Abstract
Nectin-4 is a Ca2+-independent immunoglobulin-like protein that exhibits significantly elevated expression in malignant tumors while maintaining extremely low levels in healthy adult tissues. In recent years, overexpression of Nectin-4 has been implicated in tumor occurrence and development of various cancers, including breast cancer, urothelial cancer, and lung cancer. In 2019, the Food and Drug Administration approved enfortumab vedotin, the first antibody-drug conjugate targeting Nectin-4, for the treatment of urothelial carcinoma. This has emphasized the value of Nectin-4 in tumor targeted therapy and promoted the implementation of more clinical trials of enfortumab vedotin. In addition, many new drugs targeting Nectin-4 for the treatment of malignant tumors have entered clinical trials, with the aim of exploring potential new indications. However, the exact mechanisms by which Nectin-4 affects tumorigenesis and progression are still unclear, and the emergence of drug resistance and treatment-related adverse reactions poses challenges. This article reviews the diagnostic potential, prognostic significance, and molecular role of Nectin-4 in tumors, with a focus on clinical trials in the field of Nectin-4-related tumor treatment and the development of new drugs targeting Nectin-4.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Antibody drug conjugates represent a promising class of antineoplastic agents comprised of a monoclonal antibody linked to a potent cytotoxic payload for targeted delivery of chemotherapy to tumors. Various antibody drug conjugates have demonstrated impressive efficacy in patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma in clinical trials, leading to two FDA approved therapies and several other agents and combinations in clinical development. MATERIALS AND METHODS A comprehensive systematic review was undertaken utilizing the principles of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. Queried databases included Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid Embase, Web of Science Core Collection and Cochrane CENTRAL Trials. The search sought to identify prospective therapeutic clinical trials in humans with metastatic urothelial carcinoma with a single-arm or randomized controlled trial design investigating antibody drug conjugate-containing regimens. RESULTS The literature search yielded 4,929 non-duplicated articles, of which 30 manuscripts and conference abstracts were included, which derived from 15 clinical trials including 19 separate cohorts with efficacy outcome results. Eleven trials investigated ADC monotherapy, while two investigated combination regimens, and the remaining two studies were mixed. Five unique ADC targets were represented including Nectin-4, Trop-2, HER2, Tissue Factor, and SLITRK6. Twelve clinical trial cohorts required prior treatment (63%). Objective response rate was reported for all studies and ranged from 27-52% for ADC monotherapies and 34-75% for ADC plus anti-PD-1 agents. Time to event outcome reporting was highly variable. CONCLUSION In addition to enfortumab vedotin and sacituzumab govitecan, various HER2-targeted antibody drug conjugates and ADC-anti-PD-1 combination regimens have demonstrated efficacy in clinical trials and are poised for clinical advancement.

Expression of PVRL4, a molecular target for cancer treatment, is transcriptionally regulated by FOS. Oncol Rep 2024; 51:17. [PMID: 38063270 PMCID: PMC10739986 DOI: 10.3892/or.2023.8676] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2023] [Accepted: 10/04/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
PVRL4 (or nectin‑4) is a promising therapeutic target since its upregulated expression is found in a wide range of human cancer types. Enfortumab vedotin, an antibody‑drug conjugate targeting PVRL4, is clinically used for the treatment of urothelial bladder cancer. In addition, rMV‑SLAMblind, a genetically engineered oncolytic measles virus, can infect cancer cells and induce apoptosis through interaction with PVRL4. Although PVRL4 transcript levels are elevated in breast, lung and ovarian cancer, the mechanisms of its upregulation have not yet been uncovered. To clarify the regulatory mechanisms of elevated PVRL4 expression in breast cancer cells, Assay for Transposase‑Accessible Chromatin‑sequencing and chromatin immunoprecipitation‑sequencing (ChIP‑seq) data were used to search for its regulatory regions. Using breast cancer cells, an enhancer region was ultimately identified. Additional analyses, including ChIP and reporter assays, demonstrated that FOS interacted with the PVRL4 enhancer region, and that alterations of the FOS‑binding motifs in the enhancer region decreased reporter activity. Consistent with these data, exogenous expression of FOS enhanced the reporter activity and PVRL4 expression in breast cancer cells. Furthermore, RNA‑seq analysis using breast cancer cells treated with PVRL4 small interfering RNA revealed its possible involvement in the cytokine response and immune system. These data suggested that FOS was involved, at least partly, in the regulation of PVRL4 expression in breast cancer cells, and that elevated PVRL4 expression may regulate the response of cancer cells to cytokines and the immune system.

