Colorectal cancer (CRC) poses one of the most serious threats to human health worldwide, and abnormally expressed c-Myc and p53 are deemed the pivotal driving forces of CRC progression. In this study, we discovered that the lncRNA FIT, which was downregulated in CRC clinical samples, was transcriptionally suppressed by c-Myc in vitro and promoted CRC cell apoptosis by inducing FAS expression. FAS is a p53 target gene, and we found that FIT formed a trimer with RBBP7 and p53 that facilitated p53 acetylation and p53-mediated FAS gene transcription. Moreover, FIT was capable of retarding CRC growth in a mouse xenograft model, and FIT expression was positively correlated with FAS expression in clinical samples. Thus, our study elucidates the role of the lncRNA FIT in human colorectal cancer growth and provides a potential target for anti-CRC drugs.

Objectives: We focused on how the immunophenotypes based on the distribution of CD8-positive tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) relate to the endometrial cancer (EC) molecular subtypes and patients' prognosis.
Patients And Methods: Two cohorts of EC patients (total n = 145) were analyzed and categorized using the Molecular Risk Classifier for Endometrial cancer (ProMisE): POLEmut (POLE mutation), MMRd (mismatch repair deficiency), NSMP (no specific molecular profile), and p53abn (p53 abnormality). CD8-positive TILs, within the central tumor and the invasive margin, were examined by using immunohistochemical staining and advanced image-analysis software.

Objective: To investigate the clinical features, gene mutation profile, efficacy and prognostic factors of primary extranodal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(EN-DLBCL).
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed for 382 patients with primary EN-DLBCL with complete clinical data who were treated in West China Hospital from January 2013 to January 2023, and their clinical characteristics,gene mutation profile, efficacy and prognostic factors were analyzed.
Results: The median age of the 382 patients with EN-DLBCL was 56(18-89) years old.

Background: Prostate cancer is the most common diagnosed tumor and the fifth cancer related death among men in Europe. Although several genetic alterations such as ERG-TMPRSS2 fusion, MYC amplification, PTEN deletion and mutations in p53 and BRCA2 genes play a key role in the pathogenesis of prostate cancer, specific gene alteration signature that could distinguish indolent from aggressive prostate cancer or may aid in patient stratification for prognosis and/or clinical management of patients with prostate cancer is still missing. Therefore, here, by a multi-omics approach we describe a prostate cancer carrying the fusion of TMPRSS2 with ERG gene and deletion of 16q chromosome arm.

Background/aim: Lung cancer, a predominant contributor to cancer mortality, is characterized by diverse etiological factors, including tobacco smoking and genetic susceptibilities. Despite advancements, particularly in nonsmall-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), therapeutic options for lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) are limited. Transposable elements (TEs) and their regulatory proteins, such as tigger transposable element derived (TIGD) family proteins, have been implicated in cancer development.

Background And Objective: Prostate cancer is a major cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality in men globally. The pathogenesis involves complex interactions between genetic mutations and environmental factors, activating multiple signaling pathways, especially Wnt/β-catenin, PI3K/Akt, and NF-κB pathways. Tumor suppressor genes and are key inhibitors of these pathways, crucial in suppressing tumor growth and metastasis.
