Oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC), a subset of head and neck (HNSCC), involves the palatine tonsils, soft palate, base tongue, uvula, with ability to spread adjacent subsites. Personalized treatment strategies for Human Papillomavirus-associated oropharynx (HPV+OPSCC) are yet be established. In this article, we summarise our current understanding pathogenesis HPV+OPSCC, intrinsic role immune system, ICI clinical trials, potential small molecule immunotherapy in HPV+OPSCC.

Altered metabolism represents a fundamental difference between cancer cells and normal cells. Cancer have unique ability to reprogram their by deviating reliance from primarily oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) glycolysis, in order support survival. This metabolic phenotype is referred as the “Warburg effect” associated with an increase glucose uptake, diversion of glycolytic intermediates alternative pathways that anabolic processes. These processes include synthesis nucleic acids, lipids, proteins, necessary for rapidly dividing cells, sustaining growth, proliferation, capacity successful metastasis. Triple-negative breast (TNBC) one most aggressive subtypes cancer, poorest patient outcome due its high rate TNBC characterized elevated glycolysis certain instances, low OXPHOS. dysregulation linked chemotherapeutic resistance research models samples. There more than single mechanism which this switch occurs here, we review current knowledge relevant molecular mechanisms involved advanced metabolism, focusing on TNBC.

Research these highly promising could ultimately offer new opportunities development innovative therapies treat dysregulated metabolism.

Resveratrol, a polyphenolic compound known for its diverse biological activities, has demonstrated multiple pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, anti-diabetic, anti-cancer, and cardiovascular protective properties. Recent studies suggest that these effects are partly mediated through the regulation of macrophage polarization, wherein macrophages differentiate into pro-inflammatory M1 or anti-inflammatory M2 phenotypes. Our review highlights how resveratrol modulates polarization various signaling pathways to achieve therapeutic effects. For example, can activate senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) pathway inhibit signal transducer activator transcription (STAT3) sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P)-YAP axes, promoting suppressing thereby inhibiting tumor growth. Conversely, it promote suppress by NF-κB activating PI3K/Akt AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathways, thus alleviating inflammatory responses. Notably, effect on is concentration-dependent; moderate concentrations tend while higher may favor polarization. This concentration dependence offers new perspectives clinical treatment but also underscores necessity precise dosage control when using resveratrol. In summary, exhibits significant potential in regulating treating related diseases.

Pancreatic cancer remains a serious and deadly disease, impacting people globally. There remain prominent gaps in the current understanding of specifically regarding role signal transducer activator transcription (STAT) family proteins pancreatic tumors. STAT proteins, particularly STAT3, play important roles cancer, especially ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), which is most prevalent histotype. The STAT3 across continuum molecular processes, such as PDAC tumorigenesis progression, immune escape, drug resistance stemness, modulation tumor microenvironment (TME), are only tip iceberg. In some ways, may hold greater importance than that oncogenic Kirsten rat sarcoma virus (KRAS). This makes highly attractive target for developing targeted therapies treatment cancer. this review, knowledge has been summarized, relating to activation cells, cells TME, state targeting pre-clinical clinical trials PDAC.
