Cancer Biology

YAP1 regulates cancer-associated fibroblast phenotypes and can be targeted to switch cancer-associated fibroblasts from a protumorigenic subtype that promotes extracellular matrix deposition to a tumor-suppressive subtype that stimulates antitumor immunity and immunotherapy efficacy.

The POGZ neurodevelopmental protein plays dual functions in triple-negative breast cancers as a tumor promoter and metastasis suppressor, inhibiting TGFβ-regulated EMT to limit breast cancer metastatic progression.

Three-dimensional invasion-linked gene expression analysis reveals a therapeutic vulnerability to inhibition of ALK2/BMP6 signaling in LKB1-mutant lung cancer that can be rapidly translated to the clinic.

Cancer Immunology

Macrophages with elevated HMOX1 expression are enriched in PTEN-deficient high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma, promote tumor growth, and represent a potential therapeutic target.

Galectin-9 serves as an immune checkpoint molecule that modulates the functional properties of microglia in the brain tumor microenvironment and could potentially be targeted to effectively treat brain tumors.

Cancer Metabolism and Molecular Mechanisms

Cholangiocarcinoma cells exhibit high glycogen phosphorylase activity under hypoxic conditions that mediates metabolic reprograming to promote glycolysis and support tumor development.

The RNA-binding protein DAZAP1 undergoes phase separation to enhance COX16 expression and mediate metabolic reprogramming that enables tumor metastasis, highlighting DAZAP1 as a potential metabolic target for cancer therapy.

Therapeutic Development and Chemical Biology

The development of a photoresponsive nanovaccine with spatiotemporal controllability enables robust tumor microenvironment modulation and enhances the efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade, providing an effective immunotherapeutic strategy for cancer treatment.

An anti-CD276 monoclonal antibody conjugated with both a cytotoxic drug and an immune boosting reagent effectively targets triple-negative breast cancer by inducing tumor cell death and stimulating immune cell infiltration.

Translational Cancer Biology

PKMYT1 upregulation and CDK1 phosphorylation in triple-negative breast cancer expressing low–molecular weight cyclin E leads to suboptimal responses to chemotherapy but sensitizes tumors to PKMYT1 inhibitors, proposing a personalized treatment strategy.

SYK and EGFR coinhibition exerts synergistic anticancer effects in chemoresistant ovarian cancer, providing a strategy to treat chemotherapy-resistant ovarian cancers using clinically available agents by targeting critical signaling pathways involved in DNA replication.

Galectin-1 is a key mediator of paclitaxel resistance in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma that can be targeted to improve taxane efficacy, suggesting broad therapeutic potential for treating various cancer types.
