Abstract
Gastric cancer is the fifth most common malignancy worldwide having the fourth highest mortality rate. Energy metabolism is key and closely linked to tumour development. Most important in the reprogramming of cancer metabolism is the Warburg effect, which suggests that tumour cells will utilise glycolysis even with normal oxygen levels. Various molecules exert their effects by acting on enzymes in the glycolytic pathway, integral to glycolysis. Second, mitochondrial abnormalities in the reprogramming of energy metabolism, with consequences for glutamine metabolism, the tricarboxylic acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation, abnormal fatty acid oxidation and plasma lipoprotein metabolism are important components of tumour metabolism. Third, inflammation-induced oxidative stress is a danger signal for cancer. Fourth, patterns of signalling pathways involve all aspects of metabolic transduction, and many clinical drugs exert their anticancer effects through energy metabolic signalling. This review summarises research on energy metabolism genes, enzymes and proteins and transduction pathways associated with gastric cancer, and discusses the mechanisms affecting their effects on postoperative treatment resistance and prognoses of gastric cancer. We believe that an in-depth understanding of energy metabolism reprogramming will aid the diagnosis and subsequent treatment of gastric cancer.

Abstract
Intraductal carcinoma of the prostate (IDC-P) is a lethal prostate cancer subtype that generally coexists with invasive high-grade prostate acinar adenocarcinoma (PAC) but exhibits distinct biological features compared with concomitant adenocarcinoma. In this study, we performed whole-exome, RNA, and DNA-methylation sequencing of IDC-P, concurrent invasive high-grade PAC lesions, and adjacent normal prostate tissues isolated from 22 radical prostatectomy specimens. Three evolutionary patterns of concurrent IDC-P and PAC were identified: early divergent, late divergent, and clonally distant. In contrast to those with a late divergent evolutionary pattern, tumors with clonally distant and early divergent evolutionary patterns showed higher genomic, epigenomic, transcriptional, and pathologic heterogeneity between IDC-P and PAC. Compared with coexisting PAC, IDC-P displayed increased expression of adverse prognosis-associated genes. Survival analysis based on an independent cohort of 505 patients with metastatic prostate cancer revealed that IDC-P carriers with lower risk International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) grade 1-4 adenocarcinoma displayed a castration-resistant free survival as poor as those with the highest risk ISUP grade 5 tumors that lacked concurrent IDC-P. Furthermore, IDC-P exhibited robust cell-cycle progression and androgen receptor activities, characterized by an enrichment of cellular proliferation-associated master regulators and genes involved in intratumoral androgen biosynthesis. Overall, this study provides a molecular groundwork for the aggressive behavior of IDC-P and could help identify potential strategies to improve treatment of IDC-P. SIGNIFICANCE The genomic, transcriptomic, and epigenomic characterization of concurrent intraductal carcinoma and adenocarcinoma of the prostate deepens the biological understanding of this lethal disease and provides a genetic basis for developing targeted therapies.

Abstract
Recently, studies have shown that immune checkpoint-related genes (ICGs) are instrumental in maintaining immune homeostasis and can be regarded as potential therapeutic targets. However, the prognostic applications of ICGs require further elucidation in low-grade glioma (LGG) cases. In the present study, a unique prognostic gene signature in LGG has been identified and validated as well based on ICGs as a means of facilitating clinical decision-making. The RNA-seq data as well as corresponding clinical data of LGG samples have been retrieved utilizing the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases. ICG-defined non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) clustering was performed to categorize patients with LGG into two molecular subtypes with different prognoses, clinical traits, and immune microenvironments. In the TCGA database, a signature integrating 8 genes has been developed utilizing the LASSO Cox method and validated in the GEO database. The signature developed is superior to other well-recognized signatures in terms of predicting the survival probability of patients with LGG. This 8-gene signature was then subsequently applied to categorize patients into high- and low-risk groups, and differences between them in terms of gene alteration frequency were observed. There were remarkable variations in IDH1 (91% and 64%) across low-as well as high-risk groups. Additionally, various analyses like function enrichment, tumor immune microenvironment, and chemotherapy drug sensitivity revealed significant variations across high- and low-risk populations. Overall, this 8-gene signature may function as a useful tool for prognosis and immunotherapy outcome predictions among LGG patients.

