Abstract
Chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors have a role in the post-neoadjuvant setting in patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). However, the effects of nivolumab, a checkpoint inhibitor, capecitabine, or the combination in changing peripheral immunoscore (PIS) remains unclear. This open-label randomized phase II OXEL study (NCT03487666) aimed to assess the immunologic effects of nivolumab, capecitabine, or the combination in terms of the change in PIS (primary endpoint). Secondary endpoints included the presence of ctDNA, toxicity, clinical outcomes at 2-years and association of ctDNA and PIS with clinical outcomes. Forty-five women with TNBC and residual invasive disease after standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy were randomized to nivolumab, capecitabine, or the combination. Here we show that a combination of nivolumab plus capecitabine leads to a greater increase in PIS from baseline to week 6 (91%) compared with nivolumab (47%) or capecitabine (53%) alone (log-rank p = 0.08), meeting the pre-specified primary endpoint. In addition, the presence of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is associated with disease recurrence, with no new safety signals in the combination arm. Our results provide efficacy and safety data on this combination in TNBC and support further development of PIS and ctDNA analyses to identify patients at high risk of recurrence.

Abstract
Single-cell sequencing is a technique for detecting and analyzing genomes, transcriptomes, and epigenomes at the single-cell level, which can detect cellular heterogeneity lost in conventional sequencing hybrid samples, and it has revolutionized our understanding of the genetic heterogeneity and complexity of tumor progression. Moreover, the tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a crucial role in the formation, development and response to treatment of tumors. The application of single-cell sequencing has ushered in a new age for the TME analysis, revealing not only the blueprint of the pan-cancer immune microenvironment, but also the heterogeneity and differentiation routes of immune cells, as well as predicting tumor prognosis. Thus, the combination of single-cell sequencing and the TME analysis provides a unique opportunity to unravel the molecular mechanisms underlying tumor development and progression. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in single-cell sequencing and the TME analysis, highlighting their potential applications in cancer research and clinical translation.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer type among women with a distinct clinical presentation, but the survival rate remains moderate despite advances in multimodal therapy. Consequently, a deeper understanding of the molecular etiology is required for the development of more effective treatments for BC. The relationship between inflammation and tumorigenesis is well established, and the activation of the pro-inflammatory transcription factor nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) is frequently identified in BC. Constitutive NF-κB activation is linked to cell survival, metastasis, proliferation, and hormonal, chemo-, and radiotherapy resistance. Moreover, the crosstalk between NF-κB and other transcription factors is well documented. It is reported that vitamin C plays a key role in preventing and treating a number of pathological conditions, including cancer, when administered at remarkably high doses. Indeed, vitamin C can regulate the activation of NF-κB by inhibiting specific NF-κB-dependent genes and multiple stimuli. In this review, we examine the various NF-κB impacts on BC development. We also provide some insight into how the NF-κB network may be targeted as a potential vulnerability by using natural pro-oxidant therapies such as vitamin C.

Abstract
IntroductionColon cancer is the 3rd most prevalent cancer worldwide, with more than 900,000 deaths annually. Chemotherapy, targeted treatment, and immunotherapeutic treatment are the three cornerstones of colon cancer treatment; however, the occurrence of immune therapy resistance is the most pressing problem to solve. Copper is a mineral nutrient that is both beneficial and potentially toxic to cells and is increasingly implicated in cell proliferation and death pathways. Cuproplasia is characterized by copper-dependent cell growth and proliferation. This term encompasses both neoplasia and hyperplasia and describes the primary and secondary effects of copper. The connection between copper and cancer has been noted for decades. However, the relationship between cuproplasia and colon cancer prognosis remains unclear.MethodIn this study, we applied bioinformatics approaches including WGCNA, GSEA and etc. to delineate cuproplasia characterization of colon cancer, set up a robust Cu_riskScore model based on cuproplasia-relevant genes and found its relevant biological processes use qRT-pCR to validate our results on our cohort.ResultThe Cu_riskScore is found to be relevant to Stage and MSI-H subtype, and some biological processes including MYOGENESIS and MYC TARGETS. The Cu_riskScore high and low groups also showed different immune infiltration pattern and genomic traits. Finally, the result of our cohort showed the Cu_riskScore gene RNF113A has a marked effect in predicting immunotherapy response.DiscussionIn conclusion, we identified a cuproplasia-related gene expression signature consisting of six genes and studied the landscape of the clinical and biological characterization of this model in Colon Cancer. Furthermore, the Cu_riskScore was demonstrated to be a robust prognostic indicator and predictive factor for the benefits of immunotherapy.

Breast cancer tumor microenvironment affects Treg/IL-17-producing Treg/Th17 cell axis: Molecular and therapeutic perspectives. Mol Ther Oncolytics 2023; 28:132-157.

