Identification of a tumour immune barrier in the HCC microenvironment that determines the efficacy of immunotherapy

Yao Liu et al.

Summary: By combining spatial transcriptomics with single-cell RNA sequencing and multiplexed immunofluorescence, we identified a tumor immune barrier (TIB) structure composed of SPP1+ macrophages and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) that is associated with the efficacy of immunotherapy. Disrupting the TIB structure may be a relevant therapeutic approach to enhance the therapeutic effect of immune checkpoint blockade in HCC.

Summary: The American Cancer Society predicts that there will be 1,958,310 new cancer cases and 609,820 cancer deaths in the United States in 2023. While incidence trends for most cancers are favorable, prostate cancer saw a significant increase of 3% annually from 2014 to 2019. However, the overall cancer death rate continues to decline due to advances in treatment, with a 33% reduction since 1991.

Construction of TME and Identification of crosstalk between malignant cells and macrophages by SPP1 in hepatocellular carcinoma

Lulu Liu et al.

Summary: Liver cancer, particularly hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), accounts for 6% of cancer-related deaths globally, with unclear understanding of how the tumor microenvironment contributes to HCC progression. Through multiomics analysis, this study identified SPP1 as an immune-related predictor of poor survival in HCC patients, mediating the crosstalk between HCC cells and macrophages. In vitro experiments confirmed that SPP1 can drive the polarization of macrophages to M2-phenotype tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs).

The role of bile acids in carcinogenesis

Tadeja Rezen et al.

Summary: Bile acids are soluble derivatives of cholesterol produced in the liver that undergo bacterial transformation to yield various metabolites. Most bile acid synthesis occurs in the liver, but other tissues, such as the ovaries, can also generate bile acids. After synthesis, hepatic bile acids are transported to bile and released into the intestines. In the large intestine, primary bile acids are converted to secondary bile acids by gut bacteria. The majority of intestinal bile acids are reabsorbed and return to the liver, while a small fraction remains in circulation and has effects on cancer cells. This review discusses the involvement of bile acids in various cancers and emphasizes the importance of using physiologically relevant concentrations of bile acids in research.

Summary: The study compared the latest cancer profiles, trends, and determinants between China and the USA in 2022. China has a higher incidence of lung cancer, while the USA has more cases of breast cancer. Recent years have seen a significant decrease in lung and colorectal cancer rates in the USA, while liver cancer rates have slightly increased. In China, rates for stomach, liver, and esophageal cancer have decreased gradually, but colorectal cancer rates have increased for the whole population.

Summary: In this study, the correlation between coagulation and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was investigated. It was found that coagulation is related to the tumor immune microenvironment (TME) of HCC. A coagulation-related risk score prognostic model was developed to predict the risk and prognosis of HCC patients. This model may have therapeutic benefits for chemotherapy and immunotherapy and can aid in clinical decision making.

Summary: Recent studies have highlighted the crucial role of aberrant regulatory interactions in driving malignant phenotypes of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. Specifically, the long noncoding RNA DLX6-AS1 was shown to promote HCC progression by modulating the miR-513c/Cul4A/ANXA10 axis, affecting cell viability, migration, invasion, and apoptosis. Silencing DLX6-AS1 could inhibit HCC development and provide potential therapeutic targets for HCC treatment.