Abstract
The incidence of breast cancer in women has increased year by year, becoming one of the most common malignant tumors in females worldwide. Most patients can be treated with surgery and endocrine drugs, but there are still some patients who lack effective treatment, such as triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Nectin-4, a protein encoded by poliovirus receptor-associated protein 4, is a Ca2+-independent immunoglobulin-like protein. It is mainly involved in the adhesion between cells. In recent years, studies have found that Nectin-4 is overexpressed in breast cancer and several other malignancies. Otherwise, several monoclonal antibodies and inhibitors targeting Nectin-4 have shown prosperous outcomes, so Nectin-4 has great potential to be a therapeutic target for breast cancer. The present review systematically describes the significance of Nectin-4 in each aspect of breast cancer, as well as the molecular mechanisms of these aspects mediated by Nectin-4. We further highlight ongoing or proposed therapeutic strategies for breast cancer specific to Nectin-4.

Abstract
Lactation initiation refers to a functional change in the mammary organ from a non-lactating state to a lactating state, and a series of cytological changes in the mammary epithelium from a non-secreting state to a secreting state. Like the development of the mammary gland, it is regulated by many factors (including hormones, cytokines, signaling molecules, and proteases). In most non-pregnant animals, a certain degree of lactation also occurs after exposure to specific stimuli, promoting the development of their mammary glands. These specific stimuli can be divided into two categories: before and after parturition. The former inhibits lactation and decreases activity, and the latter promotes lactation and increases activity. Here we present a review of recent progress in research on the key factors of lactation initiation to provide a powerful rationale for the study of the lactation initiation process and mammary gland development.

Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:2865. [PMID: 37345201 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15102865] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2023] [Revised: 05/11/2023] [Accepted: 05/19/2023] [Indexed: 06/23/2023] Open
Abstract
The adhesion molecule Nectin-4 is a new potential therapeutic target for different types of cancer; however, little is known about its diagnosis significance in endometrial cancer (EC). We found that Nectin-4 expression was significantly higher in EC tissues than in nonadjacent normal tissue. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve value of 0.922 indicated good diagnostic accuracy for Nectin-4 expression in EC. Furthermore, Nectin-4 expression was associated with DNA mismatch repair (MMR) protein deficiency. Notably, the high Nectin-4 expression group of patients with MSH2/6-deficient EC had shorter progression-free survival than that of the low Nectin-4 expression group. The number of lymphovascular space invasion-positive patients in groups with MMR deficiency and high Nectin-4 expression was also increased compared with that in the low Nectin-4 expression group. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that alteration in Nectin-4 and MMR genes is associated with Nectin-4 expression in EC. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to show that Nectin-4 expression may be a potential biomarker for EC diagnosis and that high Nectin-4 expression in MMR-deficient patients with EC can predict short progression-free survival, thus providing clues to identify patients for adjuvant therapy.

Abstract
The suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) proteins family comprising eight proteins (SOCS1-7 and cytokine-inducible SH2-containing (CIS)) are classical feedback inhibitors of cytokine signaling. Although the biological role of CIS and SOCS1-3 have been extensively studied, the biological functions of SOCS4-7 remain unclear. Here, we elucidated the molecular characteristics, expression profile, immune response, anti-viral potential, and effect on cell proliferation of Phsocs5b, a member of the SOCS protein family from redlip mullet (Planiliza haematocheilus); phsocs5b comprised 1695 nucleotides. It was 564 amino acids long with a molecular weight of 62.3 kDa and a theoretical isoelectric point of 8.95. Like SOCS4-7 proteins, Phsocs5b comprised an SH2 domain, SOCS box domain, and a long N-terminal. SH2 domain is highly identical to its orthologs in other vertebrates. Phsocs5b, highly expressed in the brain tissue, was localized in the cytoplasm. Temporal changes in phsocs5b expression were observed following immune stimulation with polyinosinic: polycytidylic acid, lipopolysaccharide, and Lactococcus garvieae. In FHM cells, Phsocs5b overexpression suppressed the viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) infection and epidermal growth factor receptor (egfr) expression but increased the mRNA levels of pi3k, akt, pro-inflammatory cytokines (il1β and il8), and anti-viral genes (isg15 and ifn). Overall, our findings suggest that Phsocs5b attenuates VHSV infection, either by hindering the cell entry via degradation of Egfr, enhancing pro-inflammatory cytokines and anti-viral factor production, or both. The results also indicated that Phsocs5b could directly activate Pi3k/Akt pathway by itself, thus enhancing the proliferation and migration of cells. Taken together, Phsocs5b may be considered a potential therapeutic target to enhance immune responses while positively regulating the proliferation and migration of cells.

