Rucaparib in refractory pleural mesothelioma harboring somatic pathogenic BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation. A report of two cases. (PubMed, Lung Cancer Manag)
Targeted agents did not demonstrate a significant clinical benefit in mesothelioma treatment, nevertheless a small group of patients might harbor potentially actionable somatic mutations, as in homologous repair recombination genes. In this paper we report two cases of patients with heavily pretreated pleural mesothelioma that had a relevant clinical benefit with rucaparib treatment based on somatic BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 mutations detected through next generation sequencing.

TRAF7 in signaling and disease: emerging mechanisms and clinical implications. (PubMed, Mol Med)
This review comprehensively describes the physiological roles of TRAF7 and the pathophysiology of clinical conditions with TRAF7 alterations. We highlight important directions for future work to improve our understanding of the mechanisms underlying TRAF7 related disease, identify prognostic biomarkers that help guide clinical decision making, and potentially identify novel therapeutic targets to expand our treatment options for these patients.

Comparative Gene Expression Analysis of Malignant Mesothelioma and Lung Adenocarcinomas Induced by Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube-7 and Double-Walled Carbon Nanotubes in Rats: Distinct Molecular Signatures and Canonical Pathways. (PubMed, Nanomaterials (Basel))
In addition, the gene expression profiles of the ADCs induced by the three fiber types indicate that both types of thin flexible DWCNTs used in the present study promoted a number of carcinogenic pathways in the rat lung that were also promoted by MWCNT-7, which is a class 2B carcinogen. These results support the conclusion that DWCNTs are carcinogenic in the rat lung and highlight the importance of further assessments of the potential lung carcinogenicity of inhaled thin flexible CNTs.

Circulating stem-like exhausted CD8 T cells point to better outcomes in lung cancer: a brief report. (PubMed, Transl Lung Cancer Res)
As shown previously in PE, Texterm cells in the blood did not correlate with OS. Our results further support the importance of Texstem in the anti-cancer immune response and provide useful evidence for the utility of peripheral blood sampling for future studies examining exhausted T cells (Tex).

Mesothelin in solid tumors: biology, biomarker utility, and therapeutic targeting. (PubMed, Curr Opin Obstet Gynecol)
MSLN is expressed in solid tumor patients, with no differences in expression among histologies. MSLN expression is associated with Fédération Internationale de Gynécologie et d'Obstétrique (FIGO) stage and platinum sensitivity. Higher MSLN expression is detected among primary ovarian cancer patients and correlates with better survival data in HGSOC patients only. According to our data, treatment strategies targeting MSLN should be offered in first line setting rather than in relapse.
