Two human cell lines, the colon carcinoma Lovo and the transformed intestinal I-407, and their variants (Lovo/Dx and I-407/Dx), with pleiotropic resistance to cancer chemotherapeutic drugs, were examined for their susceptibility to human Interleukin-2-activated killer cells and to activated monocytes. These non-specific or broadly specific effector cells expressed cytotoxicity levels on pleiotropically resistant tumor cells comparable to those of the parental cell populations. This finding provides a rationale for immunological approaches designed to eradicate residual tumor cells surviving and resistant to cytotoxic chemotherapy.

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a globally severe cancer with an unfavorable prognosis. PANoptosis, a form of cell death regulated by PANoptosomes, plays a role in numerous cancer types. However, the specific roles of genes associated with PANoptosis in the development and advancement of ccRCC remain unclear.

Background: Lung adenocarcinoma is the most common form of lung cancer and one of the most life-threatening malignant tumors. Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent regulatory cell death pathway that is crucial for tumor growth. SNX30 is a key regulatory factor in cardiac development; however, its regulatory mechanism and role in inducing ferroptosis in lung adenocarcinoma remain unclear.

Background/aims: Gastric cancer (GC) is a significant global health issue with high incidence rates and poor prognoses, ranking among the top prevalent cancers worldwide. Due to undesirable side effects and drug resistance, there is a pressing need for the development of novel therapeutic strategies. Understanding the interconnectedness of the JAK2/STAT3/mTOR/PI3K pathway in tumorigenesis and the role of Astaxanthin (ASX), a red ketocarotenoid member of xanthophylls and potent antioxidant and anti-tumor activity, can be effective for cancer treatments.

Background: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is among the most aggressive forms of breast cancer, characterized by a dismal prognosis. In the absence of drug-targetable receptors, chemotherapy remains the sole systemic treatment alternative. Recent advancements in immunotherapy, particularly immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) that target programmed death 1/programmed death ligand 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) and cytotoxic T lymphocyte associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4), have provided renewed optimism for the treatment of patients with TNBC.
