The mevalonate pathway plays a crucial role in the metabolic reprogramming of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), driving lipid biosynthesis, redox homeostasis, and oncogenic signaling, thereby sustaining tumor progression and therapeutic resistance. Its integration with Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS)-driven signaling networks establishes it as a cornerstone of PDAC biology and a promising therapeutic target. The products of the pathway (sterols and isoprenoids) support key processes such as membrane biogenesis, protein prenylation, and immune evasion, facilitating tumor adaptation to the harsh microenvironment. Despite extensive research, therapeutic resistance and metabolic plasticity present considerable challenges in targeting this pathway. This review synthesizes current knowledge regarding the biochemical regulation of the mevalonate pathway in PDAC, its crosstalk with key oncogenic signaling networks, and emerging therapeutic strategies. In addition, we highlight critical knowledge gaps, including the complex regulatory crosstalk of the pathway with oncogenes, tumor suppressors, and nutrient-sensing pathways, and the mechanisms by which metabolic rewiring modulates tumor–immune interactions and therapy resistance. By integrating insights from pre-clinical and clinical studies, we highlighted promising novel combination therapies, including statins, bisphosphonates, and sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP) inhibitors, as well as the potential for precision medicine approaches targeting mevalonate pathway vulnerabilities. Addressing these challenges may provide new avenues for improving therapeutic outcomes in PDAC.
甲羟丙酸途径在胰腺导管腺癌(pancreatic ductal adencarcinoma, PDAC)的代谢重编程、驱动脂质生物合成、氧化还原稳态和致癌信号传导中起着至关重要的作用,从而维持肿瘤进展和治疗耐药性。它与Kirsten大鼠肉瘤病毒癌基因同源(KRAS)驱动的信号网络的整合使其成为PDAC生物学的基石和一个有前景的治疗靶点。该途径的产物(固醇和类异戊二烯)支持关键过程,如膜生物发生、蛋白质戊酰化和免疫逃避,促进肿瘤适应恶劣的微环境。尽管有广泛的研究,但治疗耐药性和代谢可塑性对靶向这一途径提出了相当大的挑战。本文综述了PDAC中甲羟戊酸途径的生化调控、其与关键致癌信号网络的串扰以及新兴的治疗策略。此外,我们强调了关键的知识空白,包括与癌基因、肿瘤抑制因子和营养感应途径的复杂调控串扰,以及代谢重布线调节肿瘤免疫相互作用和治疗耐药性的机制。通过整合临床前和临床研究的见解,我们强调了有前景的新型联合疗法,包括他汀类药物、双膦酸盐和甾醇调节元件结合蛋白(SREBP)抑制剂,以及针对甲羟戊酸途径脆弱性的精准医学方法的潜力。解决这些挑战可能为改善PDAC的治疗结果提供新的途径。

Background

Fusion genes play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This study investigated the utility of targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) of RNA for detecting rare and unknown fusion genes in patients with AML.

Methods

A total of 85 adult AML samples previously identified as fusion gene-negative by multiplex nested reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were subjected to NGS analysis.

Results

Fusion genes were detected in 21 of 72 (29.2%) patients. Among the 26 primary refractory patients, 11 (42.3%) exhibited fusion genes, whereas among the 18 relapsed patients, fusion genes were identified in five (27.8%). Notably, KMT2A and NUP98 rearrangements were enriched in refractory/relapsed patients. Additionally, recurrent fusion transcripts involving EIF4A1 were observed. The identification of additional fusion genes resulted in an approximate 20.8% (11/53) reclassification of medium-risk karyotypes to the high-risk category, thereby enhancing diagnostic accuracy.

