摘要

Pleural mesothelioma (PM) is a rare cancer affecting the pleural layer on the body’s serosal surfaces. Exposure to asbestos fibers, a naturally occurring fibrous material with insulating characteristics, contributes to PM’s prevalence. PM has a long latency period, making major surgery ineffective and necessitating systemic treatment. Despite the progress of mesothelioma treatment, the median survival is very poor; so, there is a strong need to explore new therapeutic approaches. This study explores the use of BOLD-100, a novel therapeutic drug that targets GRP78, a protein overexpressed in PM cells. BOLD-100, a ruthenium-based small molecule therapeutic drug, is being investigated for the treatment of advanced gastrointestinal malignancies in conjunction with chemotherapy. Our aim is to investigate cellular responses of several PM cell lines to a regimen that includes BOLD-100 in addition to other commonly used treatments. BOLD-100 is a ruthenium-based anticancer therapeutic.
