Lars2-signaling mediates platinum resistance by accumulating cancer stem cell population and suppressing anti-tumor immunity. (PubMed, Drug Resist Updat)
Importantly, we developed an effective therapeutic strategy combining carboplatin with LARS2 signaling pathway inhibition, which successfully reversed platinum resistance and restored PD-1 checkpoint blockade sensitivity in preclinical models. These findings not only advance our understanding of chemotherapy resistance, but also provide a translatable therapeutic framework for breast cancer and other platinum-treated malignancies.

Constructing a novel mitochondrial metabolism-related genes signature to evaluate tumor immune microenvironment and predict survival of colorectal cancer. (PubMed, Front Med (Lausanne))
Our findings indicate that the risk model associated with mitochondrial metabolism may serve as a dependable prognostic indicator, facilitating tailored therapeutic strategies for CRC patients. TMEM86B promotes colorectal cancer progression, and its downregulation inhibits tumor growth in vitro and in vivo.

LARS2 DNA methylation predicts the prognosis in colon cancer. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
Silencing of LARS2 decreased the proliferative capacity and increased the apoptosis rate of HCT116. Our findings suggest that LARS2 methylation could affects colon cancer development.

Comprehensive analysis of a palmitoylation-related prognostic signature in colorectal cancer: Implications for immune therapy and personalized treatment. (PubMed, Oncol Lett)
In conclusion, the present study confirmed the role of KRT8P12 as a palmitoylation-related gene in regulating CRC. In addition, the palmitoylation-associated risk signature may offer a promising tool for prognostic prediction in CRC and could guide personalized treatment strategies, including immune checkpoint inhibitors and targeted therapies.

Discovering biomarkers associated with infiltration of CD8+ T cells and tumor-associated fibrosis in colon adenocarcinoma using single-cell RNA sequencing and gene co-expression network. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
The prognostic model demonstrated a significant association with CD8+ T cells, suggesting that these genes could serve as potential biomarkers and targets for gene therapy in treating COAD. This study has identified three key genes associated with CD8+ T cells and the prognosis of COAD, providing new prognostic biomarkers for diagnosing and treating COAD.

Isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase 2 promotes pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma proliferation and metastasis by stabilizing β-catenin. (PubMed, Genes Dis)
In summary, IARS2 facilitates PDAC proliferation and metastasis by stabilizing β-catenin, which leads to WNT/β-catenin activation. IARS2 serves as an underlying prognosis marker and a potential therapeutic target for PDAC.

Joint models reveal genetic architecture of pubertal stage transitions and their association with BMI in admixed Chilean population. (PubMed, Hum Mol Genet)
Further, higher individual Native American genetic ancestry proportions predicted a significantly earlier puberty onset in boys but not in girls. Finally, the joint models identified a longitudinal BMI parameter significantly associated with several Tanner stages' transitions, confirming the association of BMI with pubertal timing.

Investigating gene signatures associated with immunity in colon adenocarcinoma to predict the immunotherapy effectiveness using NFM and WGCNA algorithms. (PubMed, Aging (Albany NY))
In summary, this study uncovers the immune gene expression patterns in COAD, establishes a robust prognostic model, and elucidates the molecular mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets for COAD liver metastasis, thereby possessing significant theoretical and clinical implications. These findings are anticipated to offer substantial support for both the treatment and prognosis management of COAD patients.
