Smarca4 Inactivation Promotes Lineage- Specific Transformation and Early Metastatic Features in the Lung

Carla P. Concepcion et al.

Summary: The loss of Smarca4 results in increased sensitivity to malignant transformation and tumor progression in lung cells, leading to advanced dedifferentiated tumors and higher metastatic incidence. Smarca4-deficient tumors lack lung lineage transcription factor activities and resemble a metastatic cell state, suggesting a critical role of Smarca4 in regulating cellular transformation and metastasis during lung cancer evolution.

Targeting SWI/SNF ATPases in enhancer-addicted prostate cancer

Lanbo Xiao et al.

Summary: The SWI/SNF complex plays a crucial role in chromatin remodeling and is altered in over 20% of cancers. A newly developed proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC) named AU-15330 can degrade the SWI/SNF ATPase subunits, SMARCA2 and SMARCA4, leading to inhibition of tumor growth in prostate cancer cells that are sensitive to this degradation. Impeding SWI/SNF-mediated enhancer accessibility could be a promising therapeutic approach for enhancer-addicted cancers.

SWI/SNF Complex Mutations Promote Thyroid Tumor Progression and Insensitivity to Redifferentiation Therapies

Mahesh Saqcena et al.

Summary: Mutations in SWI/SNF genes are common in thyroid cancers, leading to disease progression and decreased survival. BRAF(V600E)-mutant thyroid cancers exhibit decreased lineage transcription factor expression and impaired iodine incorporation, which can be rescued by MAPK inhibition. Loss of SWI/SNF subunits in BRAF tumors leads to a repressive chromatin state that is insensitive to the redifferentiation effects of MAPK blockade.

FGFR-inhibitor-mediated dismissal of SWI/SNF complexes from YAP-dependent enhancers induces adaptive therapeutic resistance

Yihao Li et al.

Summary: The study reveals an epigenetic mechanism leading to adaptive resistance of triple-negative breast cancer to FGFR inhibitors, involving suppression of chromatin remodeling function, derepression of YAP-associated enhancers, and upregulation of amino acid-induced mTORC1 activity. Combining mTORC1 or YAP inhibitors with FGFR blockade synergistically attenuates the growth of TNBC patient-derived xenograft models, providing potential therapeutic strategies to overcome this mechanism of resistance.

Diffuse Glioma Heterogeneity and Its Therapeutic Implications

James G. Nicholson et al.

Summary: Diffuse gliomas are characterized by high levels of genetic, epigenetic, and environmental heterogeneity, leading to extreme phenotypic heterogeneity at the cellular level and resistance to various therapies. The intratumoral heterogeneity and malignant cell state plasticity in gliomas pose significant challenges to the development of novel targeted therapies.

Targeting ARID1A mutations in cancer

Jaren Mullen et al.

Summary: Mutations in ARID1A, a subunit gene of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex, are common in various cancers and play a crucial role in regulating gene expression related to oncogenesis and tumor suppression. Targeting ARID1A-altered cancers may involve a combination of immune checkpoint blockade and inhibitors of various pathways.ARID1A alterations may also mediate resistance to specific chemotherapies and hormone therapies.

Plasmalemma vesicle-associated protein promotes angiogenesis in cholangiocarcinoma via the DKK1/CKAP4/PI3K signaling pathway

Yi Wang et al.

Summary: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is characterized by high PLVAP expression levels, which are associated with poorer overall survival and higher micro-vessel density in CCA tissues. The DKK1/CKAP4/PI3K/PLVAP pathway plays a crucial role in promoting angiogenesis in CCA, making it a potential target for anti-angiogenic therapy.