Conclusions

Targeted NGS may complement conventional methods for identifying novel fusions in refractory/relapsed AML; however, its prognostic utility requires verification in controlled trials.
融合基因在急性髓性白血病(AML)的发病机制中起着至关重要的作用。本研究探讨了靶向下一代RNA测序(NGS)在AML患者中检测罕见和未知融合基因的应用。方法对85例经多重巢式逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)鉴定为融合基因阴性的成人AML样本进行NGS分析。结果72例患者中检出融合基因21例(29.2%)。在26例原发性难治性患者中,11例(42.3%)表现出融合基因,而在18例复发患者中,5例(27.8%)表现出融合基因。值得注意的是,KMT2A和NUP98重排在难治性/复发患者中富集。此外,还观察到涉及EIF4A1的复发性融合转录本。额外融合基因的鉴定导致约20.8%(11/53)的中危核型重新分类到高危类别,从而提高了诊断的准确性。结论靶向NGS可作为鉴定难治性/复发性AML新融合物的传统方法的补充;然而,其预后效用需要在对照试验中验证。

Background

Resting tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are stimulated by the tumor microenvironment and can be primarily polarized into two subtypes: M1-and M2-like. M1-like TAMs promote inflammation and eradicate tumor cells, whereas M2-like TAMs suppress inflammation and facilitate tumor development. However, the mechanisms underlying phenotypic switching in these macrophages remain unclear. Therefore, we aimed to characterize the gene expression profiles of M1-like and M2-like TAMs in pan cancers.

Methods

Three computational methods were used to estimate the infiltration score of TAMs in 9239 tumor samples across 31 solid cancer types, based on RNA sequencing databases. Tumor samples were divided into high- and low-score groups based on the median M1/M2 ratio. Furthermore, gene enrichment, protein interactions, and transcription factors were analyzed. Multiple pharmaco–omics profiles were used to identify potential drugs. Finally, binding between the compounds and drug targets was validated using molecular docking.

Results

Of the top 100 dysregulated genes in each cancer type, 70 and 82 genes with upregulated and downregulated expression, respectively, were consistently differentially expressed. We identified candidate drugs targeting protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), a core protein. These included efaproxiral, hesperidin, ezetimibe, calcitriol, and linopirdine.

Conclusions

This study provides a pan-cancer characterization of the TAM polarization-related gene profile. Network pharmacology and molecular docking analyses revealed five promising therapeutic agents for TAM reprogramming. Thus, our findings provide valuable insights into the enhancement of immune responses to inhibit tumor immune escape and metastasis.
背景:肿瘤相关巨噬细胞(tam)受到肿瘤微环境的刺激,可分化为两种亚型:m1和m2样。m1样tam促进炎症并根除肿瘤细胞,而m2样tam抑制炎症并促进肿瘤发展。然而,这些巨噬细胞表型转换的机制尚不清楚。因此,我们旨在表征泛癌中m1样和m2样tam的基因表达谱。方法基于RNA测序数据库,采用3种计算方法对31种实体癌9239例肿瘤样本的tam浸润评分进行估算。根据中位M1/M2比值将肿瘤样本分为高分组和低分组。此外,还分析了基因富集、蛋白质相互作用和转录因子。多种药物组学资料被用来鉴定潜在的药物。最后,利用分子对接验证化合物与药物靶点之间的结合。结果在各肿瘤类型的前100个异常表达基因中,分别有70个和82个表达上调和下调的基因持续差异表达。我们确定了靶向蛋白磷酸酶2A (PP2A)的候选药物,这是一种核心蛋白。这些药物包括依法普罗韦、橙皮苷、依泽替米贝、骨化三醇和利诺匹定。结论本研究提供了TAM极化相关基因谱的泛癌特征。网络药理学和分子对接分析揭示了5种有前景的TAM重编程治疗药物。因此,我们的研究结果为增强免疫反应以抑制肿瘤免疫逃逸和转移提供了有价值的见解。

Background

Gastric cancer (GC) is a common malignancy characterized by the absence of reliable prognostic indicators and effective therapeutic targets. Claudin-9 (CLDN9) has been demonstrated to be upregulated in various cancers. However, its prognostic value, biological function, and regulatory mechanisms in GC remain unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to elucidate the role of CLDN9 in GC progression and its underlying mechanisms.

