Pancancer Fine-Mapping of Mutational Intolerance Identifies CHEK1 as an Immunosuppressive Driver in Lung Adenocarcinoma. (PubMed, Adv Sci (Weinh))
Exemplified by CHEK1, these findings establish MIGs as dual therapeutic targets capable of simultaneously disrupting tumor-intrinsic fitness and remodeling the immunosuppressive niche. This work proposes a novel paradigm for selectively targeting MIGs to eliminate aggressive tumor subclones while minimizing toxicity to normal cells.

Differential expression of CD74 and C1QB in jaw versus long bone osteosarcoma: Insights from animal models, public datasets and clinical cohorts. (PubMed, J Bone Oncol)
Immunohistochemistry demonstrated higher CD74 and C1QB expression in jaw osteosarcoma compared to long bone osteosarcoma in both rats and humans (P < 0.05). The expression levels of CD74 and C1QB were significantly higher in jaw osteosarcoma than in long bone osteosarcoma, suggesting that this differential expression may have clinical relevance for patient survival and warrants further investigation.

Macrophage-Mediated Cellular Communication Networks in Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Adenocarcinoma Revealed by Single-Cell Sequencing. (PubMed, Mediators Inflamm)
This study highlights subtype-specific epithelial signatures, identifies key signaling pathways (e.g., MIF), and pinpoints candidate therapeutic targets (CD44, CD74). These discoveries shed new light on the distinct pathogenic mechanisms of LUSC and LUAD and provide actionable insights to facilitate the clinical translation of subtype-specific personalized immunotherapies.

Single-Cell Mapping Reveals MIF-Centered Immunoregulatory Networks in Colorectal Cancer. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
Differential gene expression confirmed elevated levels of MIF, CD74, CD44, and SPP1 in tumor tissues, while pathway enrichment analyses highlighted cytokine signaling, antigen presentation, and chemokine-regulated immune modulation as key biological processes. Collectively, our study provides a high-resolution map of CRC intercellular communication and identifies MIF-CD74-associated signaling as a central immunoregulatory hub with potential relevance for therapeutic targeting and biomarker development.

NGR-modified cancer-associated fibroblast-derived exosomes deliver resveratrol to inhibit CXCR2/NF-κB signaling in myeloid-derived suppressor cells and reverse immune suppression in liver cancer. (PubMed, Int Immunopharmacol)
In this study, we successfully constructed NGR peptide-modified Exos derived from CAFs for the targeted delivery of Res. This work innovatively proposes a novel immunotherapeutic strategy that targets tumor-associated MDSCs rather than directly killing tumor cells. Mechanistically, we identify and validate CXCR2 as a previously unrecognized functional target of resveratrol in MDSCs, through which resveratrol suppresses NF-κB signaling and reprograms MDSC function. Collectively, NGR-Exos@Res represents a precise and efficient delivery platform capable of reversing the immunosuppressive microenvironment in LC and provides a promising combinatorial strategy to overcome immunotherapy resistance by targeting immunosuppressive myeloid cells.

CD74-Targeted Cathepsin-Inhibitor Antibody-Drug Conjugate Triggers Apoptosis in DLBCL. (PubMed, Cells)
Our findings highlight the potential of another M-GB-ADC as a targeted therapy for overcoming rituximab resistance and treatment failure in DLBCL. This strategy enhances therapeutic efficacy and represents a preclinical proof-of-concept treatment option by directing a cathepsin-inhibitor payload specifically to malignant B cells.

MIF-mediated reprogramming of myeloid lineage within the glioma tumor microenvironment impacts the efficacy of immune stimulatory gene therapy. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
These findings highlight the therapeutic potential of targeting the MIF-CD74 pathway and underscore the importance of integrating immunomodulatory strategies for the treatment of glioma. Mutant IDH1 gliomas exhibit fewer Mo-TAMs and increased Mg-TAMsMutant IDH1 gliomas have less MIF expression via epigenetic reprogramming.Mesenchymal wtIDH1 glioma cells are main source of MIF.MIF inhibition plus immune stimulatory gene therapy extends survival wtIDH1 glioma.
