Cancer tissues are comprised of various components including tumor cells and the surrounding tumor stroma, which consists of the extracellular matrix and inflammatory cells. Since the tumor stroma plays critical roles in tumor development, investigation of the tumor stroma in addition to tumor cells is important to identify useful tumor-associated markers. To discover novel and useful sero-diagnostic markers, a comparative study of tumor-associated autoantibodies (AAbs) in sera from lung adenocarcinoma (AC) patients was investigated by two-dimensional immunoblotting with AC cell lines or each autologous AC tissues. Autoantigens identified from tissue and cell line samples comprised 58 (45 antigens) and 53 spots (41 antigens), respectively. Thirty-six proteins including Transforming growth factor-beta-induced protein ig-h3 (BIGH3) and Hyaluronan and proteoglycan link protein 1 (HAPLN1) were detected only from tissues, 32 proteins only from cell lines, and 9 proteins from both. BIGH3 and HAPLN1 expressions were confirmed in the tumor stroma, but not in AC cell lines by immunostaining and immunoblotting. These data suggest that autologous tumor tissue and serum are important to coincidently detect AAbs derived from the tumor stroma in addition to tumor cells.

Statement Of The Problem: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common type of oral cancer. During the invasion, tumour cells break through the basement membrane and penetrate the connective tissue to interact with the extracellular matrix. An attempt was made to evaluate the connective tissue changes in different grades of OSCCs, oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) and Oral Epithelial Dysplasias.

Background: Epstein-Barr virus-positive (EBV) inflammatory follicular dendritic cell sarcoma (IFDCS) is a rare stroma-derived neoplasm of lymphoid tissues. It typically involves the spleen and liver, and is often associated with the presence of EBV. Because of its nonspecific clinical and imaging findings, making a correct diagnosis at the time of initial diagnosis is challenging.

Background: The lack of predictive biomarkers contributes notably to the poor outcomes of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are the key components of the prominent PDAC stroma. Data on clinical relevance of CAFs entering the bloodstream, known as circulating CAFs (cCAFs) are scarce.

Background: Perivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComas) rarely appear in the head and neck region. This case report describes two transcription factor E3 (TFE3)-rearranged PEComa cases, consisting of one in the orbit and one in the nasal cavity.
Case Presentation: Both cases demonstrated sheet-like or focal nested architecture and comprised epithelioid cells with abundant clear to eosinophilic cytoplasm and vascular stroma.

Solid tumors (particularly the desmoplastic ones) usually harbor insurmountable mechanical barriers and formidable immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), which severely restricted nanomedicine-penetration and vastly crippled outcomes of numerous therapies. To overcome these barriers, a versatile nanoplatform orchestrated mechanotherapy with chemoimmunotherapy was developed here to simultaneously modulate tumor physical barriers and remodel TME for synergistically enhancing anticancer efficiency. Dexamethasone (DMS) and cis-aconityl-doxorubicin (CAD) were co-hitchhiked into phenylboronic acid functionalized polyethylenimine (PEI-PBA) carrier, and further in situ shielded by aldehyde-modified polyethylene glycol (PEG) to form CAD/DMS@PEG/PEI-PBA (CD@PB) nanoparticles (NPs).
