The macroscopic, light microscopic and electron microscopic features and biological properties of MC-29 virus-induced hepatocellular carcinomas in chickens are described. The tumors developed in noncirrhotic livers within a very short time and formed metastases. Virus production was also evidenced in the tumors. There were also indications of virus production in the transplantable tumors. The tumors grew equally well after sc, ip, or im inoculation. In about 25% of the tumor-bearing animals, tumorous nodules developed in the liver. It could not be established whether they were metastases or primary liver cancers induced by viruses released from the transplantable tumors.

Liver cancer poses a global health challenge with limited therapeutic options. Notably, the limited success of current therapies in patients with primary liver cancers (PLCs) may be attributed to the high heterogeneity of both hepatocellular carcinoma (HCCs) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCAs). This heterogeneity evolves over time as tumor-initiating stem cells, or cancer stem cells (CSCs), undergo (epi)genetic alterations or encounter microenvironmental changes within the tumor microenvironment.

The transcriptomic classification of primary colorectal cancer (CRC) into distinct consensus molecular subtypes (CMSs) is a well-described strategy for patient stratification. However, the molecular nature of CRC metastases remains poorly investigated. To this end, this study aimed to identify and compare organotropic CMS frequencies in CRC liver and brain metastases.

KEAP1 mutations as key crucial prognostic biomarkers for resistance to KRAS-G12C inhibitors.

J Transl Med

January 2025

Department of Medical Oncology, National Cancer Center/National Clinical Research Center for Cancer/Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, 100021, China.

Background: KRAS-G12C inhibitors mark a notable advancement in targeted cancer therapies, yet identifying predictive biomarkers for treatment efficacy and resistance remains essential for optimizing clinical outcomes.

Methods: This systematic meta-analysis synthesized studies available through September 2024 across PubMed, Cochrane Library, SpringerLink, and Embase. Using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, this study generated cells with KEAP1 and STK11 knockouts, and utilized lentiviral vectors to overexpress PD-L1.
