    Abstract Bladder cancer (BC) is the 10th most common cancer worldwide, with about 0.5 million reported new cases and about 0.2 million deaths per year. In this scoping review, we summarize the current evidence regarding the clinical implications of single-cell sequencing for bladder cancer based on PRISMA guidelines. We searched PubMed, CENTRAL, Embase, and supplemented with manual searches through the Scopus, and Web of Science for published studies until February 2023. We included original studies that used at least one single-cell technology to study bladder cancer. Forty-one publications were included in the review. Twenty-nine studies showed that this technology can identify… More > Graphic Abstract

    Development of a cell adhesion-based prognostic model for multiple myeloma: Insights into chemotherapy response and potential reversal of adhesion effects

    QIAN HU, MENGYAO WANG, JINJIN WANG, YALI TAO, TING NIU*

    Oncology Research, Vol.32, No.4, pp. 753-768, 2024, DOI:10.32604/or.2023.043647

    Abstract Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematologic malignancy notorious for its high relapse rate and development of drug resistance, in which cell adhesion-mediated drug resistance plays a critical role. This study integrated four RNA sequencing datasets (CoMMpass, GSE136337, GSE9782, and GSE2658) and focused on analyzing 1706 adhesion-related genes. Rigorous univariate Cox regression analysis identified 18 key prognosis-related genes, including KIF14, TROAP, FLNA, MSN, LGALS1, PECAM1, and ALCAM, which demonstrated the strongest associations with poor overall survival (OS) in MM patients. To comprehensively evaluate the impact of cell adhesion on MM prognosis, an adhesion-related risk score (ARRS) model was constructed using Lasso… More >

    Abstract Kidney Renal Clear Cell Carcinoma (KIRC) is a malignant tumor that carries a substantial risk of morbidity and mortality. The MMP family assumes a crucial role in tumor invasion and metastasis. This study aimed to uncover the mechanistic relevance of the MMP gene family as a therapeutic target and diagnostic biomarker in Kidney Renal Clear Cell Carcinoma (KIRC) through a comprehensive approach encompassing both computational and molecular analyses. STRING, Cytoscape, UALCAN, GEPIA, OncoDB, HPA, cBioPortal, GSEA, TIMER, ENCORI, DrugBank, targeted bisulfite sequencing (bisulfite-seq), conventional PCR, Sanger sequencing, and RT-qPCR based analyses were used in the present study to analyze MMP… More >

    Codelivery of anti-CD47 antibody and chlorin e6 using a dual pH-sensitive nanodrug for photodynamic immunotherapy of osteosarcoma

    JIJIE XIAO1, HONG XIAO2, YUJUN CAI3, JIANWEI LIAO1, JUE LIU1, LIN YAO1, SHAOLIN LI1,*

    Oncology Research, Vol.32, No.4, pp. 691-702, 2024, DOI:10.32604/or.2023.030767

    Abstract Osteosarcoma is a malignant tumor originating from bone tissue that progresses rapidly and has a poor patient prognosis. Immunotherapy has shown great potential in the treatment of osteosarcoma. However, the immunosuppressive microenvironment severely limits the efficacy of osteosarcoma treatment. The dual pH-sensitive nanocarrier has emerged as an effective antitumor drug delivery system that can selectively release drugs into the acidic tumor microenvironment. Here, we prepared a dual pH-sensitive nanocarrier, loaded with the photosensitizer Chlorin e6 (Ce6) and CD47 monoclonal antibodies (aCD47), to deliver synergistic photodynamic and immunotherapy of osteosarcoma. On laser irradiation, Ce6 can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) to… More > Graphic Abstract

    Identification of prognostic molecular subtypes and model based on CD8+ T cells for lung adenocarcinoma

    HONGMIN CAO1,#,*, YING XUE2,#, FEI WANG1, GUANGYAO LI1, YULAN ZHEN1, JINGWEN GUO1

    BIOCELL, Vol.48, No.3, pp. 473-490, 2024, DOI:10.32604/biocell.2024.048946

    Abstract Background: Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CD8+ T) cells function critically in mediating anti-tumor immune response in cancer patients. Characterizing the specific functions of CD8+ T cells in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) could help better understand local anti-tumor immune responses and estimate the effect of immunotherapy. Methods: Gens related to CD8+ T cells were identified by cluster analysis based on the single-cell sequencing data of three LUAD tissues and their paired normal tissues. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), consensus clustering, differential expression analysis, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and Cox regression analysis were conducted to classify molecular subtypes for LUAD… More > Graphic Abstract

