XIAP overexpressing inflammatory breast cancer patients have high infiltration of immunosuppressive subsets and increased TNFR1 signaling targetable with Birinapant
CONCLUSION: Using immunophenotyping and gene expression analysis in patient biospecimens along with in silico modeling and a preclinical model with a pan-IAP antagonist, this study revealed an interplay between increased TAMs, TNF-α signaling, and XIAP activation during (immune) stress in IBC. These data demonstrate the potential of IAP antagonists as immunomodulators for improving IBC therapeutic regimens.PMID:38412664 | DOI:10.1016/j.tranon.2024.101907 (Source: Translational Oncology)

Comprehensive genomic and clinical analyses identify APOBEC mutational signatures as a brain metastasis risk factor in lung adenocarcinoma patients
CONCLUSION: APOBEC mutational signatures related to upregulated TGFβ and EMT, could serve as an independent risk factor for BM and BM-free survival in metastatic lung adenocarcinoma patients. Further investigations are warranted to tailor personalized treatments to improve the susceptible patient's outcomes.PMID:38402722 | DOI:10.1016/j.tranon.2024.101921 (Source: Translational Oncology)

CT-guided high dose rate brachytherapy can induce multiple systemic proteins of proliferation and angiogenesis predicting outcome in HCC
CONCLUSION: Increased plasma levels of EGF and Angiopoietin-1 after HDR-BT for HCC are associated with poor response and may therefore function as predictive biomarkers of outcome.PMID:38401507 | DOI:10.1016/j.tranon.2024.101919 (Source: Translational Oncology)

Multi-omics analysis-based macrophage differentiation-associated papillary thyroid cancer patient classifier
CONCLUSION: Based on the co-expression network analysis results, we identified three subtypes of IMPTCC: Immune-Suppressive Macrophage differentiation-associated Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma Classification (ISMPTCC), Immune-Neutral Macrophage differentiation-associated Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma Classification (INMPTCC), and Immune-Activated Macrophage differentiation-associated Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma Classification (IAMPTCC). Each subtype exhibits distinct metabolic, immune, and regulatory characteristics corresponding to different states of macrophage differentiation.PMID:38382228 | DOI:10.1016/j.tranon.2024.101889 ...

Revealing underlying regulatory mechanisms of LINC00313 in Osimertinib-resistant LUAD cells by ceRNA network analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that the LINC00313/miR-218-5p/COL1A1 axis potentially contributes to osimertinib resistance through the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, providing novel insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying acquired osimertinib resistance in LUAD. Additionally, our study may aid in the identification of potential therapeutic targets for overcoming resistance to osimertinib.PMID:38377935 | DOI:10.1016/j.tranon.2024.101895 (Source: Translational Oncology)
