Abstract
TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL or Apo2 or TNFSF10) belongs to the TNF superfamily. When bound to its agonistic receptors, TRAIL can induce apoptosis in tumour cells, while sparing healthy cells. Over the last three decades, this tumour selectivity has prompted many studies aiming at evaluating the anti-tumoral potential of TRAIL or its derivatives. Although most of these attempts have failed, so far, novel formulations are still being evaluated. However, emerging evidence indicates that TRAIL can also trigger a non-canonical signal transduction pathway that is likely to be detrimental for its use in oncology. Likewise, an increasing number of studies suggest that in some circumstances TRAIL can induce, via Death receptor 5 (DR5), tumour cell motility, potentially leading to and contributing to tumour metastasis. While the pro-apoptotic signal transduction machinery of TRAIL is well known from a mechanistic point of view, that of the non-canonical pathway is less understood. In this study, we the current state of knowledge of TRAIL non-canonical signalling.

Wang S, Li Z, Zhou Z, Kang M. Causal analysis of gastroesophageal reflux disease and esophageal cancer. Medicine (Baltimore) 2024; 103:e37433.

Abstract
Patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are more likely to develop esophageal cancer (EC). However, a causal relationship between the 2 has been difficult to determine. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the impact of GERD on EC using the Mendelian randomization (MR) method. The causal association between GERD and EC was analyzed based on 2 publicly available genetic summary datasets for the GERD cohort (129,080 cases vs 473,524 controls) and the EC cohort (740 cases vs 372,016 controls). The causal inference was mainly evaluated by the inverse variance weighted MR. The MR-Egger regression, MR Pleiotropy Residual Sum and Outlier test, and leave-one-out test were used to confirm the sensitivity of the MR results. Possible interfering factors were excluded by multivariate MR (MVMR) analysis. We used 73 single nucleotide polymorphisms as instrumental variables. GERD was associated with increasing EC risk (odds ratio [OR], 1.001; 95% confidence interval, 1.001-1.002; P < .001), which was identified using the inverse variance weighted method. The sensitivity analysis also demonstrated similar results with the causal explanation, and major bias in genetic pleiotropy was not identified (intercept, 0.001; standard error, 0.001; P = .418). The multivariate MR analysis demonstrated the effect of GERD on EC even after excluding possible mediating factors (OR, 1.003; 95% confidence interval, 1.001-1.005; P = .012). This study confirmed that GERD has a causal effect on EC. Therefore, interventional measures are recommended to prevent EC.

Abstract
Background: Esophageal cancer is one of the most common and deadliest cancers in the world, particularly esophageal adenocarcinoma. There has never been a special drug to treat it.Purpose: This article summarizes the work that we have done in our laboratory about the role of CCN1 in esophageal cancer and gives a new perspective of CCN1 biology.Research Design: This is a review article. Study Sample: The work was done using validated cell lines and fixed human tissue slides.Data Collection and Analysis: This is a review article, therefore, no data collection or analysis was involved.Results: CCN1 is a matricellular protein supporting adhesion, migration, and survival in normal cells, but in the esophageal cancer cells, it induces TRAIL-mediated apoptosis. CCN1 promotes TRAIL and its death receptor expression but downregulates the decoy receptors and survivin in a p53-dependant manner. It was thought that CCN1 relies on TNF to induce apoptosis, but our study found that these two molecules antagonize each other. CCN1 promotes TNFR1 cleavage and uses the soluble product to block TNF signaling, while TNF upregulates PGLYRP1 to overcome this obstacle because PGLYRP1 is a secreted protein that competes with TNF for TNFR1 binding. As a result, when CCN1 and TNF are present together in the vicinity of esophageal tumors, they cancel each other out.Conclusions: Based on our laboratory study, CCN1 has much potential to be a candidate for the treatment of esophageal cancer.

Abstract
DNA mutation is a common event in the human body, but in most situations, it is fixed right away by the DNA damage response program. In case the damage is too severe to repair, the programmed cell death system will be activated to get rid of the cell. However, if the damage affects some critical components of this system, the genetic scars are kept and multiply through mitosis, possibly leading to cancer someday. There are many forms of programmed cell death, but apoptosis and necroptosis represent the default and backup strategy, respectively, in the maintenance of optimal cell population as well as in cancer prevention. For the same reason, the ideal approach for cancer treatment is to induce apoptosis in the cancer cells because it proceeds 20 times faster than tumor cell proliferation and leaves no mess behind. Induction of necroptosis can be the second choice in case apoptosis becomes hard to achieve, however, necroptosis finishes the job at a cost-inflammation.
