Diagnosis and Treatment of Myxoid Liposarcoma.

Curr Treat Options Oncol

October 2024

Department of Bone and Soft Tissue Cancer, The Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University & Henan Cancer Hospital, Dongming Road 127, Zhengzhou, China.

Article Synopsis
  • - Myxoid liposarcoma (MLS) is a rare soft tissue sarcoma distinguished by its tendency to spread beyond the lungs and its unique MRI characteristics that help detect both primary and secondary tumors.
  • - It is defined by a specific genetic alteration (FUS-DDIT3 gene fusion), and diagnosis is crucial for determining treatment options. Surgery is the primary treatment, often combined with radiotherapy or chemotherapy to lower chances of local recurrence and improve survival rates.
  • - Ongoing research aims to create new therapies for advanced or unresectable MLS by studying its genetic and phenotypic traits, as well as the tumor's interaction with the immune system.

Translational Medical Center, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, Henan, China; Department of Hematology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, Henan, China. Electronic address:

Article Synopsis
  • CAR-T therapy shows promise in treating blood cancers and is being explored for solid tumors and autoimmune diseases, but finding the best cytokine for maintaining CAR-T cells in lab conditions is still a challenge.
  • Using single-cell RNA sequencing, the study examined how different cytokines (IL-2, IL-12, IL-21) affect CAR-T cells, revealing that IL-2 and IL-12 lead to exhaustion and aging of the cells, while IL-21 helps prevent these issues.
  • The research highlights that incorporating IL-21 in CAR-T cell cultures may enhance their longevity by preserving their metabolic function, suggesting a potential combination strategy with other cytokines for better therapy outcomes. *

October 2024

The Pathophysiology Department, School of Basic Medical Sciences, Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, China.

Article Synopsis
  • Scientists need new ways to prevent and treat a type of throat cancer called esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).
  • In this study, researchers found out that a protein called DDX5 helps this cancer grow by working with another molecule called VAV3, making it stick around longer in cells.
  • They discovered a substance called Methylnissolin-3-β-D-O-glucoside (MD) that can slow down the cancer by targeting DDX5 and stopping it from helping the cancer grow.

Research Progress on Ferroptosis in Multiple Myeloma.

Curr Treat Options Oncol

October 2024

Department of Hematology, The Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University & Henan Cancer Hospital, Zhengzhou, 450008, Henan, China.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most common hematological malignant (HM) tumor, and a large proportion of patients still suffer from treatment failure and a poor prognosis despite the use of some newly approved drugs, a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanism is still needed. Ferroptosis is a new form of programmed cell death (PCD) that is different from other traditional forms of cell death such as apoptosis, necrosis and autophagy. With the continuous deepening of research on ferroptosis, ferroptosis has been found to be closely related to MM.

Deciphering the composition of the tumor microenvironment (TME) is critical for understanding tumorigenesis and to design immunotherapies. In the present study, we mapped genetic effects on cell-type proportions using single-cell and bulk RNA sequencing data, identifying 3,494 immunity quantitative trait loci (immunQTLs) across 23 cancer types from The Cancer Genome Atlas. Functional annotation revealed regulatory potential and we further assigned 1,668 genes that regulate TME composition.

Inositol 1,4,5-Trisphosphate Receptor-Interacting Protein-Like 1 (ITPRIPL1), a single-pass type I membrane protein located in the membrane, functions as an inhibitory ligand of CD3ε. Recent studies have shown that its expression suppresses T cells activation and promote tumor immune evasion. Despite increasing evidence suggesting that ITPRIPL1 plays a significant role in tumor growth, no systematic pan-cancer analysis of ITPRIPL1 has been conducted to date.
