PKMYT1 inhibits lung adenocarcinoma progression by abrogating AKT1 activity
ConclusionThis work reveals the anti-tumor effect of PKMYT1 in LUAD and provides evidence to clarify the dual roles of PKMYT1 in tumor progression. Moreover, our findings broaden the current understandings on AKT1 activation and identify PKMYT1 as a potential negative regulator of AKT1 kinase activity, providing further insights into targeting the AKT pathway in LUAD.

Dual anti-angiogenic and anti-metastatic activity of myriocin synergistically enhances the anti-tumor activity of cisplatin
ConclusionWe suggest that myriocin is a novel potent anti-cancer agent that dually targets both VEGFR2 in ECs and I κBα in cancer cells, and exerts more pronounced anti-tumor effects than with either kinase being inhibited alone. (Source: Cellular Oncology)

DNASE1L3 inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma by delaying cell cycle progression through CDK2
ConclusionOur study unveils DNASE1L3 as a novel HCC cell cycle regulator and tumor suppressor. DNASE1L3 impairs HCC tumorigenesis by delaying cell cycle progression possibly through disrupting the positive E2F1-CDK2 regulatory loop. DNASE1L3 may serve as a target for the development of novel therapeutic strategies against HCC. (Source: Cellular Oncology)

Distinct expression and function of breast cancer metastasis suppressor 1 in mutant P53 glioblastoma
ConclusionOur data indicate upregulation of BRMS1 in high grade astrocytomas which correlates positively withmutant P53 and a poor patient survival. Silencing of BRMS1 inmutant P53 GBM cell lines resulted in a reduced cellular growth and migration/invasion by suppressing the EGFR-AKT/NF-kB signaling pathway. BRMS1 may serve as a predictive biomarker and therapeutic target inmutant P53 GBM. (Source: Cellular Oncology)

Low-dose anti-VEGFR2 therapy promotes anti-tumor immunity in lung adenocarcinoma by down-regulating the expression of layilin on tumor-infiltrating CD8+T cells
ConclusionLow-dose anti-VEGFR2 antibody combined with anti-PD1 antibody therapy promoted anti-tumor immunity and the downregulation of LAYN in tumor-infiltrating CD8+T cells played an important role in this process. These findings had implications for improving the efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade therapy and further optimized clinical treatment guidelines in advanced LUAD. (Source: Cellular Oncology)
