This study investigates the role of Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) in immune infiltration modulation through amino acid metabolism in gastric adenocarcinoma (STAD). Utilizing data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and validated with clinical samples, we analyzed NNMT expression and its prognostic implications in STAD. Differential amino acid profiles between cancerous and adjacent normal tissues were assessed, along with their associations with NNMT. NNMT exhibits heightened expression in STAD cancer tissues, positively correlating with tumor immune infiltration. Additionally, twenty-eight amino acids display differential expression in gastric tissue, with their metabolic enzymes showing connections to NNMT. Elevated NNMT expression in STAD tissues potentially influences amino acid metabolism, thereby affecting immune infiltration dynamics and tumorigenesis in gastric adenocarcinoma.

This study aimed to investigate the expression, prognostic significance, methylation, and immune invasion levels of secreted frizzled-related proteins (SFRP1-5) in colorectal cancer (CRC). Additionally, the relationship between SFRP1/2 methylation and immune infiltration in CRC was explored. The expression of SFRP1-5 was analyzed using several databases, including GEO, TCGA, TIMER, STRING, and GEPIA.

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) represents one of the most common subtypes of lung cancer with high rates of incidence and mortality, which contributes to substantial health and economic demand across the globe. Treatment today mainly consists of surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, but their efficacy in advanced stages is often suboptimal and emphasizes the clear need for new biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Using comprehensive bioinformatics analyses consisting of the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), Human Protein Atlas (HPA) and Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC), immune infiltration analysis and functional enrichment analysis, and single-cell analysis, we examined the potential of keratin 18 (KRT18) as a candidate biomarker in advanced LUAD.

Telomeres are crucial for cancer progression. Immune signalling in the tumour microenvironment has been shown to be very important in cancer prognosis. However, the mechanisms by which telomeres might affect tumour immune response remain poorly understood.

Hypoxia represents a crucial characteristic of the tumor microenvironment, which is closely related to cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and metabolic responses. These factors will further promote tumor progression, increase tumor invasion, and enhance tumor metastasis potential. A hypoxic microenvironment will also inhibit the activity of infiltrated immune cells in the tumor microenvironment, leading to the failure of cancer immunotherapy.
