Colorectal cancer statistics, 2023

Rebecca L. Siegel et al.

Summary: Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States. The incidence of CRC has slowed down, but it is shifting to a younger age, advanced stage, and left colon/rectum. Mortality from CRC has declined overall, but increased in individuals younger than 50 years and Native Americans younger than 65 years. Uncovering the reasons for rising incidence and improving access to screening and treatment are crucial in combating CRC.

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.

The impact of lipids on the cancer-immunity cycle and strategies for modulating lipid metabolism to improve cancer immunotherapy

Mingming Zheng et al.

Summary: Lipids play a crucial role in tumor biology and the cancer-immunity cycle, influencing antigen presentation, T-cell priming and activation, and T-cell killing of cancer cells. Modulating lipids may offer an effective strategy for enhancing antitumor immunity and synergizing with immunotherapy.

Evolving landscape of PD-L2: bring new light to checkpoint immunotherapy

Yuqing Wang et al.

Summary: Immune checkpoint blockade therapy targeting PD-1 has had a significant impact on various cancer types, including HNSCC. PD-L2, a ligand of PD-1, is involved in immune escape of HNSCC and is associated with poor prognosis. This review summarizes PD-L2 expression and its functions, as well as the mechanisms regulating it in HNSCC and other solid tumors. The potential use of small molecular agents targeting PD-L2 indirectly in cancer therapy is also discussed.

The role of lipid metabolic reprogramming in tumor microenvironment

Kai Yang et al.

Summary: Metabolic reprogramming, especially lipid metabolic reprogramming, has significant impacts on cancer progression and therapeutic response by remodeling the tumor microenvironment (TME). In recent decades, immunotherapy has revolutionized the treatment landscape for advanced cancers, and lipid metabolic reprogramming plays a pivotal role in regulating the immune microenvironment and response to cancer immunotherapy.

Enhancing immunotherapy in cancer by targeting emerging immunomodulatory pathways

Lukas Kraehenbuehl et al.

Summary: The discovery and clinical implementation of immune-checkpoint inhibitors like CTLA4, PD-1, and PD-L1 have significantly improved outcomes for patients with advanced-stage cancers. However, a majority of patients do not respond to these agents, emphasizing the need for further research into alternative immunomodulatory pathways and targeting tumor metabolism to enhance treatment efficacy.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of preoperative short-term radiotherapy followed by chemotherapy with a standard schedule of long-term chemoradiotherapy in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer. The results showed that the short-term radiotherapy and chemotherapy regimen was non-inferior to the standard regimen in terms of 3-year disease-free survival and had better overall survival.

Summary: The lipid bilayer is crucial for cell signalling and undergoes changes during oncogenic transformation. Studying the role of the cell membrane in cell signalling is challenging due to technical limitations, but combining computational, wet-lab, and semi-dry approaches offers the best solutions. Various analytical tools like computational microscopy, biological assays, and membrane biophysics are used to study cell signalling initiation from cancer cell membranes and explore potential cancer therapies involving membrane-modulating agents.

Contribution of Lipid Oxidation and Ferroptosis to Radiotherapy Efficacy

Ashley N. Pearson et al.

Summary: Radiotherapy promotes tumor cell death and senescence through the induction of oxidative damage. Recent work has highlighted the importance of lipid peroxidation for radiotherapy efficacy. Excessive lipid peroxidation can promote ferroptosis, a regulated form of cell death. In this review, we address the evidence supporting a role of ferroptosis in response to radiotherapy and discuss the molecular regulators that underlie this interaction. Finally, we postulate on the clinical implications for the intersection of ferroptosis and radiotherapy.

Reprogramming lipid metabolism prevents effector T cell senescence and enhances tumor immunotherapy

Xia Liu et al.

Summary: The functional state of T cells is critical for effective antitumor immunity. T cell senescence driven by malignant tumor cells and regulatory T cells is a common feature in cancers, characterized by unbalanced lipid metabolism and accumulation of lipid droplets. Inhibition of group IVA phospholipase A(2) can reprogram effector T cell lipid metabolism, prevent T cell senescence, and enhance antitumor immunity and immunotherapy efficacy.

Tumour fatty acid metabolism in the context of therapy resistance and obesity

Andrew J. Hoy et al.

Summary: This review discusses the mechanistic links between fatty acid metabolism in cancer cells and disease behavior and therapy resistance, emphasizing the importance of factors such as lipid synthesis, storage, and catabolism in supporting tumorigenesis and treatment resistance. The role of membrane fatty acid composition is increasingly appreciated for promoting cell survival and limiting lipotoxicity and ferroptosis, while tumor cells exhibit plasticity in response to metabolic signals, such as obesity and cancer therapeutics, to promote aggressive, treatment-resistant disease. The study also highlights the impact of obesity-associated changes in host fatty acid metabolism on the tumor microenvironment and cancer cell behavior.
