    A review on pathobiology of circulating tumour plasma cells: The sine qua non of poor prognosis in plasma cell neoplasms

    PRATIBHA SUKU1, AISHWARYA DASH1, ARAVIND RADHAKRISHNAN1, PANKAJ MALHOTRA2, MAN UPDESH SINGH SACHDEVA1,*

    Oncology Research, Vol.33, No.5, pp. 1055-1068, 2025, DOI:10.32604/or.2024.055154 - 18 April 2025

    Abstract Circulating plasma cells (CPCs) in patients of plasma cell neoplasm have been an area of intense research in recent decades. Circulating tumor plasma cells (CTPCs) might represent a sub-clone of tumor cells that have exited into peripheral blood as a result of the dynamic interactions between the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment and neoplastic plasma cells. Chemokine receptors like chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) and integrins are known to play a role in homing and migration of plasma cells (PCs). The hypoxic microenvironment in the BM niche also contributes to their circulation through various mechanisms. In addition,… More >

    JIA CHEN1,2, FEI JIANG1, KAIYI NIU3, HAODONG ZHAO2, LI LI1,*, HONGZHU YU1,*

    Oncology Research, Vol.33, No.5, pp. 1199-1215, 2025, DOI:10.32604/or.2024.054366 - 18 April 2025

    Abstract Backgrounds: As cancer progresses through various stages of malignancy, metastasis, and drug resistance, the Wnt/-catenin signaling is frequently dysregulated. Despite advancements in medical technology and therapeutic strategies, the prognosis for numerous gastric cancer patients remains unfavorable. Methods: For the analysis of prognostic signature genes associated with Wnt signaling in GC, we used LASSO (least absolute shrinkage and selection operator) regression. To explore the function, cell specificity, and transcriptional regulation of the signature gene Carboxypeptidase Z (CPZ), we conducted co-expression analysis, single-cell RNA sequencing data analysis, transcription factor prediction, and dual luciferase reporter assay. The knockdown… More >

    COPB2 promotes hepatocellular carcinoma progression through regulation of YAP1 nuclear translocation

    BIAO WU1,#, XIANLIN GUO2,#, ZHISHI WU1, LIANG CHEN1,*, SUQING ZHANG3,*

    Oncology Research, Vol.33, No.4, pp. 975-988, 2025, DOI:10.32604/or.2025.058085 - 19 March 2025

    Abstract Objectives: Although Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) is an important oncogene in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression, its nuclear localization prevents it from being considered a potential therapeutic target. Recently, studies have reported that coatomer protein complex subunit beta 2 (COPB2) also plays a critical role in HCC development; however its mechanism of action is unclear. This study aimed to investigate the role of COPB2 and YAP1 in the progression of HCC and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms. Methods: COPB2 and YAP1 expression in HCC tissues were first analyzed by database searches and immunohistochemistry. Nomogram and artificial… More >

    Oncology Research, Vol.33, No.3, pp. 631-640, 2025, DOI:10.32604/or.2024.054642 - 28 February 2025

    Abstract Background: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) significantly enhances clinical outcomes in patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC); however, chemoresistance frequently results in treatment failure. Consequently, understanding the mechanisms underlying resistance and accurately predicting this phenomenon are crucial for improving treatment efficacy. Methods: Ultrasound images from 62 patients, taken before and after neoadjuvant therapy, were collected. Mitochondrial-related genes were extracted from a public database. Ultrasound features associated with NAC resistance were identified and correlated with significant mitochondrial-related genes. Subsequently, a prognostic model was developed and evaluated using the GSE58812 dataset. We also assessed this model alongside clinical factors… More >

    Comprehensive analysis reveals PLK3 as a promising immune target and prognostic indicator in glioma

    Abstract Background: PLK3, which played an important role in cell cycle progression and stress response, was identified as highly expressed in various carcinomas. However, the functions, molecular characteristics, and prognostic value of PLK3 in glioma remained unexplored. Methods: We analyzed PLK3 expression in glioma samples from multiple databases. Both overexpression and knockdown of Plk3 were performed to investigate tumor cell growth in glioma, and the transplanted glioma mouse model demonstrated the role of Plk3 on tumor progression. Immunohistochemistry was conducted to detect PLK3 expression and immune cell infiltration. The trans-well assay for PLK3 on the immune… More >

    Oncology Research, Vol.33, No.1, pp. 45-55, 2025, DOI:10.32604/or.2024.050161 - 20 December 2024

    Abstract Background: Platinum chemotherapy (CT) remains the backbone of systemic therapy for patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). The nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway plays a central role in the repair of the DNA damage exerted by platinum agents. Alteration in this repair mechanism may affect patients’ survival. Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of data from 38 patients with extensive disease (ED)-SCLC who underwent platinum-CT at the Clinical Oncology Unit, Careggi University Hospital, Florence (Italy), from 2015 to 2020. mRNA expression analysis and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) characterization of three NER pathway genes—namely ERCC1, ERCC2,… More >

    Abstract Objective: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is commonly recognized as the most fatal lung cancer type. Despite substantial advances in immune checkpoint blockade therapies for treating solid cancers, their benefits are limited to a minority of patients with SCLC. In the present study, novel indicators for predicting the outcomes and molecular targets for SCLC treatment were elucidated. Methods: We conducted bioinformatics analysis to identify the key genes associated with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in SCLC. The functional role of the key gene identified in SCLC was determined both in vitro and in vivo. Results: A significant correlation was observed between… More >

    Oncology Research, Vol.32, No.12, pp. 1851-1866, 2024, DOI:10.32604/or.2024.055286 - 13 November 2024

    Abstract Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has a rich and complex tumor immune microenvironment (TIME). M2 macrophages are among the most extensively infiltrated immune cells in the TIME and are necessary for the growth and migration of cancers. However, the mechanisms and targets mediating M2 macrophage infiltration in pancreatic cancer remain elusive. Methods: The M2 macrophage infiltration score of patients was assessed using the xCell algorithm. Using weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), module genes associated with M2 macrophages were identified, and a predictive model was designed. The variations in immunological cell patterns, cancer mutations, and… More > Graphic Abstract

    CHUAN JIANG1,2, CHUNLEI LIU1,3, XI YAO1,3, JINGYA SU1,2, WEI LU1,3, ZHENGBO WEI3,*, YING XIE1,2,*

    Oncology Research, Vol.32, No.12, pp. 1935-1948, 2024, DOI:10.32604/or.2024.052244 - 13 November 2024

    Abstract Background: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a prevalent form of cancer globally, with chemoresistance posing a major challenge in treatment outcomes. The efficacy of the commonly used chemotherapeutic agent, cisplatin, is diminished in patients with poor prognoses. Methods: Various bioinformatics databases were utilized to examine Carboxylesterase 1 (CES1) gene expression, clinicopathologic features, patient survival analysis, and gene function. An organoid model of HNSCC was established, along with the induction of drug-resistant HNSCC in the organoid model. CES1 expression was assessed using qRT-PCR and Western Blot, and differential markers were identified through transcriptome… More >
