Abstract
Abstract
Purpose
Ongoing angiogenesis renders the tumor endothelium unresponsive to inflammatory cytokines and interferes with adhesion of leukocytes, resulting in escape from immunity. This process is referred to as tumor endothelial cell anergy. We aimed to investigate whether anti-angiogenic agents can overcome endothelial cell anergy and provide pro-inflammatory conditions.
Experimental design
Tissues of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients treated with VEGF pathway-targeted drugs and control tissues were subject to RNAseq and immunohistochemical profiling of the leukocyte infiltrate. Analysis of adhesion molecule regulation in cultured endothelial cells, in a preclinical model and in human tissues was performed and correlated to leukocyte infiltration.
Results
It is shown that treatment of RCC patients with the drugs sunitinib or bevacizumab overcomes tumor endothelial cell anergy. This treatment resulted in an augmented inflammatory state of the tumor, characterized by enhanced infiltration of all major leukocyte subsets, including T cells, regulatory T cells, macrophages of both M1- and M2-like phenotypes and activated dendritic cells. In vitro, exposure of angiogenic endothelial cells to anti-angiogenic drugs normalized ICAM-1 expression. In addition, a panel of tyrosine kinase inhibitors was shown to increase transendothelial migration of both non-adherent and monocytic leukocytes. In primary tumors of RCC patients, ICAM-1 expression was found to be significantly increased in both the sunitinib and bevacizumab-treated groups. Genomic analysis confirmed the correlation between increased immune cell infiltration and ICAM-1 expression upon VEGF-targeted treatment.
Conclusion
The results support the emerging concept that anti-angiogenic therapy can boost immunity and show how immunotherapy approaches can benefit from combination with anti-angiogenic compounds.

Abstract
Gastro-intestinal stromal tumors and acute myeloid leukemia induced by activating stem cell factor receptor tyrosine kinase (KIT) mutations are highly malignant. Less clear is the role of KIT mutations in the context of breast cancer. Treatment success of KIT-induced cancers is still unsatisfactory because of primary or secondary resistance to therapy. Mouse models offer essential platforms for studies on molecular disease mechanisms in basic cancer research. In the course of the Munich N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) mutagenesis program a mouse line with inherited polycythemia was established. It carries a base-pair exchange in the Kit gene leading to an amino acid exchange at position 824 in the activation loop of KIT. This KIT variant corresponds to the N822K mutation found in human cancers, which is associated with imatinib-resistance. C3H KitN824K/WT mice develop hyperplasia of interstitial cells of Cajal and retention of ingesta in the cecum. In contrast to previous Kit-mutant models, we observe a benign course of gastrointestinal pathology associated with prolonged survival. Female mutants develop mammary carcinomas at late onset and subsequent lung metastasis. The disease model complements existing oncology research platforms. It allows for addressing the role of KIT mutations in breast cancer and identifying genetic and environmental modifiers of disease progression.

Abstract
Immunotherapy has been recognized as an effective and important therapeutic modality for multiple types of cancer. Nevertheless, it has been increasing recognized that clinical benefits of immunotherapy are less than expected as evidenced by the fact that only a small population of cancer patients respond favorably to immunotherapy. The structurally and functionally abnormal tumor vasculature is a hallmark of most solid tumors and contributes to an immunosuppressive microenvironment, which poses a major challenge to immunotherapy. In turn, multiple immune cell subsets have profound consequences on promoting neovascularization. Vascular normalization, a promising anti-angiogenic strategy, can enhance vascular perfusion and promote the infiltration of immune effector cells into tumors via correcting aberrant tumor blood vessels, resulting in the potentiation of immunotherapy. More interestingly, immunotherapies are prone to boost the efficacy of various anti-angiogenic therapies and/or promote the morphological and functional alterations in tumor vasculature. Therefore, immune reprograming and vascular normalization appear to be reciprocally regulated. In this review, we mainly summarize how tumor vasculature propels an immunosuppressive phenotype and how innate and adaptive immune cells modulate angiogenesis during tumor progression. We further highlight recent advances of anti-angiogenic immunotherapies in preclinical and clinical settings to solidify the concept that targeting both tumor blood vessels and immune suppressive cells provides an efficacious approach for the treatment of cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM The Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) gene encodes a protein (pVHL) that plays an important role in proteasome degradation of hypoxia inducible factor α (HIFα) through E3 activation. Accumulation of HIFα by loss of functional pVHL promotes tumorigenesis, thus, VHL has tumor suppressor gene capability in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). VHL is the most frequently mutated gene in ccRCC. The complete loss of VHL is mainly achieved by loss of chromosome 3p, which has a VHL coding region in combination with mutation or hypermethylation of the remaining copy of VHL. Given the risk of constitutional chromosome 3 translocation for RCC, it is important to detect the translocation and understand the mechanism underlying the development of multifocal ccRCC. CASE REPORT A 67-year-old female patient diagnosed with multifocal RCC underwent robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for three kidney tumors. A cancer gene panel test using next generation sequencing (NGS) detected differential VHL mutations (c.533T>G; p.L178R, c.465_466insTA; p.T157Ifs*3, c.343C>A; p.H115N), while VHL mutation was not detected in peripheral blood DNA. A tendency toward copy number loss of genes on der(3) was also detected in all tumors, but not in the germline one. A karyotype analysis revealed a germline translocation between 3 and 6, t(3;6)(q12;q14). CONCLUSION Chromosome 3 translocation and loss of derivative chromosome containing 3p and subsequent somatic differential VHL mutations in this case strongly support the previously proposed three-step model to explain the development of familial conventional ccRCC.

Abstract
Background Urothelial carcinoma (UC) is a common malignancy with significant associated mortality. Recent clinical trials suggest an emerging role for HER2-targeted therapy. Testing for HER2 expression in UC is not part of current routine clinical practice. In consequence, the prevalence of HER2 expression in UC is not well defined. Methods A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted to characterize HER2 expression in both locally advanced unresectable or metastatic (LA/mUC) and earlier stage UC, classified as HER2+, HER2-low, HER2-. HER2+ was defined as an immunohistochemistry (IHC) score of 3+ or IHC 2+ and ISH/FISH+. HER2-low was defined as an IHC score of 2+ and ISH/FISH- or IHC 1+. HER2- was defined as an IHC score of 0. Weighted averages were calculated to generate an estimate of the population prevalence. Results A total of 88 studies were identified, with 45, 30, and 13 studies investigating LA/mUC, earlier stage UC, and mixed stage/unspecified, respectively. The most common assays used were Dako HercepTest and Ventana Pathway anti-HER2/neu (4B5) for IHC to assess HER2 protein expression; Abbott PathVysion HER-2 DNA Probe Kit, FoundationOne CDx, and Guardant360 CDx for assessing HER2 gene amplification. The most frequently cited scoring guidelines were ASCO/CAP guidelines for breast cancer and gastric cancer, though most studies defined their own criteria for HER2 expression. Using the pre-specified definition, HER2+ prevalence ranged from 6.7% to 37.5% with a weighted average of 13.0% in LA/mUC. Only 1 study presented data that could be classified as HER2+ based on pre-specified criteria in earlier stage UC patients, and this study represented a likely outlier, at 76.0%. Conclusion The results from this SLR help to shed light on HER2 expression in UC, a potentially clinically relevant biomarker-driven subpopulation for emerging HER2-directed regimens. Results of this SLR illuminate the variability in how HER2+ status expression levels are being assessed and how HER2+ is defined. Consensus on standardized HER2 testing and scoring criteria is paramount to better understand the clinical relevance in patients with UC.

