Novel modalities of therapy, primarily targeted therapy, are now considered for patients with targetable mutations, such as BRAF mutations based on next generation sequencing. BRAF mutations specifically

Targeting Autophagy With the Synergistic Combination of Chloroquine and Rapamycin as a Novel Effective Treatment for Well-differentiated Liposarcoma. Cancer Genom. Proteom. (IF 2.5) Pub Date : 2023-7-4 Noriyuki Masaki, Yusuke Aoki, Koya Obara, Yutaro Kubota, Michael Bouvet, Jun Miyazaki, Robert M Hoffman
Liposarcoma is a type of soft-tissue sarcoma arising from fat tissue. It is relatively common among soft-tissue sarcomas. Chloroquine (CQ), an antimalarial drug, can inhibit autophagy and induce apoptosis in cancer cells. Rapamycin (RAPA) is an inhibitor of mTOR. The combination of RAPA and CQ is a strong inhibitor of autophagy. Previously, we showed that the combination of RAPA and CQ was effective

Squamous cell carcinoma is one of the major subtypes of esophageal carcinoma, and the 5-year overall survival rate of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients who underwent curative treatment remains below 40%. We aimed to detect and validate the prognosticators of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in patients who underwent radical esophagectomy.

Combination of Urinary MiR-501 and MiR-335 With Current Clinical Diagnostic Parameters as Potential Predictive Factors of Prostate Biopsy Outcome. Cancer Genom. Proteom. (IF 2.5) Pub Date : 2023-4-24 Jaroslav Juracek, Marie Madrzyk, Karolina Trachtova, Michaela Ruckova, Julia Bohosova, Dominik A Barth, Martin Pichler, Michal Stanik, Ondrej Slaby
The detection of prostate cancer (PCa) is currently based on prostate-specific antigen (PSA) quantification as an initial screening followed by ultrasound-guided transrectal biopsy. However, the high rate of false-negative biopsies often leads to inappropriate treatment. Therefore, new molecular biomarkers, such as urine microRNAs (miRNAs), are a possible way to redefine PCa diagnostics.

Biospecimen Digital Twins: Moving from a "High Quality" to a "Fit-for-Purpose" Concept in the Era of Omics Sciences. Cancer Genom. Proteom. (IF 2.5) Pub Date : 2023-4-24 Umberto Nanni, Patrizia Ferroni, Silvia Riondino, Antonella Spila, Maria Giovanna Valente, Girolamo Del Monte, Mario Roselli, Fiorella Guadagni
The growing demand for personalized medicine we are currently witnessing has given rise to more in-depth research in the field of biomarker discovery and, thus, in biological banks that hold the ability to process, collect, store, and distribute "high-quality" biological specimens. However, the notion of "specimen quality" is subject to change with technological advancements. In this perspective, we

A Bioinformatics Assessment Indicating Better Outcomes With Breast Cancer Resident, Immunoglobulin CDR3-MMP2 Binding. Cancer Genom. Proteom. (IF 2.5) Pub Date : 2023-4-24 Suhaas R Mandala, Alexis J Thomson, Etienne C Gozlan, Dhruv N Patel, Andrea Chobrutskiy, Boris I Chobrutskiy, George Blanck
The recombination of V, D, and J immunoglobulin (IG) gene segments leads to many variations in the amino acids (AAs) encoded at that site, the complementarity determining region-3 (CDR3). Thus, cancer patients may have varying degrees of CDR3 AA binding specificity for cancer proteases, for example, matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2). MMP2 in breast cancer has been found to contribute to metastasis

A Multiplex Biomarker Assay Improves the Prediction of Survival in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer. Cancer Genom. Proteom. (IF 2.5) Pub Date : 2023-4-24 Arturas Dobilas, Anna Åkesson, Pia Leandersson, Christer Borgfeldt
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is usually diagnosed in advanced stages and has a high mortality rate. In this study, we used the proximity extension assay from Olink Proteomics to search for new plasma protein biomarkers to predict overall survival (OS) in patients with EOC.

Loss of F-Box and Leucine Rich Repeat Protein 5 (FBXL5) Expression Is Associated With Poor Survival in Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma After Curative Resection: A Two-institute Study. Cancer Genom. Proteom. (IF 2.5) Pub Date : 2023-4-24 Yoon Ah Cho, Sung-Eun Kim, Cheol Keun Park, Hyun Hee Koh, Cheol-Keun Park, Sang Yun Ha
Alteration of F-box and leucine-rich repeat protein 5 (FBXL5), an iron-sensing ubiquitin ligase, might be related with carcinogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), by disturbing cellular iron homeostasis. However, the clinical implications of FBXL5 expression using patient samples need to be elucidated.

Breast Cancer: Circular RNAs Mediating Efficacy in Preclinical In Vivo Models. Cancer Genom. Proteom. (IF 2.5) Pub Date : 2023-4-24 Ulrich H Weidle, Hung-En Hsia, Ulrich Brinkmann
In order to identify new targets and treatment modalities for breast cancer, we searched the literature for circular RNAs (circRNAs) with efficacy in preclinical breast cancer-related in vivo models. From our search, we identified 26 up-regulated and six down-regulated circRNAs which mediate efficacy in breast cancer-related preclinical in vivo models. We discuss reconstitution and inhibition of the

Knockdown of G Protein-coupled Estrogen Receptor 1 (GPER1) Enhances Tumor-supportive Properties in Cervical Carcinoma Cells. Cancer Genom. Proteom. (IF 2.5) Pub Date : 2023-4-24 Sophia Ruckriegl, Johanna Loris, Katsiaryna Wert, Gerd Bauerschmitz, Julia Gallwas, Carsten Gründker
A wide variety of answers can be found regarding the question of whether G-protein-coupled estrogen receptor 1 (GPER1) is tumor supportive or tumor suppressive. In cervical carcinoma (CC), the function of GPER1 is poorly understood. In this work, we aimed to clarify what role GPER1 plays in CC, tumor promoting of tumor suppressive.

The Role of Apoptotic Genes and Protein-Protein Interactions in Triple-negative Breast Cancer. Cancer Genom. Proteom. (IF 2.5) Pub Date : 2023-4-24 Getinet M Adinew, Samia Messeha, Equar Taka, Shade A Ahmed, Karam F A Soliman
Compared to other breast cancer types, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has historically had few treatment alternatives. Therefore, exploring and pinpointing potentially implicated genes could be used for treating and managing TNBC. By doing this, we will provide essential data to comprehend how the genes are involved in the apoptotic pathways of the cancer cells to identify potential therapeutic

Receptor for Hyaluronic Acid-mediated Motility (RHAMM) Is Associated With Prostate Cancer Migration and Poor Prognosis. Cancer Genom. Proteom. (IF 2.5) Pub Date : 2023-3-5 Akinori Minato, Yuzan Kudo, Hirotsugu Noguchi, Shiro Kohi, Yoshitaka Hasegawa, Norihiro Sato, Keiji Hirata, Naohiro Fujimoto
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a large glycosaminoglycan composed of an extracellular matrix. The HA-rich microenvironment and receptors of HA have been suggested to play roles in cancer progression. The biological and clinical significance of receptor for HA-mediated motility (RHAMM), known as CD168 in prostate cancer (PC) remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate the expression of RHAMM, as well

Structural abnormalities of chromosome bands 8q11-13, resulting in rearrangement of the pleomorphic adenoma gene 1 (PLAG1), are known to characterize lipoblastoma, a benign fat cell tumor, found mainly in children. Here, we describe 8q11-13 rearrangements and their molecular consequences on PLAG1 in 7 lipomatous tumors in adults.
