This study aimed to explore advances in biomarkers related to anti-angiogenic therapy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), thereby enhancing treatment selection, advancing personalized and precision medicine to improve treatment outcomes and patient survival rates. This article reviews key discoveries in predictive biomarkers for anti-angiogenic therapy in NSCLC in recent years, such as (1) liquid biopsy predictive biomarkers: studies have identified activated circulating endothelial cells (aCECs) via liquid biopsy as potential predictive biomarkers for the efficacy of anti-angiogenic therapy; (2) imaging biomarkers: advanced imaging technologies, such as dynamic contrast-enhanced integrated magnetic resonance positron emission tomography (MR-PET), are used to assess tumor angiogenesis in patients with NSCLC and evaluate the clinical efficacy of anti-angiogenic drugs; (3) genetic predictive biomarkers: research has explored polymorphisms of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor-1 (VEGFR-1) and vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A), as well as how plasma levels of VEGF-A can predict the outcomes and prognosis of patients with non-squamous NSCLC undergoing chemotherapy combined with bevacizumab. Despite progress in identifying biomarkers related to anti-angiogenic therapy, several challenges remain, including limitations in clinical trials, heterogeneity in NSCLC, and technical hurdles. Future research will require extensive clinical validation and in-depth mechanistic studies to fully exploit the potential of these biomarkers for personalized treatment.

Metagenomic characterization of oral microbiome signatures to predict upper gastrointestinal and pancreaticobiliary cancers: a case-control study.
J Transl Med
January 2025
Department of Laboratory Medicine, Seoul National University College of Medicine, 103, Daehak-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, 03080, Republic of Korea.
Background: This study investigated the oral microbiome signatures associated with upper gastrointestinal (GI) and pancreaticobiliary cancers.
Methods: Saliva samples from cancer patients and age- and sex-matched healthy controls were analyzed using 16S rRNA-targeted sequencing, followed by comprehensive bioinformatics analysis.
Results: Significant dissimilarities in microbial composition were observed between cancer patients and controls across esophageal cancer (EC), gastric cancer (GC), biliary tract cancer (BC), and pancreatic cancer (PC) groups (R = 0.
Evaluation of glomerular filtration rate estimation through plasma clearance of iohexol in seagulls (Larus michahellis).

Department of Veterinary Sciences, Veterinary Teaching Hospital "Mario Modenato", University of Pisa, via Livornese snc, San Piero a Grado, Pisa, Italy.
Background: Current endogenous indicators utilised in avian medicine are not sensitive enough to detect renal disease in its early stages. Alternative markers ought to be examined as a result. The aim is to investigate the accuracy of limited-sampling models for glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in adult seagulls using plasma clearance of iohexol (IOX).

Department of General Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, Suzhou, 215006, China.
Background: Rectal cancer is a highly heterogeneous gastrointestinal tumor, and the prognosis for patients with treatment-resistant and metastatic rectal cancer remains poor. Mitophagy, a type of selective autophagy that targets mitochondria, plays a role in promoting or inhibiting tumors; however, the importance of mitophagy-related genes (MRGs) in the prognosis and treatment of rectal cancer is unclear.
Methods: In this study, we used the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and MRGs from the TCGA-READ dataset to identify differentially expressed mitophagy-related genes (MRDEGs).

Immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed the treatment paradigm for advanced-stage squamous non-small-cell lung cancer (LUSC), a histological subtype associated with inferior outcomes compared with lung adenocarcinoma. However, only a subset of patients derive durable clinical benefit. In the first-line setting, multiple ICI regimens are available, including anti-PD-(L)1 antibodies as monotherapy, in combination with chemotherapy, or with an anti-CTLA4 antibody with or without chemotherapy.

Cellular senescence contributes to a variety of pathologies associated with aging and is implicated as a cellular state in which cancer cells can survive treatment. Reported senolytic drug treatments act through varying molecular mechanisms, but heterogeneous efficacy across the diverse contexts of cellular senescence indicates a need for predictive biomarkers of senolytic activity. Using multi-parametric analyses of commonly reported molecular features of the senescent phenotype, we assayed a variety of models, including malignant and nonmalignant cells, using several triggers of senescence induction and found little univariate predictive power of these traditional senescence markers to identify senolytic drug sensitivity.
