Aims: ID1 is an important component of the MET-SRC signaling pathway, which is a regulator of cell migration and invasion. We hypothesized that the ALK/MET inhibitor crizotinib inhibits migration via MET-SRC-ID1, rather than ALK.

Materials & Methods: We used ALK fusion-positive and -negative lung cancer cell lines; crizotinib, PHA-665752, and saracatinib, and stable transfection with shMET. We performed western blotting for p-ALK, ALK, p-MET, MET, p-SRC, SRC and ID1, and quantitative real-time PCR for ID1.

Results: Crizotinib decreased p-MET, p-SRC and ID1 levels in ALK- and or MET-positive cell lines and inhibited cell migration. Knockdown of MET was comparable with the effect of crizotinib.

Conclusion: The effects of crizotinib on ID1 expression and cancer cell migration were associated with the presence of activated MET, rather than ALK fusion.

Elevated LINC00115 expression correlates with aggressive endometrial cancer phenotypes via JAK/STAT pathway modulation.

This study systematically explores the oncogenic role of the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) LINC00115 in endometrial cancer (EC) and reveals its unique mechanism in promoting proliferation, invasion, and metastasis via the JAK/STAT signaling pathway. LINC00115 is significantly upregulated in EC tissues and closely associated with advanced TNM staging and lymph node metastasis. Functional assays showed that knockdown of LINC00115 suppressed EC cell proliferation, invasion, and metastasis, while overexpression enhanced these malignant behaviors.

Focus on mechano-immunology: new direction in cancer treatment.

The immune response is modulated by a diverse array of signals within the tissue microenvironment, encompassing biochemical factors, mechanical forces, and pressures from adjacent tissues. Furthermore, the extracellular matrix and its constituents significantly influence the function of immune cells. In the case of carcinogenesis, changes in the biophysical properties of tissues can impact the mechanical signals received by immune cells, and these signals can be translated into biochemical signals through mechano-transduction pathways.

Inflammation plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of various diseases by promoting the acquisition of new functional traits by different cell types. Shared risk factors between cardiovascular disease and cancer, including smoking, obesity, diabetes, high-fat diet, low physical activity, and alcohol consumption, contribute to inflammation linked to platelet activation. Platelets contribute to an inflammatory state by activating various normal cells, such as fibroblasts, immune cells, and vascular cells.
