Cancer Research Highlights

Genome and Epigenome

This work identifies a novel promoter that drives aberrant FOXR2 expression and delineates FOXR2 as a pan-cancer oncogene that specifically activates ETS transcriptional circuits across human cancers.

Repairing KRAS mutations with base editors can be used for providing a better understanding of RAS biology and may lay the foundation for improved treatments for KRAS-mutant cancers.

The function of CEP170, NUCKS1, and ZC3H11A mRNAs as competitive endogenous RNAs that sequester tumor suppressor microRNAs underlies the oncogenic activity of chromosome 1q gains.

Metabolism and Chemical Biology

This study reveals PTEN and p53 deficiency confers a dependence on SQLE-mediated cholesterol metabolism, providing insights for new therapeutic strategies for treating castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Molecular Cell Biology

This study finds that sustained oncogenic signaling in therapy-induced cytostatic cancer cells confers targetable vulnerabilities to deplete persistent cancer cell populations and reduce cancer recurrence.

The identification of KPNB1 as a nuclear import receptor for lineage-defining transcription factors in SCLC reveals a viable therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment.

The identification of a tumor-promoting role of DDX24 and the elucidation of the underlying regulatory mechanism provide potential prognostic indicators and therapeutic approaches to help improve the outcome of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

CHD1 plays a critical role in controlling AURKA activation and promoting Aurora kinase inhibitor sensitivity, providing a potential clinical biomarker to guide cancer treatment.

This study finds that cholesterol biosynthesis supports the expansion of cancer stem cell populations to drive resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy in hepatocellular carcinoma, identifying potential therapeutic approaches for improving cancer treatment.

Tumor Biology and Immunology

Single-cell analysis of healthy lung tissue and lung cancer reveals distinct tumor cell populations, including cells with differential immune modulating capacity between smokers and never smokers, which could guide future therapeutic strategies

Identification of an immunostimulatory function of dopamine signaling by promoting tissue-resident memory T-cell differentiation and sustaining T-cell effector functions reveals potential therapeutic strategies and prognostic biomarkers for colorectal cancer.

Downregulation of RET mediated by MAB21L4–CacyBP interaction is required to induce epidermal differentiation and suppress carcinogenesis, suggesting RET inhibition as a potential therapeutic approach in squamous cell carcinoma.

Translational Science

This study provides mechanistic insights into how RAR agonists suppress prostate cancer–induced bone formation and offers a rationale for developing RAR agonists for prostate cancer bone metastasis therapy.

The sex-dependent effects of DDX3X deficiency in malignant transformation of B cells and the compensatory role of DDX3Y support inhibition of DDX3 as a treatment strategy for MYC-driven B-cell lymphoma.
