Metabolic determinants of tumour initiation

Julia S. Brunner et al.

Summary: This review emphasizes the important role of metabolic pathways in influencing the early stages of tumor development, highlighting the metabolic alterations present in cancer cells compared to normal cells. It discusses how these metabolic changes can support the growth and survival of tumors, as well as their potential impact on gene expression programs that promote malignant progression. The review also explores the factors, both intrinsic and extrinsic, that contribute to tumor initiation and underscores the significance of understanding how metabolic pathways control this process in the design of interventions to limit tumor incidence.

The evolving tumor microenvironment From cancer initiation to metastatic outgrowth

Karin E. de Visser et al.

Summary: Cancers consist of tumor cells and various non-cancerous cells in an altered extracellular matrix, forming complex ecosystems. The tumor microenvironment (TME) includes different immune cell types, cancer-associated fibroblasts, endothelial cells, pericytes, and other tissue-resident cells, all of which play critical roles in cancer pathogenesis. The composition and function of the TME can vary depending on the organ, cancer cell features, tumor stage, and patient characteristics. Understanding the interplay between tumor cell-intrinsic, cell-extrinsic, and systemic factors is crucial for developing effective anti-cancer treatments.

Integrin αvβ3 Is a Master Regulator of Resistance to TKI-Induced Ferroptosis in HER2-Positive Breast Cancer

Aadya Nagpal et al.

Summary: Intrinsic or acquired resistance to targeted therapies is a major cause of treatment failure in breast cancer patients. A study found that the cell adhesion receptor alpha v beta 3 integrin is a critical mediator of resistance to HER2-targeting tyrosine kinase inhibitors. The receptor contributes to persistent activation of AKT signaling and the re-wiring of iron and antioxidant metabolism, providing increased protection from ferroptosis. Targeting alpha v beta 3 integrin represents a potential strategy to reverse resistance and improve patient outcomes.

T Cells Promote Metastasis by Regulating Extracellular Matrix Remodeling following Chemotherapy

Jozafina Haj-Shomaly et al.

Summary: Metastasis is a major cause of cancer-related deaths. This study found that chemotherapy can induce a host-mediated mechanism that promotes remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM), which facilitates cancer cell seeding and structural changes in the lungs. The research also revealed that the ECM remodeling is mediated by CD8 T cells expressing the enzyme lysyl oxidase (LOX). This study highlights the role of immune cells in regulating the ECM and metastasis following chemotherapy, suggesting that inhibiting chemotherapy-induced ECM remodeling may be a potential therapeutic strategy for metastatic cancer.

Microenvironment-mediated cancer dormancy: Insights from metastability theory

Sadra Bakhshandeh et al.

Summary: Dormancy is a common protective mechanism observed in nature and plays a significant role in cancer metastasis. Recent studies have highlighted the involvement of the microenvironment and the interplay between intracellular and extracellular cues in inducing and maintaining the dormant state. Understanding the physical perspective of tumor growth and dormancy can provide a global description of these phenomena, independent of specific details of the systems.

Liver tumor-initiating cells initiate the formation of a stiff cancer stem cell microenvironment niche by secreting LOX

Wei Zhao et al.

Summary: This study identifies crosslinked collagen mediated by LOX as a crucial component of the microenvironment niche for liver tumor-initiating cells. Through the ITGA7-FAK-ERK1/2 signaling pathway, LOX is involved in regulating the traits of tumor-initiating cells. These findings provide insights into the composition and remodeling mechanisms of the microenvironment niches of tumor-initiating cells.

Targeting extracellular matrix stiffness and mechanotransducers to improve cancer therapy

Yangfu Jiang et al.

Summary: The cancer microenvironment plays a critical role in tumorigenesis and cancer progression. The interaction between the extracellular matrix (ECM) and tumor and stromal cells contributes to cancer cell proliferation, migration, invasion, angiogenesis, and immune evasion. Both ECM stiffness itself and ECM stiffening-induced mechanical stimuli can activate cell membrane receptors and mechanosensors, thereby modulating the malignant phenotype of tumor and stromal cells. Understanding how ECM stiffness regulates tumor progression is crucial for the development of new therapeutics.

Inhibition of Integrin αVβ3 Signaling Improves the Antineoplastic Effect of Bexarotene in Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma

Florencia Cayrol et al.

Summary: This study reveals the dual effects of levothyroxine in CTCL treatment. It can decrease the antineoplastic effect of bexarotene in isolated CTCL cells, but supplementation in preclinical models is necessary to avoid suppression of lymphoma immunity. Additionally, the inhibition of integrin alpha V beta 3 can enhance the antineoplastic effect of bexarotene and maintain lymphoma immunity.

Integrin β3 Promotes Resistance to EGFR-TKI in Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer by Upregulating AXL through the YAP Pathway

Qi Sun et al.

Summary: In this study, it was found that Integrin β3 upregulates the expression of AXL through the YAP pathway, leading to resistance to EGFR-TKI in NSCLC. Combination therapy of AXL inhibitors and EGFR-TKI may benefit advanced NSCLC patients positive for Integrin β3.

DCLK1 promotes colorectal cancer stemness and aggressiveness via the XRCC5/COX2 axis

Jee-Heun Kim et al.

Summary: This study identifies a novel mechanism by which DCLK1 regulates the aggressiveness of colorectal cancer (CRC). The researchers found that DCLK1 binds and phosphorylates XRCC5, which leads to the activation of cyclooxygenase-2 and enhanced prostaglandin E2 production, resulting in an inflammatory tumor microenvironment and increased aggressiveness of CRC cells. The inhibition of DCLK1 kinase activity was shown to impair tumor seeding and growth in CRC mouse models. This study expands the understanding of the biological function of DCLK1 in CRC.

Fibronectin as a multiregulatory molecule crucial in tumor matrisome: from structural and functional features to clinical practice in oncology

Sheila Spada et al.

Summary: Decoding the composition and architecture of the extracellular matrix (ECM) can offer new opportunities to identify diagnostic and therapeutic targets in cancer. Fibronectin and its fibrillary assembly play a crucial role in building the ECM structure and have a significant impact on its characteristics. Studying this unique protein can provide insights into its role as a prognostic and theranostic marker in cancer.
