Tumor ratio of unsaturated to saturated sulfatide species is associated with disease-free survival in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma
ConclusionSulfatides were found in tumor tissue of patients with iCCA, with sulfatide abundance per pixel being similar to bile ducts. In this explorative study, sulfatide abundance was not related to overall survival of iCCA patients. A high ratio of unsaturated to saturated sulfatides was associated with earlier tumor recurrence in patients with iCCA. (Source: Cellular Oncology)

Protamine 1 as a secreted colorectal cancer-specific antigen facilitating G1/S phase transition under nutrient stress conditions
ConclusionsIn general, our research presented PRM1 as a specific CRC antigen and illustrated the importance of PRM1 in CRC metabolism rewiring. The new vulnerability of CRC cells was also provided with the potential to be targeted in future.Graphical abstractDiagnostic value and grow factor-like biofunction of PRM1 A represents the secretion process of PRM1 regulated by nutrient deficiency. B represents activation of PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway of secreted PRM1. (Source: Cellular Oncology)

Ezrin accelerates breast cancer liver metastasis through promoting furin-like convertase-mediated cleavage of Notch1
ConclusionOur results demonstrated that ezrin drives BCLM through activation of the Notch signaling pathway via furin-like convertase. These findings provide a better understanding of the mechanism of ezrin in breast cancer progression, with the goal of discovering a novel target for the treatment of BCLM in the future.
