CDK4/6 Alters TBK1 Phosphorylation to Inhibit the STING Signaling Pathway in Prostate Cancer.

The efficacy of immunotherapy in patients with prostate cancer is limited due to the "cold" tumor microenvironment and the paucity of neoantigens. The STING-TBK1-IRF3 signaling axis is involved in innate immunity and has been increasingly recognized as a candidate target for cancer immunotherapy. Here, we found that treatment with CDK4/6 inhibitors stimulates the STING pathway and enhances the antitumor effect of STING agonists in prostate cancer.

Retinoblastoma-associated protein is important for TRIM24-mediated activation of the mTOR signaling pathway through DUSP2 action in prostate cancer.

RB transcriptional corepressor 1 (RB) deletion is the most important genomic factor associated with the prognosis of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) patients receiving androgen receptor (AR) signaling inhibitor therapy. Loss of RB could support prostate cancer cell growth in a hormone-independent manner, but the underlying mechanism by which RB regulates tumor progression extends far beyond the cell cycle pathway. A previous study indicated that RB inactivates AKT signaling but has no effect on mTOR signaling in cancer cells.

Effect of NMB-regulated ERK1/2 and p65 signaling pathway on proliferation and apoptosis of cervical cancer.

Aberrant expression of Neuromedin B (NMB) is associated with the malignant progression of cancer, such as breast cancer, lung cancer and glioma. However, the role of NMB in cervical cancer remains unclear. The present study found that NMB and its receptor NMBR are aberrantly expressed in cervical cancer.

The Molecular Basis and Therapeutic Potential of Leukemia Inhibitory Factor in Cancer Cachexia.

Cachexia is a chronic metabolic syndrome that is characterized by sustained weight and muscle mass loss and anorexia. Cachexia can be secondary to a variety of diseases and affects the prognosis of patients significantly. The increase in inflammatory cytokines in plasma is deeply related to the occurrence of cachexia.
