Two splicing variants exist in NFYA that exhibit high expression in many human tumour types. The balance in their expression correlates with prognosis in breast cancer, but functional differences remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that NFYAv1, a long-form variant, upregulates the transcription of essential lipogenic enzymes ACACA and FASN to enhance the malignant behavior of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Loss of the NFYAv1-lipogenesis axis strongly suppresses malignant behavior in vitro and in vivo, indicating that the NFYAv1-lipogenesis axis is essential for TNBC malignant behavior and that the axis might be a potential therapeutic target for TNBC. Furthermore, mice deficient in lipogenic enzymes, such as Acly, Acaca, and Fasn, exhibit embryonic lethality; however, Nfyav1-deficient mice exhibited no apparent developmental abnormalities. Our results indicate that the NFYAv1-lipogenesis axis has tumour-promoting effects and that NFYAv1 may be a safe therapeutic target for TNBC.

Relationship between CTF1 gene expression and prognosis and tumor immune microenvironment in glioma.
Eur J Med Res

Department of Neurosurgery, National Cancer Center/National Clinical Research Center for Cancer/Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, No 17 Panjiayuan Nanli, Chaoyang District, Beijing, 100021, People's Republic of China.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate CTF1 expression in glioma, its relationship to patient prognosis and the tumor immune microenvironment, and effects on glioma phenotypes to identify a new therapeutic target for treating glioma precisely.
Methods: We initially assessed the expression of CTF1, a member of the IL-6 family, in glioma, using bioinformatics tools and publicly available databases. Furthermore, we examined the correlation between CTF1 expression and tumor prognosis, DNA methylation patterns, m6A-related genes, potential biological functions, the immune microenvironment, and genes associated with immune checkpoints.
Elevated miR-221-3p inhibits epithelial-mesenchymal transition and biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer via targeting KPNA2: an evidence-based and knowledge-guided strategy.

Background: Prostate cancer (PCa) is commonly occurred among males worldwide and its prognosis could be influenced by biochemical recurrence (BCR). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are functional regulators in carcinogenesis, and miR-221-3p was reported as one of the significant candidates deregulated in PCa. However, its regulatory pattern in PCa BCR across literature reports was not consistent, and the targets and mechanisms in PCa malignant transition and BCR are less explored.

Predicting the biological behavior and time to recurrence (TTR) of high-grade diffuse gliomas (HGG) after maximum safe neurosurgical resection and combined radiation and chemotherapy plays a pivotal role in planning clinical follow-up, selecting potentially necessary second-line treatment and improving the quality of life for patients diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. The current standard-of-care (SoC) for HGG includes follow-up neuroradiological imaging to detect recurrence as early as possible and relies on several clinical, neuropathological, and radiological prognostic factors, which have limited accuracy in predicting TTR. In this study, using an in-silico analysis, we aim to improve predictive power for TTR by considering the role of (i) prognostically relevant information available through diagnostics used in the current SoC, (ii) advanced image-based information not currently part of the standard diagnostic workup, such as tumor-normal tissue interface (edge) features and quantitative data specific to biopsy positions within the tumor, and (iii) information on tumor-associated macrophages.

Background: Although pentatricopeptide repeat domain 1 (PTCD1) has been found to modulate mitochondrial metabolic and oxidative phosphorylation, its contribution in the growth of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) remains unknown.
Methods: The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset was utilized to examine the transcriptional alterations, patient characteristics, clinical outcomes, as well as pathway activation of PTCD1. The Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) was performed to investigate potential genes that associated with PTCD1.
Experiences of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer participating in a supervised exercise intervention during chemotherapy.

Department of Medical BioSciences (HP 928), Radboud University Medical Center, Geert Grooteplein Zuid 10, 6525GA, Nijmegen, The Netherlands.
Purpose: Patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) undergoing systemic treatment often experience toxicities. Although exercise may improve physical fitness and quality of life and counteract treatment toxicity, knowledge in patients with mCRC is limited. The ongoing randomized controlled AMICO trial evaluates the effects of supervised exercise on clinical outcomes.
