Mechanisms of Anti-PD Therapy Resistance in Digestive System Neoplasms
Recent Pat Anticancer Drug Discov. 2024 Jan 4. doi: 10.2174/0115748928269276231120103256. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDigestive system neoplasms are highly heterogeneous and exhibit complex resistance mechanisms that render anti-programmed cell death protein (PD) therapies poorly effective. The tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a pivotal role in tumor development, apart from supplying energy for tumor proliferation and impeding the body's anti-tumor immune response, the TME actively facilitates tumor progression and immune escape via diverse pathways, which include the modulation of heritable gene expression alterations...

Screening of Candidate Inflammatory Markers of Epithelial Cells in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Based on Integration Analysis of TCGA/ICGC Databases and Single-cell Sequencing
CONCLUSION: Inflammatory factors CCL7, GPR132, ITGB8, PTAFR, SELL, and VIP influence the inflammatory cascade response in HCC epithelial cells, and their expression correlates with the survival prognosis of HCC patients. Interfering with VIP expression effectively suppresses proliferation, migration, and invasion of HCC cells, as well as inhibiting the occurrence of inflammatory cascade reactions, thus slowing down the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma. Furthermore, compounds NADH and Deferoxamine have the potential to target and bind to the inflammatory protein VIP, highlighting their relevance in potential HCC trea...