Abstract
In the frame of radiotherapy treatment of cancer, radioresistance remains a major issue that still needs solutions to be overcome. To effectively improve the radiosensitivity of tumors and reduce the damage of radiation to neighboring normal tissues, radiosensitizers have been given increasing attention in recent years. As nanoparticles based on the metal element gadolinium, AGuIX nanoparticles have been shown to increase the radiosensitivity of cancers. Although it is a rare nanomaterial that has entered preclinical trials, the unclear biological mechanism hinders its further clinical application. In this study, we demonstrated the effectiveness of AGuIX nanoparticles in the radiosensitization of triple-negative breast cancer. We found that AGuIX nanoparticles increased the level of DNA damage by compromising the homologous recombination repair pathway instead of the non-homologous end joining pathway. Moreover, the results showed that AGuIX nanoparticles induced apoptosis, but the degree of apoptosis ability was very low, which cannot fully explain their strong radiosensitizing effect. Ferroptosis, the other mode of cell death, was also discovered to play a significant role in radiation sensitization, and AGuIX nanoparticles may regulate the anti-ferroptosis system by inhibiting the NRF2-GSH-GPX4 signaling pathway.

Abstract
The development of successful treatment regimens for breast cancer requires strong pre-clinical data generated in physiologically relevant pre-clinical models. Here we report the development of the chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) model to study tumor growth and angiogenesis using breast cancer cell lines. MDA-MB-231 and MCF7 tumor cell lines were engrafted onto the chick embryo CAM to study tumor growth and treatment response. Tumor growth was evaluated through bioluminescence imaging and a significant increase in tumor size and vascularization was found over a 9-day period. We then evaluated the impact of anti-angiogenic drugs, axitinib and bevacizumab, on tumor growth and angiogenesis. Drug treatment significantly reduced tumor vascularization and size. Overall, our findings demonstrate that the chick embryo CAM is a clinically relevant model to monitor therapeutic response in breast cancer and can be used as a platform for drug screening to evaluate not only gross changes in tumor burden but physiological processes such as angiogenesis.

Abstract
Sepsis, defined as life-threatening organ failure caused by a dysregulated host response to severe infection, is a major cause of death among intensive care unit patients. Therapies targeting on immunomodulatory is a new research field in sepsis treatment. B- and T-lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA) is an inhibitory costimulatory factor molecule of B and T lymphocytes. Studies have shown that elevated expression of BTLA in lymphocytes can reduce mortality in sepsis, but its regulatory compounds and the underlying mechanism remains to be elucidated. Here, we show that treatment with CP-673451 significantly decreases mortality of septic mouse. CP-673451 is a PDGFR kinase inhibitor which can promote the expression of BTLA, inhibit the release of chemokines such as CXCL13, and reduce first the chemotaxis of B cells to the peripheral blood and vital organs. CP-673451 also inhibits both the release of cytokines and chemokines such as IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, CCL1, CCL2 and CCL7 and reduces both the chemotactic ability of T cells. This suggests that CP-673451 may prevent septic death by inhibiting lymphocyte chemotaxis and alleviating "cytokine storm". In conclusion, our study provides a new therapeutic target and an effective compound for sepsis treatment.

Abstract
Purpose Multiple reports have demonstrated that highly expressed chloride intracellular channel 1 (CLIC1) exists in a range of malignant tumors and is involved in proliferation, invasion, and migration of cancer cells. There are few studies on CLIC1 and breast cancer (BC). The purpose of this research was to evaluate the expression level of CLIC1 in BC and its impact on prognosis of BC patients. Patients and Methods Differences in CLIC1 expression levels in 25 pairs of BC and corresponding paracancerous specimens were tested by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot (WB). Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed to discuss the relevance between CLIC1 expression in BC tissue chips and clinicopathological parameters of BC patients. The effect of CLIC1 expression on patient prognosis was evaluated by Kaplan–Meier survival curve and Cox regression analysis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve assessed the diagnostic performance of CLIC1 for BC. Results The experimental results of qRT-PCR and WB demonstrated that CLIC1 was highly expressed in BC tissues. IHC results showed that overexpression of CLIC1 was strictly correlated with tumor size, TNM classification, pathological grade, lymph node metastasis and Ki67. Patients with lower CLIC1 expression had longer overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Cox regression analysis and ROC curve confirmed that CLIC1 could independently influence the prognosis of BC patients and might have diagnostic efficiency. Conclusion Overexpressed CLIC1 is closely related to the progression of BC and the poor prognosis of the patients, suggesting that it may act as a potential biological diagnostic index for BC.

Abstract
The aggressive triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a challenging disease due to the absence of tailored therapy. The search for new therapies involves intensive research focusing on natural sources. Achillea fragrantissima (A. fragrantissima) is a traditional medicine from the Middle East region. Various solvent extracts from different A. fragrantissima plant parts, including flowers, leaves, and roots, were tested on TNBC MDA-MB-231 cells. Using liquid chromatography, the fingerprinting revealed rich and diverse compositions for A. fragrantissima plant parts using polar to non-polar solvent extracts indicating possible differences in bioactivities. Using the CellTiter-Glo™ viability assay, the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values were determined for each extract and ranged from 32.4 to 161.7 µg/mL. The A. fragrantissima flower dichloromethane extract had the lowest mean IC50 value and was chosen for further investigation. Upon treatment with increasing A. fragrantissima flower dichloromethane extract concentrations, the MDA-MB-231 cells displayed, in a dose-dependent manner, enhanced morphological and biochemical hallmarks of apoptosis, including cell shrinkage, phosphatidylserine exposure, caspase activity, and mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization, assessed using phase-contrast microscopy, fluorescence-activated single-cell sorting analysis, Image-iT™ live caspase, and mitochondrial transition pore opening activity, respectively. Anticancer target prediction and molecular docking studies revealed the inhibitory activity of a few A. fragrantissima flower dichloromethane extract-derived metabolites against carbonic anhydrase IX, an enzyme reported for its anti-apoptotic properties. In conclusion, these findings suggest promising therapeutic values of the A. fragrantissima flower dichloromethane extract against TNBC development.

