Most human cancers, including myeloma, are preceded by a precursor state. There is an unmet need for in vivo models to study the interaction of human preneoplastic cells in the bone marrow microenvironment with non-malignant cells. Here, we genetically humanized mice to permit the growth of primary human preneoplastic and malignant plasma cells together with non-malignant cells in vivo. Growth was largely restricted to the bone marrow, mirroring the pattern in patients with myeloma. Xenografts captured the genomic complexity of parental tumors and revealed additional somatic changes. Moreover, xenografts from patients with preneoplastic gammopathy showed progressive growth, suggesting that the clinical stability of these lesions may in part be due to growth controls extrinsic to tumor cells. These data demonstrate a new approach to investigate the entire spectrum of human plasma cell neoplasia and illustrate the utility of humanized models for understanding the functional diversity of human tumors.

Cold-pressed extraction of perilla seed oil enriched with alpha-linolenic acid mitigates tumour progression and restores gut microbial homeostasis in the AOM/DSS mice model of colitis-associated colorectal cancer.

The present investigation explores into the influence of dietary nutrients, particularly alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a plant-derived omega-3 fatty acid abundant in perilla seed oil (PSO), on the development of colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CRC). The study employs a mouse model to scrutinize the effects of ALA-rich PSO in the context of inflammation-driven CRC. Perilla seeds were subjected to oil extraction, and the nutritional composition of the obtained oil was analysed.

The development of pancreatic cancer requires both, acquisition of an oncogenic mutation in KRAS as well as an inflammatory insult. However, the physiological causes for pancreatic inflammation are less defined. We show here that oncogenic KRas-expressing pre-neoplastic lesion cells upregulate coxsackievirus (CVB) and adenovirus receptor (CAR).

Background And Objective: Human papillomavirus (HPV) causes almost all cases of cervical cancer and its prevalence can be significantly reduced by vaccines. This study aimed to compare the prevalence of preneoplastic and neoplastic uterine cervix lesions in the cytology of Brazilian women aged 20-24 yr before and after the HPV vaccination campaign. The study also correlates these findings with the proportional coverage of first and second doses for this population.

Anal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCCA) is a rare Human Papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16)-associated carcinoma whose pathogenesis is still poorly understood. Recent studies based on biopsy and Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) approaches have linked the viral episomal status to aggressive SCCA phenotypes, suggesting a potential role of the 16E5 oncoprotein in tumor development. Our previous findings indicated that 16E5 induces Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 2 (FGFR2) isoform switching, aberrant mesenchymal FGFR2c expression, Epithelial Mesenchymal Transition (EMT), and cell invasion in various in vitro human keratinocyte models, as well as in the in vivo context of cervical Low-grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesions (LSILs).

Cellular senescence is a response to various stress signals, which is characterized by stable cell cycle arrest, alterations in cellular morphology, metabolic reprogramming and production of senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). When it occurs in the immune system, it is called immunosenescence. Cervical cancer is a common gynecological malignancy, and cervical cancer screening is generally recommended before the age of 65.
