Predictive genomic biomarkers of therapeutic effects in renal cell carcinoma
ConclusionThis review summarized those studies from three perspectives (SNPs, mutation, and expression level) and listed the relationship between biomarkers and therapeutic effect, highlighting the great potential of predictive molecular biomarkers in metastatic RCC therapy. However, due to a series of reasons, most of these findings require further validation. (Source: Cellular Oncology)

Stiffened tumor microenvironment enhances perineural invasion in breast cancer via integrin signaling
ConclusionsOur findings suggest that stiff matrix induces expression of pro-metastatic and neurotrophic genes through integrin β1-FAK-YAP signals, which finally facilitates PNI in BRCA. Thus, our study provides a new mechanism for PNI in BRCA and highlights nerve-based tumor treatment strategies. (Source: Cellular Oncology)

Exploration of molecular markers related to chemotherapy efficacy of hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach
ConclusionChemotherapy is closely associated with changes in the molecular characteristics of HAS. After chemotherapy, at genomic and transcriptome level, many features were altered. These changes may be molecular markers of poor chemotherapeutic efficacy and play an important role in chemoresistance in HAS. In addition,ERBB2,FGFR2,MET andHGF gene amplification may be potential therapeutic targets for HAS. (Source: Cellular Oncology)

Complexation of histone deacetylase inhibitor belinostat to Cu(II) prevents premature metabolic inactivation in vitro and demonstrates potent anti-cancer activity in vitro and ex vivo in colon cancer
ConclusionsComplexation of belinostat to Cu(II) does not alter the HDAC activity of belinostat, but instead significantly enhances its metabolic stabilityin vitro and targets anti-cancer pathways by perturbing key MRs in colon cancer. Complexation of HDACis to a metal ion might improve the efficacy of clinically used HDACis in patients with colon cancer. (Source: Cellular Oncology)
