Cancer Research Highlights

Priority Report

This work establishes direct functions for mSWI/SNF in translation and demonstrates that alterations in mSWI/SNF confer a therapeutic vulnerability to translation pathway inhibitors in cancer cells.

Genome and Epigenome

Hybrid-capture, targeted deep sequencing of lung cancer mutational burden in cell-free BAL fluid identifies more tumor-derived mutations with increased allele frequencies compared with plasma cell-free DNA.

With immunotherapies and inhibitors of metabolic enzymes in clinical development, the altered lipid metabolism and immune response in African-American men provides potential therapeutic opportunities to attenuate racial disparities in prostate cancer.

Molecular Cell Biology

This study reveals that activation of p53 in hepatocytes promotes liver carcinogenesis derived from HPCs, which elucidates a paradoxical aspect of a tumor suppressor p53 and novel mechanism of liver carcinogenesis.

The identification of an oncogenic function of PRC2 heterogeneity in medulloblastoma provides insights into subclone competition and cooperation during heterogeneous tumor evolution.

This study identifies D-AS2 as a targetable lipid-related long noncoding RNA that increases phospholipase D activity to promote YAP signaling, triggering chemoresistance in SCC.

Tumor Biology and Immunology

Paired syngeneic models help unravel the interplay between CAF and tumor immune evasion, highlighting the benefits of targeting fibroblast subpopulations to improve clinical responses to immunotherapy.

This study leverages large datasets to investigate the evolutionary landscape of established cancer genes to shed new light upon the mystery of cancer dissemination and expand the understanding of metastatic cancer biology.

Translational Science

Evaluation of the functional impact of HER2 mutations on therapy-induced resistance and metastasis identifies robust antitumor activity of poziotinib and supports the clinical evaluation of poziotinib in ER+ HER2 mutant breast cancer.

Population and Prevention Science

This study develops a therapy-specific polygenic risk prediction model to more precisely identify childhood cancer survivors at high risk for pulmonary complications, which could help improve risk stratification for other late effects.