Abstract
Objective The purpose of this study was to identify potential therapeutic targets by examining the hub genes contributing to progression of intracranial aneurysm (IA) in patients with hypertension. Methods The bulk RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) datasets of hypertension and IA were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo) database. These data were then used to calculate disease-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs) at the individual level. An scRNA-seq dataset of patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) was used to analyze monocyte/macrophage-related DEGs. On the basis of the DEG data related to monocytes and macrophages, a TF-genes network has been developed. Hub genes and core sub-networks have also been identified. Furthermore, the key genes have been validated in an external cohort. Results From combined monocyte and macrophage-derived DEGs from abdominal aortic aneurysms, five hub DEGs were detected, including IFI30, SERPINE1, HMOX1, IL24, and RUNX1. A total of 57 genes were found in the IA bulk RNA-seq dataset. A support vector machine-recursive feature elimination algorithm (SVM-RFE) was applied to further screen the seven genes (RPS4Y1, DDX3Y, RUNX1, CLEC10A, PLAC8, SLA, and LILRB3). RUNX1 was the hub gene that regulated NFKB1 in the monocyte/macrophage-related network. And RUNX1 is implicated in IA progression by regulating hematopoietic stem cell differentiation and abnormal platelet production, according to gene set enrichment analysis. Conclusion Among patients with hypertension, RUNX1 in monocytes and macrophages was associated with a higher risk of IA through its regulation of NFKB1.

Abstract
Nectins are immunoglobulin-like cell adhesion molecules constituting a family with four members, nectin-1, nectin-2, nectin-3, and nectin-4. In the brain, nectin-2 as well as nectin-1 and nectin-3 are expressed whereas nectin-4 is hardly expressed. In the nervous system, physiological functions of nectin-1 and nectin-3, such as synapse formation, mossy fiber trajectory regulation, interneurite affinity, contextual fear memory formation, and stress-related mental disorders, have been revealed. Nectin-2 is ubiquitously expressed in non-neuronal tissues and various nectin-2 functions in non-nervous systems have been extensively investigated, but nectin-2 functions in the brain have not been revealed until recently. Recent findings have revealed that nectin-2 is expressed in the specific areas of the brain and plays important roles, such as homeostasis of astrocytes and neurons and the formation of synapses. Moreover, a single nucleotide polymorphism in the human NECTIN2 gene is associated with Alzheimer's disease. We here summarize recent progress in our understanding of nectin-2 functions in the brain.

Abstract
Tumour cells achieve maximum survival by modifying cellular machineries associated with processes such as cell division, migration, survival, and apoptosis, resulting in genetically complex and heterogeneous populations. While nectin and nectin-like cell adhesion molecules control development and maintenance of multicellular organisation in higher vertebrates by mediating cell-cell adhesion and related signalling processes, recent studies indicate that they also critically regulate growth and development of different types of cancers. In this review, we detail current knowledge about the role of nectin family members in various tumours. Furthermore, we also analyse the seemingly opposing roles of some members of nectin family in tumour-associated pathways, as they function as both tumour suppressors and oncogenes. Understanding this functional duality of nectin family in tumours will further our knowledge of molecular mechanisms regulating tumour development and progression, and contribute to the advancement of tumour diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
Nectin-4, upregulated in various cancer cells, cis-interacts with ErbB2 and its trastuzumab-resistant splice variants, p95-ErbB2 and ErbB2∆Ex16, enhancing DNA synthesis through the PI3K-AKT signaling in human breast cancer T47D cells in an adherent culture. We found here that nectin-4 and p95-ErbB2, but not nectin-4 and either ErbB2 or ErbB2∆Ex16, cooperatively enhanced SOX2 gene expression and cell proliferation in a suspension culture. This enhancement of T47D cell proliferation in a suspension culture by nectin-4 and p95-ErbB2 was dependent on the SOX2 gene expression. In T47D cells, nectin-4 and any one of p95-ErbB2, ErbB2, or ErbB2∆Ex16 cooperatively activated the PI3K-AKT signaling, known to induce the SOX2 gene expression, to similar extents. However, only a combination of nectin-4 and p95-ErbB2, but not that of nectin-4 and either ErbB2 or ErbB2∆Ex16, cooperatively enhanced the SOX2 gene expression. Detailed studies revealed that only nectin-4 and p95-ErbB2 cooperatively activated the Hippo signaling. YAP inhibited the SOX2 gene expression in this cell line and thus the MST1/2-LATS1/2 signaling-mediated YAP inactivation increased the SOX2 gene expression. These results indicate that only the combination of nectin-4 and p95-ErbB2, but not that of nectin-4 and either ErbB2 or ErbB2∆Ex16, cooperatively regulates the Hippo signaling-dependent SOX2 gene expression, enhancing anchorage-independent T47D cell proliferation.

