MYC expression

Blockade of Col1 by siRNA or of ITGA3 by a blocking antibody leads to specific inactivation of the FAK/PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway and impairs malignant tumor behaviors induced by ITGA3. Thus, our data indicate that ITGA3 enhances glycolysis to promote pancreatic cancer growth and metastasis via increasing HIF1α and c-Myc expression in a Col1-dependent autocrine manner, making ITGA3 as a candidate diagnostic biomarker and a potential therapeutic target for pancreatic cancer.

Overall, CXCL12 inhibits tumor growth through several distinct mechanisms: inhibition of cell cycle and migration, as well as impairment of immune checkpoint, thereby stimulating a strong host's immune response. The mechanism(s) that renders CXCL12 a tumor-promoting factor in certain cells and a suppressor in others has remained elusive.

High-grade B-cell lymphomas are subclassified based on morphologic and genetic features. There are differences in the nomenclature and definition of these lymphomas in the WHO-5 and ICC classifications. Distinguishing HGBLs from other mature B-cell lymphomas and B-LBL/ALL is critical so that patients receive appropriate treatment.

Lastly, the overexpression of ATAD2 and TWIST1 enhances cell proliferation, emphasizing their role in colorectal carcinoma progression through MYC activation. Together, these results suggest that ATAD2 is a crucial factor in TWIST1-dependent MYC gene activation, resulting in an active ATAD2-TWIST1-MYC axis that contributes to colon cancer cell proliferation.

Due to the poor prognosis of CDK12-mutant PCa patients and the mediocre response to classic standard therapies, HRD and increased neoantigen levels have provided clinicians with new insights into alternative systematic treatments for this novel PCa phenotype. In this review, we summarize the roles of CDK12 mutations in PCa and discuss their clinical value, suggesting that CDK12 potentially represents a target for further research and the development of clinical strategies for PCa.

Among the three compounds tested, the dual inhibitor NEO2734 was the most potent, decreased the viability of UPS cells in vitro through a regulation of E2F targets and cell cycle and decreased the tumor growth in vivo. Moreover, we identified GPX4 as a gene involved in resistance and showed synergy between BET inhibition and ferroptosis induction. The present study demonstrated that dual BET/EP300 inhibitors have a relevant antitumor activity in a subgroup of UPS characterized by expression of MYC-targets pathway and identified a potent combination therapeutic strategy that deserves further investigation in the clinical setting.

Such rare oncogenic driver genes are not included in standard NGS panels and need to be detected by expanded assays like WES.

Furthermore, a preliminary analysis of an animal study reveals that Capsaicin significantly suppressed the growth of Hep3B cells inoculated in BALB/c nude mice without hurting body weight, liver, and spleen. Our findings provide novel evidence that Capsaicin exerts apoptotic and anti-Warburg effect via c-Myc/MCT4 signaling axis as a potent anticancer candidate for liver cancer therapy.

Compared to the conventional culture, there was (i) a lower expression of VCAM1 in both materials, (ii) a higher expression of CCL4 in collagen scaffolds, and (iii) a lower expression of CXCR4 and MCL1 (transcript variant 2) in collagen scaffolds, while it was higher in a CMC-PEG gel. Hence, culture in the material can suppress the expression of a pro-apoptotic gene (MCL1 in collagen scaffolds) or replicate certain gene expression patterns attributed to CLL cells in lymphoid organs (low CXCR4, high CCL4 in collagen scaffolds) or blood (high CXCR4 in CMC-PEG).

The MFI of CD47 on the cells in the 10058-F4 group (60.07±0.21) was significantly lower than cells in the control group (70.27±1.37, P＜0.001), but the MFIs of PD-L1 (13.50±0.61) and CD155 (829.70±41.19) were significantly higher than those on the cells in the control group (9.23±0.94, P＜0.01; 496.00±4.36, P＜0.001, respectively). c-Myc may promote the expression of MICA/B and CD47 in Y subtype SCLC cells by binding and inhibiting HDAC1, while it may also be involved in inhibiting the expression of PD-L1 and CD155 in SCLC cells.

Additionally, the expression of Nestin, PARP1, L1CAM, Caveolin-1, and c-Myc was downregulated in human GBM cells that survived exposure, suggesting that the treatment had a persistent antitumor effect on these cells.

In further investigations of this issue, we show here that the pharmacological inhibition of MYC in various lymphoma and multiple myeloma cell lines, as well as patient-derived primary tumor cells, enhances their susceptibility to NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity induced by conventional antibodies targeting CD20 (rituximab) and CD38 (daratumumab), as well as T cell-mediated cytotoxicity induced by the CD19-targeting bispecific T-cell engager blinatumomab. In conclusion, MYC overexpressing tumor cells mitigated the efficacy of therapeutic antibodies through several non-overlapping mechanisms. Given the challenges associated with direct MYC inhibition due to toxicity, successful modulation of MYC-mediated immune evasion mechanisms may improve the outcome of immunotherapeutic approaches in B-cell malignancies.

First-line treatment consists of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy with doxorubicin, cisplatin, and methotrexate and surgery. In recent years, RPs have been recognized not only for their traditional role in ribosome assembly but also for their extra-ribosomal functions, many of which are linked to the onset and progression of cancer. In this review we focus on the role and possible interplay of MYC and RPs expression in association with drug resistance and worse prognosis in OS and discuss therapeutic options that target de-regulated MYC, RiBi, or RPs, which are already clinically available or under evaluation in clinical trials.

Furthermore, we observed that overexpression of CXCR3 rescued the impaired tumorigenicity of USP35-deficient JeKo-1 cells, and the mechanism may be related to the fact that USP35 promotes CXCR3 deubiquitination to stabilize its expression. These findings collectively demonstrate the oncogenic role of the USP35-CXCR3 axis in JeKo-1 MCL cells.

The bioinformatic analysis showed that the proteins associated with SP1, MYC, and HIF1A were specifically involved in the regulation of transcription and that various microRNAs (miRNAs) that had been shown to induce either anti- or procancer activity were associated with SP1, MYC, and HIF1A, which suggested that the inhibition of SP1, MYC, and HIF1A could modulate the transcription of both coding and noncoding RNAs and affect cancers. These data overall supported our concept.

An enhancement in inhibition of tumor growth and suppression of c-MYC expression was further confirmed when enzalutamide combined with KRLS-017 in an MDA-MB-453 mouse model.
