Integrative Pan-Cancer Analysis Confirmed that FCGR3A is a Candidate Biomarker Associated With Tumor Immunity

Lilin Li et al.

Summary: This study reveals that FCGR3A is highly expressed in various cancers and is associated with prognosis, immune cell infiltration, immune-related genes, and DNA repair genes expression. Additionally, FCGR3A expression is correlated with DNA methylation levels, drug sensitivity, and tumor immune-related pathways.

Novel loss of function variants in FRAS1 AND FREM2 underlie renal agenesis in consanguineous families

Mohamed H. Al-Hamed et al.

Summary: CAKUT are a group of abnormalities affecting the structure of the kidneys or urinary tract. Severe cases may lead to kidney failure or end-stage kidney disease. Renal agenesis, a congenital absence of one or both kidneys, is associated with mutations in renal development genes.

Basement membrane stiffness determines metastases formation

Raphael Reuten et al.

Summary: Basement membrane stiffness, influenced by the ratio of netrin-4 to laminin, plays a crucial role in regulating cancer cell invasion and patient survival, surpassing the impact of pore size. Netrin-4 softens basement membranes, reducing cancer cell invasion potential despite creating larger pores, highlighting its significance in metastasis formation across various tissues.

Cytotoxic CD4+ T cells in cancer: Expanding the immune effector toolbox

David Y. Oh et al.

Summary: Cytotoxic CD4(+) T cells play important roles in both cancer and non-cancer environments, where they can directly kill cancer cells. They are also found in situations like infection and autoimmunity. The cytolytic mechanisms of cytotoxic CD4(+) T cells vary across different disease states.

The Challenges of Tumor Mutational Burden as an Immunotherapy Biomarker

Denis L. Jardim et al.

Summary: Tumor mutational burden (TMB) reflects cancer mutation quantity and correlates with better outcomes of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). However, TMB as a biomarker is imperfect and a composite predictor including critical variables is needed.

Tumor-specific cytolytic CD4 T cells mediate immunity against human cancer

Amelie Cachot et al.

Summary: CD4 T cells displaying cytotoxic phenotypes were identified in different human cancers through mining single-cell RNA-seq datasets. Ex vivo confirmation of the cytolytic tumor-specific CD4 T cells was achieved using peptide-MHCII-multimer technology. The cytotoxic activity of these cells, partially dependent on SLAMF7, was demonstrated to have delayed kinetics compared to classical cytotoxic lymphocytes, and agonistic engagement of SLAMF7 enhanced their cytotoxicity, indicating potential synergy with other cancer immunotherapies.

A polymorphism in the promoter of FRAS1 is a candidate SNP associated with metastatic prostate cancer

Victoria Wang et al.

Summary: A candidate SNP associated with lethal prostate cancer was identified in men of African ancestry through its link to the NF kappa B pathway. This association was found across three well-annotated independent cohorts of Caucasian men, suggesting a potential genetic risk factor for aggressive prostate cancer.

Extracellular matrix and its therapeutic potential for cancer treatment

Jiacheng Huang et al.

Summary: The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a key component of tumors, playing roles in mechanical support, microenvironment modulation, and signaling. Interactions between cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment can lead to ECM stiffness changes and contribute to malignant transformation. Understanding ECM dysregulation in the TME is essential for identifying therapeutic targets for cancer treatment.

Crosstalk between mechanotransduction and metabolism

Patrizia Romani et al.

Summary: Mechanical forces play a crucial role in regulating cell function and behavior by modulating cell metabolism and impacting tissue mechanics. Recent evidence suggests that mechanical cues from the extracellular matrix and cell adhesion complexes influence metabolic pathways, highlighting the reciprocal crosstalk between cell mechanics and metabolism.

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma ontogeny and mechanisms of lethality

Eric Jonasch et al.

Summary: The molecular features that define the initiation and progression of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) are increasingly being understood. Common genomic and chromosomal copy number abnormalities in ccRCC can be categorized into initiating events, drivers of progression, and factors that confer lethality. Mutations in specific genes in ccRCC may affect genomic stability and immune cell populations within tumors.
