Network-based transfer of pan-cancer immunotherapy responses to guide breast cancer prognosis.

Breast cancer prognosis is complicated by tumor heterogeneity. Traditional methods focus on cancer-specific gene signatures, but cross-cancer strategies that provide deeper insights into tumor homogeneity are rarely used. Immunotherapy, particularly immune checkpoint inhibitors, results from variable responses across cancers, offering valuable prognostic insights.

Spliced exon9 ADRM1 promotes liver oncogenicity via selective degradation of tumor suppressor FBXW7.

Background & Aims: The ubiquitin receptor ADRM1/Rpn13 governs the specificity of eukaryotic protein degradation. By SMRT sequencing, we first discovered a novel spliced variant of ADRM1 with a skipped exon 9, termed ADRM1-ΔEx9, in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study aimed to elucidate this novel ubiquitin receptor's underlying biology and clinical implications in HCC.

Chinese herbal formula Regan Saibisitan alleviates airway inflammation of chronic bronchitis via inhibiting the JAK2/STAT3 pathway.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Regan Saibisitan (RGS) is a classic prescription used to treat cough, pneumonia, and other respiratory infections in Uygur medicine. It is a granule composed of 12 kinds of medicinal materials. However, the mechanism by which RGS regulates lung disease remains unclear.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of bisnoralcohol derivatives as novel IRF4 inhibitors for the treatment of multiple myeloma.

Interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) is specifically overexpressed in multiple myeloma (MM) and mediates MM progression and survival, making it an emerging target for MM treatment. However, no chemical entity with a defined structure capable of directly binding to and inhibiting IRF4 has been reported. We screened our small library of steroid analogs and identified bisnoralcohol (BA) derivative 18 as a novel hit compound capable of inhibiting IRF4, with an IC of 13.

Postradiotherapy nasopharyngeal necrosis with granulation mass: Insights from a multicentre study.

Background: Postradiotherapy nasopharyngeal necrosis with granulation mass (PRNN-GM) is a rare subtype of postradiotherapy nasopharyngeal necrosis (PRNN). It is characterized by the formation of isolated granulomatous tissue masses or masses combined with PRNN. However, the relationship between clinical features and survival outcomes in PRNN-GM remains unclear.
