CCDC6 (Coiled-Coil Domain Containing 6)

Furthermore, the review elaborates on the clinical efficacy of highly selective RET inhibitors (selpercatinib and pralsetinib), including their breakthroughs in pediatric patients and radioactive iodine-refractory cases. Primary and acquired resistance mechanisms (on-target mutations, bypass activation) and corresponding strategies (next-generation inhibitors, combination therapies) are also analyzed. By integrating recent advances in basic and clinical research, this review provides a comprehensive reference for the precision diagnosis and treatment, mechanistic investigation, and drug development for RET fusion-positive PTC.

RET fusion-positive LUAD comprises biologically heterogeneous subsets defined by fusion partners. KIF5B-RET tend to occur at earlier stages, whereas non-KIF5B are more frequently associated with CDKN2A co-mutations and may derive greater benefit from selective RET inhibition. Immunochemotherapy demonstrates comparable efficacy regardless of fusion partner, highlighting the need for partner-specific therapeutic strategies in RET fusion-positive LUAD.

A combined strategy with continued osimertinib and addition of the selective RET inhibitor selpercatinib was pursued based on biological rationale; however, the short duration of combined treatment precluded a meaningful assessment of clinical benefit. This case highlights the importance of molecular reassessment at progression to identify rare but actionable resistance mechanisms that may significantly influence therapeutic strategy in EGFR-mutant NSCLC.

Although selective RET inhibitors such as selpercatinib and pralsetinib have been clinically approved, the emergence of resistance mutations limits their durable efficacy, underscoring the need for novel therapeutic modalities. We report the design and synthesis of the first RET-targeting HyTTD, compound B2, which achieves 91.4% degradation of CCDC6-RET fusion protein in TPC-1 cells at 10 μM within 48 h. These results not only validate hydrophobic tag tethering as a feasible strategy for RET degradation but also propose a new therapeutic direction for RET-driven cancers.

CCDC86 acts as a key regulator of immune communication in HNSCC, orchestrating APC-T cell interactions and shaping an immunoregulatory niche. By linking antigen presentation with checkpoint signaling, CCDC86 contributes to immune evasion while maintaining local immune activation. These findings highlight CCDC86 as a promising prognostic biomarker and potential immunotherapeutic target in HNSCC.

High-risk patients showed higher sensitivity to dasatinib and staurosporine. The study identified mitophagy-related molecular clusters and developed a prognostic model for PaC. This model may help predict overall survival and guide personalized treatment strategies for PaC patients.

Clinically, newly diagnosed patients, most treated with venetoclax based regimens, achieved high remission rates. Our data delineate the structural diversity of BCL11B rearrangements identified by OGM and show that BCL11B activation cannot be reliably inferred from partner gene identity alone. BCL11B immunohistochemistry as a practical surrogate for assessing BCL11B activation is recommended in routine practice.

Furthermore, we explored the association between CCDC6 alterations and carcinogenesis, as well as their implications for therapeutic interventions. The objective of this review is to furnish the medicinal community with current information and valuable insights pertaining to diseases associated with CCDC6.

Critically, PARP1 inhibition rescues GBP6 loss by suppressing TP63 and prevents ESCC progression. Overall, this study provides a systematic proteomic atlas of ESCC progression, identifies MOD as a pivotal clinical decision point, and proposes PARP1-TP63-GBP6 axis targeting as a novel intervention strategy.

A 67-year-old woman with EGFR exon 19-deleted adenocarcinoma received afatinib followed by long-term osimertinib. CSF liquid biopsy provided actionable, compartment-specific genotyping that outperformed cytology and guided effective retreatment. Incorporating CSF ctDNA into routine evaluation may improve therapeutic alignment across sanctuary sites; when feasible, maintaining EGFR blockade should be considered when CNS involvement is suspected in EGFR-mutated NSCLC in routine practice.

The CCDC6::JAK2 chimeric protein retains the CCDC6 coiled-coil domain and the JAK2 kinase domain. Dimerization of chimeric proteins through coiled-coil domains promotes JAK2 autophosphorylation leading to constitutive activation of the JAK/STAT signaling pathway.
