Vaccines have been used to fight and protect against infectious diseases for centuries. With the emergence of immunotherapy in cancer treatment, researchers began investigating vaccines that could be used against cancer, especially against tumors that are resistant to conservative chemotherapy, surgery, and radiotherapy. The Wilms' tumor 1 (WT1) protein is immunogenic, has been detected in almost all types of malignancies, and has played a significant role in prognosis and disease monitoring. In this article, we review recent developments in the treatment of various types of cancers with the WT1 cancer vaccine; we also discuss theoretic considerations of various therapeutic approaches, which were based on preclinical and clinical data.

Background: RNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) regulators are essential for numerous biological processes and are implicated in various diseases. However, the comprehensive role of m6A regulators in the context of liver transplantation (LT) remains poorly understood. This study aimed to illustrate the relationship between m6A regulators and ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) following LT.

N6-methyladenosine (mA) is one of the most prevalent modifications found in eukaryotic mRNA and has been implicated in the regulation of cell proliferation, development, invasion, apoptosis, and immunity. In this study, we first conducted a structural and evolutionary analysis of Wilms' tumour 1-associating protein (WTAP) in vertebrates, and the results showed that WTAP in vertebrates is conserved particularly in mammals and fish. We subsequently investigated the involvement of WTAP in the antiviral immune response of fish and discovered that the expression of Miichthys miiuy (mmiWTAP) decreased in response to stimulation with Siniperca chuatsi rhabdovirus (SCRV) and poly(I:C).

Wilms tumor (WT) is the most common kidney cancer in infants and young children. The determination of the clonality of bilateral WTs is critical to the treatment, because lineage-independent and metastatic tumors may require different treatment strategies. Here we found synchronous bilateral WT (n = 24 tumors from 12 patients) responded differently to preoperative chemotherapy.

Background: The complexity of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is increasingly recognized through the identification of distinct subgroups, including those with an APL-like immunophenotype characterized by the absence of CD34 and HLA-DR expression, which is widely recognized as a representative immunophenotype in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). This study sought to understand the clinical, molecular, and prognostic differences between AML patients with and without this phenotype.
Methods: This study retrospectively analysed 191 de novo non-M3 AML patients and identified 32 patients with the CD34HLA-DR phenotype resembling APL-like immunophenotype, considered as the experimental group.