Countering Triple Negative Breast Cancer via Impeding Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling, a Phytotherapeutic Approach. PLANTS 2022; 11:plants11172191. [PMID: 36079579 PMCID: PMC9460573 DOI: 10.3390/plants11172191] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2022] [Revised: 08/18/2022] [Accepted: 08/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022]
Abstract
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is characterized as a heterogeneous disease with severe malignancy and high mortality. Aberrant Wnt/β-catenin signaling is responsible for self-renewal and mammosphere generation, metastasis and resistance to apoptosis and chemotherapy in TNBC. Nonetheless, in the absence of a targeted therapy, chemotherapy is regarded as the exclusive treatment strategy for the treatment of TNBC. This review aims to provide an unprecedented overview of the plants and herbal derivatives which repress the progression of TNBC through prohibiting the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Herbal medicine extracts and bioactive compounds (alkaloids, retinoids. flavonoids, terpenes, carotenoids and lignans) alone, in combination with each other and/or with chemotherapy agents could interrupt the various steps of Wnt/β-catenin signaling, i.e., WNT, FZD, LRP, GSK3β, Dsh, APC, β-catenin and TCF/LEF. These phytotherapy agents diminish proliferation, metastasis, breast cancer stem cell self-renewal and induce apoptosis in cell and animal models of TNBC through the down-expression of the downstream target genes of Wnt signaling. Some of the herbal derivatives simultaneously impede Wnt/β-catenin signaling and other overactive pathways in triple negative breast cancer, including: mTORC1; ER stress and SATB1 signaling. The herbal remedies and their bioactive ingredients perform essential roles in the treatment of the very fatal TNBC via repression of Wnt/β-catenin signaling.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to assess immunohistochemical CD34, podoplanin and Ki-67 expression in cervical tumour of patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) staged IIB and IIIB, a relationship with selected clinical and histological parameters and its prognostic significance. This prospective study included 52 patients. Microvessel density (MVD) by CD34, lymphatic vessel density (LVD) by podoplanin and the Ki-67 index in specimens from paraffin blocks with cervical SCC tissues were examined. The relationship between these data and selected clinical and histological parameters was analysed. Positive correlation of MVD and the Ki-67 index was observed. No correlation was observed for MVD, LVD and the Ki-67 index in the tumour with staging, grading, length of treatment and squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag) concentration before and after treatment. The expression of MVD, LVD and the Ki-67 index in cervical SCC did not contribute to the risk of relapse and cancer-related death. No relationship was found for MVD, LVD and the Ki-67 index in cervical tumour of patients with locally advanced cervical SCC with staging, grading and serum SCC-Ag level. MVD, LVD and the Ki-67 index in the tumour did not contribute to the risk of relapse or cervical SCC-related death.Impact StatementWhat is already known on this subject? In many patients, invasive cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is diagnosed in a locally advanced stage, when the prognosis depends on many well-known factors connected with tumour biology, staging and general condition of the patient. Despite numerous studies, the value of immunohistochemical CD34, podoplanin and Ki-67 expression in cervical tumour of these patients is still not well defined.What do the results of this study add? In our prospective study, no relationship for microvessel density (MVD), lymphatic vessel density (LVD) and the Ki-67 index in cervical tumour of patients with locally advanced cervical SCC with staging, grading and serum squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag) level was found. Additionally, MVD, LVD and the Ki-67 index in the tumour did not contribute to the risk of relapse or cervical SCC-related death.What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? Our study underlines the limited value of immunohistochemical CD34, podoplanin and Ki-67 expression in cervical tumour of patients with locally advanced cervical SCC. Further research should be focussed on identifying and validating novel prognostic and predictive factors.

Intratumoral PDGFB gene predominantly expressed in endothelial cells is associated with angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis, but not with metastasis in breast cancer. Breast Cancer Res Treat 2022; 195:17-31.

Abstract
PURPOSE Platelet-derived growth factor B (PDGFB) is known to play essential roles in angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis during development, and tumor growth and vessel stabilization in experimental models. However, whether these findings could be translated to breast cancer patients remains unclear. We hypothesized that PDGFB gene expression is associated with angiogenesis, cell proliferation, and clinical outcomes in breast cancer patients. METHODS A total of 7635 primary breast cancer patients with full transcriptome and clinical data available from 13 independent cohorts were analyzed using in silico approach. The median value was used to divide each cohort into high and low PDGFB expression groups. RESULTS High PDGFB gene expression was associated with increased expression of angiogenesis-related genes, higher amount of vascular cell infiltrations, and with enrichment of angiogenesis gene set, lymphangiogenesis-related gene expressions, lymphangiogenesis-related cell infiltrations, and enrichmentof lymphangiogenesis gene set in GSE96058 and validated by TCGA cohorts; however, not with lymphatic metastasis. PDGFB expression was neither associated with cell proliferation as assessed by Ki67 expression nor with Nottingham histological grade, or response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. We found that PDGFB was most extensively expressed by endothelial and perivascular-like cells in the tumor microenvironment, and minimally by cancer cells consistently in two single-cell sequence cohorts. High PDGFB expression enriched TGFβ, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, hypoxia, and cancer stem cell-associated pathways. However, no association with distant metastasis was observed. Disease-specific and disease-free survival were worse in the high PDGFB expression group consistently in TCGA and METABRIC cohorts. CONCLUSION PDGFB is predominantly expressed in endothelial cells and is associated with angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis, but not with cellular proliferation or metastasis in breast cancer.

Abstract
The interaction of non-kinase transmembrane glycoprotein CD44 with ligands including hyaluronic acid (HA) is closely related to the occurrence and development of tumors. Changes in CD44 glycosylation can regulate its binding to HA, Siglec-15, fibronectin, TM4SF5, PRG4, FGF2, collagen and podoplanin and activate or inhibit c-Src/STAT3/Twist1/Bmi1, PI3K/AKT/mTOR, ERK/NF-κB/NANOG and other signaling pathways, thereby having a profound impact on the tumor microenvironment and tumor cell fate. However, the glycosylation of CD44 is complex and largely unknown, and the current understanding of how CD44 glycosylation affects tumors is limited. These issues must be addressed before targeted CD44 glycosylation can be applied to treat human cancers.

Abstract
Arterial stiffness is a strong predictor of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality in middle-aged and old adults. Arterial stiffness has been limited to being an intermediate marker of atherosclerotic cardiovascular events in adolescents and young adult studies. The paucity of normative longitudinal data and repeated gold-standard assessments of arterial stiffness among the young population has occasioned a huge knowledge gap in its clinical utility. This review summarizes recent longitudinal evidence in a large adolescent population, supporting the value of arterial stiffness as a novel risk factor for hypertension, overweight/obesity and insulin resistance. Preventing or decreasing arterial stiffness during adolescence may confer cardiometabolic health benefits in later life, but further pathological and mechanistic research is needed. The review also offers suggestions for incorporating arterial stiffness measures into routine paediatric and young adult clinical practice.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a molecular subtype of breast cancer, which is a major health burden of females worldwide. Thymoquinone (TQ), a natural compound, has been found to be effective against TNBC cells, and this study identified IL17RD as a novel target of TQ in TNBC cells.
Methods
We have performed chromatin immunoprecipitation Sequence (ChIP-Seq) by MBD1 (methyl-CpG binding domain protein 1) antibody to identify genome-wide methylated sites affected by TQ. ChIP-seq identified 136 genes, including the tumor suppressor IL17RD, as a novel target of TQ, which is epigenetically upregulated by TQ in TNBC cell lines BT-549 and MDA-MB-231. The IL17RD expression and survival outcomes were studied by Kaplan–Meier analysis.
Results
TQ treatment inhibited the growth, migration, and invasion of TNBC cells with or without IL17RD overexpression or knockdown, while the combination of IL17RD overexpression and TQ treatment were the most effective against TNBC cells. Moreover, higher expression of IL17RD is associated with longer survival in TNBC patients, indicating potential therapeutic roles of TQ and IL17RD against TNBC.
Conclusions
Our data suggest that IL17RD might be epigenetically upregulated in TNBC cell lines by TQ, and this might be one of the mechanisms by which TQ exerts its anticancer and antimetastatic effects on TNBC cells.

Abstract
Background Mast cell density has been shown to have both enhancing and inhibiting effects on tumour progression and the ability to predict breast cancer behaviour in humans. However, prognostic results have been contradictory. Some previous studies suggested involvement of mast cells in the progression of canine mammary tumours. This study investigated total, intratumoural and peritumoural mast cell densities by Giemsa staining, and their association with clinicopathological parameters and the disease outcome of canine mammary tumours. In addition, since mast cells promote angiogenesis, the microvascular density and endothelial area were evaluated by CD31 immunostaining. Results Intratumoural mast cell density was associated with tumour size, lymph node involvement and tumour-infiltrating lymphocyte count, while peritumoural mast cell density was associated with grade. The endothelial area was associated with grade, mitotic index, tubular formation and proliferation index. Tumours with a high grade, high total intratumoural mast cell density and a larger endothelial area were associated with shorter disease-free survival. Intratumoural mast cell density and grade were found to be independent prognostic factors. Conclusions These results suggest that intratumoural mast cell density and the endothelial area can be used to evaluate the aggressiveness of canine mammary carcinomas, while intratumoural mast cell density could be of use as an independent predictor of a prognosis of disease-free survival. Peritumoural mast cell density does not seem to influence tumour behaviour.

