The early diagnostic methods for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are limited, lacking effective biomarkers, and the late stage surgery is difficult and has a high recurrence rate. We investigated whether the effects of FBXO45 in arcinogenesis and metastasis of NSCLC. The up-regulation of FBXO45 expression in NSCLC patients or cell lines were observed. FBXO45 gene promoted metastasis and Warburg effect, and reduced ferroptosis of NSCLC. FBXO45 induced ZEB1 expression to promote Warburg effect and reduced ferroptosis of NSCLC. Sh-FBXO45 reduced cancer growth of NSCLC in mice model. FBXO45 decreased the ubiquitination of ZEB1, leading to increased expression of ZEB1, which in turn promoted the Warburg effect and reduced ferroptosis in NSCLC. In vivo imaging, Sh-FBXO45 also reduced ZEB1 expression levels of lung tissue in mice model. FBXO45 in NSCLC through activating the Warburg effect, and the inhibition of ferroptosis of NSCLC by the suppression of ZEB1 ubiquitin, FBXO45 may be a potential therapeutic strategy for NSCLC.

Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the major subtype of lung cancer, with a series of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs), and proteins involved in its pathogenesis. This study sought to investigate the functionality of lncRNA EPB41L4A antisense RNA 1 (lncRNA EPB41L4A-AS1) in the proliferation of NSCLC cells and provide a novel theoretical reference for NSCLC treatment. Levels of lncRNA EPB41L4A-AS1, miR-105-5p, and GTPase, IMAP family member 6 (GIMAP6) in tissues and cells were measured by RT-qPCR and the correlation between lncRNA EPB41L4A-AS1 and clinicopathological characteristics was analyzed. Cell proliferation was evaluated by cell counting kit-8 and colony formation assays. The subcellular localization of lncRNA EPB41L4A-AS1 was analyzed by the subcellular fractionation assay and the binding of miR-105-5p to lncRNA EPB41L4A-AS1 or GIMAP6 was analyzed by dual-luciferase and RNA pull-down assays. Functional rescue experiments were performed to analyze the role of miR-105-5p/GIMAP6 in NSCLC cell proliferation. lncRNA EPB41L4A-AS1 and GIMAP6 were downregulated while miR-105-5p was upregulated in NSCLC tissues and cells. lncRNA EPB41L4A-AS1 was correlated with tumor size and clinical staging and its overexpression reduced NSCLC cell proliferation. lncRNA EPB41L4A-AS1 was negatively correlated with miR-105-5p and positively correlated with GIMAP6 in NSCLC tissues, and lncRNA EPB41L4A-AS1 sponged miR-105-5p to promote GIMAP6 transcription in NSCLC cells. Overexpression of miR-105-5p or knockdown of GIMAP6 reversed the inhibition of lncRNA EPB41L4A-AS1 overexpression on NSCLC cell proliferation. lncRNA EPB41L4A-AS1 was downregulated in NSCLC and mitigated NSCLC cell proliferation through the miR-105-5p/GI-MAP6 axis.
The utilisation of neoadjuvant immunotherapy has demonstrated promising preliminary clinical outcomes for early-stage resectable non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Nevertheless, it is imperative to develop novel neoadjuvant combination therapy regimens incorporating immunotherapy to further enhance the proportion of patients who derive benefit. Recent studies have revealed that stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) not only induces direct tumour cell death but also stimulates local and systemic antitumour immune responses. Numerous clinical trials have incorporated SBRT into immunotherapy for advanced NSCLC, revealing that this combination therapy effectively inhibits local tumour growth while simultaneously activating systemic antitumour immune responses. Consequently, the integration of SBRT with neoadjuvant immunotherapy has emerged as a promising strategy for treating resectable NSCLC, as it can enhance the systemic immune response to eradicate micrometastases and recurrent foci post-resection. This review aims to elucidate the potential mechanism of combination of SBRT and immunotherapy followed by surgery and identify optimal clinical treatment strategies. Initially, we delineate the interplay between SBRT and the local tumour immune microenvironment, as well as the systemic antitumour immune response. We subsequently introduce the preclinical foundation and preliminary clinical trials of neoadjuvant SBRT combined with immunotherapy for treating resectable NSCLC. Finally, we discussed the optimal dosage, schedule, and biomarkers for neoadjuvant combination therapy in its clinical application. In conclusion, the elucidation of potential mechanism of neoadjuvant SBRT combined immunotherapy not only offers a theoretical basis for ongoing clinical trials but also contributes to determining the most efficacious therapy scheme for future clinical application.

Hypoxia is a critical feature of solid tumors and is considered to be a key factor in promoting tumorigenesis and progression. Beyond inducing metabolic reprogramming of tumor cells to adapt to the hypoxia tumor microenvironment (TME), hypoxia can also promote tumor growth by affecting the secretion of exosomes. Exosomes are nano-sized (30-150 nm in diameter) extracellular vesicles that can carry numerous substances including lipids, proteins, nucleic acids, and metabolites. Notably, hypoxia-induced exosomes alterations not only exist in tumor cells, but also in various TME cells including stromal cells and immune cells. Besides promoting tumor invasion, angiogenesis, and drug resistance, the secretion of these altered exosomes has recently been found to negatively regulate anti-tumor immune responses. In this review, we focus on the hypoxia-induced changes in exosome secretion and found it can contributes to immune evasion and cancer progression by recruiting protumor immune cells into TME, as well as inhibiting antitumor immune cells. Next, we also describe the recent advances of exosomes in immunotherapy and future direction. In conclusion, ongoing discoveries in this field have brought new insights into hypoxia exosome-led immunosuppression, enabling the development of exosome-based therapeutics and elucidating their potential in immunotherapy.

