RESUMEN
Casein Kinase 1 (CK1) is a family of serine/threonine protein kinases that play a crucial role in various cellular processes, including cell proliferation, survival, and metabolism. The dysregulation of CK1 expression has been implicated in the development and progression of several types of cancer, making it an attractive target for anticancer therapy. In this review, we provide an overview of the current strategies employed to target CK1 for cancer therapy and discuss the future perspectives in this field. We highlight the different approaches, including small molecule inhibitors, RNA interference, genome editing, and immunotherapies, which hold immense potential for targeted modulation of CK1 activity in cancer cells. Furthermore, we discuss the challenges associated with targeting CK1 and propose potential strategies to overcome these hurdles. Overall, targeting CK1 holds great promise as a therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment, and further research in this area is warranted.
RESUMEN
For the fabrication of a peelable coating material that decomposes methyl paraoxone (MPO), a nerve agent simulant, self-crosslinkable waterborne polyurethanes (PUs) containing silane groups at the ends and a metal organic framework (UiO-66) were synthesized. UiO-66 dispersed PU solutions for spray coating were prepared by controlling the amount of silane in PU and the content of UiO-66. PUs with a large amount of silane (more than 7.2 wt.%) were easily gelated by adding UiO-66 because the solution was changed from neutral (pH = 7.3) to strongly acidic (pH = 2.5). Therefore, the silane content in PUs should be carefully controlled for the fabrication of composite films. When UiO-66 was added to the PU with a silane content of 2.7 wt.%, the reinforcing effect by UiO-66 was observed up to 15.3 wt.%, but a further increase in UiO-66 content decreased both the tensile strength and the elongation. The peel strength of the PU composite films on polyethylene (PET) and glass substrates decreased with increasing UiO-66 content, but their MPO conversion increased with increasing UiO-66 content. The PU composite film with 49.5 wt.% of added UiO-66 showed the MPO conversion of 63.2% and was easily peeled off from PET and glass substrates.