Abstract
Long intergenic nonprotein coding RNA 1194 (LINC01194) has been reported as an oncogene in several cancer types, but its expression and potential role in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) are still unclear. We found that LINC01194 was significantly highly expressed in TNBC based on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Data from in vitro experiments and in vivo assays demonstrated that LINC01194 promoted TNBC progression. Through bioinformatics prediction, mass spectrometry, and mechanical experiments, we found that LINC01194 could recruit nuclear mitotic apparatus protein 1 (NUMA1) to bind to the untranslated region (3'UTR) of ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 C (UBE2C) 3' and stabilize UBE2C mRNA. Moreover, we found that UBE2C acted as an ubiquitin ligase to promote the ubiquitination and degradation of ryanodine receptor type 2 (RYR2) that inhibited the progression of TNBC by inhibiting the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. In summary, LINC01194 activate the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and accelerates the malignant progression of TNBC by recruiting NUMA1 to stabilize UBE2C mRNA and thus promotes RYR2 ubiquitination and degradation. These findings might provide a more effective therapeutic strategy for TNBC patients.

Abstract
Aim: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women worldwide. Therefore, there is a need to define new strategies that can overcome the deficiencies of existing treatments. In our study, we aimed to define new herbal combination therapies that can be used to target breast cancer cells. For this purpose, we investigated the cytotoxic, apoptotic, anti-proliferative and cell cycle regulatory effects of Centaurea calolepis (CCI), Origanum sipyleum (OSM) and Phlomis lycia (PLI) plant extracts in combination with ponatinib on MCF-7 cells.
Materials and Methods: The cytotoxic effects of OSM, CCI, PLI and ponatinib on MCF-7 cells were measured in real time by xCELLigence. The median-effect equation was used for the analysis of combinations of ponatinib with CCI (p-CCI), OSM (p-OSM), PLI (p-PLI). Apoptosis, proliferation and cell cycle regulation were evaluated by flow cytometry.
Results: The IC50 doses of CCI, OSM and PLI extracts in MCF-7 cells were calculated as 59.5, 57, 44.2 μg/ml at 48 hours and 51.6, 54.21, 42.52 μg/ml at 72 hours, respectively. Combination analyses revealed that p-CCI was additive, p-OSM and p-PLI showed a moderate synergistic effect at 48th hours. It was determined that apoptosis induced by ponatinib was significantly increased with the combinations of CCI and PLI. CCI and PLI treatments exhibited moderate anti-proliferative effects on MCF-7 cells, while OSM extract suppressed proliferation most significantly. Consistent with the proliferation results, the highest G0/G1 arrest was observed with OSM treatment. It was revealed that combined p-CCI and p-PLI treatments significantly increased the anti-proliferative effect of ponatinib and caused a higher level of G0/G1 accumulation.
Conclusion: Combinations of ponatinib and CCI, OSM, PLI plant extracts exhibited anti-cancer activity in breast cancer with induction of apoptosis, suppression of proliferation and cell cycle arrest. In light of the high anti-cancer effects identified, extracts of these Turkish endemic plants may represent a potential strategy in the treatment of breast cancer patients.

Abstract
The application of chemodynamic therapy (CDT) for cancer is a serious challenge owing to the low efficiency of the Fenton catalyst and insufficient H2O2 expression in cells. Herein, we fabricated a PDGFB targeting, biodegradable FePt alloy assembly for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided chemotherapy and starving-enhanced chemodynamic therapy for cancer using PDGFB targeting, pH-sensitive liposome-coated FePt alloys, and GOx (pLFePt-GOx). We found that the Fenton-catalytic activity of FePt alloys was far stronger than that of traditional ultrasmall iron oxide nanoparticle (UION). Upon entry into cancer cells, pLFePt-GOx nanoliposomes degraded into many tiny FePt alloys and released GOx owing to the weakly acidic nature of the tumor microenvironment (TME). The released GOx-mediated glucose consumption not only caused a starvation status but also increased the level of cellular H2O2 and acidity, promoting Fenton reaction by FePt alloys and resulting in an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation in cells, which ultimately realized starving-enhanced chemodynamic process for killing tumor cells. The anticancer mechanism of pLFePt-GOx involved ROS-mediated apoptosis and ferroptosis, and glucose depletion-mediated starvation death. In the in vivo assay, the systemic delivery of pLFePt-GOx showed excellent antitumor activity with low biological toxicity and significantly enhanced T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signal of the tumor, indicating that pLFePt-GOx can serve as a highly efficient theranostic tool for cancer. This work thus describes an effective, novel multi-modal cancer theranostic system.

Abstract
Introduction: The effective induction of angiogenesis is directly related to the success of bone-substitute materials (BSM) for maxillofacial osseous regeneration. Therefore, the addition of pro-angiogenic properties to a commercially available bovine bone-substitute material in combination with hyaluronic acid (BSM+) was compared to the same bone-substitute material without hyaluronic acid (BSM) in an in-vivo model. Materials and Methods: BSM+ and BSM were incubated for six days on the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) of fertilized chicken eggs. Microscopically, the number of vessels and branching points, the vessel area and vessel length were evaluated. Subsequently, the total vessel area and brightness integration were assessed after immunohistochemical staining (H&E, alphaSMA). Results: In the BSM+ group, a significantly higher number of vessels (p < 0.001), branching points (p = 0.001), total vessel area (p < 0.001) as well as vessel length (p = 0.001) were found in comparison to the BSM group without hyaluronic acid. Immunohistochemically, a significantly increased total vessel area (p < 0.001 for H&E, p = 0.037 for alphaSMA) and brightness integration (p = 0.047) for BSM+ in comparison to the native material were seen. Conclusions: The combination of a xenogenic bone-substitute material with hyaluronic acid significantly induced angiogenesis in vivo. This might lead to a faster integration and an improved healing in clinical situations.

Distinct Gene Expression Profiles of Matched Primary and Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancers. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14102447.

