Defects in DNA repair pathways play a pivotal role in tumor development and response to therapy. USP1 is a critical dependency in tumors with homologous recombination (HR) repair deficiency. The cover image illustrates a CryoEM structure of the newly developed USP1 inhibitor, KSQ-4279, binding to the USP1/UAF1 deubiquitinase complex. Treatment with KSQ-4279 is an effective strategy for inducing regression of HR-deficient tumors and over-coming PARP inhibitor resistance.

Priority Report
An Alternatively Spliced Gain-of-Function NT5C2 Isoform Contributes to Chemoresistance in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Alternative splicing is a potent mechanism of acquired drug resistance in relapsed/refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemias that has diagnostic and therapeutic implications for patients who lack mutations in known chemoresistance genes.
Cancer Biology
Natural Killer Cell Regulation of Breast Cancer Stem Cells Mediates Metastatic Dormancy
The immune system controls disseminated breast cancer cells during disease latency, highlighting the need to utilize immunocompetent models to identify strategies for targeting dormant cancer cells and reducing metastatic recurrence.
Targeting the Sodium–Potassium Pump as a Therapeutic Strategy in Acute Myeloid Leukemia
ATP1B3 is a lethal selective paralog dependency in acute myeloid leukemia that can be eliminated to destabilize the sodium–potassium pump, inducing cell death.
Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts Expressing Sulfatase 1 Facilitate VEGFA-Dependent Microenvironmental Remodeling to Support Colorectal Cancer
SULF1+ cancer-associated fibroblasts play a tumor-promoting role in colorectal cancer by stimulating extracellular matrix deposition and angiogenesis and can serve as a biomarker for the therapeutic response to HDAC inhibitors in patients.
Cancer Metabolism and Molecular Mechanisms
Targeting YAP Activity and Glutamine Metabolism Cooperatively Suppresses Tumor Progression by Preventing Extracellular Matrix Accumulation
Blocking glutamine utilization activates YAP to promote ECM deposition by fibroblasts, highlighting the potential of YAP inhibitors and antifibrotic strategies as promising approaches for effective combination metabolic therapies in cancer.
m6A-Mediated Induction of 7-Dehydrocholesterol Reductase Stimulates Cholesterol Synthesis and cAMP Signaling to Promote Bladder Cancer Metastasis
Inhibiting DHCR7 induces cholesterol metabolism reprogramming and lipid raft remodeling to inactivate the cAMP/protein kinase A/FAK axis and suppress bladder cancer metastasis, indicating the therapeutic potential of targeting DHCR7.
Therapeutic Development and Chemical Biology
The USP1 Inhibitor KSQ-4279 Overcomes PARP Inhibitor Resistance in Homologous Recombination–Deficient Tumors
KSQ-4279 is a potent and selective inhibitor of USP1 that induces regression of PARP inhibitor–resistant tumors when dosed in combination with PARP inhibitors, addressing an unmet clinical need for BRCA-mutant tumors.
Translational Cancer Biology
Single-Stranded DNA Gap Accumulation Is a Functional Biomarker for USP1 Inhibitor Sensitivity
USP1 inhibitors kill BRCA1-deficient cells and cause ssDNA gap accumulation, supporting the potential of using ssDNA gap detection as a functional biomarker for clinical trials on USP1 inhibitors.
FANCI Inhibition Induces PARP1 Redistribution to Enhance the Efficacy of PARP Inhibitors in Breast Cancer
Targeting FANCI is a promising therapeutic strategy for enhancing PARP inhibitor sensitivity in breast cancer that holds potential for broader therapeutic applications beyond cancers harboring BRCA mutations.
Computational Cancer Biology and Technology
Chromosome 7 Gain Compensates for Chromosome 10 Loss in Glioma
Increased expression of multiple rescuer genes on the gained chromosome 7 could compensate for the downregulation of several vulnerable genes on the lost chromosome 10, resolving the long-standing mystery of this frequent co-occurrence in gliomas.
Convergence Science
A Genomics-Driven Artificial Intelligence–Based Model Classifies Breast Invasive Lobular Carcinoma and Discovers CDH1 Inactivating Mechanisms
Genetic alterations linked to strong genotypic–phenotypic correlations can be utilized to develop AI systems applied to pathology that facilitate cancer diagnosis and biologic discoveries.
