Ferroptosis at the Intersection of Metabolism and Immunity in Pancreatitis and Pancreatic Cancer

[Seminars in Immunology] Scientists discuss how ferroptosis shapes immune responses in pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer and examine the factors that determine whether it promotes inflammation, antitumor immunity, or immune tolerance.

Revolution Medicines’ New Drug Application for Daraxonrasib Accepted for Review by U.S. FDA for Previously Treated Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer

[Revolution Medicines, Inc.] Revolution Medicines, Inc. announced that the US FDA accepted for review the company’s New Drug Application for daraxonrasib, an oral RAS(ON) multi-selective inhibitor, for previously treated metastatic PDAC.

A Ligandable PNT Domain Establishes ERG As a Directly Targetable Oncogenic Driver in Prostate Cancer

[Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America] Investigators demonstrated continued dependency on ERG in metastatic prostate cancer and identify a druggable pocket within its N-terminal Pointed (PNT) domain.

ZNF263-NuRD-Mediated Repression of STAT1 Curtails MHC-I Antigen Presentation and IFN-γ Efficacy in Prostate Cancer

[Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America] Researchers identified ZNF263 as a transcriptional repressor that silences MHC-I by recruiting nucleosome-remodeling and deacetylase (NuRD) to the STAT1 promoter, reducing STAT1 and MHC-I expression.

Randomized Phase II Trial of Nivolumab and Ipilimumab with or without Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy in Patients with Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer: The CheckPRO,...

[Journal for Immunotherapy of Cancer] Scientists hypothesized that the addition of stereotactic body radiation therapy could enhance immune responses and improve treatment outcomes.

A Novel lncRNA HUDRPC Suppresses Ferroptosis via the DDX5/DDIT3 Pathway to Promote Docetaxel Resistance in Prostate Cancer

[Cancer Letters] The authors functionally characterized a novel docetaxel resistance-associated lncRNA in prostate cancer. They identified an uncharacterized lncRNA, termed HUDRPC, which was significantly upregulated in resistant cells and patient-derived tumor tissues.