Abstract
Background: Although triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is associated with an increased risk of recurrence and metastasis, the molecular mechanisms underlying metastasis in TNBC remain unknown. To identify transcriptional changes and genes regulating metastatic progression in TNBC, we compared the transcriptomic profiles of primary and matched metastatic tumors using massively parallel RNA sequencing. Methods: We performed gene expression profiling using formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) TNBC tissues of patients from two cohorts: the Zurich cohort (n = 31) and the Stavanger cohort (n = 5). Among the 31 patients in the Zurich cohort, 18 had primary TNBC tumors that did not metastasize, and 13 had primary tumors that metastasized (11 paired primary and locoregional recurrences). The Stavanger cohort included five matched primary and metastatic TNBC tumors. Significantly differentially expressed genes (DEGs; absolute fold change ≥2, p < 0.05) were identified and subjected to functional analyses. We investigated if there was any overlap between DEGs from both the cohorts with epithelial-to-mesenchymal-to-amoeboid transition (EMAT) gene signature. xCell was used to estimate relative fractions of 64 immune and stromal cell types in each RNA-seq sample. Results: In the Zurich cohort, we identified 1624 DEGs between primary TNBC tumors and matched metastatic lesions. xCell analysis revealed a significantly higher immune scores for metastatic lesions compared to paired primary tumors in the Zurich cohort. We also found significant upregulation of three MammaPrint signature genes (HRASLS, TGFB3 and RASSF7) in primary tumors that metastasized compared to primary tumors that remained metastasis-free. In the Stavanger cohort, we identified 818 DEGs between primary tumors and matched metastatic lesions. No significant differences in xCell immune scores were observed. We found that 21 and 14 DEGs from Zurich and Stavanger cohort, respectively, overlapped with the EMAT gene signature. In both cohorts, genes belonging to the MMP, FGF, and PDGFR families were upregulated in primary tumors compared to matched metastatic lesions. Conclusions: Our results suggest that distinct gene expression patterns exist between primary TNBCs and matched metastatic tumors. Further studies are warranted to explore whether these discrete expression profiles underlie or result from disease status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has rapid development and a worse prognosis, without special treatment. It is necessary to explore targeted treatment. OBJECTIVE To explore the significance of CD147 and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in TNBC and their influence on prognosis. METHODS 81 TNBC patients admitted to our hospital and 86 healthy individuals undergoing physical examination from August 2014 to August 2016 were included. The concentrations of serum CD147 and MMP-9, their diagnostic value, and their relationship with clinicopathologic features were analyzed. A 3-year follow-up visit was conducted to assess the prognostic effect of CD147. Its effect on the biologic behavior of breast cancer cells was also determined. RESULTS Higher serum CD147 and MMP-9 levels were found in TNBC patients than healthy individuals (P<0.05). CD147 and MMP-9 were closely related to the pathologic stage, metastasis, and differentiation of the tumors (P<0.05). A positive correlation between CD147 and MMP-9 was detected before chemotherapy (n=127, r=0.609, P<0.01), with similar expression rates of CD147 (76.9%) and MMP-9 (80.67%) (P>0.05). The 2 markers were independent risk factors for poor prognosis in TNBC (PCD147=0.023; PMMP-9=0.015), and increased CD147/MMP-9 expression was significantly related to treatment failure. After chemotherapy, the expression of CD147 in TNBC patients decreased, and higher expression predicted death (P<0.05). The sensitivity and specificity of CD147 for death in 3-year follow-up were 76.92% and 88.89%, and the expression of CD147 in breast cancer cells was increased (P<0.001). Interfering with CD147 can decrease the proliferation and invasion of breast cancer cells and increase apoptotic rate (P<0.05). CONCLUSION CD147 can promote the proliferation and invasion of breast cancer cells, which underlines its value in the diagnosis and treatment of TNBC.

Abstract
Early diagnosis of ovarian cancer and the discovery of prognostic markers can significantly improve survival and reduce mortality. OPA3 protein exists in a structure called mitochondria, which is the energy production center of cells, but its molecular and biological functions in ovarian cancer are still unclear. Here, the expression of OPA3 mRNA in ovarian cancer was estimated using TCGA, Oncomine, TIMER databases. We found that functional OPA3 activation caused by mutations and profound deletions predicted poor prognosis in OV patients. OPA3 was highly expressed in both OV tissues and cells compared to normal ovarian tissues/cells. High OPA3 expression is associated with poorer overall survival (OS). The association between OPA3 and immune infiltration of ovarian cancer was assessed by TIMER and CIBERSORT algorithms. OPA3 showed a strong correlation with various immune marker sets. Most importantly, pharmacogenetic analysis of OV cell lines revealed that OPA3 inactivation was associated with increased sensitivity to PFI-1, and WZ4003. Therefore, we investigated the clinical application of OPA3 to provide a basis for sensitive diagnosis, prognosis and targeted treatment of ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Clearance of dying cells by efferocytosis is necessary for cardiac repair after myocardial infarction (MI). Recent reports have suggested a protective role for vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGFC) during acute cardiac lymphangiogenesis after MI. Here, we report that defective efferocytosis by macrophages after experimental MI led to a reduction in cardiac lymphangiogenesis and Vegfc expression. Cell-intrinsic evidence for efferocytic induction of Vegfc was revealed after adding apoptotic cells to cultured primary macrophages, which subsequently triggered Vegfc transcription and VEGFC secretion. Similarly, cardiac macrophages elevated Vegfc expression levels after MI, and mice deficient for myeloid Vegfc exhibited impaired ventricular contractility, adverse tissue remodeling, and reduced lymphangiogenesis. These results were observed in mouse models of permanent coronary occlusion and clinically relevant ischemia and reperfusion. Interestingly, myeloid Vegfc deficiency also led to increases in acute infarct size, prior to the amplitude of the acute cardiac lymphangiogenesis response. RNA-Seq and cardiac flow cytometry revealed that myeloid Vegfc deficiency was also characterized by a defective inflammatory response, and macrophage-produced VEGFC was directly effective at suppressing proinflammatory macrophage activation. Taken together, our findings indicate that cardiac macrophages promote healing through the promotion of myocardial lymphangiogenesis and the suppression of inflammatory cytokines.

Synthesis and Evaluation of Technetium-99m-Labeled pH (Low) Insertion Peptide Variant 7 for Early Diagnosis of MDA-MB-231 Triple-Negative Breast Cancer by Targeting the Tumor Microenvironment. Front Oncol 2022; 12:869260. [PMID: 35530359 PMCID: PMC9069674 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.869260] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2022] [Accepted: 03/28/2022] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective To prepare technetium-99m (99mTc)-labeled pH (low) insertion peptide variant 7 [pHLIP (Var7)] and carry out small-animal single-photon-emission computed tomography (SPECT)/computed tomography (CT) imaging of tumor-bearing nude mice in vivo to study its value in the early diagnosis of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Methods The pHLIP (Var7) sequence was synthesized via solid-phase peptide synthesis. Four amino acids, Gly-(D)-Ala-Gly-Gly, were attached to the N-terminus of pHLIP (Var7) to form a strong chelating group containing an N4 structure. The peptide was labeled with 99mTc using a direct labeling method. We determined the in vitro binding fraction of 99mTc-pHLIP (Var7) to MDA-MB-231 cells. Serial biodistribution studies and small-animal SPECT/CT imaging in MDA-MB-231 TNBC-bearing mice were performed using 99mTc-pHLIP (Var7). Results The radiochemical yield and purity of 99mTc-pHLIP (Var7) were 99.49 ± 0.17% and 99.63 ± 0.44%, respectively. The radiochemical purity was still more than 96% after 24 h in serum. The binding fraction of 99mTc-pHLIP (Var7) to MDA-MB-231 cells continuously increased in an acidic environment and was significantly higher than the cell-binding fraction (P < 0.01) at pH = 7.4 and the cell-binding fraction (P < 0.01) of 99mTc-kVar7 at different pH values (pH = 6.0, 6.5, 7.0 and 7.4) at each time point (P < 0.01). The distribution of 99mTc-pHLIP (Var7) in tumors at each time point was significantly greater than that of 99mTc-kVar7 (P < 0.01). SPECT/CT imaging was largely consistent with the biodistribution results; the tumor was clearly imaged at each time point after injection of 99mTc-pHLIP (Var7) but could not be imaged after injection of 99mTc-kVar7. Conclusion 99mTc-pHLIP (Var7) showed a high radiochemical yield and stability and was highly concentrated in tumor tissues. Although there was strong radioactive background in the abdomen of tumor-bearing nude mice, it did not hinder early diagnosis of TNBC.

