Nintedanib is active in malignant pleural mesothelioma cell models and inhibits angiogenesis and tumor growth in vivo
CONCLUSIONS: Nintedanib exerts significant antitumor activity in MPM both in vitro and in vivo. These data provide preclinical support for the concept of LUME-Meso trials evaluating nintedanib in patients with unresectable MPM.May 10, 2018

Malignant Peritoneal Mesothelioma: National Practice Patterns, Outcomes, and Predictors of Survival
No major temporal trends in management were noted. Factors predictive of CRS administration included younger age, female gender, insurance status, residence in educated areas, living farther from treating institutions, and treatment at academic centers (p .May 9, 2018

Expression of plakophilin 3 in diffuse malignant pleural mesothelioma
The results demonstrated higher level of plakophilin 3 expression in tumor samples with histologically more aggressive tumor growth, but no significant prognostic value. According to our study, plakophilin 3 appears to be involved in tumor invasion in malignant mesothelioma.May 8, 2018

Antitumor efficacy of Kisspeptin in human malignant mesothelioma cells
Thespecificexpression of EMT markers, as E-caderin, Vimentin, Slug and Snail, suggested the inhibition of EMT after treatment with KiSS1 as well as the preservation of epithelial components. CONCLUSION: Our results support anti-proliferative effect of KiSS1 in cancer cells and suggest that targeting the KiSS1/GPR54 system may represent a novel therapeutic approach for mesothelioma.May 7, 2018

Connective tissue growth factor-specific monoclonal antibody inhibits growth of malignant mesothelioma in an orthotopic mouse model.
Histological analyses revealed that FG-3019 not only inhibited the proliferation but also induced apoptosis in both mesothelioma cells and fibroblasts. Our data suggest that FG-3019 antibody therapy could be a novel additional choice for the treatment of mesothelioma.May 4, 2018

Multicystic mesothelioma: Operative and long-term outcomes with cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intra peritoneal chemotherapy.
CONCLUSION: Cytoreduction and HIPEC offer low recurrence rate and prolonged mean RFS for patients with MCPM. The combined procedure can be offered with acceptable morbidity in specialized centers.May 3, 2018

In Silico and In Vitro Analyses of LncRNAs as Potential Regulators in the Transition from the Epithelioid to Sarcomatoid Histotype of Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma (MPM).
LncRNAs have been shown to play diverse roles in EMT, and it has been suggested that EMT may play a role in the aggressiveness of MPM histological subsets. In this report, using both in vitro analyses on mesothelioma patient material and in silico analyses of existing RNA datasets, we posit that various lncRNAs may play important roles in EMT within MPM, and we review the current literature regarding these lncRNAs with respect to both EMT and MPM.May 2, 2018

Regulation of calretinin in malignant mesothelioma is mediated by septin 7 binding to the CALB2 promoter.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results demonstrate septin 7 not only serving as a "cytoskeletal" protein, but also as a transcription factor repressing calretinin expression. The negative regulation of calretinin by septin 7 and vice versa sheds new light on mechanisms possibly implicated in MM formation and identifies these proteins as transcriptional regulators and putative targets for MM therapy.May 1, 2018

Putative cancer stem cells may be the key target to inhibit cancer cell repopulation between the intervals of chemoradiation in murine mesothelioma.
CONCLUSION: Putative MSC possess the property of stemness showing more resistance to chemoradiation, suggesting that MSC may play critical roles in cancer cell repopulation. Further identification of selected genes may be used to design novel target therapies against MSC, so as to eliminate cancer cell repopulation in mesothelioma.April 30, 2018
