TFE3/PI3K/Akt/mTOR axis in renal cell carcinoma affects tumor microenvironment
Am J Pathol. 2024 Apr 6:S0002-9440(24)00122-6. doi: 10.1016/j.ajpath.2024.02.022. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe role of the PI3K/Akt pathway in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) progression, metastasis, and resistance to therapies has not been thoroughly investigated. Transcription factor E3 (TFE3) expression is related to poorer prognosis and tumor microenvironment in patients with RCC. We aimed to determine the relationship between TFE3 and the PI3K/Akt pathway. TFE3 downregulation was achieved by transient transfection of small interfering RNA (siRNA) and short hairpin RNA (shRNA) in UOK146 cells. TFE3 overexpression was i...

Celastrol Elicits Antitumor Effects through Inducing Immunogenic Cell Death and Downregulating PD-L1 in ccRCC
CONCLUSION: These findings indicate that CeT not only induces ICD but also suppresses PD-L1 by down-regulating MAPK1 expression, which will provide an attractive strategy for ccRCC immunotherapy.PMID:38584553 | DOI:10.2174/0113816128288970240321073436 (Source: Current Pharmaceutical Design)

Fumarate hydratase mutation associated uterine leiomyomas: A case report and literature review
Key Clinical MessageThe patient was found to have multiple uterine myomas at the age of 19, underwent laparoscopic myomectomy at the age of 20, and underwent laparotomic myomectomy again at the age of 23 due to the recurrence of uterine myoma. At the age of 25, the patient reappeared with symptoms and recurrence, and was diagnosed with uterine leiomyomas (ULMs) of FH mutation and high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL/CIN III) with gland involvement, after complete examination. Fumarate hydratase (FH) mutation screening is important when gynecologists encounter patients with early onset and multiple ULMs, it can ...

Validation of the Lung Immune Prognostic Index (LIPI) as a prognostic biomarker in metastatic renal cell carcinoma
The Lung Immune Prognostic Index (LIPI) is associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) outcomes across different solid tumors, particularly in non-small cell lung cancer. Data regarding the prognostic and/or predictive role of LIPI in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) are still scarce. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether LIPI could be predictive of survival in mRCC patients. (Source: European Journal of Cancer)

Radiomics-based discriminant analysis of principal components to stratify the treatment response of lung metastases following stereotactic body radiation therapy
The lung is the second most common site for metastases for most solid tumor (such as primary lung cancer itself, colorectal, head and neck, renal cell and breast cancer), with 20 –54 % of cancer patients developing lung metastases during their disease [1]. If patients with aggressive metastatic dissemination are usually treated with systemic therapy, patients with a modest metastatic burden, also known as oligometastatic disease, are more likely to benefit from local trea tment [2]. Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is a potentially effective alternative treatment modality that is now regarded as being equally ...

Ginsenoside Rh4 Facilitates the Sensitivity of Renal Cell Carcinoma to Ferroptosis via the NRF2 Pathway
CONCLUSIONS: Rh4 made RCC cells more sensitive to ferroptosis by inhibiting the NRF2 signaling and suppressing the expression of antioxidant enzymes. Therefore, combining Rh4 with ferroptosis-inducing reagents to treat RCC had potential therapeutic application.PMID:38583003 | DOI:10.56434/j.arch.esp.urol.20247702.16 (Source: Archivos Espanoles de Urologia)