Background: Tripartite motif containing 14 (TRIM14) has been reported to play a critical role in tumor development. However, little is known about TRIM14 expression and its clinical significance in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The aim of the present study was to investigate the expression and prognostic value of TRIM14 in patients with HCC. Materials and Methods: The mRNA and protein levels of TRIM14 in HCC were evaluated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, Western blot analysis, and immunohistochemistry. The association of TRIM14 expression with clinicopathological factors, overall survival (OS), and recurrence-free survival (RFS) was analyzed. Results: TRIM14 expression was significantly upregulated in HCC-related tissues. High TRIM14 expression correlated with C-reactive protein (p = 0.01), alanine aminotransferase (p = 0.02), tumor size (p = 0.005), lesion number (p = 0.023), vascular invasion (p = 0.041), tumor/node/metastasis (TNM) stage (p = 0.001), and Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage (p = 0.003). In addition, high TRIM14 expression was associated with poor OS and RFS (both p < 0.001). Cox regression analysis revealed that high TRIM14 expression was an independent prognostic factor for both OS (hazard ratio (HR) 1.657, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.031-2.687; p = 0.018) and RFS (HR 2.297, 95% CI 1.184-2.312; p = 0.007). Conclusion: TRIM14 is a potential prognostic predictor for OS and RFS in patients with HCC.
Cisplatin (CDDP)-based systematic chemotherapy remains the mainstay of treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). However, acquired resistance to CDDP, a multifactorial process governed by an array of signals acting at different levels, is the major problem in BC treatment. Here, we report for the first time that, expression of Paired-box gene 5 (PAX5), a B-cell essential transcription factor, was significantly induced in CDDP-resistant BC tissues and in experimentally-induced CDDP-resistant BC cells. Inhibition of PAX5 expression by shRNA treatment effectively improved CDDP sensitivity in BC cells, whereas overexpression of PAX5 potentiated CDDP resistance through supporting BC cell survival. Mechanistically, using luciferase reporter and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays, we identified prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2, also called COX2), a potent enzyme responsible for prostanoids formation and inflammatory response, as the direct down-stream target of PAX5. PAX5 exerted its oncogenic function during the pathogenesis of CDDP resistance via stimulation of PTGS2 transcription. These observations collectively suggest that dysregulation of PAX5/PTGS2 cascade plays a causal role in the induction of CDDP resistance and gene silencing approaches targeting this pathway may therefore provide a novel therapeutic strategy for overcoming CDDP resistance in BC.
Objective To investigate the expression of ILK,Cyclin D1 and MMP-9 in bladder tumor and to explore its significance in carcinogenesis and progression of bladder tumor.Methods The immunohistochemical SP method was used to detect the expression of ILK,Cyclin D1 and MMP-9 in 112 cases of bladder tumors and 35 cases of normal bladder tissues adjacent to carcinoma.Results The positive expression rates of ILK,Cyclin D1 and MMP-9 were 62.1% and i5.0%,70.7% and 20.0%,65.5% and 15.0% in bladder tumor and normal bladder tissues,respectively (P < 0.05).Meanwhile,their positive expression rates increased with the decrease of tumor differentiation degree(P < 0.05).The expression of ILK was positively correlated with the expression of Cyclin D1 and MMP-9 (P <0.05).Conclusion The ILK,Cyclin D1 and MMP-9 overexpress in bladder tumor,and are closely correlated with the pathological differentiation,which suggests that they may involve in the occurrence and metastasis of bladder tumor.They may be effective reference markers in diagnosis of clinical pathology staging,and their combined detection can help predict the clinical diagnosis and prognosis of bladder tumor.

Mechanistic insight into estrogen deficiency by polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) remains a longstanding challenge in reproductive medicine. Recent advance suggest that Wingless-type MMTV integration site family members (WNTs), in concert with its Frizzled (FZD) receptors, regulate normal folliculogenesis, luteogenesis and ovarian steroidogenesis. However, no studies have so far investigated any causality between WNT-FZDs interactions and disrupted estrogen synthesis under certain pathological conditions. Here, we show that (i) FZD3 expression was significantly up-regulated in the cumulus cells (CCs) from PCOS patients. This up-regulation, along with the activation of WNT2/β-Catenin pathway, was tightly associated with insulin resistance and estrogen deficiency, two hallmarks of PCOS. (ii) Overexpression of exogenous FZD3 in human granulosa cell COV434 impaired long-term FSH incubation-induced CYP19A1 transactivation and the recruitment of β-Catenin onto CYP19A1 promoter, and subsequently compromised FSH-stimulated estrogen production. (iii) Conversely, inhibition of FZD3 expression exhibited a therapeutic effect on estrogen synthesis in PCOS CCs. Thus, excessive FZD3 expression in CCs may act as a brake on steroidogenic activation that is normally overcome by FSH stimulation. Future endeavor in this field should help to elucidate the complicated crosstalk between energy metabolism and endocrine cells through WNT/FZD signaling molecules.
