Inhibition of glycolysis modulates prednisolone resistance in acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells.

TL;DR: It is shown that prednisolone resistance is associated with increased glucose consumption and that inhibition of glycolysis sensitizes prednisOLone-resistant ALL cell lines to glucocorticoids, and that targeting glyCOlysis is a viable strategy for modulating prednisoone resistance in ALL.
Journal Article

Inhibition of glutathione synthesis reverses Bcl-2-mediated cisplatin resistance.

TL;DR: The results suggest that apoptotic signaling after genotoxic exposure can be inhibited by the antioxidant activity of glutathione, which contributes to cell survival by mechanisms independent of cisplatin inactivation or inhibition of DNA adduct formation.
Journal Article

Akt up-regulation increases resistance to microtubule-directed chemotherapeutic agents through mammalian target of rapamycin

TL;DR: Activation of the Akt-mTOR signaling pathway can augment glucose utilization and promote resistance to chemotherapeutic agents that do not directly target metabolic regulation, providing insight into potentially synergistic combinations of anticancer therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Past, Current, and Future of Immunotherapies for Prostate Cancer.

TL;DR: Preclinical investigations show promise with the recent description of alternative ways to circumvent the immunosuppressive nature of the prostate tumor microenvironment, including harnessing the immune stimulatory NKG2D pathway, inhibiting myeloid derived suppressor cells, and utilizing immunomodulatory oncolytic viruses.