Abstract
Reprogramming of energy metabolism is one of the basic characteristics of cancer and has been proved to be an important cancer treatment strategy. Isocitrate dehydrogenases (IDHs) are a class of key proteins in energy metabolism, including IDH1, IDH2, and IDH3, which are involved in the oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate to yield α-ketoglutarate (α-KG). Mutants of IDH1 or IDH2 can produce d-2-hydroxyglutarate (D-2HG) with α-KG as the substrate, and then mediate the occurrence and development of cancer. At present, no IDH3 mutation has been reported. The results of pan-cancer research showed that IDH1 has a higher mutation frequency and involves more cancer types than IDH2, implying IDH1 as a promising anti-cancer target. Therefore, in this review, we summarized the regulatory mechanisms of IDH1 on cancer from four aspects: metabolic reprogramming, epigenetics, immune microenvironment, and phenotypic changes, which will provide guidance for the understanding of IDH1 and exploring leading-edge targeted treatment strategies. In addition, we also reviewed available IDH1 inhibitors so far. The detailed clinical trial results and diverse structures of preclinical candidates illustrated here will provide a deep insight into the research for the treatment of IDH1-related cancers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2) mutations have been the hotspots in recent anticancer studies, the impact of wild-type IDH2 on cancer cell growth and metabolic alterations is still elusive. METHODS IDH2 expression in CRC tissues was evaluated by immunohistochemistry, and the correlation between the expression level and the patient's survival rate was analyzed. Cell functional assays included CCK8 and colony formation for cell proliferation in vitro and ectopic xenograft as in vivo experimental model for tumor progression. A targeted metabolomic procedure was performed by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry to profile the metabolites from glycolysis and tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. Mitochondrial function was assessed by measuring cellular oxygen consumption (OCR) and mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨ). Confocal microscope analysis and Western blotting were applied to detect the expression of GLUT1 and NF-κB signaling. O-GlcNAcylation and the interaction of IDH2 with OGT were confirmed by co-immunoprecipitation, followed by Western blotting analysis. RESULTS IDH2 protein was highly expressed in CRC tissues, and correlated with poor survival of CRC patients. Wild-type IDH2 promoted CRC cell growth in vitro and tumor progression in xenograft mice. Overexpression of wild-type IDH2 significantly increased glycolysis and TCA cycle metabolites, the ratios of NADH/NAD+ and ATP/ADP, OCR and mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨ) in CRC cells. Furthermore, α-KG activated NF-κB signaling to promote glucose uptake by upregulating GLUT1. Interesting, O-GlcNAcylation enhanced the protein half-time of IDH2 by inhibiting ubiquitin-mediated proteasome degradation. The O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT)-IDH2 axis promoted CRC progression. CONCLUSION Wild-type IDH2 reprogrammed glucose metabolism and bioenergetic production via the NF-κB signaling pathway to promote CRC development and progression. O-GlcNAcylation of IDH2 elevated the stability of IDH2 protein. And the axis of OGT-IDH2 played an essential promotive role in tumor progression, suggesting a novel potential therapeutic strategy in CRC treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer. NSCLC accounts for 84% of all lung cancer cases. In recent years, advances in pathway understanding, methods for discovering novel genetic biomarkers, and new drugs designed to inhibit the signaling cascades have enabled clinicians to personalize therapy for NSCLC. OBJECTIVES The primary aim of this study is to identify the genes associated with NSCLC that harbor pathogenic variants that could be causative for NSCLC. The second aim is to investigate their roles in different pathways that lead to NSCLC. METHODS We examined exome-sequencing datasets from 54 NSCLC patients to characterize the variants associated with NSCLC. RESULTS Our findings revealed that 17 variants in 14 genes were considered highly pathogenic, including CDKN2A, ERBB2, FOXP1, IDH1, JAK3, KMT2D, K-Ras, MSH3, MSH6, POLE, RNF43, TCF7L2, TP53, and TSC1. Gene set enrichment analysis revealed the involvement of transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine kinase activity, protein binding, ATP binding, phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase, and Ras guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity. Pathway analysis of these genes yielded different cancer-related pathways, including colorectal, prostate, endometrial, pancreatic, PI3K-Akt signaling pathways, and signaling pathways regulating pluripotency of stem cells. Module 1 from protein-protein interactions (PPIs) identified genes that harbor pathogenic SNPs. Three of the most deleterious SNPs are ERBB2 (rs1196929947), K-Ras (rs121913529), and POLE (rs751425952). Interestingly, one patient has a pathogenic K-Ras variant (rs121913529) co-occurred with the missense variant (rs752054698) inTSC1 gene. CONCLUSION This study maps highly pathogenic variants associated with NSCLC and investigates their contributions to the pathogenesis of NSCLC. This study sheds light on the potential applications of precision medicine in patients with NSCLC.

Abstract
Since the initial discovery of recurrent isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) mutations at Arg132 in glioma, IDH1 hotspot mutations have been identified in cholangiocarcinoma, chondrosarcoma, leukemia, and various other types of cancer of sporadic incidence. Studies in glioma and leukemia have helped promote the theory that IDH1 mutations are an oncogenic event that drives tumorigenesis in general. Through bioinformatic analysis of more than 45,000 human pan-cancer samples from three independent datasets, we show here that IDH1 mutations are rare events in human cancer but are exclusively prevalent in WHO grade II and grade III (lower-grade) glioma. Interestingly, alterations in the tumor-suppressor gene TP53 (tumor protein p53) co-occur significantly with IDH1 mutations and show a tendency of exclusivity to IDH2 mutations. The co-occurrence of IDH1 mutation and TP53 alteration is widespread in glioma, particularly in those harboring IDH1R132H, IDH1R132G, and IDH1R132S, whereas co-occurrence of IDH1R132C and TP53 alteration can be found sporadically in other cancer types. In keeping with the importance of p53 in tumor suppression, TP53 status is an independent predictor of overall survival irrespective of histological and molecular subgroups in lower-grade glioma. Together, these results indicate tissue specificity of IDH1 hotspot mutation and TP53 alteration and the importance of TP53 status as a predictor of patient outcome in lower-grade glioma.
