We have previously implicated TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) in innate immune surveillance against tumor development. In this study, we describe the use of TRAIL gene-targeted mice to demonstrate the key role of TRAIL in suppressing tumor initiation and metastasis. Liver and spleen mononuclear cells from TRAIL gene-targeted mice were devoid of TRAIL expression and TRAIL-mediated cytotoxicity. TRAIL gene-targeted mice were more susceptible to experimental and spontaneous tumor metastasis, and the immunotherapeutic value of alpha-galactosylceramide was diminished in TRAIL gene-targeted mice. TRAIL gene-targeted mice were also more sensitive to the chemical carcinogen methylcholanthrene. These results substantiated TRAIL as an important natural effector molecule used in the host defense against transformed cells.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a promising cellular vehicle for transferring anti-cancer factors to malignant tumors. Currently, a variety of anti-cancer agents, including the tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), have been loaded into MSCs derived from a range of sources through different engineering methods. These engineered MSCs exhibit enormous therapeutic potential for various cancers.

MiR-654-3p can repress malignant progression of cancer cells, whereas no relative reports were about its modulatory mechanism in sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC). This research committed to approaching modulatory effect of miR-654-3p on SNSCC cells. Bioinformatics methods were utilized for analyzing interaction of miR-654-3p/cAMP-responsive element binding protein 1 (CREB1)/presenilin-1 (PSEN1).

Malignant tumors are usually treated using monotherapies, which are not always effective. Therefore, combination therapies have gained increasing attention. The aims of this study were to investigate the effects of conditionally replicating adenovirus (CRAd) in combination with X-ray irradiation on the proliferation and apoptosis of MDA-MB-231 cells, as well as to determine the molecular mechanisms involved.

To define the normal physiological role for the TRAIL/Apo2L in vivo, we generated TRAIL/Apo2L gene-targeted mice. These mice develop normally and show no defects in lymphoid or myeloid cell homeostasis or function. Although TRAIL/Apo2L kills transformed cells in vitro, TRAIL/Apo2L(-/-) mice do not spontaneously develop overt tumors at an early age.
