Cancer Biology

Modeling lineage transitions in prostate cancer and testing dependencies of lineage transcription factors have therapeutic implications, given the emergence of treatment-resistant, aggressive forms of neuroendocrine prostate cancer.

NQO1 stabilizes and promotes the secretion of PPIA to activate CD147 in neutrophils and stimulate NET formation, promoting breast cancer lung metastasis and providing therapeutic targets for this fatal condition.

YES1 is a sentinel regulator of genomic maintenance that controls centrosome homeostasis and chromosome stability through FOXM1, revealing this pathway as a therapeutic vulnerability for enhancing taxane efficacy in triple-negative breast cancer.

Hippo–YAP1 signaling maintains stemness in gastric cancer by upregulating FOXP4, identifying FOXP4 as a stemness biomarker and therapeutic target that could help improve patient outcomes.

Cancer Immunology

H3K18 lactylation supports immunosuppression in non-small cell lung cancer by inducing POM121 to increase MYC activity and PD-L1 expression, which can be reversed by metabolic reprogramming and immunotherapy treatment.

Cancer Metabolism and Molecular Mechanisms

KHSRP is a m6A-binding protein that stabilizes expression of FAK pathway mRNAs and that can be targeted to suppress FAK signaling and curb pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma progression.

Therapeutic Development and Chemical Biology

LX1 simultaneously targets androgen receptor variants and the steroidogenic enzyme AKR1C3, offering a promising approach to combat drug resistance and enhancing therapeutic efficacy in conjunction with standard treatments for advanced prostate cancer.

Translational Cancer Biology

The combination of MRTX1133 and the FDA-approved drug venetoclax promotes cancer cell death and tumor regression in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, providing rationale for testing venetoclax with KRASG12D inhibitors in patients with pancreatic cancer.

Inhibition of catechol-O-methyltransferase, a well-established drug target in Parkinson’s disease, interferes with mitochondrial electron transport and induces mitochondrial double-stranded RNA leakage, activating type I interferon signaling and sensitizing glioma to radiotherapy.

Cancer Landscapes

Exome sequencing reveals the distinct mutational landscape of PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome–associated thyroid cancers from sporadic counterparts, providing insights into tumor progression and behavior that could help improve diagnosis, surveillance, and treatment.

Illumination of the inherent heterogeneity within HER2-positive breast cancers through the delineation of distinct molecular subtypes lays the groundwork for developing more personalized treatment strategies based on specific patient characteristics.

Computational Cancer Biology and Technology

Integrative analysis of eRNA-producing super-enhancers defines molecular mechanisms controlling global patterns of gene expression that regulate clinical outcomes in breast cancer, highlighting the potential of enhancers as biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
