Abstract KRAS mutations are among the most common oncogenic abnormalities in cancer. Until recently, drug discovery pursuing KRAS did not produce therapeutic benefits for patients. Specific KRAS inhibitors, such as sotorasib and adagrasib, which bind covalently to codon 12 of substituted glycine to cysteine residue of the protein (G12C), have been approved by the FDA recently for the treatment of lung cancers. Binding of these drugs to the protein inhibits the activation of the GDP-bound inactive state to the GTP-bound active state. Phase 1/2 trials have shown potential anti-tumor activity, particularly in patients with previously treated non-small cell lung cancer. Acquired… More >

Abstract Most cancer cells overexpress the anti-apoptotic protein survivin and display redox dysregulation originating
from genotypic and phenotypic alterations. These disturbances contribute to the uncontrolled proliferation, invasion, and chemoresistance of cancer cells, yet they also represent a specific vulnerability that could be exploited
therapeutically in selected tumors. YM155 (sepantronium bromide) is a naphthoquinone-containing imidazolebased compound that selectively inhibits survivin expression at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels.
Here, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical studies in which YM155 was administered
as monotherapy or combination therapy for patients with cancer. We assessed fully or partially reported clinical
outcomes and pharmacological… More >

Abstract The ability of host cells to activate apoptosis is perhaps the most potent weapon for helping cells eliminate viruses.
Human papillomaviruses (HPV) activate several pathways, enabling the infected cells to avoid extrinsic and
intrinsic apoptosis pathways. The incapacity of prostatic epithelial cells to induce apoptosis leads to the invasive
development of prostate cancer. For the pathogenesis of prostate cancer, several risk factors have been reported;
for example, some viruses and infectious diseases have been proposed as causative agents for their relation to
prostate diseases. According to several studies, high-risk human papillomaviruses cause malignancy by interfering
with the apoptotic and inflammatory… More >

Abstract Chemotherapy plays an important role in controlling cancer progression, but the long-term use of chemotherapeutic agents can lead to drug resistance and eventually treatment failure. Therefore, elucidation of the mechanism of drug resistance is the key to solve the problem of chemotherapy resistance. In recent years, exosomes
derived from tumor cells have received extensive attention from researchers. In this paper, we reviewed the role
and mechanism of exosome-mediated tumor drug resistance in recent years, summarized the related studies of
exosome and chemotherapy drug resistance, and focused on several different ways by which exosomes participate
in tumor drug resistance. It includes… More >

Abstract Background: Six2, a transcription factor, exerts an oncogenic role in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Increased Six2 expression could enhance cancer metastasis. However, the regulatory mechanism of Six2 in promoting metastasis remains unclear. The purpose of this study is to analyze the regulatory pattern of Six2 and the potential role of Six2 in the tumor immune microenvironment. Materials and Methods: Firstly, transcriptional data in TCGA-KIRC cohorts was used to analyze the relationship between Six2 expression and clinical information. Secondly, we detect the association between Six2 and the tumor immune microenvironment in ccRCC. Then, we analyzed Six2-related differentially expressed genes… More >

Abstract It is widely accepted that tumor metastasis is the dominant factor leading to cancer-related death. Tumor metastasis is mediated by cell invasion, blood circulation and lymphatic circulation. Paclitaxel, as a common anti-tumor
drug and a mitotic inhibitor, promotes microtubule assembly and inhibits microtubule depolymerization. In addition, ticagrelor, an anti-platelet drug, is used to treat acute coronary syndrome. Increasing numbers of studies
have reported that platelets can facilitate tumor metastasis. Therefore, inhibiting the effects of platelets can serve
as a novel therapeutic strategy for cancer. To explore the effect of anti-tumor and anti-platelet drugs on tumor
progression, we chose paclitaxel and… More >

Abstract Objectives: Lung cancer is a common and malignant tumor in adults and ranks first in the incidence and mortality of the top five malignant tumors in China. Our previous studies have shown that QYSL prescription can
balance lung cancer mice Th1/Th2 and inhibit tumor cell immune escape. Here, we examined the effects of QYSL
on lung cancer associated macrophage and the potential associated mechanism. Methods: C57BL/6 mice were
injected with Lewis lung cancer cells and treated with QYSL. FACS, RT-PCR, and western blot were used to examined the effect of QYSL on tumor immune microenvironment. Results: We found QYSL inhibited… More >

Abstract Background: The effective method for predicting prognosis of ICC is still lack. This study aims to establish and
verify an effective prognostic nomogram model for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) after partial hepatectomy. Materials and Methods: A nomogram model was developed in a cohort of 127 patients from January
2015 to December 2019. General clinical characteristics including preoperative physical examination data and
postoperative pathological features were obtained. The independent risk factors identified by univariate and multivariate COX proportional hazards regression models were used to construct nomogram model. Predictive accuracy and discriminative ability were determined using a concordance index and a calibration curve.… More >
