In conclusion, aberrant mucin signatures reflect distinct molecular pathways in (pre)malignant GIT lesions and highlight their potential utility as biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Schematic representation of the main findings regarding altered mucin signalling in several precancerous lesions (adenomatous (i.e., conventional pathway 1) and serrated polyps (i.e. pathway 2)) and small intestinal (SIA) and colorectal (CRC) adenocarcinomas and its clinicopathological significance (outcome, anatomical location (proximal/distal), molecular subtypes (MSI, (non)-mucinous).
In vitro cell experiments showed that the knockdown of MAST1 in Hela cells reduced cell invasion ability and downregulated the p-AKT and p-P38 signaling pathways. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the role of MAST1 in the invasion of CC, affecting the occurrence and development of malignant tumors in the cervix through the p-AKT and p-P38 classical signaling pathways, and can serve as a potential therapeutic target for patients with CC.
In conclusion, our findings suggest MUC3A/MUC4/MUC13/MUC16 as robust diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers and liquid biopsy as a noninvasive approach to be integrated into daily clinical practice. This analysis can also be extended to other malignancies.
Therapeutic strategies targeting anoikis and NETosis, including inhibitors of integrins, EGFR, and NET components (e.g., DNase I, CXCR2 antagonists), inhibitors of autophagy (e.g., CQ, HCQ, azithromycin) are discussed. This comprehensive analysis advances understanding of CRCLM pathogenesis and provides novel perspectives for targeted interventions.
The study successfully identified and validated a panel of biomarkers specific to pancreatic cancer, with potential applications in early diagnosis and treatment. The findings highlight the importance of multi-omics data integration in cancer research and the potential of personalized medicine in improving patient outcomes. The in-silico drug targeting analysis provides a foundation for the development of novel drugs for PanCa treatment. Hence TFF1, S100P, MUC13, and UGT1A1 showcased themselves as most promising biomarkers and novel drug targets.

UGT1A1 (UDP glucuronosyltransferase family 1 member A1) • CD36 (thrombospondin receptor) • MUC13 (Mucin 13) • TFF1 (Trefoil Factor 1) • S100P (S100 calcium binding protein P)
Finally, the hub gene COL5A1 was obviously correlated with B cells memory, dendritic cells activated, macrophages M0, macrophages M2, plasma cells, T cells follicular helper in GC. This study reveals a novel tumor differentiation grade-related genes signature, and COL5A1 represents a promising biomarker in GC.

CXCR4 (Chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 4) • COL1A1 (Collagen Type I Alpha 1 Chain) • MUC13 (Mucin 13) • MAGEA3 (MAGE Family Member A3) • COL5A1 (Collagen Type V Alpha 1 Chain) • RGS2 (Regulator Of G Protein Signaling 2)
Finally, we leveraged the emerging spatial transcriptomic to validate the co-expressed pair in situ. A standalone R package (https://github.com/Bin-Chen-Lab/bsAbsFinder).
Mass spectrometry of the products revealed a ligand glycan, tri-sialylated T antigen. These results indicate that Siglec-7 interaction with its ligand generates bidirectional signals in NK and cancer cells, leading to the efficient escape of cancers from host immune surveillance.
RUNX1 promotes CRC progression by upregulating MUC13 and activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. This RUNX1-MUC13 axis represents a potential therapeutic target for managing CRC.

While traditional markers are limited by their elevated levels in non-cancerous conditions, mucins offer a new possibility for targeted treatment in ovarian cancer. This review comprehensively described the potential of mucins for the generation of ADC therapy, highlighting their importance in the quest to improve the outcome of ovarian cancer patients.
The prepared nanomedicine could inhibit LCSCs through JNK-ERK signaling pathway-mediated autophagy inhibition and exert potent antitumor effect both in vitro and in vivo. Together, this study provides a promising peptide-based nanomedicine for high-performance HCC treatment.
The IL-2 level of the AG type of the FUT1 gene was obviously higher than that of the GG type of Pudong white pigs, the IL-2 level of the AA type of the MUC4 gene was dramatically higher than that of the AG type, and the IgG level of the GG type of the MUC13 gene was apparently higher than that of the AG type. The results of this study are of great significance in guiding the antidiarrhea breeding and molecular selection of Shanghai white pigs, Fengjing pigs, Shawutou pigs, Meishan pigs and Pudong white pigs and laying the foundation for future antidiarrhea breeding of various local pig breeds in Shanghai.
