Biological and Clinical Impacts of Glucose Metabolism in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

Zhao Liu et al.

Summary: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a lethal cancer type with high metastatic properties and difficulty in early diagnosis. Most PDAC patients have glucose metabolism disorders, which are closely related to the initiation, development, invasion, and metastasis of PDAC. This review provides valuable insights into the clinical and molecular impacts of glycolysis on PDAC research and treatment.

Osteosarcoma-enriched transcripts paradoxically generate osteosarcoma-suppressing extracellular proteins

Kexin Li et al.

Summary: Osteosarcoma (OS), a primary bone cancer, can be treated using protein-based therapy derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). The study discovered that activating PKA can convert MSCs into induced tumor-suppressing cells (iTSCs). Administering a conditioned medium (CM) collected from MSCs inhibited tumor-induced bone destruction and showed synergistic effects with cisplatin in a mouse model. The CM was enriched with proteins like calreticulin and PCOLCE, which acted as extracellular tumor suppressors by interacting with CD47 and amyloid precursor protein respectively.

Comparison of in vitro scratch wound assay experimental procedures

Wilhelmina E. Radstake et al.

Summary: In this study, two wound creation techniques were compared, as well as the influence of analysis software and cortisol on fibroblast migration behavior. Results showed that using a cell exclusion method significantly reduced fibroblast migration, while addition of cortisol only affected migration in scratched fibroblast monolayers. The potential relationship to cytokine expression was discussed.

Proteomes from AMPK-inhibited peripheral blood mononuclear cells suppress the progression of breast cancer and bone metastasis

Kexin Li et al.

Summary: By inhibiting the AMPK signaling, we generated a conditioned medium from lymphocytes and monocytes that can eliminate tumors. The application of this medium was found to inhibit mammary tumor growth and prevent bone loss. Proteins enriched in the medium were found to suppress tumor formation.

Suppression of breast cancer-associated bone loss with osteoblast proteomes via Hsp90ab1/moesin-mediated inhibition of TGFβ/FN1/CD44 signaling

Xun Sun et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that activating the Wnt signaling pathway in osteoblasts can lead to the generation of tumor-suppressive secretomes that inhibit breast cancer growth and protect bone. The findings suggest a counterintuitive approach to treating breast cancer-associated bone metastasis.

The Impact of Biomarkers in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma on Diagnosis, Surveillance and Therapy

Niklas Sturm et al.

Summary: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a challenging cancer to treat due to late diagnosis and poor prognosis. Various molecules have been identified as biomarkers, providing potential for early diagnosis and therapeutic prediction. Progress has been made in predicting therapy response with biomarkers, but early detection and recurrence still require further research.

Deciphering the immunopeptidome in vivo reveals new tumour antigens

Alex M. Jaeger et al.

Summary: This study engineered an inducible affinity tag into the mouse MHC-I gene to precisely isolate MHC-I peptides from autochthonous pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and lung adenocarcinoma in vivo. It revealed that peptide presentation in lung adenocarcinoma is not predictable by mRNA expression or translation efficiency and may be driven by post-translational mechanisms. Vaccination with peptides presented by lung adenocarcinoma induced CD8(+) T cell responses.

Bioinformatics analysis of the role of aldolase A in tumor prognosis and immunity

Wanjia Tian et al.

Summary: ALDOA, an enzyme involved in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis, plays a significant role in tumor metabolism. This study explored the overall roles of ALDOA in pan-cancer using databases and online analysis tools. The expression of ALDOA was found to be higher in lung adenocarcinoma, liver hepatocellular carcinoma, and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma compared to normal tissues. Increased ALDOA expression often indicated a worse prognosis for patients. The correlation between ALDOA and immune infiltration varied among different tumors, and ALDOA was found to be associated with macrophage, CD4+ T cell, and CD8+ T cell infiltration.

Mining the Immunopeptidome for Antigenic Peptides in Cancer

Ricardo A. Leon-Letelier et al.

Summary: The immunopeptidome of cancer cells is a potential resource for immunotherapy, as it can lead to the discovery of novel cancer-specific antigens. These immunopeptides may contain protein post-translational modifications that are often overlooked by genomic and transcriptomic analysis. We discuss how this information can be utilized to develop cancer vaccines.

Persistent EGFR/K-RAS/SIAH pathway activation drives chemo-resistance and early tumor relapse in triple-negative breast cancer

Amy H. Tang et al.

Summary: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive subtype and predominantly affects BRCA mutation carriers and young women, particularly African American women. Novel treatment strategies and research initiatives are needed to overcome uncertainties in predicting chemoresistance and tumor relapse. The activation of the EGFR-K-RAS-SIAH pathway is a major driver in chemoresistant TNBC, and SIAH has the potential to become a novel tumor-specific, therapy-responsive, and prognostic biomarker.

Single-cell transcriptional changes associated with drug tolerance and response to combination therapies in cancer

Alexandre F. Aissa et al.

Summary: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors have clinical effectiveness in treating certain subsets of cancers with receptor tyrosine kinase somatic mutations, but limited duration of response and development of drug resistance are common issues. Single-cell RNA sequencing revealed multiple cancer cell subpopulations with epigenetic changes and variable therapeutic sensitivity. Overrepresented gene ontologies associated with drug tolerance include epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, drug metabolism, and vesicle transport. Combination therapy targeting specific drug tolerant cell subpopulations shows promise in inhibiting drug resistance.

Suppression of cancer-associated bone loss through dynamic mechanical loading

G. M. Pagnotti et al.

Summary: Patients with cancer face elevated fracture risk and susceptibility to osteoporosis, making exercise and mechanical loading crucial for bone health during treatment. Dysregulation caused by cancer cells and metabolic dysfunction can adversely affect musculoskeletal tissues, highlighting the importance of understanding mechanotransduction pathways. Studies suggest a positive impact of exercise and mechanical loading on tumor-bearing skeletal tissues, emphasizing the need for non-pharmacological approaches in cancer treatment.
