Immunotherapies for hepatocellular carcinoma

Josep M. Llovet et al.

Summary: Liver cancer, specifically hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), is the second leading cause of cancer-related death globally. Traditional treatments involve specific drugs, but the emergence of immune checkpoint inhibitors has revolutionized the management of HCC.

MZF1 mediates oncogene-induced senescence by promoting the transcription of p16INK4A

Dan Wu et al.

Summary: The study identified MZF1 as a transcriptional factor that recruits CHD7 to the p16(INK4A) promoter, mediating oncogenic ras-induced senescence in primary human cells. Reduced MZF1 expression in some cancers is associated with poor patient survival, suggesting MZF1 may act as a tumor suppressor.

Differential Expression of PD-L1 during Cell Cycle Progression of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Daniela Schulz et al.

Summary: The expression of PD-L1 by tumor cells is primarily associated with its immunosuppressive effect, but there is evidence of additional cell-intrinsic functions. PD-L1's function and expression vary depending on factors such as cell cycle, differentiation status, and microenvironment. Understanding these variations may provide insights into differential response to PD-1/PD-L1 antibody therapy and optimize antibody-based immunotherapy.

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.

Down-regulation of RCC1 sensitizes immunotherapy by up-regulating PD-L1 via p27kip1/CDK4 axis in non-small cell lung cancer

Xiaozhu Zeng et al.

Summary: High expression of regulator of chromosome condensation 1 (RCC1) is associated with poor prognosis in NSCLC. Knockdown of RCC1 inhibits proliferation of lung adenocarcinoma cells, increases PD-L1 expression, and decreases CDK4 expression. This study suggests that RCC1 up-regulates PD-L1 expression and decreasing resistance to ICIs, providing a new approach to enhance the efficacy of PD-L1 monoclonal antibody by targeting RCC1.

Hypoxic Glioma Stem Cell-Derived Exosomes Containing Linc01060 Promote Progression of Glioma by Regulating the MZE1/c-Myc/HIF1α Axis

Junjun Li et al.

Summary: The study elucidated the mechanisms by which hypoxic lncRNA derived from glioma stem cells (GSC) drive glioma progression, involving the Linc01060 gene, exosomes containing it, and proteins regulating the gene. Transfer of exosomes from GSCs to glioma cells increased Linc01060 levels and activated prooncogenic signaling pathways. Inhibition of Linc01060-containing exosomes or targeting the Linc01060/MZEI/c-Myc/HIF1 alpha axis could be an effective therapeutic strategy in glioma.

Lactate modulation of immune responses in inflammatory versus tumour microenvironments

Michelangelo Certo et al.

Summary: The microenvironments of cancerous tissues and tissues affected by chronic inflammatory diseases exhibit different immune states but similar metabolic states. Understanding the metabolic signature allows for therapeutic intervention to reset metabolite availability and correct dysregulated immune states.
