TGFβ biology in cancer progression and immunotherapy

Rik Derynck et al.

Summary: TGF beta signaling plays a key role in cancer progression by promoting cancer cell invasion, dissemination, stem cell properties, therapeutic resistance, and the generation of an immunosuppressive environment. Inhibiting TGF beta signaling is considered a crucial avenue to enhance the efficacy of cancer immunotherapies. Understanding and targeting TGF beta signaling mechanisms in tumors and their microenvironment may provide valuable insights for cancer treatment.

Hepatocellular carcinoma

Josep M. Llovet et al.

Summary: Liver cancer, particularly hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), poses a significant global health challenge with rising incidence projected to exceed 1 million cases by 2025. Infection by hepatitis B and C viruses remains a major risk factor for HCC, while non-alcoholic steatohepatitis is emerging as a more common risk factor in Western countries. Advances in systemic therapies for HCC, including immunotherapies and targeted therapies, are expected to revolutionize the management of this disease.

Therapeutic Values of Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells in Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Facts and Hopes

Yijun Wang et al.

Summary: Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) hinder T cell infiltration into tumor sites, restricting the effectiveness of immune checkpoint inhibitors for certain patients, while targeting MDSCs has shown potent inhibitory effects in multiple tumors, including hepatocellular carcinoma. Clinically, the frequency of MDSCs is closely linked to the prognosis and predictive biomarkers of HCC patients, as well as the effectiveness of immune checkpoint inhibitors and tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

Thermal ablation and immunotherapy for hepatocellular carcinoma: Recent advances and future directions

Xiao-Wan Bo et al.

Summary: Hepatocellular carcinoma is a common and deadly cancer, with thermal ablation being an important treatment option for patients who are not eligible for surgery or liver transplantation. Despite rapid advancements in TA technology, recurrence rates remain high, making immunotherapy a promising method to reduce tumor recurrence. The combination of local TA and systemic immunotherapy may be ideal for enhancing treatment efficacy and controlling recurrence.

Transforming Growth Factor-β: An Agent of Change in the Tumor Microenvironment

Christina H. Stuelten et al.

Summary: TGF-beta plays a dual role in tumors, acting as an inhibitor of early-stage tumorigenesis while promoting late-stage tumor progression and metastasis. Through its ability to alter cell differentiation, TGF-beta induces transitions of various cell types, contributing to the progression of epithelial tumors.

The Multifaceted Role of TGF-β in Gastrointestinal Tumors

Fabio Sabbadini et al.

Summary: TGF-beta acts as a tumor suppressor in early stages of cancer, but promotes tumor progression in advanced stages by modifying the tumor microenvironment and facilitating paracrine interactions between cells. Due to its critical role in cancer development and progression, there are ongoing efforts to develop molecules targeting the TGF-beta signaling pathway in various diseases.

The TGF-β Pathway: A Pharmacological Target in Hepatocellular Carcinoma?

Ester Gonzalez-Sanchez et al.

Summary: TGF-beta signaling plays a dual role in HCC, acting as a tumor suppressor at early stages but promoting progression later on. It can also impact the tumor microenvironment and drive immune evasion of cancer cells. Targeting the TGF-beta pathway may be an effective therapeutic option for HCC, but biomarkers are crucial for patient selection.
