Abstract
Tumors of the urinary system, such as prostate cancer, bladder cancer, and renal cell carcinoma, are among the most prevalent types of tumors. They often remain asymptomatic in their early stages, with some patients experiencing recurrence or metastasis post-surgery, leading to disease progression. Lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) plays a crucial role in the glycolysis pathway and is closely associated with anaerobic glycolysis in urinary system tumors. Therefore, a comprehensive investigation into the intricate mechanism of LDHA in these tumors can establish a theoretical foundation for early diagnosis and advanced treatment. This review consolidates the current research and applications of LDHA in urinary system tumors, with the aim of providing researchers with a distinct perspective.

Cell Adh Migr 2023; 17:1-14. [PMID: 37749865 PMCID: PMC10524799 DOI: 10.1080/19336918.2023.2260644] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2022] [Accepted: 04/18/2023] [Indexed: 09/27/2023] Open
Abstract
The LMNA gene encoding lamin A/C is amplified in some clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) samples. Our data showed that depletion of the tumor suppressor PBRM1 can upregulate lamin A/C levels, and lamin A/C could interact with PBRM1. However, the role of lamin A/C in ccRCC is not yet fully understood. Our functional assays showed that although the proliferation ability was slightly impaired after LMNA depletion, the migration and invasion of ccRCC cells were significantly inhibited. This suppression was accompanied by a reduction in MMP2, MMP9, AKT/p-AKT, and Wnt/β-catenin protein levels. Our data therefore suggest that lamin A/C, as an interaction partner of the tumor suppressor PBRM1, plays a crucial role in tumor invasion and metastasis in ccRCC.

Glycolysis-related biomarker TCIRG1 participates in regulation of renal cell carcinoma progression and tumor immune microenvironment by affecting aerobic glycolysis and AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. Cancer Cell Int 2023; 23:186. [PMID: 37649034 PMCID: PMC10468907 DOI: 10.1186/s12935-023-03019-0] [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: 04/21/2023] [Accepted: 08/06/2023] [Indexed: 09/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a hypermetabolic disease. Abnormal up-regulation of glycolytic signaling promotes tumor growth, and glycolytic metabolism is closely related to immunotherapy of renal cancer. The aim of the present study was to determine whether and how the glycolysis-related biomarker TCIRG1 affects aerobic glycolysis, the tumor microenvironment (TME) and malignant progression of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). METHODS Based on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA, n = 533) and the glycolysis-related gene set from MSigDB, we identified the glycolysis-related gene TCIRG1 by bioinformatics analysis, analyzed its immunological properties in ccRCC and observed how it affected the biological function and glycolytic metabolism using online databases such as TIMER 2.0, UALCAN, LinkedOmics and in vitro experiments. RESULTS It was found that the expression of TCIRG1, was significantly increased in ccRCC tissue, and that high TCIRG1 expression was associated with poor overall survival (OS) and short progression-free interval (PFI). In addition, TCIRG1 expression was highly correlated with the infiltration immune cells, especially CD4+T cell Th1, CD8+T cell, NK cell, and M1 macrophage, and positively correlated with PDCD1, CTLA4 and other immunoinhibitors, CCL5, CXCR3 and other chemokines and chemokine receptors. More importantly, TCIRG1 may regulate aerobic glycolysis in ccRCC via the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway, thereby affecting the malignant progression of ccRCC cell lines. CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrate that the glycolysis-related biomarker TCIRG1 is a tumor-promoting factor by affecting aerobic glycolysis and tumor immune microenvironment in ccRCC, and this finding may provide a new idea for the treatment of ccRCC by combination of metabolic intervention and immunotherapy.

Abstract
Eukaryotic genomes are organised in a structure called chromatin, comprising of DNA and histone proteins. Chromatin is thus a fundamental regulator of gene expression, as it offers storage and protection but also controls accessibility to DNA. Sensing and responding to reductions in oxygen availability (hypoxia) have recognised importance in both physiological and pathological processes in multicellular organisms. One of the main mechanisms controlling these responses is control of gene expression. Recent findings in the field of hypoxia have highlighted how oxygen and chromatin are intricately linked. This review will focus on mechanisms controlling chromatin in hypoxia, including chromatin regulators such as histone modifications and chromatin remodellers. It will also highlight how these are integrated with hypoxia inducible factors and the knowledge gaps that persist.

Abstract
Cancer development is a complex process involving both genetic and epigenetic changes. The SWI/SNF (switch/sucrose non-fermentable) chromatin remodelling complex, one of the most studied ATP-dependent complexes, plays an important role in coordinating chromatin structural stability, gene expression and post-translational modifications. The SWI/SNF complex can be classified into BAF, PBAF and GBAF according to their constituent subunits. Cancer genome sequencing studies have shown a high incidence of mutations in genes encoding subunits of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodelling complex, with abnormalities in one or more of these genes present in nearly 25% of all cancers, which indicating that stabilizing normal expression of genes encoding subunits in the SWI/SNF complex may prevent tumorigenesis. In this paper, we will review the relationship between the SWI/SNF complex and some clinical tumours and its mechanism of action. The aim is to provide a theoretical basis to guide the diagnosis and treatment of tumours caused by mutations or inactivation of one or more genes encoding subunits of the SWI/SNF complex in the clinical setting.

Abstract
Purpose: To assess the prognostic value of copper-dependent genes, copper-dependent-related genes (CDRG), and CDRG-associated immune-infiltrating cells (CIC) for pancreatic cancer. Methods: CDRG were obtained by single-cell analysis of the GSE156405 dataset in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. In a ratio of 7:3, we randomly divided the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) cohort into a training cohort and a test cohort. Tumor samples from the GSE62452 dataset were used as the validation cohort. CIBERSORT was used to obtain the immune cell infiltration. We identified the prognostic CDRG and CIC by Cox regression and the least absolute selection operator (LASSO) method. The clinical significance of these prognostic models was assessed using survival analysis, immunological microenvironment analysis, and drug sensitivity analysis. Results: 536 CDRG were obtained by single-cell sequencing analysis. We discovered that elevated LIPT1 expression was associated with a worse prognosis in pancreatic cancer patients. EPS8, CASC8, TATDN1, NT5E, and LDHA comprised the CDRG-based prognostic model. High infiltration of Macrophages.M2 in pancreatic cancer patients results in poor survival. The combined prognostic model showed great predictive performance, with the area under the curve (AUC) values being basically between 0.7 and 0.9 in all three cohorts. Conclusion: We found a cohort of CDRG and CIC in patients with pancreatic cancer. The combined prognostic model provided new insights into the prognosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer.
