The interferon-stimulated gene 15 ubiquitin-like modifier (ISG15) encodes an IFN-inducible, ubiquitin-like protein. The ISG15 protein forms conjugates with numerous cellular proteins that are involved in a multitude of cellular functions, including interferon-induced immune responses and the regulation of cellular protein turnover. The expression of ISG15 and ISG15-mediated conjugation has been implicated in a wide range of human tumors and cancer cell lines, but the roles of ISG15 in tumorigenesis and responses to anticancer treatments remain largely unknown. In this review, we discuss the findings of recent studies with regard to the role of ISG15 pathways in cancers of the digestive system.

Article Synopsis
- Immune cell infiltration and tumor-related immune molecules significantly impact tumor development and progression, specifically in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).
- A machine learning analysis of transcriptome data identified 15 immune-related genes (IRGs) that were linked to overall survival outcomes in ccRCC patients and helped construct a prognostic model with strong predictive accuracy.
- The study also established molecular regulatory networks influencing immune interactions in ccRCC and created a nomogram combining the prognostic model with clinical data, enhancing the understanding of ccRCC's molecular mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets.
Exploring the protective effect and mechanism of icariside II on the bladder in a rat model of radiation cystitis based on transcriptome sequencing.

Purpose: Radiation cystitis (RC) is a complex and common complication after radiotherapy for pelvic cancer. Icariside II (ICAII) is a flavonoid compound extracted from Epimedium, a traditional Chinese medicine, with various pharmacological activities. The aim of the present study was to investigate the cysto-protective effects of ICAII in RC rats and its possible mechanisms.

Background: Cancer cells frequently evolve necroptotic resistance to overcome various survival stress during tumorigenesis. However, we have previously showed that necroptosis is widespread in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and contributes to tumor progression and poor survival via DAMPs-induced migration and invasiveness in peri-necroptotic tumor cells. This implicated an alternative strategy that cancers cope with necroptotic stress by reprogramming a pro-invasive necroptotic microenvironment (NME).

Telomeres, potential biomarkers of aging, are known to shorten with continued cigarette smoke exposure. In order to further investigate this process and its impact on cellular stress and inflammation, we used an in vitro model with cigarette smoke extract (CSE) and observed the downregulation of telomere stabilizing and genes after CSE treatment. is a subunit of telomerase and a well-known oncogenic marker, which is overexpressed in over 85% of cancers and may contribute to lung cancer development in smokers.

Objective: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most prevalent malignancy with late-presentation, site-specific heterogeneity, and high-propensity for recurrence/metastasis that has shown rise in mortality. Lately, research emphasize on dynamic interactions between tumor-cells and extracellular-matrix components within tumor-microenvironment that promote tissue integrity loss and carcinogenesis. Therefore, OSCC clinical-management is still challenging.
