Insights into the mechanisms driving lung tumorigenesis and response to immune checkpoint blockade could help identify potential biomarkers and approaches to improve immunotherapy efficacy. To better understand the immunobiology of lung cancer, Jang and colleagues performed extensive single-cell and spatial analysis of the tumor microenvironment during lung cancer progression. Imaging mass cytometry showed proliferative PD-1–expressing macrophages cluster in the solid component of invasive lung adenocarcinoma.

Cancer Research Highlights
Genome and Epigenome
Computational Identification of Preneoplastic Cells Displaying High Stemness and Risk of Cancer Progression
This study develops a computational strategy to dissect the heterogeneity of differentiation states within a preneoplastic cell population, allowing identification of stem-like cells that may drive cancer progression.
Chromatin Rewiring by Mismatch Repair Protein MSH2 Alters Cell Adhesion Pathways and Sensitivity to BET Inhibition in Gastric Cancer
DNA repair protein MSH2 binds and regulates cell adhesion genes by enabling enhancer–promoter interactions, and loss of MSH2 causes deficient cell adhesion and bromodomain and extraterminal motif inhibitor synthetic lethality in gastric cancer.
Metabolism and Chemical Biology
Activity and Resistance of a Brain-Permeable Paradox Breaker BRAF Inhibitor in Melanoma Brain Metastasis
A brain-penetrant BRAF inhibitor demonstrates potent activity in brain metastatic melanoma, even upon relapse following standard BRAF inhibitor therapy, supporting further investigation into its clinical utility.
Cyclocreatine Suppresses Creatine Metabolism and Impairs Prostate Cancer Progression
Enhanced creatine uptake drives prostate cancer progression and confers a metabolic vulnerability to treatment with the creatine analog cyclocreatine.
Molecular Cell Biology
Proteomic Mapping and Targeting of Mitotic Pericentriolar Material in Tumors Bearing Centrosome Amplification
This study identifies the proteome of pericentriolar material and reveals therapeutic vulnerabilities in tumors bearing centrosome amplification.
Tumor Biology and Immunology
Therapeutic Targeting of Macrophage Plasticity Remodels the Tumor-Immune Microenvironment
Comprehensive single-cell proteomics analyses of lung adenocarcinoma progression reveal the role of tumor-associated macrophages in resistance to PD-1 blockade therapy.
Preclinical Development and Evaluation of Allogeneic CAR T Cells Targeting CD70 for the Treatment of Renal Cell Carcinoma
These findings demonstrate the efficacy and safety of fratricide-resistant, allogeneic anti-CD70 CAR T cells targeting renal cell carcinoma and the impact of CAR epitope on functional activity.
A Genome-Wide Screen Identifies PDPK1 as a Target to Enhance the Efficacy of MEK1/2 Inhibitors in NRAS Mutant Melanoma
Targeting PDPK1 stimulates antitumor immunity and sensitizes NRAS mutant melanoma to MEK inhibition, providing rationale for the clinical development of a combinatorial approach for treating patients with melanoma.
Intracellular Acetyl CoA Potentiates the Therapeutic Efficacy of Antitumor CD8+ T Cells
IL12-mediated metabolic reprogramming increases intracellular acetyl CoA to promote the effector function of CD8+ T cells in nutrient-depleted tumor microenvironments, revealing strategies to potentiate the antitumor efficacy of T cells.