Abstract
Bladder cancer is the tenth most common cancer type worldwide. Urothelial carcinoma is the most common type of bladder cancer and accounts for 90% of bladder cancer cases in the USA and Europe. Novel approaches are needed to improve patient outcomes. Nectin-4 is a tumour-associated antigen found on the surface of most urothelial carcinoma cells. In the antibody-drug conjugate enfortumab vedotin, human anti-nectin-4 antibody is linked to the cytotoxic microtubule-disrupting agent monomethyl auristatin E. In ongoing phase I, II and III clinical trials, enfortumab vedotin has been evaluated as a monotherapy and in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor and/or chemotherapy in locally advanced and metastatic urothelial carcinoma. Encouraging data from the phase II study resulted in the FDA granting accelerated approval for enfortumab vedotin in December 2019 for patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma who were previously treated with platinum and a checkpoint inhibitor therapy. Moreover, data from a phase I study led to the FDA granting breakthrough therapy designation to enfortumab vedotin combined with pembrolizumab as a first-line treatment in February 2020 for cisplatin-ineligible patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma. Results of ongoing and future combination studies of enfortumab vedotin with immunotherapy and other novel agents are eagerly awaited.

Abstract
Background Dysfunction of microRNAs (miRNAs) is a major cause of aberrant expression of inflammatory cytokines and contributes to macrophage polarization. Proinflammatory M1 macrophages promote T helper (Th) 1 responses and show tumoricidal activity, whereas M2 macrophages display regulatory functions in tissue repair and remodeling and promote Th2 immune responses. Previous studies have shown that miRNA let-7 is associated with cellular differentiation and that the expression of let-7b-5p is significantly augmented in M2 macrophages. However, the mechanism by which let-7b-5p regulates macrophage differentiation in prostate cancer (PCa) remains largely unknown. Methods Human macrophages were induced by blood monocytes from healthy male donors, and M1 macrophages were polarized by stimulating them overnight with 100 ng/ml of lipopolysaccharides and 100 ng/ml of IFN-γ. Conditioned medium from PC-3 cells was used to induce prostatic macrophages (M-CMs) in vitro, and we then transfected let-7b-5p mimics or inhibitors into M1 and M-CMs for 72 h. The expression of cluster of differentiation 206 (CD206) in each group was detected with the High-Throughput Connotation of Imaging System. We used quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) to examine the expression of the inflammatory cytokines IL-10, IL-12, IL-13, TNF-alpha, and let-7b in macrophages. SOCS1 protein levels were evaluated by ELISA, and the phosphorylation difference in STAT family member proteins was analyzed using CST signal-pathway chip. Phagocytosis by macrophages and the effect of macrophages on the proliferation of prostate cancer PC-3 cells were evaluated with phagocytosis assay or the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and colony formation assay. The relationship between SOCS1 and let-7b-5p was confirmed with a dual-luciferase reporter. Results The expression of cluster of differentiation 206 (CD206, a M2-like macrophage surface molecule) was significantly increased in M1 macrophages treated with let-7b-5p mimics, while CD206 expression was decreased in M-CMs treated with let-7b-5p inhibitors. Overexpression or knockdown of let-7b-5p significantly affected the expression of inflammatory factors in macrophages-including interleukin 10 (IL-10), IL-12, IL-13, and tumor necrosis factor alpha. Let-7b-5p downregulated the expression of suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1) and increased the phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1), STAT3, and STAT5a proteins in M-CMs and M1 macrophages with let-7b-5p mimics relative to the other groups. In addition, with the elevated expression of let-7b-5p, the phagocytosis by macrophages showed a commensurate and significant decrease. As a result, M-CMs treated with let-7b-5p inhibitors reduced the proliferation of PC-3 PCa cells. Conclusions Collectively, these data indicated that let-7b-5p may regulate M2 polarization through the SOCS1/STAT pathway and that reversal of M2 differentiation by let-7b-5p inhibitors enhanced macrophage phagocytosis, ultimately inhibiting the proliferation of PCa cells.

