Trop2 is a tumor-related antigen closely related to the development of a variety of tumors and has been identified as a promising target for cancer immunotherapy. In this study, a Trop2-IgG antibody was constructed by a eukaryotic expression system based on our previously constructed Trop2-Fab antibody. SDS-PAGE, cell ELISA, affinity assays, fluorescence staining and FACS analyses were performed to characterize Trop2-IgG. Then, CCK-8, wound healing, Transwell and annexin V-PI assays were employed to evaluate the tumor inhibitory effects of Trop2-IgG on OC in vitro, while tumor-bearing mice were constructed to examine the tumor inhibitory effects of Trop2-IgG on OC in vivo. Trop2-IgG was successfully constructed by a eukaryotic expression system and maintained recognition characteristics to Trop2 antigen. In vitro, Trop2-IgG could inhibited tumor cell growth, migration, and invasion compared to those of control cells and induced tumor cell apoptosis. In vivo, Trop2-IgG exerted critical tumor inhibitory effects in OC xenografts. Our data suggest that the use of Trop2-IgG provides a potential therapeutic strategy for the immunotherapy of Trop2-expressing OC.

LAG3 plays a regulatory role in immunity and emerged as an inhibitory immune checkpoint molecule comparable to PD-L1 and CTLA-4 and a potential target for enhancing anti-cancer immune responses. We generated 3D cancer cultures as a model to identify novel molecular biomarkers for the selection of patients suitable for α-LAG3 treatment and simultaneously the possibility to perform an early diagnosis due to its higher presence in breast cancer, also to achieve a theragnostic approach. Our data confirm the extreme dysregulation of LAG3 in breast cancer with significantly higher expression in tumor tissue specimens, compared to non-cancerous tissue controls.

Background: The dysregulation of ribosome biogenesis has been extensively identified in various cancers, making it emerge as a hallmark of malignant cells. This highlights the potential of targeting ribosome biogenesis as an effective approach for treating cancer patients. Although chemotherapy drugs including doxorubicin and cisplatin often target ribosome biogenesis to induce DNA damage or inhibit tumor cell proliferation, they are associated with significant side effects.

Overexpressed AXL kinase is involved in various human malignancies, which incurs tumor progression, poor prognosis, and drug resistance. Suppression of the aberrant AXL axis with genetic tools or small-molecule inhibitors has achieved valid antitumor efficacies in both preclinical studies and clinical antitumor campaigns. Herein we will report the design, synthesis, and structure-activity relationship (SAR) exploration of a series of anilinopyrimidine type II AXL inhibitors.

Overcoming luminal breast cancer (BrCa) progression remains a critical challenge for improved overall patient survival. RUNX2 has emerged as a protein related to aggressiveness in triple-negative BrCa, however its role in luminal tumors remains elusive. We have previously shown that active FGFR2 (FGFR2-CA) contributes to increased tumor growth and that RUNX2 expression was high in hormone-independent mouse mammary carcinomas.
