A DNA G-Quadruplex-Targeting Ligand Suppresses c-MYC Expression: Implications for Gemcitabine‑Resistant Pancreatic Cancer.

The MYC oncogene is dysregulated in nearly 70% of human cancers and plays a central role in tumor initiation and progression. However, direct targeting of c-MYC remains challenging because of its "undruggable" nature. Stabilization of DNA G-quadruplex (G4) structures within the c-MYC promoter offers an alternative stra...

Photodynamic activity of a mitochondria-localized G-quadruplex-responsive fluorescent ligand: Cellular effects and photo-enhanced cytotoxicity.

Results establish the photodynamic activity of SPN and identify mitochondrial stress and caspase-3-associated apoptosis as central components of its cellular response and identify mitochondrial respiratory chain perturbation and apoptotic signaling.
