microRNAs are small oligonucleotides involved in post-transcriptional gene regulation whose alteration is found in several diseases, including cancer, and therefore their detection is crucial for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment purposes. Field-Effect Transistor-based biosensors (bioFETs) represent a promising technology for the clinical detection of microRNAs. However, one of the main challenges associated with this technology is the Debye screening, becoming significant at the high ionic strengths required for effective hybridization.

Burkitt lymphoma, a highly aggressive form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, have significant treatment challenges, such as chemotherapy-related toxicity and the risk of relapse, especially in older adults. Treatment of Raji cells, a Burkitt lymphoma cell line, with parthenolide in combination to doxorubicin may enhance therapeutic efficacy. This study aimed to evaluate cell viability and apoptosis following treatment with these agents, and to investigate the underlying molecular mechanisms involving miR-27b and the MET/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Sex cord-stromal tumors are rare in pediatric patients. Leydig cell tumors are a rare subset of sex cord-stromal tumors characterized by unique molecular alterations, including TERT fusions and mutations of CTNNB1, FOXO4, TP53, NBN, MTOR, BAP1, MEN1, and CREBBP. We report a case of a testicular Leydig cell tumor with an EWSR1::CREM fusion, which to our knowledge has not been previously reported in this setting.

An association between gut microbiota and the development of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has been previously described. To better understand the bacterial microbiota changes accompanying PDAC promotion and progression stimulated by inflammation and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), we investigated stool and pancreatic microbiota by 16s RNA-based metagenomic analysis in mice with inducible acinar transgenic expressions of KrasG12D, and age- and sex-matched control mice that were exposed to inflammatory stimuli and fecal microbiota obtained from mice with PDAC. Time- and inflammatory-dependent stool and pancreatic bacterial composition alterations and stool alpha microbiota diversity reduction were observed only in mice with a Kras mutation that developed advanced pancreatic changes.

Polyamine metabolism in prostate cancer.

Curr Opin Oncol

February 2025

The Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center, Johns Hopkins University; Baltimore, Maryland, USA.

Purpose Of Review: Normal and malignant prostate engage in high rates of de novo polyamine synthesis. This review considers how polyamine metabolism regulates prostate cancer initiation and progression.

Recent Findings: The androgen receptor (AR) establishes a metabolic program to drive robust polyamine synthesis in the normal prostate.
