FOXK1 induced upregulation of KIF20A promotes hepatocellular carcinoma progression via Wnt/β-Catenin/EMT signaling. (PubMed, Cell Mol Life Sci)
Wnt pathway activator SKL2001 and inhibitor LGK974 confirmed KIF20A's role in tumor progression...ChIP-seq and promoter assays verified FOXK1's direct binding to the KIF20A promoter, activating its transcription. In conclusion, KIF20A serves as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker promoting HCC progression via Wnt/β-catenin signaling, regulated by FOXK1, offering new therapeutic targets.

RET Fusion-Positive Lung Adenocarcinoma: Partner-Specific Clinicopathological Characteristics, Co-Mutation Profiles, and Implications for Targeted and Immunotherapy. (PubMed, Lung Cancer)
RET fusion-positive LUAD comprises biologically heterogeneous subsets defined by fusion partners. KIF5B-RET tend to occur at earlier stages, whereas non-KIF5B are more frequently associated with CDKN2A co-mutations and may derive greater benefit from selective RET inhibition. Immunochemotherapy demonstrates comparable efficacy regardless of fusion partner, highlighting the need for partner-specific therapeutic strategies in RET fusion-positive LUAD.

Triple-positive non-small cell lung cancer harboring EGFR mutation, ALK rearrangement, and high PD-L1 expression: a case report and literature review. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
The patient received first-line osimertinib combined with pemetrexed/cisplatin, achieving durable disease control for 17 months...Treatment was switched to alectinib, leading to significant tumor regression and partial response. This case illustrates that in triple-positive NSCLC, initial EGFR-TKI combined with chemotherapy can achieve long-term control, while dynamic molecular profiling at progression is essential for identifying resistance mechanisms. Sequential targeted therapy guided by NGS remains a cornerstone for precision management in this complex molecular subtype.

SH3BP5L triggers the RAB11A-regulated integrin recycling network implicated in breast cancer metastasis. (PubMed, J Clin Invest)
This trafficking governed key metastatic features of TNBC, including β1 integrin recycling and α3β1 integrin surface exposure. Inhibition of SH3BP5L or its GEF activity reduced cell spreading in zebrafish and lung metastasis in mouse models, revealing a previously unidentified driver of BC dissemination and a potential therapeutic vulnerability.

Tumor Lysis Syndrome Induced by Selpercatinib in Rearranged During Transfection (RET) Fusion-Positive Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer. (PubMed, Cureus)
Selpercatinib was discontinued, and treatment with intravenous hydration, febuxostat, and furosemide was initiated. This case highlights that potent targeted therapy can trigger TLS even in the absence of conventional risk factors. Early recognition and aggressive management are essential to mitigate risk and allow continuation of effective treatment.

Basic Science and Pathogenesis. (PubMed, Alzheimers Dement)
Our results show that the glutamatergic astrocyte signature varies in AD mouse models, with significant differences in their enrichment and gene expression profiles. The APP/PS1 and hAβKI models showed substantial enrichment of this astrocyte subtype, whereas the 5xFAD model exhibited minimal representation. The significant downregulation of genes related to vesicle trafficking suggests potential impairments in glutamatergic astrocyte function. Our findings highlight the role of a specific astrocyte subtype in AD pathogenesis. Further single-cell analysis will provide more information at the cellular level.