Abstract
The formation of 3D multicellular spheroids in the ascites fluid of ovarian cancer patients is an understudied component of the disease progression. Spheroids are less sensitive to chemotherapy, in part due to the protection afforded by their structure, but also due to their slower proliferation rate. Previous studies suggest that the cell adhesion molecule Nectin-4 plays a key role in the formation of ovarian cancer spheroids. In this study, we further examined the role of Nectin-4 at early time points in spheroid formation using real-time digital photography. Human NIH:OVCAR5 ovarian cancer cells formed aggregates within 8 h, which further contracted into compact spheroids over 24 h. In contrast, Nectin-4 knockdown cells did not form tightly compacted spheroids. Synthetic peptides derived from Nectin-4 were tested for their ability to alter spheroid formation in two ovarian cancer cell lines. Nectin-4 peptide 10 (N4-P10) had an immediate effect on disrupting ovarian cancer spheroid formation, which continued for over 24 h, while a scrambled version of the peptide had no effect. N4-P10 inhibited spheroid formation in a concentration-dependent manner and was not cytotoxic; suggesting that N4-P10 treatment could maintain the cancer cells as single cells which may be more sensitive to chemotherapy.

Abstract
Nectin-4 cell adhesion molecule and ErbB2 tyrosine kinase receptor are upregulated in many cancers, including breast cancer, and promote cancer cell proliferation and metastasis. Using human breast cancer cell lines T47D and SUM190-PT, in which both nectin-4 and ErbB2 were upregulated, we showed here that nectin-4 cis-interacted with ErB2 and enhanced its dimerization and activation, followed by the activation of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase-AKT signalling pathway for DNA synthesis. The third immunoglobulin-like domain of nectin-4 cis-interacted with domain IV of ErbB2. This region differs from the trastuzumab-interacting region but is included in the trastuzumab-resistant splice variants of ErbB2, p95-ErbB2 and ErbB2ΔEx16. Nectin-4 also cis-interacted with these trastuzumab-resistant splice variants and enhanced the activation of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase-AKT signalling pathway for DNA synthesis. In addition, nectin-4 enhanced the activation of the p95-ErbB2-induced JAK-STAT3 signalling pathway, but not the ErbB2- or ErbB2ΔEx16-induced JAK-STAT3 signalling pathway. These results indicate that nectin-4 cis-interacts with ErbB2 and its trastuzumab-resistant splice variants and enhances the activation of these receptors and downstream signalling pathways in a novel mechanism.

Abstract
Shrimps, which mainly rely on their innate immune system to response to infectious pathogens, have clottable proteins as an important component of this system. While transglutaminases (TGase) are found in Litopenaeus vannamei and constitute part of the coagulation system, the specific immune-related roles played by its functional domains in the immunoregulation of shrimp has not been well understood. In the present study, we report that the Ig-like domain of L. vannamei transglutaminase (TGase-C) is the main immune-related domain among the three functional domains, as it had higher bacterial agglutinative activity against Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Streptococcus iniae. Using Co-immunoprecipitation and LC-MS/MS analysis, TGase-C was shown to interact with 474 proteins, of which 52 proteins were annotated to L. vannamei. More than half of the L. vannamei annotated proteins have immune-related functions, including apoptosis. Further analysis using pull-down assay revealed that TGase-C interacted with CAP-3 (a homologue of caspase 3). In addition, siRNA-mediated knockdown of LvTGase significantly (p < 0.01) increased the expression level of LvCAP-3 coupled with a significant (p < 0.01) increase in caspase 3/7 activity, suggesting that probably LvTGase participates in shrimp immune response by modulating the activity of LvCAP-3. These findings thus suggest the Ig-like functional domain of L. vannamei's transglutaminase is the domain that is involved in immunoregulation in shrimp.

Abstract
The concept of macrophage polarization is defined in terms of macrophage phenotypic heterogeneity and functional diversity. Cytokines signals are thought to be required for the polarization of macrophage populations toward different phenotypes at different stages in development, homeostasis and disease. The suppressors of cytokine signaling family of proteins contribute to the magnitude and duration of cytokines signaling, which ultimately control the subtle adjustment of the balance between divergent macrophage phenotypes. This review highlights the specific roles and mechanisms of various cytokines family and their negative regulators link to the macrophage polarization programs. Eventually, breakthrough in the identification of these molecules will provide the novel therapeutic approaches for a host of diseases by targeting macrophage phenotypic shift.
