GSE248167 Tumor immune dysfunction and exclusion subtypes in bladder cancer and pan-cancer: a novel molecular subtyping strategy and immunotherapeutic prediction model
In conclusion, our novel TIDE-based subtyping method can serve as a powerful clinical tool for BC and pan-cancer patients, and potentially guiding personalized therapy decisions for selecting potential beneficiaries and excluding resistant patients of ICB therapy.

GSE172334 Fusobacterium nucleatum Induces PD-L1 Expression by Tumor-Associated Macrophages and Inhibits Anti-Tumor Immunity in Colorectal Cancer.
Contributors : Yz Yang ; Yl MaSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Mus musculusFusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) infection has been linked to the initiation and development of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the underlying mechanisms remains unexplored. Tissues from Fn-infected mice were first collected for single-cell RNA sequencing. we investigated the correlation between Fn infection and accumulations of tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) in tissues from human CRC or AOM/DSS treated mice. The impact of Fn on biological function of TAMs were interrogated. We deciphered the mechanis...

GSE255251 Integrative transcriptomic and proteomic profiling of subconfluent and confluent cancer cells
In this study we examine the impact of cell confluency on gene expression. We focused on Argonaute (AGO) protein dynamics and associated gene and protein expression in HEK293, A375, and SHSY5Y cell lines. As a measure of cell confluency, we observed a profound translocation of AGO2 into the nucleus. Therefore, we generated transcriptomic data using RNA sequencing to compare gene expression in subconfluent versus confluent cells, which highlighted significant alterations in gene regulation patterns directly corresponding to changes in cell density. Our study also encompasses miRNA profiling data obtained through small RNA s...

GSE255499 Replication-attenuated r3LCMV vectors potentiate tumor control via IFN-I
We report striking antitumoral effects by a nonlytic viral vector based on attenuated lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (r3LCMV). We show in multiple tumor models that injection of tumor-bearing mice with this novel vector results in improved tumor control and survival. Importantly, r3LCMV also improved tumor control in immunodeficient Rag1-/- mice. Single cell RNA-Seq analyses, antibody blockade experiments, and KO models revealed a critical role for host IFN-I in the antitumoral efficacy of r3LCMV vectors. Collectively, these data demonstrate potent antitumoral effects by a replication-attenuated LCMV vector and unveil ...

GSE262306 TIM-3 + CD8 T cells with a terminally exhausted phenotype retain functional capacity in hematological malignancies
Contributors : Simone Minnie ; Olivia Waltner ; Geoffrey Hill ; Scott FurlanSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencing ; OtherOrganism : Mus musculusChronic antigen stimulation is thought to generate dysfunctional CD8 T cells. Here we identify a CD8 T cell subset in the bone marrow tumor microenvironment that, despite an apparent terminally exhausted phenotype (TPHEX), expressed granzymes, perforin, and IFN γ. Concurrent gene expression and DNA accessibility revealed that genes encoding these functional proteins correlated with BATF expression and motif accessibility. IFNγ+ TPHEX effectively kil...

A genetic profiling guideline to support diagnosis and clinical management of lymphomas
AbstractThe new lymphoma classifications (International Consensus Classification of Mature Lymphoid Neoplasms, and 5th World Health Organization Classification of Lymphoid Neoplasms) include genetics as an integral part of lymphoma diagnosis, allowing better lymphoma subclassification, patient risk stratification, and prediction of treatment response. Lymphomas are characterized by very few recurrent and disease-specific mutations, and most entities have a heterogenous genetic landscape with a long tail of recurrently mutated genes. Most of these occur at low frequencies, reflecting the clinical heterogeneity of lymphomas....

Biologically effective dose (BED) value lower than 120  Gy improve outcomes in lung SBRT
ConclusionOur data suggest that mean total dose lower 54 and a calculated BED  <  120 Gy is the optimal. Further prospective data are needed to confirm these results and determine the optimal dose fractionation scheme as a function of tumor size and location of volume.
