Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is a highly aggressive disease with poor prognosis. Elucidating the biology of the tumor immune microenvironment (TiME) can provide vital insights into mechanisms of tumor progression. A computational pathology framework was developed to delineate the subtle distinctions in TiME spatial architectures for prognostic biomarker discovery. Spatial networks within the TiME were constructed to model topological cell–cell interactions. For details, see article by Mi and colleagues on page 4359. - PDF Icon PDF LinkTable of Contents

Molecular Cell Biology
Targeting STAT5 Signaling Overcomes Resistance to IDH Inhibitors in Acute Myeloid Leukemia through Suppression of Stemness
A CRISPR knockout screen identifies a mechanism of resistance to IDH inhibitors in AML involving activated STAT5 signaling, suggesting a potential strategy to improve the clinical efficacy of IDH inhibitors.
MNX1-AS1 Promotes Phase Separation of IGF2BP1 to Drive c-Myc–Mediated Cell-Cycle Progression and Proliferation in Lung Cancer
MNX1-AS1 drives phase separation of IGF2BP1 to increase c-Myc and E2F1 signaling and to activate cell-cycle progression to promote proliferation in NSCLC.
Tumor Biology and Immunology
Quantitative Spatial Profiling of Immune Populations in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Reveals Tumor Microenvironment Heterogeneity and Prognostic Biomarkers
Quantitative image analysis of PDAC specimens reveals intertumoral and intratumoral heterogeneity of immune populations and identifies spatial immune architectures that are significantly associated with disease prognosis.
Depletion of Conventional Type-1 Dendritic Cells in Established Tumors Suppresses Immunotherapy Efficacy
These findings reveal the intratumoral behavior of cDC1 dendritic cells in transgenic mouse models and demonstrate that the efficacy of immunotherapy regimens is precluded by elimination of these cells.
Stress-Mediated Attenuation of Translation Undermines T-cell Activity in Cancer
Proteasome function is a necessary cellular component for endowing T cells with tumor killing capacity by mitigating translation attenuation resulting from the unfolded protein response induced by stress in the tumor microenvironment.
Loss of LOXL2 Promotes Uterine Hypertrophy and Tumor Progression by Enhancing H3K36ac-Dependent Gene Expression
LOXL2 loss reprograms the epigenetic landscape to promote uterine cancer initiation and progression and repress the efficacy of anti–PD-1 immunotherapy, indicating that LOXL2 is a tumor suppressor.
Endothelial RBPJ Is Essential for the Education of Tumor-Associated Macrophages
Endothelial Notch signaling favors immunosuppression by increasing CXCL2 secretion to stimulate CD44 expression in macrophages, facilitating their education by tumor cells.
Translational Science
Transient Systemic Autophagy Inhibition Is Selectively and Irreversibly Deleterious to Lung Cancer
Transient loss of systemic autophagy causes irreversible damage to tumors by suppressing cancer cell metabolism and promoting antitumor immunity, supporting autophagy inhibition as a rational strategy for treating lung cancer.
Sustained Aurora Kinase B Expression Confers Resistance to PI3K Inhibition in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Aurora B signaling facilitates resistance to PI3K inhibition in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, suggesting that combined inhibition of PI3K and Aurora kinase is a rational therapeutic strategy to overcome resistance.
Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition Supports Ovarian Carcinosarcoma Tumorigenesis and Confers Sensitivity to Microtubule Targeting with Eribulin
Genomic analyses and preclinical models of ovarian carcinosarcoma support the conversion theory for disease development and indicate that microtubule inhibitors could be used to suppress EMT and stimulate antitumor immunity.
Convergence and Technologies
Doxorubicin-Loaded Polymeric Meshes Prevent Local Recurrence after Sarcoma Resection While Avoiding Cardiotoxicity
A proof-of-principle study in animal models shows that a novel local drug delivery approach can prevent tumor recurrence as well as drug-related adverse events following surgical resection of soft-tissue sarcomas.
