Mesalazine Regulates DUSP1, DUSP4, and DUSP5 Expression in Colorectal Cancer: In Vitro and Bioinformatic Evidence. (PubMed, Pharmaceutics)
These findings suggest that mesalazine differentially modulates DUSP gene expression in normal and malignant colon epithelial cells, potentially contributing to its antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic effects through the regulation of MAPK signaling. These results provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the anticancer effects of mesalazine in colorectal cancer.

Conversational AI-Enabled Precision Oncology Reveals Context-Dependent MAPK Pathway Alterations in Hispanic/Latino and Non-Hispanic White Colorectal Cancer Stratified by Age and FOLFOX Exposure. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
Although MAPK alterations are pervasive in CRC, their distribution varies meaningfully by ancestry, age, and treatment exposure. These findings highlight NF1, MAPK3, RPS6KA4, and PDGFRB as potential biomarkers in EOCRC and H/L patients, supporting the need for ancestry-aware precision oncology approaches.

Immune Microenvironment Signatures Predict Response and Survival in Rectal Cancer Patients After Neoadjuvant Chemoradiation. (PubMed, Anticancer Res)
Immune-related gene expression patterns are associated with response to nCRT in rectal cancer. High expression levels of S100A8, SPINK5, ANXA1, FOXJ1, and CLEC7A were indicative of favorable treatment response, and S100A8 and SPINK5 were associated with prognosis. A machine learning-based model composed of immune-related genes showed strong predictive potential. Our results support the use of immune gene signatures to guide personalized therapy in rectal cancer.

Efficient expansion of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes from gynecologic cancer. (PubMed, J Immunol)
Collectively, this study shows that direct stimulation of TILs with anti-CD3 mAb and CD28 co-stimulation achieves efficient expansion of tumor-reactive TILs. Genetic engineering of cytokine signaling in TILs may further enhance TIL functions and replace cytokine administration after TIL infusion.

Dual-specific phosphatase 5 (DUSP5), upregulated in lung adenocarcinoma, as a potential therapeutic target for lung cancer. (PubMed, Biochem Biophys Res Commun)
DUSP5 silencing-induced growth suppression was partially due to G1 cell cycle arrest, associated with p21 upregulation. Collectively, our findings highlight DUSP5 as a potential therapeutic target for lung cancer.

INHBA+ macrophages and Pro-inflammatory CAFs are associated with distinctive immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment in submucous Fibrosis-Derived oral squamous cell carcinoma. (PubMed, BMC Cancer)
The classic OSF-inducing molecule arecoline significantly increases the expression of INHBA (p < 0.0001) in vitro experiments stimulating THP-1 cells...The increased INHBA+Mac and iCAF in ODSCC are associated with the observed more severe TISME. The upregulated INHBA in ODSCC and its interaction with INHBA-ACVR1/ACVR2A/ACVR2B may mediate the modulation effect of INHBA+ Mac and iCAF on Treg differentiation and functionality.