Abstract
Tumor outcome is determined not only by cancer cell-intrinsic features but also by the interaction between cancer cells and their microenvironment. There is great interest in tumor-infiltrating immune cells, yet mast cells have been less studied. Recent work has highlighted the impact of mast cells on the features and aggressiveness of cancer cells, but the eventual effect of mast cell infiltration is still controversial. Here, we review multifaceted findings regarding the role of mast cells in cancer, with a particular focus on breast cancer, which is further complicated because of its classification into subtypes characterized by different biological features, outcome, and therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Lymphedema is characterized by progressive and chronic tissue swelling and inflammation from local accumulation of interstitial fluid due to lymphatic injury or dysfunction. It is a debilitating condition that significantly impacts a patient's quality of life, and has limited treatment options. With better understanding of the molecular mechanisms and pathophysiology of lymphedema and advances in tissue engineering technologies, lymphatic tissue bioengineering and regeneration have emerged as a potential therapeutic option for postsurgical lymphedema. Various strategies involving stem cells, lymphangiogenic factors, bioengineered matrices and mechanical stimuli allow more precisely controlled regeneration of lymphatic tissue at the site of lymphedema without subjecting patients to complications or iatrogenic injuries associated with surgeries. This review provides an overview of current innovative approaches of lymphatic tissue bioengineering that represent a promising treatment option for postsurgical lymphedema.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite antitumor properties, chemotherapy medication can create conditions in tumor cells that work in favor of the tumor. Doxorubicin, commonly prescribed chemotherapy agents, can increase the risk of migration and invasion of tumor cells through overexpression of the CXCR4 gene by affecting downstream signaling pathways. The regulatory role of CXCR7 on CXCR4 function has been demonstrated. Therefore, it is hypothesized that combining doxorubicin with another anticancer drug could be a promising approach. METHODS In this research, we evaluated the anti-invasive property of pioglitazone along with antitumor effects of doxorubicin on MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines. RESULTS There was no significant difference between two treatment groups in neither the expression nor changes in the expression of CXCR7 and CXCR4 genes (P < 0.05). Pioglitazone-doxorubicin combination reduced cell migration in tumor cells to a significantly higher extent compared to doxorubicin alone (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Co-administration of pioglitazone and doxorubicin might reduce cell migration in breast cancer tumor cells, and that cell migration function is independent of some specific proteins.

Abstract
Background Previous animal studies have shown a protective effect of 5-phosphodiesterase inhibitors on cancer therapeutics-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) of anthracyclines. Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical effect of sildenafil on the primary prevention of CTRCD in human. Materials and Methods In this randomized double-blind clinical trial, the primary end point was efficacy in preventing the reduction of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). The intervention group patients received sildenafil at a dose of 25 milligrams twice a day before starting the chemotherapeutic regimen, and the control group received placebo. All the patients at baseline and after the 6-month follow-up underwent 4D and speckle-tracking echocardiography and cardiac MRI, accompanied by hs-troponin I and NT-Pro-BNP measurement. Results Sixty patients were enrolled in this study, and data from 52 patients (24 patients in the intervention group and 28 patients in the control group) were used in the final analysis. Our findings showed that in the intervention and control groups, LVEF was dropped from 61.28 ± 7.36 to 51.57 ± 7.67 (difference (D) = −9.71 ± 11.95, p=0.003) and from 57.9 ± 7.29 to 50.2 ± 7.02% (D = −7.7 ± 5.93; p=0.001), respectively (between-group difference = −2.01%, p=0.26). CTRCD was detected in 11 patients in the control group (42.8%) and 10 in the intervention group (41.6%, p=0.51). Conclusion Consumption of sildenafil for primary prevention of anthracycline-induced cardiac toxicity seems to be unbeneficial. This trial is registered with IRCT20180506039554N1.

Abstract
Aberrant lymphatic system function has been increasingly implicated in pathologies such as lymphedema, organ transplant rejection, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. While some pathologies are exacerbated by lymphatic vessel regression and dysfunction, induced lymphatic regression could be therapeutically beneficial in others. Despite its importance, our understanding of lymphatic vessel regression is far behind that of blood vessel regression. Herein, we review the current understanding of blood vessel regression to identify several hallmarks of this phenomenon that can be extended to further our understanding of lymphatic vessel regression. We also summarize current research on lymphatic vessel regression and an array of research tools and models that can be utilized to advance this field. Additionally, we discuss the roles of lymphatic vessel regression and dysfunction in select pathologies, highlighting how an improved understanding of lymphatic vessel regression may yield therapeutic insights for these disease states.

Abstract
Lymphangiogenesis (LA) is the formation of new lymphatic vessels by lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) sprouting from pre-existing lymphatic vessels. It is increasingly recognized as being involved in many diseases, such as in cancer and secondary lymphedema, which most often results from cancer treatments. For some cancers, excessive LA is associated with cancer progression and metastatic dissemination to the lymph nodes (LNs) through lymphatic vessels. The study of LA through in vitro, in vivo, and, more recently, in silico models is of paramount importance in providing novel insights and identifying the key molecular actors in the biological dysregulation of this process under pathological conditions. In this review, the different biological (in vitro and in vivo) models of LA, especially in a cancer context, are explained and discussed, highlighting their principal modeled features as well as their advantages and drawbacks. Imaging techniques of the lymphatics, complementary or even essential to in vivo models, are also clarified and allow the establishment of the link with computational approaches. In silico models are introduced, theoretically described, and illustrated with examples specific to the lymphatic system and the LA. Together, these models constitute a toolbox allowing the LA research to be brought to the next level.

Abstract
Vorolanib (CM082) is a multi-targeted tyrosine kinase receptor inhibitor with a short half-life and limited tissue accumulation that has been shown to reduce choroidal neovascularization in rats. In this preclinical study, vorolanib demonstrated competitive binding and inhibitory activities with KDR, PDGFRβ, FLT3, and C-Kit, and inhibited RET and AMPKα1 more weakly than sunitinib, indicating more stringent kinase selectivity. Vorolanib inhibited vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-induced proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and HUVEC tube formation in vitro. In mouse xenograft models, vorolanib inhibited tumor growth of MV-4-11, A549, 786-O, HT-29, BxPC-3, and A375 cells in a dose-dependent fashion. Complete tumor regression was achieved in the MV-4-11 xenograft model. No significant toxicities were observed in vorolanib groups, whereas a significant negative impact on body weights was observed in the sunitinib group at a dose of 40 mg/kg qd. Overall, vorolanib is a novel multi-kinase receptor inhibitor with potent preclinical anti-angiogenic and anti-tumor activity that is potentially less toxic than other similar kinase inhibitors.

Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive, metastatic/invasive sub-class of breast cancer (BCa). Cell surface protein-derived multi-epitope vaccine-mediated targeting of TNBC cells could be a better strategy against the disease. Literature-based identified potential cell surface markers for TNBC cells were subjected to expression pattern and survival analysis in BCa patient sample using TCGA database. The cytotoxic and helper T-lymphocytes antigenic epitopes in the test proteins were identified, selected and fused together with the appropriate linkers and an adjuvant, to construct the multi-epitope vaccine (MEV). The immune profile, physiochemical property (PP) and world population coverage of the MEV was studied. Immune simulation, cloning in a suitable vector, molecular docking (against Toll-like receptors, MHC (I/II) molecules), and molecular dynamics simulations of the MEV was performed. Cell surface markers were differentially expressed in TNBC samples and showed poor survival in TNBC patients. Satisfactory PP and WPC (up to 89 and 99%) was observed. MEV significant stable binding with the immune molecules and induced the immune cells in silico. The designed vaccine has capability to elicit immune response which could be utilized to target TNBC alone/combination with other therapy. The experimental studies are required to check the efficacy of the vaccine. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s13205-022-03140-3.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly incident malignancy with a dreadful prognosis. It evolves through a multistep process, with a contribution from different stromal cells like cancer associated fibroblasts. Podoplanin is a glycoprotein that influences epithelial mesenchymal interplay facilitating the tumor invasion.
AIM: The aim of the study was to evaluate the immunohistochemical expression of Podoplanin in HCC in cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and malignant hepatocytes as well as assessing the lymphovascular density, and correlating them with the clinicopathological parameters.
METHODS: Sixty formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded HCC tissue blocks were retrieved from the pathology Department of the National Hepatology and Tropical Medicine Research Institute and Kasr Al-aini Hospital during the period of January 2012 till December 2019. The specimens were obtained through partial or total hepatectomy inclusion criteria included HCC cases obtained through resection type biopsy and those having no history of pre-operative cancer therapy, while cases with insufficient data, core biopsy, and marked necrosis were excluded from the study. Tumor tissue blocks were immunostained for Podoplanin and its expression was interpreted in lymphatic vessels, CAFs, and malignant hepatocytes.
RESULTS: Podoplanin expression in CAFs and malignant hepatocytes was detected in the majority of HCC cases (81.7%) and (88.3%), respectively. The malignant hepatocytes showed increased expression of Grade 1 immunostaining (36.7%). High lymphovascular density was detected over the majority of the cases (73.3%). Podoplanin expression was significantly correlated with higher mean age, male gender, presence of viral infection, cirrhosis, and higher tumor grade. Unifocal tumor mass, tumor size <5 cm, and presence of invasion showed a significant correlation with Podoplanin in malignant hepatocytes and CAFs for the formers and the later, respectively.
CONCLUSION: Podoplanin is highly expressed in HCC, which could be used as a prognostic marker for lymphangiogenesis. Furthermore, within the malignant hepatocytes and CAFs suggesting a role in hepatocellular tumorigenesis. Podoplanin targeted therapy can be investigated to slow down the tumor progression and metastasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Src tyrosine kinase phosphorylates effector proteins to induce expression of the podoplanin (PDPN) receptor in order to promote tumor progression. However, nontransformed cells can normalize the growth and morphology of neighboring transformed cells. Transformed cells must escape this process, called "contact normalization", to become invasive and malignant. Contact normalization requires junctional communication between transformed and nontransformed cells. However, specific junctions that mediate this process have not been defined. This study aimed to identify junctional proteins required for contact normalization. METHODS Src transformed cells and oral squamous cell carcinoma cells were cultured with nontransformed cells. Formation of heterocellular adherens junctions between transformed and nontransformed cells was visualized by fluorescent microscopy. CRISPR technology was used to produce cadherin deficient and cadherin competent nontransformed cells to determine the requirement for adherens junctions during contact normalization. Contact normalization of transformed cells cultured with cadherin deficient or cadherin competent nontransformed cells was analyzed by growth assays, immunofluorescence, western blotting, and RNA-seq. In addition, Src transformed cells expressing PDPN under a constitutively active exogenous promoter were used to examine the ability of PDPN to override contact normalization. RESULTS We found that N-cadherin (N-Cdh) appeared to mediate contact normalization. Cadherin competent cells that expressed N-Cdh inhibited the growth of neighboring transformed cells in culture, while cadherin deficient cells failed to inhibit the growth of these cells. Results from RNA-seq analysis indicate that about 10% of the transcripts affected by contact normalization relied on cadherin mediated communication, and this set of genes includes PDPN. In contrast, cadherin deficient cells failed to inhibit PDPN expression or normalize the growth of adjacent transformed cells. These data indicate that nontransformed cells formed heterocellular cadherin junctions to inhibit PDPN expression in adjacent transformed cells. Moreover, we found that PDPN enabled transformed cells to override the effects of contact normalization in the face of continued N-Cdh expression. Cadherin competent cells failed to normalize the growth of transformed cells expressing PDPN under a constitutively active exogenous promoter. CONCLUSIONS Nontransformed cells form cadherin junctions with adjacent transformed cells to decrease PDPN expression in order to inhibit tumor cell proliferation. Cancer begins when a single cell acquires changes that enables them to form tumors. During these beginning stages of cancer development, normal cells surround and directly contact the cancer cell to prevent tumor formation and inhibit cancer progression. This process is called contact normalization. Cancer cells must break free from contact normalization to progress into a malignant cancer. Contact normalization is a widespread and powerful process; however, not much is known about the mechanisms involved in this process. This work identifies proteins required to form contacts between normal cells and cancer cells, and explores pathways by which cancer cells override contact normalization to progress into malignant cancers.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the diseases with the highest morbidity and mortality rates worldwide, and its therapeutic options are inadequate. The endothelial glycoprotein, also known as CD105, is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein located on the surface of the cell membranes and it is one of the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) receptor complexes. It regulates the responses associated with binding to transforming growth factor β1 egg (Activin-A), bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2), and bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP-7). Additionally, it is involved in the regulation of angiogenesis. This glycoprotein is indispensable in the treatment of tumor angiogenesis, and it also plays a leading role in tumor angiogenesis therapy. Therefore, CD105 is considered to be a novel therapeutic target. In this study, we explored the significance of CD105 in the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of various tumors, and provided evidence for the effect and mechanism of CD105 on tumors.

Cell Biol Int 2022; 46:907-921. [PMID: 35165984 DOI: 10.1002/cbin.11780] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2021] [Revised: 01/12/2022] [Accepted: 02/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
Wilms' tumor (WT) is the most common pediatric renal malignancy. PDGFRβ belongs to the type III receptor tyrosine kinase family and is known to be involved in tumor metastasis and angiogenesis. Here, we studied the effect and underlying mechanism of PDGFRβ on Wilms' tumor G401 cells. Transwell assay and wound-healing assay were used to detect the effect of PDGFRβ on G401 cells invasion and migration. Western blot and immunofluorescence were used to detect the expression of EMT-related genes. The expression of PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway proteins was detected by western blot. The relationship between PDGFRβ and aerobic glycolysis was studied by assessing the expression of glycolysis-related enzymes detected by qRT-PCR and western blot. The activity of HK, PK and LDH was detected by corresponding enzyme activity kits. The concentration of lactic acid and glucose was detected by Lactic Acid Assay Kit and Glucose Assay Kit-glucose oxidase method separately. To investigate the mechanism of PDGFRβ in the development of Wilms' tumor, the changes of glucose and lactic acid were analyzed after blocking PI3K pathway, aerobic glycolysis or PDGFRβ. The key enzyme was screened by western blot and glucose metabolism experiment after HK2, PKM2 and PDK1 were inhibited. The results showed that PDGFRβ promoted the EMT process by modulating aerobic glycolysis through PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway in which PKM2 plays a key role. Therefore, our study of the mechanism of PDGFRβ in G401 cells provides a new target for the treatment of Wilms' tumor. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Application of High-Quality Nursing Intervention Based on Humanistic Care Combined with the Project Teaching Method in Patients with Acute Leukemia Undergoing Chemotherapy. JOURNAL OF HEALTHCARE ENGINEERING 2022; 2022:2972037. [PMID: 35186225 PMCID: PMC8849799 DOI: 10.1155/2022/2972037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2021] [Revised: 12/23/2021] [Accepted: 12/27/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Chemotherapy, the main treatment method of AL, can produce varying degrees of toxic and side effects on patients while killing tumor cells, resulting in decreased immune function of patients. We aim to explore the application effect of high-quality nursing intervention based on humanistic care combined with the project teaching method on patients with acute leukemia (AL) undergoing chemotherapy and its effect on their psychological state and satisfaction. 114 AL patients undergoing chemotherapy in the Department of Hematology of our hospital from July 2018 to July 2020 were chosen as the research objects and equally randomized into the experimental group (EG) and control group (CG). CG received routine nursing during chemotherapy, while EG received high-quality nursing intervention based on humanistic care combined with the project teaching method. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD) was adopted to evaluate the psychological state of patients in both groups after intervention, and the self-made nursing satisfaction questionnaire in our hospital was applied to evaluate the clinical nursing satisfaction. The HAD-A and HAD-D scores in the CG (P < 0.001) were significantly higher than the HAD-A and HAD-D scores in the EG after intervention. The scores of various coping styles in the EG after intervention were better than those in the CG (P < 0.05). Compared with the CG, the total nursing satisfaction after intervention was remarkably higher in the EG (P < 0.001), while the total incidence of adverse reactions during intervention was notably lower (P < 0.05). High-quality nursing intervention based on humanistic care combined with the project teaching method for AL patients undergoing chemotherapy can effectively relieve negative emotions, improve clinical nursing satisfaction, and reduce adverse reactions during chemotherapy.

