#10: Cell fusion as a link between the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, COVID-19 complications, and vaccine side effects

DOI: https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.28088

Author: Yuri Lazebnik

Institution: Lerna Consulting

Quote: “A distinctive feature of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein is its ability to efficiently fuse cells, thus producing syncytia found in COVID-19 patients. This commentary proposes how this ability enables spike to cause COVID-19 complications as well as side effects of COVID-19 vaccines, and suggests how these effects can be prevented.”

#9: A Jurkat 76 based triple parameter reporter system to evaluate TCR functions and adoptive T cell strategies

DOI: https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.24807

Authors: Sandra Rosskopf, Judith Leitner, Wolfgang Paster, Laura T. Morton, Renate S. Hagedoorn, Peter Steinberger, and Mirjam H.M. Heemskerk

Institutions: Medical University of Vienna and Leiden University Medical Center

Quote: “Adoptive T cell therapy using TCR transgenic autologous T cells has shown great potential for the treatment of tumor patients. Thorough characterization of genetically reprogrammed T cells is necessary to optimize treatment success. Here, we describe the generation of triple parameter reporter T cells based on the Jurkat 76 T cell line for the evaluation of TCR and chimeric antigen receptor functions as well as adoptive T cell strategies.”

#8: IL-37 suppresses hepatocellular carcinoma growth by converting pSmad3 signaling from JNK/pSmad3L/c-Myc oncogenic signaling to pSmad3C/P21 tumor-suppressive signaling

DOI: https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.13196

Authors: Rui Liu, Chengyong Tang, Ai Shen, Huating Luo, Xufu Wei, Daofeng Zheng, Chao Sun, Zhongtang Li, Di Zhu, Tingting Li, and Zhongjun Wu

Institution: The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University

Quote: “IL-37 has been characterized as a fundamental inhibitor of innate immunity and a tumor suppressor in several cancers. However, the molecular mechanism of IL-37 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is largely unclear. In this study we found IL-37 expression was down-regulated in human HCC tissues and cell lines, and was negatively correlated with tumor size, vascular invasion, as well as overall-survial and disease-free survival (OS and DFS) of HCC.”

#7: Apatinib-based targeted therapy against pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma: a case report and literature review

DOI: https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.25989

Authors: Xiaofeng Li, Yueming He, Jinfeng Zhu, Hongxia Pang, Yongwei Lin, and Jinyang Zheng

Institution: Affiliated Quanzhou First Hospital of Fujian Medical University

Quote: “Sarcomatoid carcinoma is a rare malignancy characterized by a combination of epithelial and sarcoma or sarcoma-like components. In this study, we reported one case of pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma and evaluated the safety and efficacy of apatinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor selectively targeting vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2, in treating this disease.”

#6: Treasures from trash in cancer research

DOI: https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.28308

Authors: Fabiano Cordeiro Moreira, Dionison Pereira Sarquis, Jorge Estefano Santana de Souza, Daniel de Souza Avelar, Taíssa Maria Thomaz Araújo, André Salim Khayat, Sidney Emanuel Batista dos Santos, and Paulo Pimentel de Assumpção

Institutions: Universidade Federal do Pará and Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte

Quote: “Cancer research has significantly improved in recent years, primarily due to next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology. Consequently, an enormous amount of genomic and transcriptomic data has been generated. In most cases, the data needed for research goals are used, and unwanted reads are discarded. However, these eliminated data contain relevant information. Aiming to test this hypothesis, genomic and transcriptomic data were acquired from public datasets.”

#5: Real-world survival analysis by tumor mutational burden in non-small cell lung cancer: a multisite U.S. study

DOI: https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.28178

Authors: Connor Willis, Hillevi Bauer, Trang H. Au, Jyothi Menon, Sudhir Unni, Dao Tran, Zachary Rivers, Wallace Akerley, Matthew B.

Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute, Baptist Health Medical Group, MetroHealth Medical Center, Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey, University of Southern California, Saint Luke’s Cancer Institute, University of Kentucky, and Bristol Myers Squibb

Quote: “Tumor mutational burden (TMB) is a potential biomarker to predict tumor response to immuno-oncology agents in patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A multi-site cohort study evaluated patients diagnosed with stage IV NSCLC between 2012 and 2019 who had received comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) and any NSCLC-related treatment at 9 U.S. cancer centers. Baseline characteristics and clinical outcomes were compared between patients with TMB <10 and TMB ≥10.”

#4: Continuous treatment with abemaciclib leads to sustained and efficient inhibition of breast cancer cell proliferation

DOI: https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.28249

Authors: Raquel Torres-Guzmán, Maria Patricia Ganado, Cecilia Mur, Carlos Marugan, Carmen Baquero, Yanzhu Yang, Yi Zeng, Huimin Bian, Jian Du, Alfonso de Dios, Oscar Puig, and María José Lallena

Institution: Eli Lilly and Company

Quote: “Abemaciclib is an oral, selective cyclin-dependent kinase 4 & 6 inhibitor (CDK4 & 6i), approved for hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2–) advanced breast cancer (ABC) as monotherapy for endocrine refractory disease, and with endocrine therapy (ET) for initial treatment and after progression on ET. Abemaciclib has also shown clinical activity in combination with ET in patients with high risk early BC (EBC). Here, we examined the preclinical attributes of abemaciclib and other CDK4 & 6i using biochemical and cell-based assays. In vitro, abemaciclib preferentially inhibited CDK4 kinase activity versus CDK6, resulting in inhibition of cell proliferation in a panel of BC cell lines with higher average potency than palbociclib or ribociclib.”

#3: Increased gut permeability in cancer cachexia: mechanisms and clinical relevance

DOI: https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.24804

Authors: Laure B. Bindels, Audrey M. Neyrinck, Audrey Loumaye, Emilie Catry, Hannah Walgrave, Claire Cherbuy, Sophie Leclercq, Matthias Van Hul, Hubert Plovier, Barbara Pachikian, Luis G. Bermúdez-Humarán, Philippe Langella, Patrice D. Cani, Jean-Paul Thissen, and Nathalie M. Delzenne

Institutions: Université Catholique de Louvain and Université Paris-Saclay

Quote: “Intestinal disorders often occur in cancer patients, in association with body weight loss, and this alteration is commonly attributed to the chemotherapy. Here, using a mouse model of cancer cachexia induced by ectopic transplantation of C26 cancer cells, we discovered a profound alteration in the gut functions (gut permeability, epithelial turnover, gut immunity, microbial dysbiosis) independently of any chemotherapy.”

#2: Inflammatory responses and inflammation-associated diseases in organs

DOI: https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.23208

Authors: Linlin Chen, Huidan Deng, Hengmin Cui, Jing Fang, Zhicai Zuo, Junliang Deng, Yinglun Li, Xun Wang, and Ling Zhao

Institution: Sichuan Agricultural University

Quote: “Inflammation is a biological response of the immune system that can be triggered by a variety of factors, including pathogens, damaged cells and toxic compounds. These factors may induce acute and/or chronic inflammatory responses in the heart, pancreas, liver, kidney, lung, brain, intestinal tract and reproductive system, potentially leading to tissue damage or disease. Both infectious and non-infectious agents and cell damage activate inflammatory cells and trigger inflammatory signaling pathways, most commonly the NF-κB, MAPK, and JAK-STAT pathways. Here, we review inflammatory responses within organs, focusing on the etiology of inflammation, inflammatory response mechanisms, resolution of inflammation, and organ-specific inflammatory responses.”

#1: Proteomic profiling of skeletal and cardiac muscle in cancer cachexia: alterations in sarcomeric and mitochondrial protein expression

DOI: https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.25146

Authors: Angie M. Y. Shum, Anne Poljak, Nicholas L. Bentley, Nigel Turner, Timothy C. Tan, and Patsie Polly

Institutions: UNSW Sydney, Western Clinical School and Westmead Hospital

Quote: “Cancer cachexia is observed in more than 50% of advanced cancer patients, and impairs quality of life and prognosis. A variety of pathways are likely to be dysregulated. Hence, a broad-spectrum understanding of the disease process is best achieved by a discovery based approach such as proteomics.”
