Overexpression of BACH1 mediated by IGF2 facilitates hepatocellular carcinoma growth and metastasis via IGF1R and PTK2

Meng Xie et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that BACH1 plays a tumorigenic role in HCC and can serve as a biomarker for poor prognosis, suggesting a potential therapeutic strategy targeting IGF1R and PTK2 for HCC patients.

Combined Targeting of AKT and mTOR Inhibits Tumor Formation of EpCAM+ and CD90+ Human Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cells in an Orthotopic Mouse Model

Mohamed Moustafa et al.

Summary: This study verifies the impact of targeting CD90 and EpCAM markers in HCC cells with a combination therapy of AKT and mTOR inhibitors. The results demonstrate that combined targeting of AKT and mTOR effectively reduces the proliferation of CD90 and EpCAM positive HCC cells in vitro, but resistance to the treatment occurs in vivo.

Co-administration of MDR1 and BCRP or EGFR/PI3K inhibitors overcomes lenvatinib resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma

Dawei Sun et al.

Summary: This study investigates the mechanism and novel treatments of lenvatinib resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It shows that inhibiting MDR1 and BCRP transporters or targeting the EGFR/PI3K pathway can overcome lenvatinib resistance in HCC. Additionally, lenvatinib plays an important role in inhibiting tumor growth and angiogenesis.

Hepatocellular carcinoma

Josep M. Llovet et al.

Summary: Liver cancer, particularly hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), poses a significant global health challenge with rising incidence projected to exceed 1 million cases by 2025. Infection by hepatitis B and C viruses remains a major risk factor for HCC, while non-alcoholic steatohepatitis is emerging as a more common risk factor in Western countries. Advances in systemic therapies for HCC, including immunotherapies and targeted therapies, are expected to revolutionize the management of this disease.

BACH1 recruits NANOG and histone H3 lysine 4 methyltransferase MLL/SET1 complexes to regulate enhancer-promoter activity and maintains pluripotency

Cong Niu et al.

Summary: This study reveals that the transcription factor BACH1 interacts with OCT4/SOX2/NANOG and MLL/SET1 complexes to maintain pluripotency in mouse embryonic stem cells by recruiting NANOG and MLL/SET1 to chromatin and preserving the trimethylated state of H3K4 to sustain enhancer-promoter activity.

A Novel Therapeutic Target, BACH1, Regulates Cancer Metabolism

Joselyn Padilla et al.

Summary: BACH1 is a transcription factor highly expressed in tumors, promoting invasion and metastasis of cancer cells and presenting a poor outcome for cancer patients. Recent studies have identified novel functional roles of BACH1 in the regulation of metabolic pathways in cancer cells.

BTB and CNC homology 1 (Bach1) induces lung cancer stem cell phenotypes by stimulating CD44 expression

Pan Jiang et al.

Summary: In summary, Bach1 shows great potential in treating lung cancer metastasis and recurrence by activating CD44 and MAPK signaling. Down-regulation of Bach1 suppresses CSC proliferation and invasion while inducing apoptosis, and inhibits tumor-sphere formation and tumor-initiating CSC markers. The interaction between Bach1 and CD44 was confirmed, and Bach1's effects on lung CSCs were associated with the activation of the MAPK pathway, leading to repression of p-p38, p-AKT1, c-Fos, and c-Jun protein levels in lung CSCs. Inhibition of MAPK signaling significantly restrains lung CSC growth and properties induced by Bach1 overexpression.
