Background: Leptomeningeal dissemination (LMD) occurs when tumor cells interact with choroid plexus epithelium (CPE) to gain access to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain's meninges and ventricular system. This disease is particularly devastating for patients due to our limited understanding and few therapeutic options. The leptomeningeal CSF is a nutritionally deprived microenvironment for tumor cells.

Gut microbiota, metabolites, and cytokines in relation to the risk of prostate cancer in the Asian population.

Front Oncol

January 2025

Department of Urology, Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital, School of Medicine, Tongji University, Shanghai, China.

Purpose: Studies have shown that gut microbiota is involved in the tumorigenesis and development of prostate cancer. We aimed to perform a comprehensive analysis of causal associations of gut microbiota, metabolites, and cytokines with prostate cancer in the Asian population.

Patients And Methods: Genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary datasets were collected from the public databases.

Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in the UAE and a leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Although early diagnosis contributes to favorable prognoses, novel treatment modalities like antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have significantly broadened the therapeutic landscape for patients in metastatic settings. The recognition of "HER2-low" expression as a targetable category has caused a paradigm shift in the management of breast cancer.

Adipokines in Breast Cancer: Decoding Genetic and Proteomic Mechanisms Underlying Migration, Invasion, and Proliferation.

Breast Cancer (Dove Med Press)

January 2025

Clinic for Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery, Spine, Orthopedic and Hand Surgery, Preventive Medicine - ETHIANUM, Heidelberg, 69115, Germany.

Background: Adipokines, bioactive peptides secreted by adipose tissue, appear to contribute to breast cancer development and progression. While numerous studies suggest their role in promoting tumor growth, the exact mechanisms of their involvement are not yet completely understood.

Methods: In this project, varying concentrations of recombinant human adipokines (Leptin, Lipocalin-2, PAI-1, and Resistin) were used to study their effects on four selected breast cancer cell lines (EVSA-T, MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, and SK-Br-3).

The high interstitial ATP concentration in the cancer microenvironment is a major source of adenosine, which acts as a strong immune suppressor. However, the source of ATP release has not been elucidated. We measured ATP release during hypotonic stress using a real-time ATP luminescence imaging system in breast cell lines and in primary cultured mammary cells.