Abstract
The tumor microenvironment (TME) comprises a variety of immune cells, among which T cells exert a prominent axial role in tumor development or anti-tumor responses in patients with breast cancer (BC). High or low levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines, such as transforming growth factor β, in the absence or presence of proinflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), delineate the fate of T cells toward either regulatory T (Treg) or T helper 17 (Th17) cells, respectively. The transitional state of RORγt+Foxp3+ Treg (IL-17-producing Treg) resides in the middle of this reciprocal polarization, which is known as Treg/IL-17-producing Treg/Th17 cell axis. TME secretome, including microRNAs, cytokines, and extracellular vesicles, can significantly affect this axis. Furthermore, immune checkpoint inhibitors may be used to reconstruct immune cells; however, some of these novel therapies may favor tumor development. Therefore, understanding secretory and cell-associated factors involved in their differentiation or polarization and functions may be targeted for BC management. This review discusses microRNAs, cytokines, and extracellular vesicles (as secretome), as well as transcription factors and immune checkpoints (as cell-associated factors), which influence the Treg/IL-17-producing Treg/Th17 cell axis in BC. Furthermore, approved or ongoing clinical trials related to the modulation of this axis in the TME of BC are described to broaden new horizons of promising therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Purpose Necroptosis is a mode of programmed cell death that overcomes apoptotic resistance. We aimed to construct a steady necroptosis-related signature and identify subtypes for prognostic and immunotherapy sensitivity prediction. Methods Necroptosis-related prognostic lncRNAs were selected by co-expression analysis, and were used to construct a linear stepwise regression model via univariate and multivariate Cox regression, along with least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO). Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to measure the gene expression levels of lncRNAs included in the model. Based on the riskScore calculated, we separated patients into high- and low-risk groups. Afterwards, we performed CIBERSORT and the single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) method to explore immune infiltration status. Furthermore, we investigated the relationships between the signature and immune landscape, genomic integrity, clinical characteristics, drug sensitivity, and immunotherapy efficacy. Results We constructed a robust necroptosis-related 22-lncRNA model, serving as an independent prognostic factor for breast cancer (BRCA). The low-risk group seemed to be the immune-activated type. Meanwhile, it showed that the higher the tumor mutation burden (TMB), the higher the riskScore. PD-L1-CTLA4 combined immunotherapy seemed to be a promising treatment strategy. Lastly, patients were assigned to 4 clusters to better discern the heterogeneity among patients. Conclusions The necroptosis-related lncRNA signature and molecular clusters indicated superior predictive performance in prognosis and the immune microenvironment, which may also provide guidance to drug regimens for immunotherapy and provide novel insights into precision medicine.

Abstract
Simple Summary The tumor microenvironment determines the prognosis and outcome for cancer patients. Herein, tumor-associated macrophages are not only highly abundant, but also play a crucial role in shaping a tumor-supporting microenvironment. Both their recruitment to the tumor as well as their functional polarization toward a pro-tumorigenic phenotype are mediated by tumor-derived factors including microRNAs. However, the impact of most microRNAs on the tumor cell-macrophage crosstalk remains to be elucidated. Thus, we reached out to investigate the role of hsa-miR-200c-3p (miR-200c) in tumor cell–macrophage interactions, as it was shown to be differentially expressed during cancer progression and metastasis. miR-200c was highly expressed in MCF7 breast tumor cells compared to macrophages. Furthermore, we identified a CD36-dependent uptake of miR-200c, derived from apoptotic tumor cells, into macrophages. In macrophages, elevated miR-200c levels reduced the expression of numerous migration-associated mRNAs, consequently reducing the capacity of macrophages to infiltrate into tumor spheroids. Finally, a distinct signature of miR-200c-repressed, predicted targets was identified, which strongly correlated with tumor infiltration. Targeting the miR-200c transfer from dying tumor cells to macrophages might therefore provide the opportunity to specifically modulate tumor-associated macrophage recruitment. Abstract Macrophages constitute a major part of the tumor-infiltrating immune cells. Within the tumor microenvironment, they acquire an alternatively activated, tumor-supporting phenotype. Factors released by tumor cells are crucial for the recruitment of tumor-associated macrophages. In the present project, we aimed to understand the role of hsa-miR-200c-3p (miR-200c) in the interplay between tumor cells and macrophages. To this end, we employed a coculture system of MCF7 breast tumor cells and primary human macrophages and observed the transfer of miR-200c from apoptotic tumor cells to macrophages, which required intact CD36 receptor in macrophages. We further comprehensively determined miR-200c targets in macrophages by mRNA-sequencing and identified numerous migration-associated mRNAs to be downregulated by miR-200c. Consequently, miR-200c attenuated macrophage infiltration into 3-dimensional tumor spheroids. miR-200c-mediated reduction in infiltration further correlated with a miR-200c migration signature comprised of the four miR-200c-repressed, predicted targets PPM1F, RAB11FIB2, RDX, and MSN.
