Biological landscape and nanostructural view in development and reversal of oxaliplatin resistance in colorectal cancer
Transl Oncol. 2023 Dec 1;40:101846. doi: 10.1016/j.tranon.2023.101846. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe treatment of cancer patients has been mainly followed using chemotherapy and it is a gold standard in improving prognosis and survival rate of patients. Oxaliplatin (OXA) is a third-platinum anti-cancer agent that reduces DNA synthesis in cancer cells to interfere with their growth and cell cycle progression. In spite of promising results of using OXA in cancer chemotherapy, the process of drug resistance has made some challenges. OXA is commonly applied in treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC) as a malignancy of gastroi...

Pan-cancer analysis of 60S Ribosomal Protein L7-Like 1 (RPL7L1) and validation in liver hepatocellular carcinoma
CONCLUSIONS: RPL7L1 was overexpressed in nine tumor types. Gene mutation, tumor microenvironment and methylation modification of RPL7L1 plays a key role in patient prognosis. And the high expression of RPL7L1 was associated with TMB, MSI, LOH especially LIHC and HNSC. We experimentally verified that genes can promote the proliferation and migration of tumor cells. Our study suggested that RPL7L1 biomarker can be used for treating cancer, detecting it, and predicting its prognosis.PMID:38042135 | DOI:10.1016/j.tranon.2023.101844 (Source: Translational Oncology)

Distinctive mesenchymal-like neurofibroma stem cells shape NF1 clinical phenotypes controlled by BDNF microenvironment
CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrated that BDNF can modulate MNSCs and thereby controlling different tumor phenotypes between the head and trunk regions. Application of BDNF neutralizing antibodies may inhibit p38 MAPK pathway, therefore providing a promising strategy for managing NF1.PMID:38042136 | DOI:10.1016/j.tranon.2023.101852 (Source: Translational Oncology)

Anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy for colorectal cancer: Clinical implications and future considerations
Transl Oncol. 2023 Dec 1;40:101851. doi: 10.1016/j.tranon.2023.101851. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTColorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most prevalent cancer in the world. The PD-1/PD-L1 pathway plays a crucial role in modulating immune response to cancer, and PD-L1 expression has been observed in tumor and immune cells within the tumor microenvironment of CRC. Thus, immunotherapy drugs, specifically checkpoint inhibitors, have been developed to target the PD-1/PD-L1 signaling pathway, thereby inhibiting the interaction between PD-1 and PD-L1 and restoring T-cell function in cancer cells. However, the emergence of resist...

Tobacco and alcohol consumption are the two major risk-factors but infection of high-risk HPVs are also associated with development of predominantly oral and oropharyngeal carcinomas. Interestingly, unlike cervical cancer, HPV-induced HNSCCs show good prognosis and better survival in contrast, majority of tobacco-associated HPV-ve HNSCCs are highly aggressi...

miR-1182-mediated ALDH3A2 inhibition affects lipid metabolism and progression in ccRCC by activating the PI3K-AKT pathway
This study delves into the unexplored landscape of Dysregulated Aldehyde Dehydrogenase 3 Family Member A2 (ALDH3A2) in ccRCC. Using a combination of "fatty acid metabolism" dataset analysis and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) derived from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, potential metabolic regulators in ccRCC were identified. Subsequent investigations utilizing public databases, clinical samples, and in vitro experiments revealed that ALDH3A2 was down-regulated in ccRCC, mediated by miR-1182, highlighting its role as an independent prognostic factor for patient survival. Functionally, ALDH3A2 exhibited tumor-...

Silencing of PD-1 combined with EBV-specific killer T cells for the treatment of EBV-associated B lymphoma
In this study, immortalized B lymphoblastoid cell lines (B-LCLs) positive for EBV-specific proteins were established from human peripheral mononuclear cells (PBMCs) using EBV induction along with CpG-ODN 2006 and cyclosporin A. EBV-specific T cells (EBVST) were generated by multiple immunizations of CD3+ T lymphocytes using irradiated B-LCLs. Flow cytometry analysis confirmed the activation of EBVST through the detection of CD3+, CD4+, and CD8+ markers. Co-incubation of EBVST with EBV-positive B lymphocyte cell lines resulted in the secretion of perforin by EBVST, leading to granzyme B-mediated cell death and an increase i...
