Delineating the Role of Osteoprotegerin as a Marker of Breast Cancer Risk among Women with a BRCA1 Mutation

[Hereditary Cancer in Clinical Practice] Scientists provide a review of the emerging preclinical and epidemiologic evidence implicating the dysregulation of progesterone-mediated receptor activator of nuclear factor κB signaling in the pathogenesis of BRCA1-associated breast cancer.

LncRNA PCAT1 Activates SOX2 and Suppresses Radioimmune Responses via Regulating cGAS/STING Signaling in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

[Clinical and Translational Medicine] Investigators explored the impacts of prostate cancer-associated ncRNA transcripts 1 (PCAT1) on tumorigenesis and radioimmune responses and the underlying molecular mechanisms in NSCLC.

Progenitor Potential of Lung Epithelial Organoid Cells in a Transplantation Model

[Cell Reports] The authors transplanted organoid cells derived from alveolar type II cells enriched by SCA1-negative status or multipotent SCA1-positive progenitor cells into injured mouse lungs.

Caspase-9b Drives Cellular Transformation, Lung Inflammation, and Lung Tumorigenesis

[Molecular Cancer Research] A transgenic mouse model expressing human Caspase-9b in the lung pneumocytes developed inflammatory lung lesions, which correlated with enhanced activation of the NF-κB pathway and increased influx of immunosuppressive MDSCs in contrast to wild-type mice.

Activity of Adagrasib (MRTX849) in Brain Metastases: Preclinical Models and Clinical Data from Patients with KRASG12C-Mutant Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

[Clinical Cancer Research] A retrospective database query identified patients with KRAS-mutant NSCLC to understand their propensity to develop brain metastases.

Cancer Stem-Like Cells Evade CD8+CD103+ Tumor-Resident Memory T (TRM) Lymphocytes by Initiating an Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition Program in a Human Lung Tumor Mode

[Journal For Immunotherapy of Cancer] Researchers supported the rational design of immunotherapeutic strategies targeting cancer stem cells to optimize their responsiveness to local CD8+CD103+ TRM cells for more efficient anticancer treatments.

CD4+CD25+FOXP3+ Regulatory T Cells to Protect against Graft-Versus-Host Disease

[Blood] The authors discuss the history, preclinical studies, and successful translation of CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ Tregs in the context of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation.

UV Irradiation Drives Lineage-Specific MITF-Mediated Transcription of PD-L1 to Confer Immune Tolerance to UV-Mutated Melanocytes

[Immunity] Researchers investigated whether melanocyte-intrinsic transcriptional program(s) underlie immune tolerance to mutations resulting from UV radiation exposure.
