AI Article Synopsis

  • * High levels of circ_0006225 were found in lung cancer tissues and cells resistant to cisplatin, while its deletion improved sensitivity to the drug and reduced tumor growth in resistant cells.
  • * Circ_0006225 was shown to regulate the gene ANKRD22 by interacting with microRNA miR-1236-3p, indicating that targeting this pathway could be a potential strategy to overcome cisplatin resistance in lung cancer patients.

Article Abstract

Cisplatin-based chemotherapy is the mainstay of therapeutic agents for lung cancer. Hence, we investigated the role and mechanism of circ_0006225 in tumorigenesis and cisplatin resistance in lung cancer. Levels of circ_0006225, microRNA (miR)-1236-3p and ankyrin repeat domain 22 (ANKRD22) were detected. Cell cisplatin (DDP) sensitivity and growth were determined by Cell Counting Kit-8, cell colony formation, 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine, and murine xenograft assays, respectively. A high level of circ_0006225 in lung cancer tissues and cells with cisplatin resistance was observed. Circ_0006225 deletion elevated cisplatin sensitivity and constrained proliferation in DDP-resistant lung cancer cells in vitro. Mechanistically, Circ_0006225 was confirmed to modulate ANKRD22 by sequestering miR-1236-3p. Furthermore, the suppressive effects of circ_0006225 downregulation on cisplatin resistance and proliferation in DDP-resistant lung cancer cells were reversed by miR-1236-3p inhibition or ANKRD22 overexpression. Besides that, circ_0006225 silencing also repressed cisplatin resistance and tumor growth in lung cancer in vivo. In conclusion, knockdown of circ_0006225 restrained the growth and reduced cisplatin resistance in lung cancer by the miR-1236-3p/ANKRD22 axis, suggesting a better effective therapeutic target for overcoming cisplatin resistance in lung cancer patients.

Co-blocking TIGIT and PVRIG using a novel bispecific antibody enhances anti-tumor immunity.

Mol Cancer Ther

January 2025

Jiangsu Hengrui Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd, Shanghai, China.

TIGIT and PVRIG are immune checkpoints co-expressed on activated T and NK cells, contributing to tumor immune evasion. Simultaneous blockade of these pathways may enhance therapeutic efficacy, positioning them as promising dual targets for cancer immunotherapy. This study aimed to develop a bispecific antibody (BsAb) to co-target TIGIT and PVRIG.

Objectives: Despite the widely recognised high mortality rate among patients with hip fracture, the variation in death rates by gender and cause has been less explored. This study aimed to investigate mortality rates and causes of death in patients who underwent hip fracture surgery, and to compare them with those of the general population. A secondary objective was to compare the results of Internal Fixation versus Arthroplasty in these patients.

Background: Dysbiosis of the lung microbiome can contribute to the initiation and progression of lung cancer. Synchronous multiple primary lung cancer (sMPLC) is an increasingly recognized subtype of lung cancer characterized by high morbidity, difficulties in early detection, poor prognosis, and substantial clinical challenges. However, the relationship between sMPLC pathogenesis and changes in the lung microbiome remains unclear.

Subtype-specific human endogenous retrovirus K102 envelope protein is a novel serum immunosuppressive biomarker of cancer.

Front Immunol

January 2025

Department of Hematology and Cancer Institute (Key Laboratory of Cancer Prevention and Intervention, China National Ministry of Education), The Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, China.

Immune dysfunction is one of the hallmarks of cancer and plays critical roles in immunotherapy resistance, but there is no serum biomarker that can be used to evaluate immune-dysfunction status of cancer patients. Here, we identified subtype-specific human endogenous retrovirus K102 envelope (HERV-K102-Env) with immunosuppressive activity in circulating blood as a novel serum immunosuppressive biomarker of cancer. We first generated monoclonal antibodies against K102-Env with high sensitivity and specificity, and we developed an ELISA assay to detect serum K102-Env.

Background: Thoracic SMARCA4-deficient undifferentiated tumors (SMARCA4-UT) exhibit a notably aggressive phenotype, which is associated with poor patient survival outcomes. These tumors are generally resistant to conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy, thereby limiting the availability of effective treatment options.

Case Presentation: We describe a 69-year-old AIDS patient who initially presented with a fused, enlarged lymph node on the right clavicle and mild, unexplained pain under the right axilla that worsened with severe coughing episodes.
