A novel nomogram based on DLL3 and PD-L1 for predicting the prognosis of patients with small cell lung cancer. (PubMed, BMC Cancer)
The prognostic model developed in this study offers predictive value in estimating 12-month survival probability for SCLC patients, aiding clinicians in making more informed treatment decisions.

Immunohistochemical Study of GATA3, c-KIT/CD117, CD56 and CD45 Expression in Proliferative Verrucous Leukoplakia (PVL), PVL-Associated Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Oral Leukoplakia. (PubMed, Genes (Basel))
No significant correlation between markers was found. These data collectively underscore an activated yet disturbed immune response that might be involved in the development and progression of malignancy in PVL that may also be considered as unique and interesting in vivo model of oral carcinogenesis.

Prognostic significance of cytogenetic and molecular features in pediatric acute myeloid leukemia: a meta-analysis. (PubMed, BMC Cancer)
WT1 overexpression and KIT mutations (in selected cytogenetic contexts) are validated as adverse prognostic indicators in pediatric AML. Conversely, FLT3-ITD and CEBPA mutations require nuanced interpretation due to variable effects and methodological heterogeneity. These findings support the integration of molecular profiling into pediatric AML risk stratification and underscore the need for harmonized, prospective studies to refine prognostic models in this population.

Therapeutic effects of three-strain probiotic combination on slow transit constipation: mechanistic insights into MAPK signaling pathway and gut microbiota restoration. (PubMed, Front Pharmacol)
In this study, we demonstrated that Golden Bifid alleviates loperamide-induced constipation by coordinately modulating host transcriptomic profiles, particularly the MAPK and serotonin signaling pathways, and restoring gut microbiota composition and diversity...Additionally, 16S rDNA sequencing demonstrated that the Golden Bifid partially restored gut microbiota structure, increased microbial diversity, and reversed the dysbiosis induced by LOP, notably reducing the abundance of Patescibacteria and modulating microbial taxa at both the phylum and genus levels to resemble the gut microbiota composition of the control group. These findings suggest that Golden Bifid alleviate STC by enhancing c-kit and 5-HT signaling, modulating the MAPK signaling pathway and pathway and restoring gut microbiota balance, offering promising therapeutic potential for STC treatment.

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy modulates mast cell phenotypes and immune infiltration in high-grade serous carcinoma. (PubMed, Gynecol Oncol)
Successful NACT was associated with a reduction in CD52 + KIT+ mast cells and an increase in the JUN+/TNFRSF12A+ subpopulation. The increased infiltration of KIT-expressing mast cells may serve as a prognostic biomarker for HGSC following NACT and represent a potential novel therapeutic target to enhance NACT efficacy.

MITF regulates autophagy and extracellular vesicle cargo in gastrointestinal stromal tumors. (PubMed, Mol Biomed)
As KIT-containing EVs have been implicated in GIST invasion, these findings suggest that MITF contributes to tumor progression through coordinated regulation of autophagy and EV-mediated signaling. Collectively, our results identify MITF as a key regulator of GIST biology, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target to limit tumor growth and metastasis.

Case Report: Synchronous primary location of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) and adenocarcinoma of the colon: an unusual occurrence. (PubMed, F1000Res)
More studies seem be necessary to clarify a potential role of different genes in the development of adenocarcinomas. And therefore, above all their therapeutic implications.

Factors distinguishing thymomas from thymic squamous cell carcinoma: a proposal for diagnosis emphasizing the immunophenotype. (PubMed, Mediastinum)
This review presents this perspective through discussion of various TET cases, focusing on type A thymoma, type B3 thymoma, and thymic SCC. Rather than asserting a definitive viewpoint, we aim to encourage constructive discussion toward a diagnostic consensus for TETs.

Design, synthesis, and antitumor activity study of novel oleanolic acid structural derivatives targeting c-Kit. (PubMed, Bioorg Med Chem Lett)
MTT assays revealed that these compounds exhibited significant inhibitory activity against HepG-2 and MCF-7 cell lines, with compounds I9 and II9 showing IC50 values comparable to those of the reference drugs gefitinib and sorafenib. Additionally, Western blot analysis revealed that treatment with compound I9 led to a concentration-dependent downregulation of c-Kit expression, indicating that its antitumor activity may be mediated, at least in part, through inhibition of c-Kit signaling.

c-KIT Small Molecule Inhibitors as a Therapeutic Strategy for Melanoma: Clinical Insights, SAR, and Future Directions. (PubMed, Arch Pharm (Weinheim))
Moreover, the increasing incidence and mortality rate associated with melanoma further marks the importance of developing new therapeutic modalities. Herein, the progress in the design, structure-activity relationship, mechanisms, and development of c-KIT small molecule inhibitors for melanoma is discussed with the aim of guiding future c-KIT-based melanoma therapeutics.

PTTG1-mediated reprogramming of asparagine metabolism enhances DNA damage repair and leads to compromised antitumor immunity in prostate cancer. (PubMed, Urol Oncol)
PTTG1 promotes DDR by reprogramming Asn metabolism, thereby inhibiting the function of CD8+T cells. Targeting PTTG1 can reverse this process, providing a new strategy for PCa immunotherapy.
