TFE3 fusion proteins drive TFE3 rearranged renal cell carcinoma progression via PGC-1α-mediated fatty acid oxidation. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
TFE3 fusion proteins enhance FAO and drive TFE3 rRCC progression via the PGC-1α/PPARα/CPT1A axis. Targeting CPT1A could inhibit tumor cell proliferation, suggesting that this pathway may serve as a potential therapeutic target for TFE3 rRCC.

Natural Product Driven Activation of UCP1 and Tumor Metabolic Suppression: Integrating Thermogenic Nutrient Competition with Cancer Metabolic Reprogramming. (PubMed, Biomolecules)
Importantly, many of these compounds also inhibit cancer cell intrinsic metabolism by reducing glycolysis, oxidative phosphorylation, lipid synthesis, and amino acid dependent anaplerosis. This review integrates UCP1 biology, natural product mediated thermogenesis, molecular docking evidence, and tumor metabolic suppression, proposing a unified framework in which natural compounds impose coordinated metabolic pressure on cancer through both adipocyte-driven nutrient competition and direct inhibition of tumor metabolism.

Thyroid hormone signaling causally influences pancreatic disease risk: Evidence from Mendelian randomization and multi-omics integration. (PubMed, Comput Biol Chem)
These findings establish thyroid function as a causal determinant of pancreatitis susceptibility, identify cell type-specific mechanisms including local thyroid hormone inactivation and metabolic reprogramming, and demonstrate that patient-derived organoids better preserve prognostically favorable metabolic phenotypes than cell lines. Thyroid function represents a potentially modifiable risk factor for inflammatory pancreatic disease.

The Occurrence of Gene Fusions in Thyroid Lesions and the Relation With Chronic Lymphocytic Thyroiditis. (PubMed, Pathol Int)
Sex, follicular nodular disease, and Graves' disease were not significant predictors. Our findings suggest an association between fusion-driven thyroid neoplasia and florid CLT, warranting further investigation.

Mitochondrial energy metabolism genes as prognostic biomarkers in clear cell renal cell carcinoma via single-cell and bulk RNA sequencing analyses. (PubMed, Discov Oncol)
In this study, six mitochondrial energy metabolism-related prognosis biomarkers (COX7B, PPARGC1B, NDUFA11, PFKFB4, NDUFV2, and NDUFA7) were screened. A risk model was developed to provide a new reference for the prognosis of ccRCC patients.

Identification of plasma cell infiltration-related gene signatures as a novel prognostic model for clear cell renal cell carcinoma. (PubMed, Clin Exp Med)
Drug sensitivity analysis revealed that tyrosine kinase inhibitors (e.g., ceritinib, imatinib) potently inhibited cancer cell lines in the high PC score group, while inhibitors like acalabrutinib were effective in the low PC score group. Expression of hub genes in KIRC patients was validated using a local cohort and single-cell sequencing. We identified key genes regulating PC infiltration in KIRC and proposed a predictive model that effectively identifies high-risk KIRC patients.

Development and validation of a machine learning-based prognostic model using mitochondrial dysfunction-related genes for colorectal cancer patients. (PubMed, Transl Cancer Res)
This ML-based model using MRGs effectively predicts CRC prognosis, immune microenvironment, and therapeutic response, offering a framework for precision oncology. The 7-gene signature may guide risk stratification and targeted therapy, bridging mitochondrial biology with clinical outcomes.

Intralipid Infusion to Fetal Sheep (Ovis aries) Promotes Differentiation and Lipid Accumulation of Adipose Tissues. (PubMed, FASEB J)
Moreover, Intralipid treatment suppressed the expression of fibrosis-related genes, including Lh2b (lysyl oxidase-like 2b) and P4ha (prolyl 4-hydroxylase). These findings suggest that Intralipid administration at a developmental stage prior to normal term enhances ovine adipogenic differentiation and lipid accumulation which might be protective to premature infants, but it might slightly induce inflammation in the adipose tissues.

Integrated genomic and transcriptomic profiling of glioblastoma reveals ecDNA-driven heterogeneity and microenvironmental reprogramming. (PubMed, Cell Rep)
Specifically, EGFR ecDNA stabilizes tumor-associated macrophages in a hypoxia- and metabolism-driven state, reinforcing a reciprocal AREG-EGFR signaling loop with mesenchymal-like tumor cells. Together, these findings uncover a mechanistic link between ecDNA architecture, transcriptional subtypes, and microenvironmental remodeling, offering critical insights for advancing precision oncology in GB.
