Placental growth factor promotes tumour desmoplasia and treatment resistance in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma

Shuichi Aoki et al.

Summary: Elevated levels of placental growth factor (PIGF) in human ICC stromal cells and circulating blood plasma were associated with disease progression. Inhibition of PIGF led to reduction in intratumorous hypoxia and metastatic dissemination, enhanced chemotherapy sensitivity, and increased survival in mice-bearing aggressive ICC.

Type I collagen deletion in αSMA+ myofibroblasts augments immune suppression and accelerates progression of pancreatic cancer

Yang Chen et al.

Summary: The stromal desmoplastic reaction in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma involves significant accumulation of type I collagen (Col1). Deletion of Col1 specifically in myofibroblasts accelerates PDAC progression by increasing Cxcl5 expression in cancer cells and promoting recruitment of myeloid-derived suppressor cells. Targeting CXCR2 and CCR2 may help restrain accelerated PDAC progression in the absence of stromal Col1.

Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts Suppress Cancer Development: The Other Side of the Coin

Zhanhuai Wang et al.

Summary: Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are heterogeneous cells in the tumor microenvironment that can both promote and inhibit tumor development. The activation state of CAFs can vary, leading to different roles in early-stage and advanced-stage cancer. Understanding the diverse functions and origins of CAFs is crucial for developing precise cancer therapies.

Advances in immunotherapy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Motoki Miyazawa et al.

Summary: Despite significant advances in immunotherapy, its efficacy in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma remains limited due to the characteristics of the tumor microenvironment. However, some patients with abundant tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes may benefit from immune checkpoint blockade, suggesting potential for improved outcomes in this difficult-to-treat cancer.

Integrated analysis of multimodal single-cell data

Yuhan Hao et al.

Summary: The study introduces a weighted-nearest neighbor analysis framework to learn the relative utility of each data type in each cell, enabling integrative analysis of multiple modalities. Applied to a CITE-seq dataset, the method constructs a multimodal reference atlas of the circulating immune system and successfully identifies and validates previously unreported lymphoid subpopulations.

TGF-β Signaling: From Tissue Fibrosis to Tumor Microenvironment

Jeff Yat-Fai Chung et al.

Summary: TGF-beta signaling plays crucial roles in inflammatory diseases by regulating immunocytes in tissue fibrosis and accelerating tumor development in cancer. The pleiotropic nature of TGF-beta signaling in generating fibrotic TME, containing CAFs and matrix proteins, remains largely unclear, despite recent studies demonstrating its clinical implications in cancer.

Survival analysis across the entire transcriptome identifies biomarkers with the highest prognostic power in breast cancer

Balazs Gyorffy

Summary: This study presents a ranking of all survival-related genes in chemotherapy treated basal and estrogen positive/HER2 negative breast cancer, providing a reference for future biomarker research. By analyzing hazard rates and p values of genes, the most promising prognostic genes can be identified, helping to focus research on candidates with the most clinical significance.
