Gynecological cancers are a leading cause of mortality for women, including ovarian cancer (OC), cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CESC), and uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC). Nevertheless, these gynecological cancer types have not elucidated the role of cuproptosis and the correlated tumor microenvironment (TME) infiltration features. CRGs had important potential molecular functions and prognostic significance in gynecological cancers, especially in UCEC. Hub CRG, FDX1, was correlated with the CD8+ T cell immune infiltration in UCEC and CESC. FDX1 OE could significantly repress the proliferation ability in UCEC cells by MTT, EdU, and clone formation. High levels of FDX1 could repress ATP and lactic acid but enhance ROS and glucose levels by metabolism assay. The xenograft tumor model indicated that FDX1 OE significantly inhibited the growth of UCEC and attenuated the PCNA, HK2, PKM2, and Ki-67 expression. These CRGs are significant roles that could be potential markers and treatment targets to optimize the TME immune cell infiltration features for gynecological cancer types. FDX1 is a hub CRGs in UCEC to promote immune infiltration and attenuate proliferation and metabolism.

The P2YR is activated by UDP and UDP glucose and is involved in many human inflammatory diseases. Based on the molecular docking analysis of currently reported P2YR antagonists and the crystallographic overlap study between PPTN and compound , a series of 3-substituted 5-amidobenzoate derivatives were designed, synthesized, and identified as promising P2YR antagonists. The optimal compound (methyl 3-(1-benzo[]imidazol-2-yl)-5-(2-(-tolyl) acetamido)benzoate, IC = 0.

Objectives: Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are tissue-resident lymphocytes that have vital roles in activating further immune responses. However, due to their tumor-induced diversity, we decided to examine ILCs, T cells, and the associated cytokines in mouse models of breast cancer.
Materials And Methods: 4T1 and MC4-L2 cells were used to induce triple-negative and hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer, respectively.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a highly malignant and aggressive gastrointestinal tumor. Due to its weak immunogenicity and limited immune, cell infiltration lead to ineffective clinical outcomes. Therefore, to improve the current prophylaxis and treatment scheme, offering a favorable strategy efficient against CRC is urgently needed.

Background: Neoadjuvant, endocrine, and targeted therapies have significantly improved the prognosis of breast cancer (BC). However, due to the high heterogeneity of cancer, some patients cannot benefit from existing treatments. Increasing evidence suggests that amino acids and their metabolites can alter the tumor malignant behavior through reshaping tumor microenvironment and regulation of immune cell function.

Background: Different doses of radiotherapy (RT) exert diverse effects on tumor immunity, although the precise irradiation method remains unknown. This study sought to elucidate the influence of combining different doses of RT with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) on the infiltration of CD8T cells within tumors, thereby augmenting the anti-tumor response.
Methods: Constructing a mouse model featuring bilateral lung cancer tumors subjected to high and low dose irradiation, the analysis of RNA transcriptome sequencing data and immunohistochemical validation for tumors exposed to various dosages guided the selection of the optimal low-dose irradiation scheme.
