The high incidence of breast cancer (BC) is linked to metastasis, facilitated by tumor angiogenesis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) are small non-coding RNA molecules that have an essential role in gene expression and are significantly linked to the tumor development and angiogenesis process in different types of cancer, including BC. There's increasing evidence showed that various miRNAs play a significant role in disease processes; specifically, they are observed and over-expressed in a wide range of diseases linked to the angiogenesis process. However, more studies are required to reach the best findings and identify the link among miRNA expression, angiogenic pathways, and immune response-related genes to find new therapeutic targets. Here, we summarized the recent updates on miRNA signatures and their cellular targets in the development of breast tumor angiogenetic and discussed the strategies associated with miRNA-based therapeutic targets as anti-angiogenic response.

Institute of Ophthalmology, School of Medicine, Jinan University, Guangzhou, China.
Purpose: To investigate the therapeutic efficacy of BEZ235, a dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor, in suppressing pathological neovascularization in an oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) mouse model and explore the role of cyclin D1 in endothelial cell cycle regulation.
Methods: Single-cell RNA sequencing was performed to analyze gene expression and cell-cycle alterations in retinal endothelial cells under normoxic and OIR conditions. The effects of BEZ235 on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and human retinal microvascular endothelial cells (HRMECs) were evaluated by assessing cell viability, cell-cycle progression, proliferation, migration, and tube formation.

Aims: We develop and evaluate copper-based metal-organic frameworks (Cu-MOFs) incorporating cromolyn as a linker to enhance structural stability, drug delivery efficiency, and therapeutic potential, particularly for breast cancer treatment.
Materials & Methods: Two Cu-MOF formulations were synthesized: Cu-MOFs-BDC-DOX (using terephthalic acid) and Cu-MOFs-CROMO-DOX (using cromolyn as a linker). Characterization was performed using SEM/TEM for morphology, and FTIR, XRD, and TGA to confirm structural integrity.

Endometrial cancer (EC) is the second most frequent gynecological malignancy and the sixth most common women's cancer worldwide. EC incidence rate is increasing rapidly. Apart from the classical, we should consider angiogenesis and hypoxia-related genes as a reason for EC manifestation and progression.

Purpose Of Review: Neuregulin 1 (NRG1) fusions are rare but actionable oncogenic drivers that occur in a variety of tumor types, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). These fusions lead to pathophysiologic activation of HER signaling pathways, promoting tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis. Current evidence suggests that NRG1 fusion-positive NSCLC does not respond well to conventional treatments such as immunotherapy and chemotherapy.

Anti-tumor immunotherapy was rediscovered and rejuvenated in the last two decades with the discovery of CTLA-4, PD-1 and PD-L1 and the roles in inhibiting immune function and tumor evasion of anti-tumor immune response. Following the approval of the first checkpoint inhibitor ipilimumab against CTLA-4 in melanoma in 2011, there has been a rapid development of tumor immunotherapy. Furthermore, additional positive and negative molecules among the T-cell regulatory systems have been identified that that function to fine tune the stimulatory or inhibitory immune cells and modulate their functions (checkpoint modulators).
