Common and distinct patterns of acquired uniparental disomy and homozygous deletions between lung squamous cell carcinomas and lung adenocarcinoma
Neoplasia. 2023 Oct 4;45:100932. doi: 10.1016/j.neo.2023.100932. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAcquired uniparental disomy (aUPD) is a chromosomal alteration that can lead to homozygosity of existing aberrations. We used data from The Cancer Genome Atlas SNP-based arrays to identify distinct and common aUPD profiles in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC). Moreover, we tested relevance of aUPD for homozygous deletion (HMD), overall survival (OS), and recurrence-free survival (RFS). Overall, we found significantly higher aUPD (q = 5.34E-09) in LUSC than in LUAD. A significant portion of HMD was...

ΔNp63 silencing, DNA methylation shifts, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition resulted from TAp63 genome editing in squamous cell carcinoma
Neoplasia. 2023 Sep 29;45:100938. doi: 10.1016/j.neo.2023.100938. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTP63 (p63) is strongly expressed in lower-grade carcinomas of the head and neck, skin, breast, and urothelium to maintain a well-differentiated phenotype. TP63 has two transcription start sites at exons 1 and 3' that produce TAp63 and ΔNp63 isoforms, respectively. The major protein, ΔNp63α, epigenetically activates genes essential for epidermal/craniofacial differentiation, including ΔNp63 itself. To examine the specific role of weakly expressed TAp63, we disrupted exon 1 using CRISPR-Cas9 homology-directed repair in a head ...

DARPP-32 and t-DARPP in the development of resistance to anti-HER2 agents. Pre-clinical evidence from the STEP study
Neoplasia. 2023 Sep 26;45:100937. doi: 10.1016/j.neo.2023.100937. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe therapeutic scenario of Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 positive advanced breast cancer (ABC) has been recently enriched by a number of innovative agents, which are reshaping treatment sequence. While randomized trials have documented an advantage in terms of efficacy, for the newly available agents we lack effectiveness and tolerability evidence from the real-world setting. Similarly, the identification of predictive biomarkers might improve clinical decision. We herein describe the outline of a prospective/retrosp...

ABBV-744 induces autophagy in gastric cancer cells by regulating PI3K/AKT/mTOR/p70S6k and MAPK signaling pathways
In this study, we evaluated the effect of ABBV-744 on gastric cancer cells and explored the possible underlying mechanisms. We found that ABBV-744 inhibited the growth of gastric cancer cells and patient-derived tumor organoids in a dose-dependent manner. Cellular experiments revealed that ABBV-744 induced mitochondria damage, reactive oxygen species accumulation, cell cycle arrest and apoptotic cell death in gastric cancer cells. Transcriptomic analysis using RNA-sequencing data identified autophagy as a crucial pathway involved in the cell death caused by ABBV-744. Mechanically, further studies showed that ABBV-744 induc...