Methods

We utilized consensus cluster, random survival forest, and multivariate Cox regression analyses to identify CLDN9 in GC. Subsequently, we evaluated the mRNA and protein levels of CLDN9 in GC using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (qRT-PCR), Western blotting (WB), and immunohistochemistry (IHC). Furthermore, the role of CLDN9 in GC progression was investigated using a series of functional in vivo and in vitro experiments. Finally, we elucidated the molecular mechanisms of CLDN9 using bioinformatics, molecular biology, animal models, and patient tissue specimens.

Results

Two GC subtypes with survival and functional differences were identified based on glycolytic metabolic genes in the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)- Stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) dataset. A prognostic risk score was calculated using seven genes to assess the overall survival (OS) in GC. Using random survival forest and multivariate Cox analyses, we identified CLDN9 as the key gene linked to the glycolytic subtype and prognosis of GC. CLDN9 expression was significantly upregulated in patients with GC as well as in GC cells. CLDN9 knockdown inhibited tumor proliferation, invasion, and metastasis both in vivo and in vitro. Mechanistically, CLDN9 was found to regulate lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) expression and promote glycolytic metabolism by activating the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT)/hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF1α) signaling pathway. Additionally, lactate, a glycolytic metabolite, enhanced programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) lactylation and stability, which suppressed anti-tumor immunity in CD8+ T cells, thereby contributing to GC progression.

Conclusions

CLDN9 expression is associated with GC development and progression. Mechanistically, CLDN9 enhances the glycolysis pathway and facilitates PD-L1 lactylation through the PI3K/AKT/HIF1α signaling pathway, thereby suppressing anti-tumor immunity in CD8+ T cells. CLDN9 has the potential to serve as a novel prognostic marker and therapeutic target for GC.
胃癌是一种常见的恶性肿瘤,其特点是缺乏可靠的预后指标和有效的治疗靶点。Claudin-9 (CLDN9)已被证实在多种癌症中上调。然而,其在胃癌中的预后价值、生物学功能和调节机制尚不清楚。因此,本研究旨在阐明CLDN9在GC进展中的作用及其潜在机制。方法采用一致聚类分析、随机生存森林分析和多变量Cox回归分析对GC中的CLDN9进行鉴定。随后,我们使用定量实时聚合酶链反应(PCR) (qRT-PCR)、Western blotting (WB)和免疫组织化学(IHC)评估GC中CLDN9的mRNA和蛋白水平。此外,通过一系列体内和体外功能实验研究了CLDN9在GC进展中的作用。最后,我们利用生物信息学、分子生物学、动物模型和患者组织标本阐明了CLDN9的分子机制。结果基于癌症基因组图谱(TCGA)-胃腺癌(STAD)数据集中的糖酵解代谢基因,鉴定出两种存在生存和功能差异的GC亚型。采用7个基因计算预后风险评分,评估GC患者的总生存期(OS)。通过随机生存森林和多变量Cox分析,我们发现CLDN9是与GC糖酵解亚型和预后相关的关键基因。CLDN9在胃癌患者和胃癌细胞中的表达均显著上调。CLDN9敲低抑制肿瘤在体内和体外的增殖、侵袭和转移。在机制上,CLDN9通过激活磷脂酰肌醇3-激酶(PI3K)/蛋白激酶B (AKT)/缺氧诱导因子1- α (HIF1α)信号通路调节乳酸脱氢酶A (LDHA)表达,促进糖酵解代谢。此外,乳酸,一种糖酵解代谢物,增强程序性细胞死亡配体1 (PD-L1)的乳酸化和稳定性,从而抑制CD8+ T细胞的抗肿瘤免疫,从而促进GC的进展。结论scldn9的表达与胃癌的发生发展有关。在机制上,CLDN9通过PI3K/AKT/HIF1α信号通路增强糖酵解途径,促进PD-L1的乳酸化,从而抑制CD8+ T细胞的抗肿瘤免疫。CLDN9有潜力作为胃癌的一种新的预后标记物和治疗靶点。
