ERO1L inhibition combined with ER stress-inducing therapies exhibits more effective anti-tumor activity against CRC. ERO1L may serve as a biomarker and therapeutic target for CRC treatment.
Mechanistically, ERO1A ablation impairs the balance between IRE1α and PERK signaling activities and induces lethal unfolded protein responses in tumor cells undergoing endoplasmic reticulum stress, thereby enhancing anti-tumor immunity via immunogenic cell death. These findings reveal how tumor ERO1A induces immunosuppression, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target for cancer immunotherapy.
ERO1L, the expression of which was increased in LUAD tissues, functioned as an oncogene. ERO1L silence significantly attenuated LUAD tumorigenesis, likely via inhibition of Wnt/βcatenin signaling, indicating that ERO1L could be exploited as a promising biomarker in LUAD treatment.
These findings suggest that ERO1L was highly expressed in LUAD tissue, and it promoted the proliferation and metastasis of LUAD by activating the Wnt2/β-catenin signaling pathway.
We also observed that this regulatory axis suppressed angiogenesis in LUAD. Taken together, miR-218-5p/ERO1A axis exerted an imperative role in LUAD cell progression, which provides a valuable clue for the development of LUAD therapeutic regimen.
Overexpression of ERO1L was indicative of a hypoxia-induced immune-suppressive TIME, which was shown to confer resistance to immunotherapy in patients with LUAD. Further studies are required to assess the potential role of ERO1L as a biomarker for immunotherapy efficacy in LUAD.
The results suggested that circ-ACACA may promote CC tumorigenesis and glycolysis by targeting the miR-582-5p/ERO1A signaling axis. Therefore, circ-ACACA may be a promising biomarker for CC diagnosis and treatment.
Our study provides clear insight into the potential role of ERO1L in tumor immunology . Overexpression of ERO1L was indicative of a hypoxia-induced immune-suppressive TIME, which was shown to confer resistance to immunotherapy in patients with LUAD . ERO1L was shown to mediate cytokine and chemokine patterns in the TIME, which were resulted from activations of JAK-STAT and NF-κB signaling pathways.
