Aberrant RSPO1 expression is implicated in tumor progression across various cancers and correlates with anti-cancer immune cell characteristics. However, the specific role of R-spondin 1 (RSPO1) in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains unclear. In this study, we utilized data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) to assess RSPO1 expression across 33 tumor types. Kaplan-Meier (K-M) analysis revealed the prognostic significance of RSPO1 in various cancers. Using statistical software R, we examined RSPO1's associations with immune cell infiltration, methylation, mutation, and competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks. Exploration via the Tumor Immune Single Cell Hub (TISCH) database uncovered RSPO1's link to the tumor microenvironment (TME) and identified potential small molecule drug targets. We further investigated RSPO1's impact on LUAD cell proliferation, metastasis, and the Wnt pathway in vitro. Our findings highlight RSPO1's role in cancer progression and suggest its potential as both a prognostic marker and therapeutic target in LUAD, implicating the modulation of the Wnt pathway.

Metabolic reprogramming is considered one of the hallmarks of cancer in which cancer cells reprogram some of their metabolic cascades, mostly driven by the specific chemical microenvironment in cancer tissues. The altered metabolic pathways are increasingly being considered as potential targets for cancer therapy. In this view, Aldolase A (ALDOA), a key glycolytic enzyme, has been validated as a candidate oncogene in several cancers.

Background: Siglec-E is an immune checkpoint inhibitory molecule. Expression of Siglec-E on the immune cells has been shown to promote tumor regression. This study aimed to develop an adenovirus (Ad) vaccine targeting Siglec-E and carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) (Ad-Siglec-E/CAIX) and to evaluate its potential antitumor effects in several preclinical renal cancer models.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have emerged as critical regulators in cancer biology, contributing to various cancer hallmarks, including cell proliferation, apoptosis, metastasis, and drug resistance. Defined by their covalently closed loop structure, circRNAs possess unique characteristics like high stability, abundance, and tissue-specific expression. These non-coding RNAs function through mechanisms such as miRNA sponging, interactions with RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), and modulating transcription and splicing.

Background: Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) is a significant health concern, characterized by a lack of specific therapies and limited treatment options for patients in advanced stages. This study aims to identify key molecules of prognostic importance in LUSC and provide an experimental foundation for their potential therapeutic applications.
Methods: Immune-related transcriptome expression analysis was performed on LUSC samples using the NanoString digital gene analysis system to develop a prognostic transcriptomic signature.
