Summary: As the first line of host defense against pathogenic infections, innate immunity plays a key role in anti-tumor immunotherapy. The cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) (cGAS-STING) pathway and its activation of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines have attracted attention for cancer immunotherapy. However, the limitations of small molecule STING agonists, such as fast excretion, low bioavailability, nonspecificity, and adverse effects, hinder their therapeutic efficacy. Nanodelivery systems with appropriate characteristics can address these challenges.

HLF regulates ferroptosis, development and chemoresistance of triple-negative breast cancer by activating tumor cell-macrophage crosstalk

Hengyu Li et al.

Summary: Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) promote the activation of hepatic leukemia factor (HLF) in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells through the secretion of transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta 1) and subsequently, HLF transactivates gamma-glutamyltransferase 1 (GGT1) to enhance ferroptosis resistance. This process drives TNBC cell proliferation, metastasis, and cisplatin resistance. Additionally, TNBC cells activate the JAK2/STAT3 axis to induce TGF-beta 1 secretion by TAMs, forming a feed-forward circuit. The combination of HLF and GGT1 values can improve the accuracy of TNBC patient prognosis.

Immune-checkpoint inhibitors: long-term implications of toxicity

Douglas B. Johnson et al.

Summary: Immune-checkpoint inhibitors have improved outcomes for advanced-stage solid tumour patients, but they also carry the risk of chronic toxicities that can affect patients' quality of life. While evidence on chronic toxicities is limited, emerging evidence suggests that they may be more common than previously thought. These toxicities can affect various organ systems and may even lead to fatal outcomes. Research on the effects of immune-checkpoint blockade on other immune processes is also important for cancer survivors.

Cuproptosis-Related Risk Score Predicts Prognosis and Characterizes the Tumor Microenvironment in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Zhen Zhang et al.

Summary: The study finds that FDX1 is downregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and high expression of FDX1 is associated with longer survival time. HCC patients with high cuproptosis-related risk score (CRRS) have significantly lower overall survival (OS) and are enriched in cancer-related pathways. Mutation analyses reveal high mutational frequency of tumor suppressors such as P53 and BAP1, and low mutational frequency of CTNNB1 in high-CRRS HCC patients. Additionally, high CRRS is associated with increased pro-tumor immune infiltrates and high expression of immune checkpoints. Furthermore, CRRS has a high predictive value in determining the efficiency of sorafenib and non-responsiveness to TACE in HCC patients.