    SENEX-mediated CDK4/6 inhibition promotes senescence and confers apoptosis resistance in B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma

    JIYU WANG1,#, LIUYING YI2,#, KEKE HUANG1, YANGYANG WANG1, HUIPING WANG1, ZHIMIN ZHAI1,*

    BIOCELL, Vol.48, No.3, pp. 453-462, 2024, DOI:10.32604/biocell.2024.047871

    Abstract Background: The primary cause of treatment failure in patients with refractory or relapsed B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (r/r B-NHL) is resistance to current therapies, and therapy-induced senescence (TIS) stands out as a crucial mechanism contributing to tumor drug resistance. Here, we analyzed SENEX/Rho GTPase Activating Protein 18 (ARHGAP18) expression and prognostic significance in doxorubicin-induced B-NHL-TIS model and r/r B-NHL patients, investigating its target in B-NHL cell senescence and the effect of combining specific inhibitors on apoptosis resistance in B-NHL-TIS cells. Methods: Raji cells were transfected with the human SENEX shRNA recombinant lentiviral vector (Sh-SENEX) and the empty vector negative (NC) to… More >

    Exploring the molecular mechanisms and potential therapeutic strategies of ferroptosis in ovarian cancer

    LISHA MA1,#, WANQI SHAO1,#, WEILI ZHU2,*

    BIOCELL, Vol.48, No.3, pp. 379-386, 2024, DOI:10.32604/biocell.2024.047812

    Abstract The morbidity rate of ovarian cancer, a malignant tumour in gynaecological tumours, is rising, and it is considered to be the most lethal cancer. The majority of patients are typically diagnosed during the advanced stages of the illness due to the elusive characteristics of ovarian cancer and an absence of highly sensitive and specific diagnostic indicators. Surgical excision of the lesions, along with chemotherapy, is the conventional treatment for ovarian cancer; however, resistance to platinum-based chemotherapeutic drugs and molecular targeted therapies frequently arises. Improving the survival rate and prognosis of patients with end-stage or recurring ovarian cancer requires the identification… More >

    The heterogeneity of tumor-associated macrophages and strategies to target it

    HAO LV1, BO ZHU1,2, DEGAO CHEN1,2,*

    BIOCELL, Vol.48, No.3, pp. 363-378, 2024, DOI:10.32604/biocell.2023.046367

    Abstract Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are emerging as targets for tumor therapy because of their primary role in promoting tumor progression. Several studies have been conducted to target TAMs by reducing their infiltration, depleting their numbers, and reversing their phenotypes to suppress tumor progression, leading to the development of drugs in preclinical and clinical trials. However, the heterogeneous characteristics of TAMs, including their ontogenetic and functional heterogeneity, limit their targeting. Therefore, in-depth exploration of the heterogeneity of TAMs, combined with immune checkpoint therapy or other therapeutic modalities could improve the efficiency of tumor treatment. This review focuses on the heterogeneous ontogeny and… More >

    MicroRNAs modulation in lung cancer: exploring dual mechanisms and clinical prospects

    SHAHID HUSSAIN1,*, HABIB BOKHARI1, XINGXING FAN2, SHAUKAT IQBAL MALIK3, SUNDAS IJAZ1, MUHAMMAD ADNAN SHEREEN4, AIMAN FATIMA3

    BIOCELL, Vol.48, No.3, pp. 403-413, 2024, DOI:10.32604/biocell.2024.044801

    Abstract The global incidence of lung cancer is marked by a considerably elevated mortality rate. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) exert pivotal influence in the intricate orchestration of gene regulation, and their dysregulation can precipitate dire consequences, notably cancer. Within this context, miRNAs encapsulated in exosomes manifest a diversified impact on the landscape of lung cancer, wherein their actions may either foster angiogenesis, cell proliferation, and metastasis, or counteract these processes. This comprehensive review article discerns potential targets for the prospective development of therapeutic agents tailored for lung cancer. Tumor-suppressive miRNAs, such as miR-204, miR-192, miR-30a, miR-34a, miR-34b, miR-203, and miR-212, exhibit heightened expression… More >
