High-Grade Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia (CIN) Associates with Increased Proliferation and Attenuated Immune Signaling

Irene Tveiteras ovestad et al.

Summary: RNA sequencing was used to compare the transcriptomic immune-profile of cervical lesions and normal tissue, leading to the identification of genes associated with proliferation and immune response. NCAM1 and CDKN2A are promising markers for identifying women at high risk of developing cervical cancer.

Inhibitor of growth protein 3 epigenetically silences endogenous retroviral elements and prevents innate immune activation

Yanhua Song et al.

Summary: ING3 plays a crucial role in silencing ERVs by establishing EZH2-mediated H3K27 trimethylation modification, leading to the induction of MDA5-MAVS-interferon signaling and functional inhibition of several virus infections. Loss of ING3 results in decreased H3K27 trimethylation enrichment at ERVs, demonstrating an important new function of ING3 in ERV silencing and contributing to innate immune regulation in somatic cells.

Integrating imaging and RNA-seq improves outcome prediction in cervical cancer

Jin Zhang et al.

Summary: This study integrated imaging features and transcriptomic data to extract and validate three major molecular groups in human tumors, revealing that patients with squamous mesenchymal subtype had poorer survival outcomes. High mesenchymal gene expression in cervical cancer cells was positively correlated with spheroid formation and radiation resistance.

HERV-K Gag RNA and Protein Levels Are Elevated in Malignant Regions of the Prostate in Males with Prostate Cancer

Simin D. Rezaei et al.

Summary: Elevated expression of HERV sequences, particularly HERV-K Gag, was observed in prostate cancer cells and malignant prostate tissues compared to normal controls, suggesting their potential utility as diagnostic or prognostic cancer biomarkers. This study also revealed differential expression patterns of HERV-K and HERV-E in malignant and benign regions of the prostate, with HERV-K Gag showing significant upregulation in malignancies. Immunohistochemistry further confirmed the presence of HERV-K Gag protein primarily in malignant tissues, supporting its role as a specific biomarker for prostate malignancy.

Locus-Specific Characterization of Human Endogenous Retrovirus Expression in Prostate, Breast, and Colon Cancers

Margaret C. Steiner et al.

Summary: Research implicates that HERVs are involved in various cancers, with differential expression identified in prostate, breast, and colon cancers. The study highlights potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets in these cancers, providing insights into the role of HERVs in cancer pathogenesis.

Standardized Uptake Value for 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Is a Marker of Inflammatory State and Immune Infiltrate in Cervical Cancer

John M. Floberg et al.

Summary: This study found that SUVmax <11.4 was the most predictive for freedom from progression in cervical cancer patients. High SUVmax is associated with activation of inflammatory pathways and infiltration of myeloid-derived immune cells, particularly monocytes and macrophages. Macrophages contribute to changes in cervical cancer glucose metabolism.

Expression of Endogenous Retroviral RNA in Prostate Tumors has Prognostic Value and Shows Differences among Americans of African Versus European/Middle Eastern Ancestry

Vinay Kumar et al.

Summary: The study found that differences in ERV expression in prostate tumors of patients with different ancestries may be associated with mechanisms of cancer progression. Additionally, the correlation between ERV expression in prostate tumors and the risk of biochemical relapse suggests a potential role for ERVs in cancer progression.

Evidence of the pathogenic HERV-W envelope expression in T lymphocytes in association with the respiratory outcome of COVID-19 patients

Emanuela Balestrieri et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the expression of HERV-W ENV in the blood of COVID-19 patients, finding that it was highly expressed in patients' leukocytes and correlated with markers of T-cell differentiation, exhaustion, blood cytokine levels, inflammatory markers, and pneumonia severity. HERV-W ENV expression also reflected the respiratory outcome of patients during hospitalization, suggesting its potential as a biomarker for predicting disease progression and as a target for further therapeutic interventions.

The development of novel cytochrome P450 2J2 (CYP2J2) inhibitor and the underlying interaction between inhibitor and CYP2J2

Xiangge Tian et al.

Summary: This study identified a novel natural inhibitor Piperine for CYP2J2, leading to the development of much stronger inhibitors 9k and 9l. The inhibition activities of these inhibitors were significantly increased and their interaction mechanisms with CYP2J2 were thoroughly explored, providing potential targets for cancer treatment.
