Effect of organophosphorus pesticide exposure on the immune cell phenotypes among farm women and their children

Srujana Medithi et al.

Summary: The study aimed to assess the alteration in immune cell phenotypes among FW and FC exposed to pesticides, finding significantly low levels of CD4+, CD8+, and CD16+ in FW compared to control subjects, and significantly high levels of CD19+. Residues of chlorpyrifos and monocrotophos were correlated with specific CD markers in FW. In FC children, CD4+ and CD8+ levels were significantly low and correlated with residues of malathion and monocrotophos in certain age groups. The findings suggest the possibility of immune suppression due to pesticide exposure.

Hematological effects of glyphosate in mice revealed by traditional toxicology and transcriptome sequencing

Yuhong He et al.

Summary: In this study, the molecular mechanisms underlying glyphosate-induced hematotoxicity were explored using classical toxicology methods and RNA sequencing. The results showed that glyphosate-based herbicide significantly decreased leukocyte, neutrophil, lymphocyte and monocyte counts, as well as inhibited colony-forming abilities of hematopoietic stem cells. The MAPK signaling pathway, hematopoietic cell lineage, and cytokine-cytokine receptor interactions were identified as vital pathways involved in glyphosate-induced toxicity in bone marrow cells.

An Epigenetic Role of Mitochondria in Cancer

Yu'e Liu et al.

Summary: Mitochondria play a crucial role in both energy supply and regulation of key metabolites involved in epigenetic regulation. Tumorigenesis is influenced by gene mutations and the tumor microenvironment, with mitochondria and epigenetics being essential for tumor initiation, evolution, metastasis, and recurrence. Targeting mitochondrial metabolism and epigenetics holds promise for cancer treatment.

Advances in the Prevention and Treatment of Obesity-Driven Effects in Breast Cancers

Kuo Chen et al.

Summary: Obesity and chronic inflammation contribute to breast cancer growth and metastasis, involving multiple oncogenic and pro-inflammatory pathways. Diet and exercise interventions are essential in the treatment of obesity-induced breast cancer, improving overall quality of life and minimizing post-treatment complications.

Effects of GSTT1 and GSTM1 polymorphisms in glutathione levels and breast cancer development in Brazilian patients

Leticia Madureira Pacholak et al.

Summary: The study found that polymorphisms in GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes were not associated with breast cancer susceptibility, and did not have a significant impact on GSH levels in patients. Further research is needed to understand the relationship between these polymorphisms and breast cancer.

IL-12 Family Cytokines in Cancer and Immunotherapy

Bhalchandra Mirlekar et al.

Summary: The IL-12 family cytokines are crucial in regulating tumor immune contexture and activating anti-tumor immune responses. Different family members have distinct roles, encompassing both promoting effector responses and inhibitory functions. These cytokines hold promise as candidates for developing immunomodulatory therapeutic approaches.

Global cancer statistics 2020: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries

Hyuna Sung et al.

Summary: The global cancer burden in 2020 saw an estimated 19.3 million new cancer cases and almost 10.0 million cancer deaths. Female breast cancer surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer, while lung cancer remained the leading cause of cancer death. These trends are expected to rise in 2040, with transitioning countries experiencing a larger increase compared to transitioned countries due to demographic changes and risk factors associated with globalization and a growing economy. Efforts to improve cancer prevention measures and provision of cancer care in transitioning countries will be crucial for global cancer control.

Effects of clinicopathological factors on prognosis of young patients with resected breast cancer

Wen Li et al.

Summary: Younger age, PR negative status, tumor grade, and advanced lymph nodes postsurgery are independent prognostic factors of disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in young patients with resected breast cancer. In hormone receptor-positive patients, those with ER+ or PR+ and HER2-/+ status showed poorer prognosis. Risk factor grouping based on certain factors can identify patients with poorer prognosis in young breast cancer cases.

CTLA-4 Expression and Its Clinical Significance in Breast Cancer

Rodrigo Kern et al.

Summary: Breast cancer is the leading cause of women's death among all cancers, with metastasis and therapy-resistant breast carcinoma posing significant challenges in oncology. The expression of immune inhibitory molecules like CTLA-4 in breast cancer cells may contribute to worse outcomes, making it a potential therapeutic target in the field of immunotherapy.

Exposure to organochlorine pesticides as a predictor to breast cancer: A case-control study among Ethiopian women

Seblework Mekonen et al.

Summary: The study identified multiple organochlorine pesticides in the serum of breast cancer patients, with p,p'-DDT and gamma-chlordane being significant predictors for breast cancer. Reducing exposure to such organochlorines may have important public health implications in reducing the incidence of chronic non-communicable diseases like breast cancer.

Tumor-Induced Inflammatory Cytokines and the Emerging Diagnostic Devices for Cancer Detection and Prognosis

Apriliana E. R. Kartikasari et al.

Summary: Chronic inflammation induced by the tumor microenvironment plays a vital role in cancer initiation, progression, and therapy resistance, with cytokines potentially serving as biomarkers. Analyzing circulating cytokines in conjunction with cancer-specific biomarkers could potentially enhance cancer detection, prognosis, and treatment decisions.
