MIR106A-5pupregulation suppresses autophagy and accelerates malignant phenotype in nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Qingwen Zhu et al.

Summary: The study revealed that MIR106A-5p suppresses autophagy by targeting BTG3 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma, leading to a malignant phenotype and poor clinical outcomes. This dysregulation is mediated by MAPK pathway activation and transactivation by EGR1 and SOX9.

PRL3 induces polypoid giant cancer cells eliminated by PRL3-zumab to reduce tumor relapse

Min Thura et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that PRL3 promotes the formation of PGCCs, which express stem cell markers and tolerate genotoxic stress induced by chemotherapy by suppressing DNA damage signaling pathways.

An Embryonic Diapause-like Adaptation with Suppressed Myc Activity Enables Tumor Treatment Persistence

Eugen Dhimolea et al.

Summary: Our study reveals that treatment-persistent tumor cells in cancer patients adopt a reversible transcriptional program similar to embryonic diapause, which allows them to resist chemotherapy-induced cytotoxicity. Inhibiting Myc activity or interfering with the diapause-like adaptation could be potential therapeutic strategies against chemotherapy-persistent tumor cells.

Colorectal Cancer Cells Enter a Diapause-like DTP State to Survive Chemotherapy

Sumaiyah K. Rehman et al.

Summary: It has been discovered that cancer cells enter a drug-tolerant persister state to evade treatment, showing similarities with diapause in embryonic development. All cancer cells possess the potential to become drug-tolerant persisters, rather than just a small subpopulation.

RIPK1 Promotes Energy Sensing by the mTORC1 Pathway

Ayaz Najafov et al.

Summary: RIPK1 is found to promote mTORC1 inhibition during energetic stress, mediating the crosstalk between pro-survival and pro-death pathways. Loss of RIPK1 results in high basal mTORC1 activity, defective lysosomes, and susceptibility to low energy levels. Inhibiting mTORC1 rescues lysosomal defects and vulnerability to energetic stress, prolonging survival in RIPK1-deficient neonatal mice.

Paclitaxel: Application in Modern Oncology and Nanomedicine-Based Cancer Therapy

Javad Sharifi-Rad et al.

Summary: Paclitaxel, derived from the bark of the yew tree, is a broad-spectrum anticancer compound used in the treatment of various cancers. Limited solubility and toxicity issues have led to the exploration of nanotechnology and nanoparticles for increased drug half-life, reduced toxicity, and targeted delivery.

Polyploid giant cancer cells, stemness and epithelial-mesenchymal plasticity elicited by human cytomegalovirus

Zeina Nehme et al.

Summary: The study provides evidence for HCMV as a potential oncogenic virus by reprogramming HMECs to generate PGCCs in vitro. Clinical HCMV strains retain the potential to transform HMECs and fit a blastomere-like model of oncogenesis.

Targeting DNA Damage Response and Repair to Enhance Therapeutic Index in Cisplatin-Based Cancer Treatment

Robert Csaba Kiss et al.

Summary: Platinum-based chemotherapies, such as cisplatin, are vital in cancer treatment, but the development of resistance and toxicity pose challenges. Understanding DNA repair pathways and biomarkers for cisplatin resistance can help improve patient stratification and treatment personalization. Current treatments and future strategies are being explored to overcome cisplatin resistance.

Loss of Aurora Kinase Signaling Allows Lung Cancer Cells to Adopt Endoreplication and Form Polyploid Giant Cancer Cells That Resist Antimitotic Drugs

Vural Tagal et al.

Summary: This study reveals that Aurora kinases are crucial in the formation of polyploid giant cancer cells in lung cancer cell lines, leading to endoreplication, multinucleation, and cell growth, which contributes to resistance against cancer therapy.
