ADAM8 (ADAM Metallopeptidase Domain 8)

ATP1A1 emerges as a potential therapeutic target, with functional implications in angiogenesis and immune modulation. These findings highlight the clinical relevance of the identified gene signatures and support the development of personalized treatment strategies for ccRCC patients.

Our MCA model simulating betel nut chewing induces membrane damage, activates the HIF-1α/NLRP3/ASC pathway, and enhances crosstalk between inflammation and HIF-1α signaling. Omics and clinical data reveal that ADAM8, a HIF-1α downstream target, may serve as a poor prognostic marker in OSCC.

Treatment with pTGDEV also reduced the population of myeloid-derived suppressor cells while enhancing the infiltration of dendritic cells, CD4+ T cells, and CD8+ T cells, effectively reprogramming the tumor microenvironment from immunosuppressive to immunostimulatory. These results demonstrate that pTGDEV offers a potent and targeted approach for TNBC immunotherapy, with strong potential for clinical translation.

CD24 therefore emerged as an effective target in BCP-ALL, and the combination of CD24 and CD123 as a potential effective double-targeting strategy. The combination of different recognition modalities (eg, a CAR and CD16) should be tested to determine whether it provides synergistic cytotoxic activity in triple targeting.

Drug sensitivity analysis revealed that tyrosine kinase inhibitors (e.g., ceritinib, imatinib) potently inhibited cancer cell lines in the high PC score group, while inhibitors like acalabrutinib were effective in the low PC score group. Expression of hub genes in KIRC patients was validated using a local cohort and single-cell sequencing. We identified key genes regulating PC infiltration in KIRC and proposed a predictive model that effectively identifies high-risk KIRC patients.

CD8+ T and NK cells exhibit functional polarization and altered cellular communication indicative of augmented anti-tumor immunity in ccRCC. The immune-cell-derived 10-gene signature provides a reliable prognostic tool and guides personalized therapy.

As a result, the LNPs significantly improved the intensity of action for pain relief in a single or repeated treatments, which ultimately relieved pain-related psychiatric comorbidities, while not causing latent systemic toxicities. To our best knowledge, it is the first example of nanoparticles-based DRG-targeted delivery strategy through systemic injection in treating neuropathic pain.

In conclusion, this study establishes a robust TLS-related prognostic signature for ccRCC and elucidates the mechanistic role of IRF4 in promoting TLS immaturity and immune dysfunction. By potentially recruiting immature B cells while impairing their maturation, IRF4 contributes to an ineffective anti-tumor immune landscape, offering a promising target for therapeutic intervention.

In this review, we will discuss the emerging roles of ADAMs in cancer biology, as well as the molecular processes that control their function. We further discuss the therapeutic potential of targeting ADAMs, with a focus on recent advances and future directions in the development of ADAM-specific cancer therapies.

Additionally, the MLK family of kinases acts through the long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) H19 to control the expression of these pro-angiogenic factors in the endothelium. Collectively, these findings suggest that the MLK-H19 axis coordinates endothelial function, angiogenesis, and tumor growth.

Moreover, DPP7 silencing attenuates epithelial-mesenchymal transition, as evidenced by the upregulation of E-cadherin and downregulation of N-cadherin, Vimentin, and Snail. In conclusion, this study establishes an LRG-based model for COAD prognostic prediction and nominates DPP7 as a promising therapeutic target for COAD treatment.
