Increased expression of IDO1 is associated with improved survival and increased number of TILs in patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancer
CONCLUSIONS: Our study provides evidence that IDO1 expression serves as a positive prognostic marker in HGSOC and is associated with an increased number of CD3+, CD4+ and CD8+ TILs. Understanding the intricate relationship between IDO1, TILs, and the tumor microenvironment may hold the key to improving outcomes in HGSOC.PMID:37703626 | DOI:10.1016/j.neo.2023.100934 (Source: Neoplasia)

Mutational signatures and their association with survival and gene expression in urological carcinomas
Neoplasia. 2023 Sep 5;44:100933. doi: 10.1016/j.neo.2023.100933. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDifferent sources of mutagenesis cause consistently identifiable patterns of mutations and mutational signatures that mirror the various carcinogenetic processes. We used publicly available data from the Cancer Genome Atlas to evaluate the associations between the activity of the mutational signatures and various survival endpoints in six types of urological cancers after adjusting for established prognostic factors. The predictive power of the signatures was evaluated with dynamic area under curve models. In addition, links betw...

Histone H3 K27M-mediated regulation of cancer cell stemness and differentiation in diffuse midline glioma
Neoplasia. 2023 Aug 28;44:100931. doi: 10.1016/j.neo.2023.100931. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTherapeutic resistance remains a major obstacle to preventing progression of H3K27M-altered Diffuse Midline Glioma (DMG). Resistance is driven in part by ALDH-positive cancer stem cells (CSC), with high ALDH1A3 expression observed in H3K27M-mutant DMG biopsies. We hypothesized that ALDH-mediated stemness and resistance may in part be driven by the oncohistone itself. Upon deletion of H3K27M, ALDH1A3 expression decreased dramatically and was accompanied by a gain in astrocytic marker expression and a loss of neurosphere forming p...
