Targeting SRSF10 Might Inhibit M2 Macrophage Polarization and Potentiate Anti-PD-1 Therapy in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

The Role of SRSF10 in Immunotherapy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Academic Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) ranks sixth in global cancer incidence and third in mortality. Although surgical resection is the primary treatment for HCC, the high postoperative recurrence rate significantly impacts patient prognosis. In recent years, immunotherap...

Tryptophan 2,3-Dioxygenase-Positive Matrix Fibroblasts Fuel Breast Cancer Lung Metastasis via Kynurenine-Mediated Ferroptosis Resistance of Metastatic Cells and T Cell Dysfunction

Mechanism of Stromal Fibroblasts in Breast Cancer Lung Metastasis Background Introduction Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women worldwide, and metastasis is the leading cause of death in breast cancer patients. The lung is one of the most common sites of breast cancer metastasis, yet the mechanisms underlying this process rema...

Local TSH/TSHR Signaling Promotes CD8+ T Cell Exhaustion and Immune Evasion in Colorectal Carcinoma

TSH/TSHR Signaling Promotes CD8+ T Cell Exhaustion and Immune Evasion in Colorectal Cancer Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide with high morbidity and mortality rates. Although immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy has shown significant efficacy in some patients, the majority of CRC patients, parti...

Microglia and Macrophages in Glioblastoma: Landscapes and Treatment Directions

Microglia and Macrophages in Glioblastoma Academic Background Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary malignant tumor of the central nervous system, characterized by high invasiveness and lethality. Despite standard treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, the survival rate of patients remains extremely limited, with a medi...

Signal Integrator Function of CXXC5 in Cancer

Signal Integrator Function of CXXC5 in Cancer Academic Background CXXC5 (CXXC-type zinc finger protein 5) is a member of the ZF-CXXC protein family and plays a pivotal role in signal integration and information transfer within the cellular signaling network. By regulating multiple signaling pathways (such as Wnt/β-catenin, TGF-β/BMP, ATM/p53, etc.)...

Integrative Analysis of Ewing’s Sarcoma Reveals the MIF-CD74 Axis as a Target for Immunotherapy

Discovery of a New Immunotherapy Target for Ewing Sarcoma Background Introduction Ewing sarcoma (Ewing’s sarcoma, EWS) is a common pediatric bone cancer, accounting for approximately 2% of childhood cancers. Despite significant advances in immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and CAR-T cell therapy in various cancers, their efficacy in Ewing sarcoma...

Targeting the ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK Pathways Attenuates Golgin-97 Depletion-Induced Cancer Progression in Breast Cancer

Targeting ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK Pathways Attenuates Golgin-97 Depletion-Induced Breast Cancer Progression Research Background Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women worldwide, with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) having a particularly high metastasis rate and poor prognosis. TNBC lacks expression of estrogen receptor, proges...

Histone Demethylases in Autophagy and Inflammation

The Role of Histone Demethylases in Autophagy and Inflammation Background Introduction Autophagy is an essential lysosomal degradation process in eukaryotic cells, playing a critical role in cellular component renewal and homeostasis maintenance. Dysregulation of autophagy is associated with various diseases, including cancer, inflammatory diseases...

N88S Seipin-related Seipinopathy: A Lipidopathy Associated with Loss of Iron Homeostasis

N88S Seipin-related Seipinopathy is a Lipidopathy Associated with Loss of Iron Homeostasis Academic Background Seipin is a protein encoded by the human BSCL2 gene and the yeast SEI1 gene, forming an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-bound homo-oligomer. This oligomer plays a crucial role in targeting ER-lipid droplet (LD) contact sites, facilitating the d...

PRDX5 and PRDX6 Translocation and Oligomerization in Bull Sperm: A Response to Cryopreservation-Induced Oxidative Stress

PRDX5 and PRDX6 in Oxidative Stress Response During Cryopreservation of Bull Sperm Academic Background Cryopreservation is a critical step in animal breeding and assisted reproductive technologies, particularly in the preservation of bull sperm. However, oxidative stress generated during cryopreservation significantly reduces sperm quality, leading...
