Abstract Background Perineural invasion (PNI) is a hallmark feature of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), which occurs at high incidence and significantly contributes to PDAC lethality poor survival. Despite its prevalence association with prognosis, the molecular mechanisms underlying PNI in remain unclear. Methods We investigated clinical samples from two cohorts by UPLC/MS-MS profiled altered chemical RNA modifications tissues lesions. Dorsal root ganglion coculture systems sciatic nerve injection models validated ability. combined RNA-seq, acRIP-seq ac4C-seq CRISPR-based techniques explore regulatory mechanism ac4C modification on integrin beta 5 ( ITGB5 ) transcript. Result reported that N 4 -acetylcytidine (ac4C) In vitro vivo demonstrated tumor cells overexpression N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10), writer enzyme mRNA modification, enhances PDAC. Further analysis revealed decreased levels transcripts focal adhesion pathway, particular ITGB5, NAT10-knockdown cells. This CDS region promotes stability, subsequently activating ITGB5-pFAK-pSrc pathway. further confirmed crucial role NAT10-mediated regulating expression. Combining small-molecule inhibitors targeting NAT10 kinase (FAK) attenuated vivo.

Anticancer nanomedicines have been proven effective in mitigating the side effects of chemotherapeutic drugs. However, challenges remain augmenting their therapeutic efficacy. Nanomedicines responsive to pathological abnormalities tumor microenvironment (TME) are expected overcome biological limitations conventional nanomedicines, enhance efficacies, and further reduce effects. This Review aims quantitate various TME, which may serve as unique endogenous stimuli for design stimuli-responsive provide a broad objective perspective on current understanding cancer treatment. We dissect typical transport process barriers drug delivery, highlight key principles designed tackle series delivery process, discuss "all-into-one" "one-for-all" strategies integrating needed properties nanomedicines.

Abstract Glioblastoma (GBM), the predominant and primary malignant intracranial tumor, poses a formidable challenge due to its immunosuppressive microenvironment, thereby confounding conventional therapeutic interventions. Despite established treatment regimen comprising surgical intervention, radiotherapy, temozolomide administration, exploration of emerging modalities such as immunotherapy integration medicine engineering technology therapy, efficacy these approaches remains constrained, resulting in suboptimal prognostic outcomes. In recent years, intensive scrutiny inhibitory milieu within GBM has underscored significance cellular constituents microenvironment their interactions with cells neurons. Novel immune targeted therapy strategies have emerged, offering promising avenues for advancing treatment. One pivotal mechanism orchestrating immunosuppression involves aggregation myeloid-derived suppressor (MDSCs), glioma-associated macrophage/microglia (GAM), regulatory T (Tregs). Among these, MDSCs, though constituting minority (4–8%) CD45 + GBM, play central component fostering evasion propelling tumor progression, angiogenesis, invasion, metastasis. MDSCs deploy intricate mechanisms that adapt dynamic (TME). Understanding interplay between provides compelling basis This review seeks elucidate inherent explore existing targets, consolidate insights into MDSC induction contribution immunosuppression. Additionally, comprehensively surveys ongoing clinical trials potential strategies, envisioning future where targeting could reshape landscape GBM. Through synergistic other modalities, this approach can establish multidisciplinary, multi-target paradigm, ultimately improving prognosis quality life patients

Abstract Neural–tumor interactions drive glioma growth as evidenced in preclinical models, but clinical validation is limited. We present an epigenetically defined neural signature of glioblastoma that independently predicts patients’ survival. use reference signatures cells to deconvolve tumor DNA and classify samples into low- or high-neural tumors. High-neural glioblastomas exhibit hypomethylated CpG sites upregulation genes associated with synaptic integration. Single-cell transcriptomic analysis reveals a high abundance malignant stemcell-like glioblastoma, primarily the lineage. These are further classified neural-progenitor-cell-like, astrocyte-like oligodendrocyte-progenitor-like, alongside oligodendrocytes excitatory neurons. In line these findings, engender neuron-to-glioma synapse formation vitro vivo show unfavorable survival after xenografting. patients, decreased overall progression-free tumors also increased functional connectivity magnetencephalography resting-state magnet resonance imaging can be detected via analytes brain-derived neurotrophic factor plasma. The prognostic importance was validated patients diagnosed diffuse midline glioma.

The bidirectional communication between nerves and cancer cells plays a critical role initiation progression. Perineural invasion (PNI) occurs when invade nerve sheath and/or encircle more than 33% circumference. PNI is common feature various malignancies associated with invasion, metastasis, cancer-related pain, unfavorable clinical outcomes. colon rectum are highly innervated organs, accumulating studies support as histopathologic colorectal (CRC).
