos a la hora de comparar las muestras, en qué criterios se puede basar para lograr una concepción de un espacio público eficiente, pero que al mismo tiempo se rija por las necesidades y requerimientos de quienes lo habitan, el cual es concebido como todo aquel espacio o área exterior que es de interés público; de todos y para todos, donde puedes ser libre de hacer lo que desees pero respetando el derecho de los demás ciudadanos.Barranquilla in the search of its Re-conceptualization as integral city and in bet to the improvement of its urban infrastructure, has proposed to promote the potential that represent the public scenarios in the daily life of the citizens, dynamic elements such as parks and squares, are taken as fundamental pieces for the study, analysis and critique of its functionality as structuring entity of urbanism in this article. Achieving in this way a comparison between the quantity, quality and efficiency of the public spaces that the city possesses, taking into account characteristics of its state, appreciation and importance that it represents for the population and the impact of this element in the urban environment. Obtaining as a result of this, subjective and objective aspects that allow a complete evaluation, a systemic approach of the concept of public space. The variants found when analyzing the public space in the city depend on its location or context, area, components and population or area of influence that is benefited with it, this puts in a dilemma of how to really be objective when comparing the samples, on what criteria can be based to achieve a conception of an efficient public space, but at the same time governed by the needs and requirements of those who inhabit it, which is conceived as all that space or exterior area that is public interest; of all and for all, where you can be free to do what you want but respecting the rights of other citizens

Treatment with tocilizumab or corticosteroids for COVID-19 patients with hyperinflammatory state: a multicentre cohort study (SAM-COVID-19).

The objective of this study was to estimate the association between tocilizumab or corticosteroids and the risk of intubation or death in patients with coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) with a hyperinflammatory state according to clinical and laboratory parameters. A cohort study was performed in 60 Spanish hospitals including 778 patients with COVID-19 and clinical and laboratory data indicative of a hyperinflammatory state. Treatment was mainly with tocilizumab, an intermediate-high dose of corticosteroids (IHDC), a pulse dose of corticosteroids (PDC), combination therapy, or no treatment. Primary outcome was intubation or death; follow-up was 21 days. Propensity score-adjusted estimations using Cox regression (logistic regression if needed) were calculated. Propensity scores were used as confounders, matching variables and for the inverse probability of treatment weights (IPTWs). In all, 88, 117, 78 and 151 patients treated with tocilizumab, IHDC, PDC, and combination therapy, respectively, were compared with 344 untreated patients. The primary endpoint occurred in 10 (11.4%), 27 (23.1%), 12 (15.4%), 40 (25.6%) and 69 (21.1%), respectively. The IPTW-based hazard ratios (odds ratio for combination therapy) for the primary endpoint were 0.32 (95%CI 0.22-0.47; p  Tocilizumab might be useful in COVID-19 patients with a hyperinflammatory state and should be prioritized for randomized trials in this situation

Characteristics and predictors of death among 4035 consecutively hospitalized patients with COVID-19 in Spain.

To analyse the characteristics and predictors of death in hospitalized patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Spain. A retrospective observational study was performed of the first consecutive patients hospitalized with COVID-19 confirmed by real-time PCR assay in 127 Spanish centres until 17 March 2020. The follow-up censoring date was 17 April 2020. We collected demographic, clinical, laboratory, treatment and complications data. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality. Univariable and multivariable Cox regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with death. Of the 4035 patients, male subjects accounted for 2433 (61.0%) of 3987, the median age was 70 years and 2539 (73.8%) of 3439 had one or more comorbidity. The most common symptoms were a history of fever, cough, malaise and dyspnoea. During hospitalization, 1255 (31.5%) of 3979 patients developed acute respiratory distress syndrome, 736 (18.5%) of 3988 were admitted to intensive care units and 619 (15.5%) of 3992 underwent mechanical ventilation. Virus- or host-targeted medications included lopinavir/ritonavir (2820/4005, 70.4%), hydroxychloroquine (2618/3995, 65.5%), interferon beta (1153/3950, 29.2%), corticosteroids (1109/3965, 28.0%) and tocilizumab (373/3951, 9.4%). Overall, 1131 (28%) of 4035 patients died. Mortality increased with age (85.6% occurring in older than 65 years). Seventeen factors were independently associated with an increased hazard of death, the strongest among them including advanced age, liver cirrhosis, low age-adjusted oxygen saturation, higher concentrations of C-reactive protein and lower estimated glomerular filtration rate. Our findings provide comprehensive information about characteristics and complications of severe COVID-19, and may help clinicians identify patients at a higher risk of death
