Evaluation of Ancestry-Associated Bias in Tumor Mutational Burden Calculation in the TruSight Oncology 500 Platform (AMP 2024)
Because no significant bias was identified in this limited cohort, an ancestry-based calibration constant or normalization procedure cannot be systematically applied. However, the TMB calling algorithm used by TSO500 relies upon population databases. Therefore, the underlying variants and calculations used to determine TMB should be manually evaluated on a case-by-case basis, particularly for tumors with TMBs close to treatment thresholds in patients of ancestries underrepresented in population databases.

Lenvatinib-resistant hepatocellular carcinoma promotes malignant potential of tumor-associated macrophages via exosomal miR-301a-3p. (PubMed, Ann Gastroenterol Surg)
Activation of Nrf2 signaling by LR HCC cell-derived exosomal miR-301a-3p skewed the transformation of macrophages to the M2 phenotype. Our study provides new findings on the role of miR-301a-3p, suggesting it is a promising therapeutic target to improve HCC lenvatinib resistance.

The relationship between keratin 18 and epithelial-derived tumors: as a diagnostic marker, prognostic marker, and its role in tumorigenesis. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
However, these potential roles of K18 in tumors have not been fully summarized. In this review, we focus on the relationship between K18 and epithelial-derived tumors, discuss the value of K18 as a diagnostic and prognostic marker, and summarize the interactions of K18 with various related proteins in tumorigenesis, with examples of simple epithelial tumors such as lung, breast, liver, and gastrointestinal cancers.

Lactobacillus Plantarum and its Derived Bacteriocin Exhibits Potent Antitumor Activity against Esophageal Cancer Cells. (PubMed, Int J Mol Cell Med)
Furthermore, there was a significant increase in apoptosis induction and in caspase-3 activity in cancer cells treated with L. plantarum and bacteriocin compared to untreated cells. In conclusion, L. plantarum and its bacteriocin show potent killing effect against esophageal cancer cells with no effect against normal cells indicating safety and selectivity with activation of apoptosis via caspase-3 induction suggesting potential clinical advantage.

Histopathology, immunohistochemistry (diffuse positivity for S100 and weak positivity for synaptophysin) and molecular fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) study (translocation involving the chromosomal region 2212.1-q12.2 which harbors EWSR1 gene) confirmed the diagnosis of GNET.

Histone MARylation regulates lipid metabolism in colorectal cancer by promoting IGFBP1 methylation. (PubMed, Exp Cell Res)
Accordingly, IGFBP1 may function as a tumor suppressor gene, while H3R117 MARylation may promote CRC development. Our study findings enrich the available data on epigenetics of CRC and provide a new idea and experimental basis for H3R117 MARylation as a target in CRC treatment.

ZBTB7A as a therapeutic target for cancer. (PubMed, Biochem Biophys Res Commun)
Notably, the review concludes with a summary of the recent applications of targeting ZBTB7A in clinical treatments through gene silencing, immunotherapy and chemotherapeutic approaches to halt or slow tumor progression. We focus on the functional role and regulatory mechanisms of ZBTB7A in cancer with the goal of providing new insights for the development of more effective cancer therapeutic strategies.

β-Klotho as novel therapeutic target in Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD): A narrative review. (PubMed, Biomed Pharmacother)
We furtherly described that KLB exhibits protective effects against metabolic disorders by acting in an FGF-dependent and independent manner thus triggering the hypothesis that KLB soluble forms may play a critical role in preserving liver health. Therefore, targeting KLB may provide promising strategies for treating MASLD, as supported by experimental evidence and ongoing clinical trials.

A select thiosemicarbazone copper(II) complex induces apoptosis in gastric cancer and targets cancer stem cells reducing pluripotency markers. (PubMed, Eur J Med Chem)
Additionally, [Cu(L1)₂] is equally active on gastric cancer stem cells and tumor cells resistant to cisplatin. More importantly, stem cells treated with [Cu(L1)₂] show a downregulation of pluripotency markers such as TWIST, NANOG and OCT4. Overall, our results with [Cu(L1)₂] prompt a significant advancement in the development of rational-designed pharmaceuticals for combating cancer.
