These data implicate a role for MUC1 in antimicrobial defense. Our study provides the groundwork to test the physiological relevance of MUC1 in the urinary tract.

The study's results indicate that MUC1 & 4 individually are crucial for monitoring OSCC and OPMD pathogenesis as the former gives an idea of highly undifferentiated grades while the latter indicated more differentiated tumors and perhaps a better prognosis. Therefore, the two can be useful tumor markers for determining the severity and eliminating it in its early phases.

MUC1 is expressed in both normal and malignant epithelial cells, and plays an important role in the diagnosis, prognosis prediction and clinical monitoring of a variety of tumors and is expected to be a new therapeutic target. This article reviews the structural features, expression regulation mechanism, and research progress of MUC1 in the development of genitourinary cancers and its clinical applications.

We obtained a reliable relationship between the aggressive nature of tumor growth, an increased level of pro-inflammatory cytokines, a low level of free estradiol, and the suppressed expression of salivary MUC1. Among patients with aggressive breast cancer, a high level of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and a low level of free estradiol, there was an inhibition of the expression of pathologically unchanged glycoprotein MUC1 in saliva.

This method can detect A549 exosomes in the range of 1.4E+6 to 4.2E+8 particles/mL and shows high specificity for cell lines with different MUC1 expression. Additionally, it successfully distinguished cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) patients (n=11) from healthy individuals (n=7) in clinical serum assays, demonstrating good performance in real sample detection.

MALAT1 and MUC1 were targets of transcription factor STAT3 and were regulated by STAT3. In general, these new findings indicated that MALAT1/miR-582-5P/GALNT1 axis is involved in the progression of LSCs, illuminating the possible mechanism mediated by O-glycosylated MUC1 via JAK2/STAT3 pathway.

High MUC1 expression in tumor biopsies is associated with recurrence, and MUC1+ CTCs have lower ROS levels than MUC1- CTCs in patient-derived xenograft models. This study demonstrates that therapeutically targeting MUC1-C reduces hypoxia-driven metastasis.

Confocal microscopy revealed that conjugated OMVs specifically bound to and were internalized by MUC1-presenting cells, but not by MUC1-deficient cells. In conclusion, this rapid and efficient bio-ligation system facilitates the display of functional scFv on OMV surfaces, offering a promising approach for targeted delivery to MUC1-expressing cancer cells.

Our results further demonstrate that the MUC1-C/XIST pathway (i) is regulated by TDP-43, (ii) drives stemness-associated genes, and (iii) is necessary for self-renewal capacity. These findings indicate that the MUC1-C/XIST auto-regulatory axis is of importance in cancer progression.

Moreover, we designed a combination drug regimen comprising MUC1-siRNA and a novel ERK inhibitor in vivo and found that the combination of these drugs achieved better results in animals with xenografts than did MUC1 alone. Overall, we discovered a novel regulatory pathway, MUC1/ERK/ITGA2/3, in cervical squamous cell carcinoma that may serve as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target in the future.

Therefore, high-MUC1 tumors may have a better outcome to Napabucasin therapy. We report how MUC1 regulates STAT3 activity and provide a new perspective on repurposing the STAT3-inhibitor Napabucasin to improve clinical outcome of epithelial cancer treatment.

The mRNA-seq showed that knocking down MUC1 affected the gene expression, DEGs mainly enriched in NF-κB and MAPK signalling pathway. MUC1 was highly expressed in A549/TAX cells, and MUC1-EGFR crosstalk with IL-6 may be due to the activation of NF-κB and MAPK pathways, which promote the enrichment of CSCs and lead to paclitaxel resistance.

CK20 and MUC1 expression levels could be assessed by qRT-PCR from total peripheral blood samples of patients with gastric cancer. CK20 levels were correlated to MUC1 levels as well as to tumor size. There was no difference in disease-free survival and overall survival regarding both genetic markers expression in this series.

We also report that a single dose of MUC1 CAR T-cell treatment modestly reduced the pancreatic tumor burden in a syngeneic orthotopic model of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma given at late stage of an established tumor. Taken together, these findings suggested the further development of tMUC1-targeted CAR T cells as an effective and relatively safe treatment modality for various tMUC1-expressing solid tumors.

As confirmation of these results, rescue of MUC1-C downregulation with the MUC1-C cytoplasmic domain (i) reversed the suppression of GSR, LRP8 and GPX4 expression, and (ii) attenuated the induction of ferroptosis. These findings identify SAL as a unique small molecule inhibitor of MUC1-C signaling and demonstrate that MUC1-C is an important effector of resistance to ferroptosis.

In recent years, a number of therapeutic strategies targeting MUC1 have been developed and their value for tumor therapy have been demonstrated experimentally. This review summarizes recent findings on the structure of MUC1, its expression in different tumors and its involved mechanism pathways, with emphasis on new progress in cancer therapy which related MUC1 in the past decade and evaluates their therapeutic effect.

There was no significant difference in Glycodelin expression in luminal and glandular epithelium, uNK cells density or histological dating results between the paired endometrial samples. In conclusion, it is uncertain whether the altered expression of Mucin1 in luminal epithelium alone may have impact on implantation when other markers are not changed.

In the cohort of 38 patients who received first-line palliative chemotherapy, a diminished median overall survival (OS) was observed in the PB group compared to the intestinal group (10.3 vs. 28.3 months, HR = 2.47; 95% CI, 1.23-4.95; p = 0.025). By integrating histopathologic and molecular criteria, we can identify distinct and clinically relevant histomolecular phenotypes in adenocarcinomas of the ampulla of Vater, which could have considerable impact on existing therapeutic approaches.

The histological expression of CA 19-9 may predict prognosis. MUC4, MSLN, ANXA10, and GPC-1 are selectively expressed by neoplastic tissue and may represent a potential histological biomarker of disease.

There were no differences in genetic alternations; however, mucin expression pattern was different. Surgical outcomes were different according to the presence of GGO in the solitary type and the presence of CPA in the pneumonic type. These findings suggested a stepwise progression from solitary to pneumonic IMA.

This is the first study demonstrating KL-6 as a potential novel liquid-based diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in PM.

The combined action of anti-MUC1 and tiliroside was more effective in comparison with monotherapy in the case of C1GalT1, ST3GalT1, FUT4, Gal-3, NF-κB, Akt mRNAs, and Tn antigen, as well as sialyl T antigen expression. The results of our study indicate that applied combined therapy may be a promising anti-gastric cancer strategy.

Ruxolitinib may have an acceptable safety profile in combination with carfilzomib at a dose of 10 mg po bid. Despite early encouraging data with 15 mg, the trial could not conclude the safety of this dose. In this proof-of-principle trial, ruxolitinib may have the potential to overcome refractoriness to carfilzomib.