Abstract
Simple Summary Roles of chloride-associated transporters have been raised in various cancers. Although complicated ion movements, crosstalk among channels/transporters through homeostatic electric regulation, difficulties with experimental implementation such as activity measurement of intracellular location were disturbed to verify the precise modulation of channels/transporters, recently defined cancerous function and communication with tumor microenvironment of chloride channels/transporters should be highlighted beyond classical homeostatic ion balance. Chloride-associated transporters as membrane-associated components of chloride movement, regulations of transmembrane member 16A, calcium-activated chloride channel regulators, transmembrane member 206, chloride intracellular channels, voltage-gated chloride channels, cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator, voltage-dependent anion channel, volume-regulated anion channel, and chloride-bicarbonate exchangers are discussed. Abstract The canonical roles of chloride channels and chloride-associated transporters have been physiologically determined; these roles include the maintenance of membrane potential, pH balance, and volume regulation and subsequent cellular functions such as autophagy and cellular proliferative processes. However, chloride channels/transporters also play other roles, beyond these classical function, in cancerous tissues and under specific conditions. Here, we focused on the chloride channel-associated cancers and present recent advances in understanding the environments of various types of cancer caused by the participation of many chloride channel or transporters families and discuss the challenges and potential targets for cancer treatment. The modulation of chloride channels/transporters might promote new aspect of cancer treatment strategies.

Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to evaluate the role of the chorioallantoic membrane model (CAM) in breast cancer research. METHODS The following is an overview of the use of the CAM in the field of breast cancer research based on a PubMed literature query. RESULTS The CAM is a 3D in vivo model that can be used for the analysis of tumor growth, biology and angiogenesis of primary tumor tissue or tumor cell lines. The CAM model has been used in breast cancer research for drug testing, migration assays and the evaluation of vascularization, amongst others. The CAM model is a valuable method that offers a better imitation of the physiological phenomena compared to 2D or 3D in vitro models. CONCLUSION The CAM model has primarily and successfully been utilized for the assessment of the tumor biology of established breast cancer cell lines. Further, the CAM model is a promising method to analyze patient derived primary tumor material and could be used as a "patient-specific 3D-tumor-therapy-model" for the cost-efficient evaluation of anti-cancer drugs to find the optimal treatment for breast cancer patients.

Abstract
Recurrent gene fusions comprise a class of viable genetic targets in solid tumors that have culminated several recent break-through cancer therapies. Their role in breast cancer, however, remains largely underappreciated due to the complexity of genomic rearrangements in breast malignancy. Just recently, we and others have identified several recurrent gene fusions in breast cancer with important clinical and biological implications. Examples of the most significant recurrent gene fusions to date include 1) ESR1-CCDC170 gene fusions in luminal B and endocrine resistant breast cancer that exert oncogenic function via modulating the HER2/HER3/SRC complex, 2) ESR1 exon 6 fusions in metastatic disease that drive estrogen-independent ER transcriptional activity, 3) BCL2L14-ETV6 fusions in a more aggressive form of the triple negative subtype that prime epithelial-mesenchymal transition and endow paclitaxel resistance, 4) the ETV6-NTRK3 fusion in secretory breast carcinoma that constitutively activates NTRK3 kinase, 5) the oncogenic MYB-NFIB fusion as a genetic driver underpinning adenoid cystic carcinomas of the breast that activates MYB pathway, and 6) the NOTCH/MAST kinase gene fusions that activate NOTCH and MAST signaling. Importantly, these fusions are enriched in more aggressive and lethal breast cancer presentations and appear to confer therapeutic resistance. Thus, these gene fusions could be utilized as genetic biomarkers to identify patients that require more intensive treatment and surveillance. In addition, kinase fusions are currently being evaluated in breast cancer clinical trials and on-going mechanistic investigation is exposing therapeutic vulnerabilities in patients with fusion positive disease.

Abstract
Long non‑coding RNAs can regulate the malignant tumor phenotype either as tumor suppressors or oncogenes. The present study investigated the underlying mechanism of LINC00238 in liver cancer. LINC00238 was identified as a downregulated molecule in The Cancer Genome Atlas liver hepatocellular carcinoma dataset through Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis software. Through gain‑ and loss‑of‑function experiments, LINC00238 was confirmed as a tumor suppressor that could not only decrease cell viability, migration and invasion in vitro, but also tumorigenesis and tumor metastasis in vivo. By cytoplasmic and nuclear RNA isolation, LINC00238 was confirmed to be predominantly cytoplasmic. Mechanistically, RNA pull‑down assays showed that LINC00238 sponged microRNA (miR)‑522 and then reversed the inhibitory effects on two downstream targets, secreted frizzled related protein 2 and dickkopf1. Collectively, LINC00238 was identified as a tumor suppressor that acts via sponging miR‑522 followed by silencing of downstream targets, suggesting that LINC00238 may have a key role in suppressing the malignant phenotype of liver cancer cells.

Abstract
Background Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) plays an important role in maintaining tissue homeostasis in the central nervous system. In 2012, the new CSF outflow pathway, “the glymphatic system,” was discovered. The glymphatic system mediates CSF and interstitial fluid exchange through the perivascular pathway, which eliminates harmful solutes in the brain parenchyma. In recent studies, the importance of the glymphatic system has been demonstrated in healthy and neurodegenerative disease brains. However, there is limited research on the function of the CSF in brain tumors. Intracranial hypertension caused by glioma can affect CSF drainage, which impacts the delivery of chemotherapy drugs via intrathecal injection. This study focused on changes in the glymphatic system and the role of aquaporin 4 (AQP4) in glymphatic transport in glioma. Methods In glioma-bearing rats, the effect of tracer infusion on the intracranial pressure (ICP) was evaluated using an ICP microsensor. In vivo magnetic resonance imaging and ex vivo bright field were used to monitor CSF tracer distribution after cisterna magna injection. AQP4 expression was quantitatively detected, and AQP4 in the astrocytes around the vessels was observed using immunofluorescence. Results The ICP of the tumor group was higher than that of the control group and the infusion rate of 2 µl/min did not affect ICP. In vivo and ex vivo imaging showed that the circulation of CSF tracers was significantly impaired in the tumor. High-power confocal microscopy revealed that, in the tumor, the surrounding of AQP4 by Evans Blue was decreased. In both tumor and contralateral areas, data indicated that the number of cluster designation 34 (CD34+) alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA−) veins were more than that of CD34+α-SMA+ arteries. Moreover, in the tumor area, AQP4 in the astrocytes around the vessels was decreased. Conclusions These findings indicate that the para-arterial influx of subarachnoid CSF is limited in glioma, especially in those with reduced levels of the fundamental protein AQP4. Our results provide evidence toward a potential new treatment method for glioma in the future.
