Esophageal cancer (EC) is a common malignant tumor with poor prognosis, and current treatments for patients with advanced EC remain unsatisfactory. Recently, immunotherapy has been recognized as a new and promising approach for various tumors. EC cells present a high tumor mutation burden and harbor abundant tumor antigens, including tumor-associated antigens and tumor-specific antigens. The latter, also referred to as neoantigens, are immunogenic mutated peptides presented by major histocompatibility complex class I molecules. While current genomics and bioinformatics technologies have greatly facilitated the identification of tumor neoantigens, identifying individual neoantigens systematically for successful therapies remains a challenging problem. Owing to the initiation of strong, specific tumor-killing cytotoxic T cell responses, neoantigens are emerging as promising targets to develop personalized treatment and have triggered the development of cancer vaccines, adoptive T cell therapies, and combination therapies. This review aims to give a current understanding of the clinical application of neoantigens in EC and provide direction for future investigation.
Bladder cancer is the most common urinary tract malignancy, and 90% of bladder tumors are urothelial cell carcinomas. Ferroptosis is a new form of cell death discovered in recent years, which is an iron-dependent form of cell death characterized by the lethal intracellular accumulation of lipid-based reactive oxygen species. Ferroptosis is considered to be a double-edged sword for cancer and cancer therapy.

In the current study, expression profiles of bladder cancer (BLCA) specimens were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) RNA-Seq database. Ferroptosis-related genes were downloaded from the FerrDb website. The ferroptosis-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs) which were related to overall survival (OS) were first identified. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and multivariate Cox regression methods were utilized to develop a ferroptosis-related prognostic model (FRPM). In addition, a nomogram model based on FRPM and clinicopathological features was successfully coas developed for the purpose of providing further insight into the accurate predictions of BLCA prognoses.Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are nanomaterials with broad applications that are produced on a large scale. Animal experiments have shown that exposure to CNTs, especially one type of multi-walled carbon nanotube, MWCNT-7, can lead to malignant transformation. CNTs have characteristics similar to asbestos (size, shape, and biopersistence) and use the same molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways as those involved in asbestos tumorigenesis. Here, a comprehensive review of the characteristics of carbon nanotubes is provided, as well as insights that may assist in the design and production of safer nanomaterials to limit the hazards of currently used CNTs.Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to play important roles in human cancers, including esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). In the current study, we identified CCAT2 as a relevant lncRNA and investigated its role in the progression of ESCC. RT-qPCR was adopted to detect CCAT2 expression in collected clinical samples, ESCC cell lines, and a normal cell line. We tested the correlation between CCAT2 expression and the prognosis of ESCC. RT-qPCR or immunoblotting was adopted to detect the expression of relevant factors in ESCC tissues or cells. Cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion were examined by colony formation assay, flow cytometry, scratch assay, and Transwell assay, respectively, while subcutaneous tumorigenesis in nude mice was adopted to examine the role of CCAT2 in tumorigenesis of ESCC cells in vivo. Bioinformatics analysis, dual luciferase reporter assay, and RIP were conducted for the target relationship profiling. Me-RIP was adopted to detect m6A modification level of TK1 in ESCC tissues or cells. Upregulated CCAT2, IGF2BP2, and TK1 expression and inhibited miR-200b expression were observed in ESCC cells and tissues. CCAT2 bound to miR-200b and reduced its expression, leading to upregulated IGF2BP2 expression. Crenolanib mouse IGF2BP2 improved TK1 mRNA stability to enhance its expression by recognizing its m6A modification. CCAT2 promoted the migration and invasion of ESCC cells in vitro, and tumorigenesis in vivo by upregulating TK1 expression, while overexpression of miR-200b reversed these effects of CCAT2. Overall, this study suggests that CCAT2 competitively binds to miR-200b to alleviate its inhibitory effects on IGF2BP2 expression, resulting in elevated TK1 expression, and an ensuing promotion of the development of ESCC.Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a malignant tumor that can metastasize easily. Hence, many patients have already developed metastasis when they are diagnosed. It is also one of the most common tumors that metastasize to the head and neck through extranodal disease. Herein, we reported a case of a 53-year-old man with cervical metastasis from bilateral RCC. Interestingly, whole exome sequencing (WES) and clonal evolution analysis revealed that bilateral renal tumor lesions and neck metastases (squamous cell carcinoma) share the same subclones and a large number of gene variants, while the pathological morphology is different (left nephrotic foci, a mixed pattern of mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma (MTSCC) with papillary adenoma; right renal foci, papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC)). This was first reported in RCCs to the best of our knowledge. This case suggests that genotype analysis can be a powerful supplementary examination for clinical histopathological diagnosis. Gene detection has great significance for the accurate diagnosis and treatment of RCC metastasis or multiple lesions.
The Mucin-family protein, MUC1, impacts on carcinogenesis and tumor invasion. We evaluated the impact of MUC1 expression on outcome in a cohort of 158 patients with resected pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDAC) in the CONKO-001 study (adjuvant gemcitabine [gem]
. observation [obs]).

