Published: June 2021

In this issue, Maimaitiyiming and colleagues demonstrate thermic stress-induced PML/RARA oncogenic fusion protein destabilization driven by corepressor aggregation. Hyperthermia synergizes with PML/RARA degradation by ATO and may circumvent ATO-resistance in historical APL patients. This novel approach could be extended to other corepressor-associated oncogenic fusion proteins.

Background: Adenocarcinoma of the esophagus and stomach demands a deeper molecular understanding to advance treatment strategies and improve patient outcomes. Here, we profiled the genome and transcriptome landscape of these cancers, explored molecular characteristics that are undetectable by other sequencing platforms, and analyzed their potential clinical ramifications.

Methods: Our study employed state-of-the-art integrative analyses of whole genome and transcriptome sequencing on 51 matched tumor and germline samples from 46 patients.

Synovial sarcoma (SS) is a rare soft tissue sarcoma characterized by high-grade malignancy and poor prognosis. Preliminary research indicates that apoptosis evasion is a key factor in SS progression, primarily attributed to the overexpression of anti-apoptotic genes. However, the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are still not fully understood.

Background: While targeted therapies have transformed the treatment landscape of oncogene-addicted non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the influence of sex on treatment outcomes remains insufficiently understood.

Objectives: This systematic review aimed to investigate the impact of sex on clinical outcomes in patients with NSCLC harboring driver fusions treated with targeted therapies enrolled in clinical trials.

Data Sources And Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted using PubMed, Embase, and relevant conference abstracts to identify phase III randomized and early clinical trials that reported sex-specific data, including progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), overall response rate, and adverse events (AEs), in patients with fusion-positive NSCLC treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).

Objective: Hematological malignancies often involve chromosomal translocations and fusion genes that drive disease progression. While is well-known in T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL), its role in myeloid neoplasms is less understood. This report presents the first identification of the t(X;1)(q28;q21) translocation leading to the fusion in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) transformed from chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML).

Background: Ewing sarcoma (ES), the second main pediatric bone sarcoma, is characterised by a chromosomal translocation leading to the formation of fusion proteins like EWS::FLI1. While several studies have shown that potassium channels drive the development of many tumours, limited data exist on ES. This work therefore aimed to study the transcriptional regulation of KCNA2 and define the involvement of the Kv1.
