Yolk Sac Differentiation in Endometrial Carcinoma: Incidence and Clinicopathologic Features of Somatically Derived Yolk Sac Tumors Versus Carcinomas With Nonspecific Immunoexpression of Yolk Sac Markers. (PubMed, Am J Surg Pathol)
INI1 loss was not associated with yolk sac morphology or immunomarker expression in the endometrium, and BRG1 loss was rare. All patients with MMR-deficient carcinomas with yolk sac immunoexpression +/- morphology were disease-free on follow-up, whereas the majority of MMR-intact cancers showed aggressive disease.

20(S)-Ginsenoside Rh2 inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma by suppressing angiogenesis and the GPC3-mediated Wnt/β‑catenin signaling pathway. (PubMed, Acta Biochim Biophys Sin (Shanghai))
Collectively, our findings shed light on the molecular mechanisms through which Rh2 modulates HCC growth, which involve the regulation of angiogenesis and the glypican-3/Wnt/β-catenin pathway. These insights may pave the way for the development of novel therapeutic strategies targeting these pathways for the treatment of HCC.

The results show that circulating extracellular vesicle GPC3 (eGPC3) levels are a reliable marker for GPC3 expression in tumor, opening up new avenues for tumor diagnosis. We created an eGPC3 assay based on the CRISPR-Cas13a system, and successfully study the significance of extracellular vesicle GPC3 markers in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Artificial intelligence (AI)-powered quantification of glypican-3 (GPC3) expression facilitates patient selection for GPC3-targeted therapy in solid tumors (AACR 2024)
FFPE slides were stained for GPC3+ (GC33, Ventana), PD-L1+ (22C3, Dako) cells and then scanned at 20x using the Aperio Versa8 scanner... Here we profiled GPC3 expression across tumor types and showed high level of expression in HCC followed by SQ-NSCLC. We have established an AI-powered digital pathology platform that can provide a standardized, scalable, and reproducible method of characterizing GPC3 positivity to support further patient selection in clinical study.

The role and mechanism of HIF-1α-mediated glypican-3 secretion in hypoxia-induced tumor progression in hepatocellular carcinoma. (PubMed, Cell Signal)
Hypoxia promoted secretion of exosomal GPC3 through the activation of HIF-1α. GPC3-deficient exosomes inhibited the proliferation, migration and EMT of HCC cells via the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, and suppressed the angiogenic potential of HUVECs. This provided a novel understanding of the role of exosomal GPC3 in HCC progression.

These data indicated that GPC3 peptide-specific CD8 T cells had potent antitumor activity against TYST tumor, particularly for combined treatment with the peptide, which was partially dependent on the intratumoral cGAS/STNG signaling. GPC3 peptide vaccine may be valuable for the combination treatment of TYST.

Importantly, STK-009 induced the expression of cytotoxic machinery, pro-survival, and proliferative genes in tumor-infiltrating SYNCAR-002 (figure 3). Conclusions These findings validate that the orthogonal IL-2 platform has the potential to improve the efficacy and durability of CAR T therapy for solid tumor targets such as GPC3 by selectively expanding CAR-T cells in vivo and activating CAR-T cells in a hostile tumor microenvironment.
