This phase I/Ib trial tests the side effects, best dose, tolerability, and effectiveness of RMC-5552 in treating patients with glioblastoma that has come back (recurrent). RMC-5552 is a type of medicine called an mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor. These types of drugs prevent the formation of a specific group of proteins called mTOR. This protein controls cancer cell growth, and the study doctors believe stopping mTOR from forming may help to kill tumor cells.

BACKGROUND:The myocardium adapts to ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) by changes in gene expression, determining the cardiac response to reperfusion. mRNA translation is a key component of gene expression. It is largely unknown how regulation of mRNA translation contributes to cardiac gene expression and inflammation in response to reperfusion and whether it can be targeted to mitigate I/R injury.METHODS:To examine translation and its impact on gene expression in response to I/R, we measured protein synthesis after reperfusion in vitro and in vivo. Underlying mechanisms of translational control were examined by pharmacological and genetic targeting of translation initiation in mice. Cell type–specific ribosome profiling was performed in mice that had been subjected to I/R to determine the impact of mRNA translation on the regulation of gene expression in cardiomyocytes. Translational regulation of inflammation was studied by quantification of immune cell infiltration, inflammatory gene expression, and cardiac function after short-term inhibition of translation initiation.RESULTS: Reperfusion induced a rapid recovery of translational activity that exceeds baseline levels in the infarct and border zone and is mediated by translation initiation through the mTORC1 (mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1)–4EBP1 (eIF4E-binding protein 1)–eIF (eukaryotic initiation factor) 4F axis. Cardiomyocyte-specific ribosome profiling identified that I/R increased translation of mRNA networks associated with cardiac inflammation and cell infiltration. Short-term inhibition of the mTORC1-4EBP1-eIF4F axis decreased the expression of proinflammatory cytokines such as Ccl2 (C-C motif chemokine ligand 2) of border zone cardiomyocytes, thereby attenuating Ly6C hi monocyte infiltration and myocardial inflammation. In addition, we identified a systemic immunosuppressive effect of eIF4F translation inhibitors on circulating monocytes, directly inhibiting monocyte infiltration. Short-term pharmacological inhibition of eIF4F complex formation by 4EGI-1 or rapamycin attenuated translation, reduced infarct size, and improved cardiac function after myocardial infarction. CONCLUSIONS: Global protein synthesis is inhibited during ischemia and shortly after reperfusion, followed by a recovery of protein synthesis that exceeds baseline levels in the border and infarct zones. Activation of mRNA translation after reperfusion is driven by mTORC1/eIF4F-mediated regulation of initiation and mediates an mRNA network that controls inflammation and monocyte infiltration to the myocardium. Transient inhibition of the mTORC1-/eIF4F axis inhibits translation and attenuates Ly6C hi monocyte infiltration by inhibiting a proinflammatory response at the site of injury and of circulating monocytes.

Subconjunctival fibrosis is the major cause of failure in both conventional and modern minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries (MIGSs) with subconjunctival filtration. The search for safe and effective anti-fibrotic agents is critical for improving long-term surgical outcomes. In this study, we investigated the effect of inhibiting the rapamycin-insensitive mTORC1/4E-BP1 axis on the transforming growth factor-beta 1(TGF-β1)-induced fibrotic responses in human Tenon's fibroblasts (HTFs), as well as in a rat model of glaucoma filtration surgery (GFS). Primary cultured HTFs were treated with 3 ng/mL TGF-β1 for 24 h, followed by treatment with 10 μM CZ415 for additional 24 h. Rapamycin (10 μM) was utilized as a control for mTORC1/4E-BP1 signaling insensitivity. The expression levels of fibrosis-associated molecules were measured using quantitative real-time PCR, Western blotting, and immunofluorescence analysis. Cell migration was assessed through the scratch wound assay. Additionally, a rat model of GFS was employed to evaluate the anti-fibrotic effect of CZ415 in vivo. Our findings indicated that both rapamycin and CZ415 treatment significantly reduced the TGF-β1-induced cell proliferation, migration, and the expression of pro-fibrotic factors in HTFs. CZ415 also more effectively inhibited TGF-β1-mediated collagen synthesis in HTFs compared to rapamycin. Activation of mTORC1/4E-BP signaling following TGF-β1 exposure was highly suppressed by CZ415 but was only modestly inhibited by rapamycin. Furthermore, CZ415 was found to decrease subconjunctival collagen deposition in rats post GFS. Our results suggest that rapamycin-insensitive mTORC1/4E-BP1 signaling plays a critical role in TGF-β₁-driven collagen synthesis in HTFs. This study demonstrated that inhibition of the mTORC1/4E-BP1 axis offers superior anti-fibrotic efficacy compared to rapamycin and represents a promising target for improving the success rate of both traditional and modern GFSs.

Acevaltrate is a natural product isolated from the roots of Valeriana glechomifolia F.G.Mey. (Valerianaceae) and has been shown to exhibit anti-cancer activity. However, the mechanism by which acevaltrate inhibits tumor growth is not fully understood. We here demonstrated the effect of acevaltrate on hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) expression. Acevaltrate showed a potent inhibitory activity against HIF-1α induced by hypoxia in various cancer cells. This compound markedly decreased the hypoxia-induced accumulation of HIF-1α protein dose-dependently. Further analysis revealed that acevaltrate inhibited HIF-1α protein synthesis and promoted degradation of HIF-1α protein, without affecting the expression level of HIF-1α mRNA. Moreover, the phosphorylation levels of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), ribosomal protein S6 kinase (p70S6K), and eIF4E binding protein-1 (4E-BP1) were significantly suppressed by acevaltrate. In addition, acevaltrate promoted apoptosis and inhibited proliferation, which was potentially mediated by suppression of HIF-1α. We also found that acevaltrate administration inhibited tumor growth in mouse xenograft model. Taken together, these results suggested that acevaltrate was a potent inhibitor of HIF-1α and provided a new insight into the mechanisms of acevaltrate against cancers.
