Assessing chordoma heterogeneity: insights from primary and recurrent expression patterns (EORTC-NCI-AACR 2024)
Our initial findings distinguish recurrent chordomas from their primary counterparts based on cancer gene expression changes that encourage growth and proliferation, remodel the bone matrix environment, and evade the immune system. Continued investigation is needed to assemble a broader patient sample. Examining the pathways and genetic mutations across the chordoma disease progression may reveal novel therapeutic avenues for recurrent chordomas.

Subtyping of Small Cell Carcinoma Remains Unchanged After Recurrence, Supported by RNA Expression and Highly Concordant IHC Approaches (USCAP 2024)
The majority of recurrent SCLC retained their pre-treatment subtype, by both RNA expression and IHC evaluation. It suggests subtype is an intrinsic characteristic of SCLC regardless of treatment. IHC subtyping demonstrated high concordance with RNA expression thus can be utilized effectively in pathology practice.

Enhanced Genomic Stability in Monomorphic Post-Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorders Is Driven By Distinct Mechanisms Stratified By EBV Status (ASH 2023)
Like HIV associated DLBCL, these results show that PTLD is more genomically stable than IC-DLBCL, and that genomic stability is further enhanced in EBV(+)PTLD which have increased expression of UPS related genes. In contrast, EBV(-)PTLD have increased expression of DNA damage repair genes, including RAD51. In summary, monomorphic DLBCL PTLD tumors have enhanced genomic stability that appears to be mediated by two distinct mechanisms stratified by EBV status.

Fibroblast Growth Factor 11 (FGF11) Promotes Progression and Cisplatin Resistance Through the HIF-1α/FGF11 Signaling Axis in Ovarian Clear Cell Carcinoma. (PubMed, Cancer Manag Res)
Mechanically, FGF11 was regulated by hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) to modulate the DDP sensitivity. FGF11 was highly expressed in platinum-resistant OCCC tissues, promoting progression and resistance to DDP through the HIF-1α/FGF11 signaling axis.

Beyond the MAPK Pathway: Unraveling the Importance of RKIP in Lung Adenocarcinoma (EACR 2023)
Further, in silico data revealed that loss of RKIP was associated with worse overall survival in adenocarcinoma patients.ConclusionAltogether, these data show that RKIP's loss of expression induces lung adenocarcinoma aggressiveness. Importantly, this work pointed to the importance of exploring the role of RKIP, together with the tumor microenvironment and the immune system, to fully understand the consequences of RKIP's loss in tumorigenesis.

STIM2, A CALCIUM CENSOR POTENTIALLY INVOLVED IN THE PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF ACUTE MYELOID LEUKEMIA (EHA 2023)
Our data evoke a negative prognostic role of STIM2 in AML. We highlight a role of STIM2 in cell proliferation and survival via protection against genotoxic stress and p53-dependent control of apoptosis and cell cycle in leukemic and myeloid cells. STIM2 acts as a Ca 2+ censor, detecting reticular calcium depletion and opening of ORAI channels at cell membrane.

LONG-TERM FOLLOW-UP AND GENE EXPRESSION PROFILES ASSOCIATED WITH OUTCOME IN PATIENTS WITH RELAPSED AGGRESSIVE B- OR T-CELL LYMPHOMAS TREATED IN THE NORDIC P[R]EBEN TRIAL (ICML 2023)
"The research was funded by: Servier Laboratoires Introduction: The Nordic Lymphoma Group (NLG) performed a dose-finding/expansion trial evaluating pixantrone, etoposide, bendamustine and, in CD20+ lymphomas, rituximab (P[R]EBEN) in patients (pts) with relapsed diffuse large B-cell (DLBCL) or peripheral T-cell (PTCL) lymphomas. The P[R]EBEN regimen is feasible on an out-pt basis and shows encouraging response rates and DoR. In PTCL, we observed an overrepresentation of AML/MDS, possibly related to the use of etoposide in multiple treatment lines. Gene expression analysis identified signatures and single genes predictive of long-term response."

Peposertib, a DNA-PK inhibitor, enhances the antitumor efficacy of anthracyclines in triple-negative breast cancer models in vitro and in vivo (AACR 2023)
In vivo efficacy was assessed in cell-line derived and patient-derived xenograft models. When administered in combination with doxorubicin, epirubicin, and etoposide, peposertib exhibited synergistic antiproliferative activity in TNBC cell lines in vitro. Our findings suggest that cotreatment with the DNA-PK inhibitor peposertib can enhance the efficacy of anthracycline/TOPO II-based chemotherapies.

Pre-clinical activity of the Wnt/Beta-catenin pathway inhibitor RXC004 in models of biliary tract cancer (AACR 2023)
Background: RXC004 is a potent and selective inhibitor of the Wnt pathway regulator Porcupine, and is currently being investigated in phase 2 studies in patients with advanced cancers, including Biliary Tract Cancers (BTCs) +/- Pembrolizumab (NCT04907851 and NCT04907539). These data demonstrate that (1) RXC004 is efficacious in pre-clinical PDX models of BTC, (2) RXC004 induces multiple PD effects in BTC models at the level of gene expression, cell proliferation and cell differentiation, and (3) PDX models of BTC can be clustered based on baseline transcriptomic profiles of Wnt signalling genes and predict RXC004 sensitivity.

Immunohistochemistry and Gene Expression Studies of Different Mesothelioma Histologic Subtypes, Suggesting Novel Treatment Considerations for Biphasic/Sarcomatoid Mesothelioma and High-Grade Epithelioid Mesothelioma (USCAP 2023)
We found that HG EMM has an IHC and gene expression profile deviated from LG EMM and positioned between LG EMM and BMM. SMM, BMM, and HG EMM have higher EZH2 and PD-L1 expression. Pathway dysregulation was observed in those subtypes, indicating potential therapeutic strategies.

Transcriptional and Clinicopathological Implications of Granzyme B (GZMB)-negativity in Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (USCAP 2023)
GEP and IHC showed that GZMB expression is highly heterogeneous in ENKTLs and associated with activation of JAK-STAT3 signaling and higher MYC expression. GZMB-negative ENKTL has distinct GEP and advanced clinical stage, although not prognostically significant in our dataset. These findings imply that GZMB is a potential biomarker mirroring a certain molecular subtype of ENKTL.
