RETRACTION: LncRNA NEAT1/mir-185-5p/igf2 Axis Regulates the Invasion and Migration of Colon Cancer. (PubMed, Mol Genet Genomic Med)
The authors were unable to adequately address these concerns, noting that, due to the time elapsed since the original publication, retrieval of the underlying raw data for verification would be difficult. The authors therefore requested the retraction of the article.

Stage 4A Lung Adenocarcinoma with Rare EGFR Exon 21 L861Q and Exon 18 G719A Co-Mutations Showing Complete PET-CT Response to Osimertinib: A Case Report. (PubMed, Case Rep Oncol)
This case demonstrates that osimertinib can achieve an early, deep, and sustainable response in patients with a rare G719A/L861Q co-mutation. Prospective evidence is necessary for rare EGFR subtypes.

Khellin-Derived Benzofuran-Pyrazoline Hybrids as Kinase-Targeted Anticancer Agents. (PubMed, ACS Omega)
Molecular docking studies were performed on representative active compounds to rationalize observed biological activity and characterize key interactions within the ATP-binding sites of EGFR and B-RAF kinases. Collectively, these findings identify khellin-derived benzofuran-pyrazoline hybrid systems as promising candidates for targeting kinases and as potential anticancer agents, providing a rational basis for further structural optimization and mechanistic investigation.

Novel benzothiazole-indole acetamides as potential anticancer agents: synthesis, biological evaluation, and in silico studies. (PubMed, RSC Adv)
The most potent derivative identified was 2-(3-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-1H-indol-1-yl)-N-(2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)acetamide (9d) which demonstrated IC50 values of 7.9 ± 1.6, 16.1 ± 0.5, and 9.3 ± 2.2 µM against A549, SW480, and HepG2 cells, respectively, comparable or even superior to those of cisplatin (IC50s were 5.7 ± 1.6, 15.2 ± 0.3, and 14.3 ± 1.9 µM for A549, SW480, and HepG2 cells, respectively)...In silico predictions regarding drug-likeness, pharmacokinetics, and toxicological characteristics suggest that the promising derivative 9d could be proposed as a potential anticancer drug for further preclinical studies. Molecular docking studies revealed that 9d was well accommodated within the endothelial growth factor receptor (EGFR) active site.

PRAS40-driven pro-inflammatory macrophage polarization is required for inflammatory bowel disease. (PubMed, Cell Death Dis)
Collectively, PRAS40/SP1/SLC7A5 axis drives macrophage pro-inflammatory polarization by enhancing leucine and tryptophan uptake, thereby exacerbating IBD. These findings highlight the importance of amino acid reprogramming in macrophage polarization during IBD progression and propose targeting this axis as a potential therapeutic strategy for IBD.

GPR15-guided CD8+ T regulatory cells control intestinal inflammation. (PubMed, Nature)
CD8+ TIGR cells potently kill macrophages activated by intestinal damage or disease using Fas ligand (FasL) and TNF-related weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK). The identification of CD8+ TIGR cells yields new insights into organ-specific immune regulation and potential therapeutics for IBD.

CUL7-mediated KEAP1 ubiquitination promotes the progression of colon cancer via NRF2 signaling. (PubMed, Cell Death Dis)
Our findings indicate that CUL7 mediates NRF2 signaling through promoting the KEAP1 ubiquitination, a mechanism that is integral to colon cancer progression. Collectively, these results establish CUL7 as a potential therapeutic target for colon cancer.

Metabolic checkpoint blockade of IL4I1 by ZY-MY-111 reactivates CD8+ T cell immunity and suppresses tumor growth. (PubMed, Acta Pharmacol Sin)
In syngeneic tumor models, ZY-MY-111 achieved 49% tumor growth inhibition in CT26 colon carcinoma (P < 0.001) and 56% tumor growth inhibition in A20 lymphoma (P < 0.001) by remodeling the immunosuppressive microenvironment: increasing CD8+/CD4+ T cell ratios, reducing myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs, 59% decrease), and enhancing effector memory T cell infiltration. Our findings position IL4I1 inhibition as a potential strategy to restore anti-tumor immunity.

Integrated Genomic, Structural, and Metabolomic Profiling of Freeze-Dried Postbiotic Supernatants Reveals Multi-Target Anticancer Activity Against Caco-2 Cells. (PubMed, Probiotics Antimicrob Proteins)
Metabolomic profiling using HPLC and GC-MS revealed strain-specific signatures dominated by organic acids, volatile compounds, and fatty acids associated with oxidative, inflammatory, and apoptotic modulation. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that freeze-dried CFS exert anticancer effects through coordinated transcriptomic-independent, proteomic, and metabolomic mechanisms, highlighting their potential as multifunctional postbiotic candidates for colorectal cancer intervention.