The percentage of MUC1-positive tumor cells by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and the staining intensity were evaluated by two observers blinded to outcome. The numeric values of both parameters were multiplied, resulting in an immunoreactivity score (IRS) ranging from 0 to 12. The level of MUC1 expression was defined as follows IRS 0-4 (low)
IRS >4 (high). Outcomes in terms of disease-free (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were evaluated by Kaplan-Meier method, log-rank tests and Cox regressions.

In total, tumors of 158 study patients were eligible for immunohistochemistry of MUC1. High cytoplasmic MUC1 expression was associated with impaired DFS and OS in the overall study population (hazard ratio (HR) for DFS 0.49, 95% CI 0.31 to 0.78, p = .003; HR for OS 0.46, 95% CI 0.29 to 0.73, p = .001). In the study arms, prognostic effects of MUC1 were also evident in the observation group (HR for DFS 0.55; 95% CI 0.29 to 1.04, p = .062; HR for OS 0.34, 95% CI 0.17 to 0.67, p = .001) and trending in the gem group (HR for DFS 0.48, 95% CI 0.24 to 0.95, p = .041; HR for OS 0.56, 95% CI 0.28 to1.11, p = .093).

Our data suggest that MUC1 expression is a powerful prognostic marker in patients with PDAC after curatively intended resection.

Bevacizumab inhibits cancer angiogenesis, which is fundamental for either tumor development, exponential growth, or metastatic spread by supplying nutrients and oxygen. We report a new possible adverse event of bevacizumab, a Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy-Related Inflammation (CAARI), in a 72-year-old woman with metastatic cervical cancer. After six cycles every three weeks of chemotherapy (cisplatin, paclitaxel, bevacizumab) and following two maintenance bevacizumab administrations, the patient presented a worsening confusional state. The MRI scan showed bilateral asymmetric temporo-parieto-occipital hyperintensity with numerous cortical microbleeds indicative of a CAARI. After stopping bevacizumab treatment, steroid therapy was administered resulting in rapid clinical improvement. The subsequent neurt, bevacizumab administration may have further increased permeability of cerebral microvasculature likely impaired by an underlying, asymptomatic CAA. To our knowledge, this is the first case reporting on the development of probable CAARI during bevacizumab treatment, which should alert the clinicians in case of neurological symptom onset in older patients under anti-angiogenic therapy.
There is an urgent need to identify oncogenes that may be beneficial to diagnose and develop target therapy for breast cancer.

Based on the GEO database, DECenter was used to screen the differentially overexpressed genes in breast cancer samples. Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes and Cytoscape were performed to construct the PPI network to predict the hub gene. Functional and pathway enrichment were performed based on GO analysis. GEO2R, Oncomine, human tissue microarray staining, and western blot were applied to confirm the expression of NUP37. The association between NUP37 expression and prognosis in patients with breast cancer were assessed using the Kaplan-Meier plotter online tool and OncoLnc. siRNAs were used to knock down NUP37 and evaluate proliferation, migration, and stemness in breast cancer cells.

We found that 138 genes were differentially upregulated in breast cancer samples, mainly comprising components of the nucleus and involved in the cell cycle process. NUP37 was identified as a hub gene that is upregulated in breast cancer patients related to a significantly worse survival rate. Furthermore, we confirmed that the downregulation of NUP37 in breast cancer cells results in the inhibition of cell growth, migration, and stemness.

High expression of NUP37 in breast cancer patients is associated with a poorer prognosis and promotion of cell growth, migration, and stemness. The multiple bioinformatics and experimental analysis help provide a comprehensive understanding of the roles of NUP37 as a potential marker for diagnosis and prognosis and as a novel therapeutic target in breast cancer.

Understanding the characteristics of tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) is of great significance for the development of new targeted treatment strategies for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Therefore, this present article is to explore the underlying molecular mechanism of ZFN24 inhibiting the development of NSCLC.

We performed RT-PCR and Western blotting for evaluating associated RNA and protein expression. CCK8, colony forming and sphere-forming assays were used to evaluate the proliferation and stemness of NSCLC cells. NSCLC cell senescence was examined by
-galactosidase staining assay. Luciferase assay was performed to evaluate
-catenin transcriptional activity. The effect of ZNF24 on NSCLC cells
was evaluated by the xenograft tumor experiment.

Ectopic expression of ZNF24 significantly inhibited cell viability, colony forming ability, and stemness of NSCLC cells. WNT signaling pathway was inhibited by ZNF24 resulting in NSCLC cell senescence.
-catenin transcriptional activity was significantly inhibited by ZNF24 (P < 0.
