H3K4 methylation of CALB2 facilitates immune evasion and chemoradiotherapy resistance in cholangiocarcinoma through KRT7-mediated PD-L1 upregulation. (PubMed, Int Immunopharmacol)
Notably, CALB2 knockdown significantly sensitized CCA tumors to gemcitabine plus radiotherapy, an effect attenuated by KRT7 overexpression. These findings define a novel H3K4 methylation/CALB2/calcium/NF-κB/KRT7/PD-L1 signaling axis that drives immune suppression and therapy resistance in CCA, highlighting its potential as a multi-target strategy for combined immunotherapy and chemoradiotherapy.

Ultrasound-Responsive Serotonylation and Hallmark Pathway Gene Signatures Reveal Tumor Microenvironment Vulnerabilities and Prognostic Subtypes in Colorectal Cancer. (PubMed, Cancer Biother Radiopharm)
This multiomics integration reveals a serotonylation-hallmark gene signature that represents microenvironmental characteristics, such as matrix stiffness, stromal density, and immune infiltration, that are pertinent to ultrasound-based CRC therapy. These biomarkers could direct patient classification for radiopharmaceutical, immunotherapy, and ultrasound-enhanced medication delivery. This work supports future clinical trial stratification frameworks and offers a mechanistic basis for precision ultrasound oncology.

Neurotransmitter receptor-associated gene signature: prognostic and immunosuppressive microenvironment in NSCLC. (PubMed, Future Sci OA)
Expression analysis indicated that CPS1 and CALB2 were downregulated in NSCLC samples, whereas CDH17, NIPAL4, SOX2, and KREMEN2 were upregulated. The genes CPS1, CDH17, NIPAL4, SOX2, CALB2, and KREMEN2 were identified as prognostic biomarkers in NSCLC, providing insights into their potential roles in disease progression and therapeutic targeting.

Cellular reprogramming of H3K27M pediatric high-grade glioma to neuron-like state. (PubMed, Acta Neuropathol Commun)
These findings advance the concept of 'differentiation therapy' as a promising intervention to reduce phenotypic plasticity and malignancy in pHGG ecosystems. While these are early in vitro findings, the potential ability to steer and control glioma cells toward stable, less malignant fates offers promising translational potential for patient-centered targeted therapies.

CALB2 Overexpression Attenuates Neuropathic Pain by Inhibiting Oxidative Stress and Modulating Microglia M1/M2 Polarization Through Activation of the cAMP/CREB Pathway. (PubMed, Neurochem Res)
Mechanistically, CALB2 overexpression inhibited NP development by activating the cyclic adenosine monophosphate/cAMP response element-binding protein (cAMP/CREB) signaling pathway. CALB2 overexpression inhibits oxidative stress and promotes microglia transition from M1 to M2 phenotype by activating the cAMP/CREB pathway, which in turn attenuates NP.

CALB2 facilitates macrophage M2 polarization to promote the growth and metastasis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma. (PubMed, Cell Signal)
WTAP knockdown restrained the growth and metastasis of PAAD in nude mice via the FOSL1/CALB2 axis. In conclusion, WTAP increased the m6A level of FOSL1, activated CALB2 transcription, and promoted M2 polarization of macrophages, thereby promoting the growth and metastasis of PAAD.

Cytoplasmic HuR Expression Enhances Chemoresistance in Pleural Mesothelioma Through Increased Expression of CALB2, Promotion of the E2F Pathway, and Suppression of the p53 Pathway. (PubMed, Thorac Cancer)
Cytoplasmic HuR expression increases the chemoresistance and postoperative recurrence risk of pleural mesothelioma, making it a potential biomarker for predicting therapeutic prognosis. However, the mechanism of HuR transfer to the cytoplasm remains unclear for therapeutic application.

Phosphatidylinositol promoted the proliferation and invasion of pituitary adenoma cells by regulating POU1F1 expression. (PubMed, Cancer Metab)
In addition, PI propelled the metastasis of GH3 cells in vivo, and elevated the expression of PITPNM1, POU1F1, C2orf15 and LDHA. These results suggested that elevated serum PI might contribute to the proliferation and invasion of pituitary adenoma by regulating the expression of PITPNM1/AKT/ERK/POU1F1 axis.
