Strategic trimodal therapy enhances radiation-induced abscopal response in renal cancer. (PubMed, J Transl Med)
This study presents a novel and effective strategy to induce the abscopal effect through a synergistic combination of targeted drug delivery, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy. The approach offers strong translational potential for improving radioimmunotherapy outcomes in renal and potentially other immunogenic cancers.

KRAS-targeted therapies in cancer: novel approaches and overcoming resistance. (PubMed, BMJ Oncol)
Emerging evidence supports rational combination strategies, including parallel inhibition of epidermal growth factor receptor, protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 11 or SOS1 and vertical blockade of the mitogen-activated protein kinase-extracellular signal-regulated kinase or phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-mechanistic target of rapamycin cascades; immunotherapies such as checkpoint blockade, T-cell receptor (TCR)-T cells, bispecific T-cell engagers or cytokine-armed oncolytic viruses; metabolic interventions targeting macropinocytosis or autophagy; as well as radiotherapy...Precision approaches that integrate multiomics profiling with longitudinal circulating tumour DNA analysis enable biomarker-guided patient selection (eg, based on STK11 and KEAP1 comutations) and support therapeutic adaptations, including sequencing strategies and intermittent dosing. Thus, network-level KRAS interception combined with biomarker-driven, clonal evolution-informed trial design offers a path towards sustained control of KRAS-driven cancers.

Niclosamide suppresses gastric cancer progression through YTHDF2 inhibition-affected lactate metabolic reprogramming. (PubMed, iScience)
Our research revealed comprehensive metabolic alterations in gastric cancer, including upregulated lactate metabolism that promotes tumorigenesis via the lactate shuttle. Niclosamide targets the m6A methylation regulatory protein YTHDF2, which influences genes related to metabolism, indicating its potential as a prospective treatment for GC.

High-Plex Digital Spatial Profiling Identified Prolactin-Induced Protein mRNA Associated With Response and Survival of Everolimus and Letrozole Treatment for Hormone Receptor-Positive/Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2-Negative Advanced Breast Cancer. (PubMed, MedComm (2020))
PIP mRNA expression and specific immune-stromal features are associated with resistance to EVE. These findings suggest the potential of PIP as a spatially resolved predictive biomarker for patient stratification in HR+/HER2- ABC.

EVA1A Regulates Hepatic Lipid Homeostasis by Modulating CD36 Expression and Its Palmitoylation. (PubMed, Research (Wash D C))
Mechanistically, EVA1A deficiency activates mTORC1 (mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1)-PPARγ2 (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ2) signaling to up-regulate CD36 transcription...Collectively, these results establish EVA1A as an essential regulator of hepatic lipid homeostasis, coordinating fatty acid uptake and β-oxidation by modulating CD36 expression and palmitoylation. Therefore, targeting the EVA1A-CD36 axis represents a promising therapeutic strategy for MASLD.

Novel Therapeutic Strategy for Renal Cell Carcinoma: Niclosamide Enhances Sunitinib Efficacy via DNA Repair and Cell Cycle Pathways. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), such as sunitinib and sorafenib, are standard treatments for renal cell carcinoma (RCC). RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and bioinformatic analyses showed that niclosamide modulated critical pathways, including BRIP1- and FANCA-mediated DNA repair and E2F2-regulated cell cycle progression. These findings provide proof-of-concept that niclosamide enhances TKI efficacy through modulation of DNA repair and cell cycle pathways, supporting the rationale for DNA damage response (DDR)-targeted combination strategies in RCC.
