Genome and Epigenome

Analysis of associations between the germline genetic background and somatic mutations in patients with cancer suggests that germline variants can influence local and global tumor mutations by altering expression of cancer-related genes.

DNA methylation analysis reveals the molecular characteristics of PCBM and may serve as a starting point for efforts to identify and target susceptibilities of these rare metastases.

Single-cell transcriptomic profiling and multiomic cross-validation to uncover therapeutic targets identifies 38 myeloma marker genes, including 11 transcribing surface proteins with previously uncharacterized potential for targeted antitumor therapy.

G-quadruplex structure formation constitutes a critical step in the production of somatic structural variants in cancers, suggesting G-quadruplex structures as potential targets for future cancer prevention and treatment strategies.

Metabolism and Chemical Biology

Fructose metabolism in endothelial cells fuels mitochondrial respiration to stimulate tumor angiogenesis, revealing fructose metabolism as a therapeutic target and fructose restriction as a dietary intervention for treating cancer.

Molecular Cell Biology

AKT binds and phosphorylates SIK1 to overcome SIK1-mediated repression of STAT3, indicating that STAT3 is a potential therapeutic target in breast cancer with hyperactive AKT signaling.

CBFB-regulated mitochondrial translation is a regulatory step in breast cancer metabolism and synergizes with mutant PI3K in breast cancer progression.

Tumor Biology and Immunology

Tracking single extravasating cancer cells using multimodal correlative microscopy uncovers a brain seeding mechanism involving endothelial remodeling driven by cancer cell–derived MMP9, which might enable development of approaches to prevent brain metastasis.

Intratumoral injection of microbial bioparticles stimulates neutrophil antitumor functions, suggesting pathways for optimizing efficacy of microbial therapies and paving the way for their broader utilization in the clinic.

Translational Science

Spatial transcriptomics uncovers heterogeneity between patients, between matched lesions in the same patient, and within individual lesions and identifies drivers of metastatic progression in colorectal cancer with reactive and suppressed immune microenvironments.

The chr.8q24.3 amplicon resident gene TONSL is upregulated during the initial steps of tumorigenesis to support neoplastic transformation by increasing DNA repair and represents a potential therapeutic target for treating breast cancer.

Convergence and Technologies

The computational method TraRe built on Bayesian machine learning models for investigating transcriptional network structures shows that disruption of ELK3, MXD1, and MYB signaling cascades impacts abiraterone resistance in prostate cancer.
