Cancer dependency maps have accelerated the discovery of tumor vulnerabilities that can be exploited as drug targets when translatable to patients. The Genome Atlas (TCGA) is a compendium 'maps' detailing genetic, epigenetic and molecular changes occur during pathogenesis cancer, yet it lacks map translate gene essentiality in patient tumors. Here, we used machine learning build translational for tumors, which identified predict responses disease outcomes. A similar approach was tolerability healthy tissues prioritize with best therapeutic windows. subset patient-translatable synthetic lethalities were experimentally tested, including PAPSS1/PAPSS12 CNOT7/CNOT78, validated vitro vivo. Notably, PAPSS1 lethality driven by collateral deletion PAPSS2 PTEN correlated survival. Finally, provided web-based application exploring vulnerabilities.

Globally, bladder cancer is the tenth most common cancer. Mitophagy, a critical process regulating mitochondrial quantity and quality, has attracted increasing attention for its pivotal function in Nonetheless, roles underlying mechanisms are yet to be elucidated. Therefore, this study, 16 mitophagy-related genes were screened construct robust prognostic model with exceptional predictive accuracy outcomes of patients Of these genes, DARS2 was identified as key regulator that significantly affected progression. The findings established promoted G1-to-S phase transition by upregulating CDK4 expression, thereby suppressing cellular senescence driving cell proliferation. In addition, augmented PINK1 leading increased PINK1-mediated mitophagy. Both vitro vivo experiments confirmed inhibited facilitated tumor progression enhancing observations from study have provided novel insights into multifaceted DARS2-mediated mitophagy Targeting regulation promising therapeutic strategy improve

Metabolic reprogramming is one of the major biological features malignant tumors, playing a crucial role in initiation and progression cancer. The tumor microenvironment consists various non-cancer cells, such as hepatic stellate cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), immune well extracellular matrix soluble substances. In liver cancer, metabolic not only affects its own growth survival but also interacts with other cells by influencing expression release metabolites cytokines (such lactate, PGE2, arginine). This interaction leads to acidification restricts uptake nutrients resulting competition symbiosis. At same time, neighboring during proliferation differentiation processes impacts immunity. article provides comprehensive overview crosstalk between cancer their microenvironment, deepening our understanding relevant findings pathways. contributes further regulation development evasion mechanisms while providing assistance advancing personalized therapies targeting pathways for anti-cancer treatment.

Abstract Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection playsa significant role in the etiology and progression of liver‐relatedpathologies, encompassing chronic hepatitis, fibrosis, cirrhosis, eventual hepatocellularcarcinoma (HCC). Notably, HBV stands as primary etiologicalfactor driving development HCC. Given contribution ofHBV to liver diseases, a comprehensive understanding immunedynamics microenvironment, spanning infection,fibrosis, HCC, is essential. In this review, we focused on thefunctional alterations CD8 + T cells within pathogenic livermicroenvironment from We thoroughly reviewed roles ofhypoxia, acidic pH, metabolic reprogramming, amino acid deficiency, inhibitory checkpointmolecules, immunosuppressive cytokines, gut‐liver communication shapingthe dysfunction microenvironment.

The crosstalk between metabolism and epigenetics is an emerging field that gaining importance in different areas such as cancer aging, where changes significantly impacts the cellular epigenome, turn dictating chromatin adaptive mechanism to bring back metabolic homeostasis. A key pathway influencing organism's epigenetic state one-carbon (OCM), which includes folate methionine cycles. Together, these cycles generate S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), universal methyl donor essential for DNA histone methylation. SAM serves sole group methyltransferases, making it a crucial metabolite modifications. In this review, we will discuss how its byproduct, S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH), along with enzymes cofactors involved OCM, may function compartments, particularly nucleus, directly regulate epigenome aging cancer.

Abstract Proteins have emerged as promising therapeutics in oncology due to their great specificity. Many treatment strategies are developed based on protein biologics, such immunotherapy, starvation therapy, and pro‐apoptosis while some biologics entered the clinics. However, clinical translation is severely impeded by instability, short circulation time, poor transmembrane transportation, immunogenicity. Micro‐ nano‐particles‐based drug delivery platforms designed solve those problems enhance therapeutic efficacy. This review first summarizes different types of proteins research stages, highlighting administration limitations. Next, various micro‐ nano‐particles described demonstrate how they can overcome The potential then explored efficacy combinational therapies. Finally, challenges future directions carriers discussed for optimized delivery.
