Advances in the clinical management of uveal melanoma

Richard D. Carvajal et al.

Summary: Uveal melanoma is a rare form of melanoma that occurs in the uveal tract of the eye, and it has distinct characteristics from cutaneous melanoma. Current treatments for primary uveal melanoma, such as radiotherapy and enucleation, can achieve local control in most patients, but distant metastases, especially in the liver, still occur in a significant number of cases. Until January 2022, no systemic therapy had been approved for metastatic uveal melanoma, leading to poor prognosis for these patients. However, recent studies have identified important genomic and immunological features of uveal melanoma, leading to the development of novel treatments, including tebentafusp, which has received regulatory approval.

Mitochondrial-Targeted Antioxidant MitoQ-Mediated Autophagy: A Novel Strategy for Precise Radiation Protection

Xingting Bao et al.

Summary: Radiotherapy is effective in treating cancer, but protecting normal tissue is challenging. This study found that MitoQ could inhibit mitochondrial respiration and activate autophagy in normal cells by constructing a pseudo-mitochondrial membrane potential (PMMP). This selective autophagy approach protected normal cells from radiation-induced damage without affecting the tumor-killing efficacy of radiation.

Patients presenting with metastases: stage IV uveal melanoma, an international study

Gaurav Garg et al.

Summary: The study analyzed ocular and systemic findings of patients with systemic metastasis, finding a certain proportion of uveal melanoma patients presented with metastasis, mostly originating in the choroid. Even small T1 tumors were found to be stage IV at initial presentation.

The AMP-dependent kinase pathway is upregulated in BAP1 mutant uveal melanoma

Vivian Chua et al.

Summary: Metastatic uveal melanoma with BAP1 alterations show elevated AMPK pathway activation, suggesting a potential therapeutic target. Re-expression of BAP1 reduces phosphorylation levels of AMPK and ACC. The survival function of AMPK in BAP1 mutant UM cells is mediated by CaMKK2 and LKB1.

IL11 stimulates ERK/P90RSK to inhibit LKB1/AMPK and activate mTOR initiating a mesenchymal program in stromal, epithelial, and cancer cells

Anissa A. Widjaja et al.

Summary: IL11 activates fibroblasts and causes epithelial cell dysfunction through the IL11/mTOR axis. The activation of ERK/P90RSK by IL11 leads to the phosphorylation and inactivation of LKB1, inhibiting AMPK and activating mTOR. Inhibiting IL11 activity or stimulating AMPK can reverse the IL11-induced phenotypes in different cell types.

LKB1 inactivation modulates chromatin accessibility to drive metastatic progression

Sarah E. Pierce et al.

Summary: The study reveals the significant role of the tumor suppressor gene LKB1 in lung cancer, showing its impact on metastatic progression through the mechanism of SOX17-mediated epigenetic changes.

Overall Survival Benefit with Tebentafusp in Metastatic Uveal Melanoma

Paul Nathan et al.

Summary: The randomized trial of tebentafusp for metastatic uveal melanoma showed a higher 1-year overall survival rate among patients who received tebentafusp compared to those who received the investigator's choice of therapy, indicating superior efficacy.
