Single-cell transcriptomic analysis reveals key cell types and pathogenic genes associated with metastasis in pancreatic adenocarcinoma. (PubMed, Clin Exp Med)
Furthermore, PTK6 was identified as a driver of PAAD proliferation, migration, and invasion. Collectively, our study elucidates TME-driven mechanisms of PAAD metastasis, identifies prognostic and therapeutic targets, and provides a framework for precision intervention.

Abietic Acid Induces DNA Damage and Cell Apoptosis in Lung Cancer Cells Through Targeting TOP2A. (PubMed, Biomolecules)
In vivo studies confirmed the antitumor efficacy of abietic acid and its low systemic toxicity. Abietic acid demonstrated significant antitumor effects in lung cancer cells by downregulating TOP2A, which induced DNA damage and apoptosis, revealing its clinical potential.

TOP2A, BUB1B, CENPF, KIF15 and MELK: Key senescence-related genes linked to prognosis and immune infiltration in lung adenocarcinoma senescence-related genes in LUAD. (PubMed, Int J Biol Macromol)
In vitro experiments revealed that TOP2A knockdown inhibited the viability, migration, and invasion of LUAD cells. These findings may be provided a theoretical foundation for the discovery of biomarkers for prognostic prediction and diagnosis in LUAD.

Nanoparticle-based approaches for doxorubicin delivery in hepatocellular carcinoma: Current strategies and emerging innovations. (PubMed, Semin Oncol)
We focus on preclinical studies that utilized a variety of nanoparticle formulations for palliative care to patients with HCC, have investigated the use of liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles (e.g., PCL, chitosan), metallic particles (e.g., gold, silver, iron oxide), dendrimers, and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), which have been loaded with doxorubicin or combined with other agents (e.g., cantharidin, berberine, isoginkgetin, ginger extract). The nanoparticle formulations enhanced drug delivery, increased drug accumulation per cell, reduced systemic toxicity, and overcame drug resistance mechanisms in HCC models.

Integrated analysis reveals survival-related genes promoting cholangiocarcinoma progression via G2/M cell cycle, with validation of cyclin B1 in tumor proliferation. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
This study is the first to define a G2/M-phase gene module promoting CCA progression and map its single-cell dynamics, highlighting CCNB1 as a therapeutic target. Our results reveal SRGs as a coordinated oncogenic network underlying tumor aggressiveness, providing mechanistic insights for future SRG-targeted therapies.

A SWI/SNF complex-related genes signature predicts prognosis and immune infiltration in ccRCC with KCNK5 as a novel biomarker. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
Specifically, KCNK5 overexpression significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion capabilities of ccRCC cell lines. Although the precise functional mechanisms of these core genes in ccRCC are not yet fully elucidated, this study provides new insights for the treatment of ccRCC.

Topoisomerase IIα orchestrates secretion of IL-6 and IL-8 with human papillomavirus replication. (PubMed, Virol Sin)
Blockade of TLR4 signaling by the specific inhibitor TAK-242 significantly reduces the secreted IL-6/IL-8 levels and HPV replication. Overall, our results reveal a novel role of Top2α to shape the inflammatory microenvironment that benefits HPV replication, making it a promising therapeutic target for HPV-associated diseases.

zDHHC-mediated palmitoylation modification patterns and tumor immune microenvironment infiltration characterization in pancreatic cancer. (PubMed, Int Immunopharmacol)
zDHHCs-mediated palmitoylation and its regulatory gene network critically shape pancreatic cancer heterogeneity, immune microenvironment, and prognosis. The PRGS model provides a novel molecular tool for patient stratification and may inform the development of precision therapies targeting palmitoylation-driven pathways in PC.

Deep learning-based classification of colorectal cancer in histopathology images for category detection. (PubMed, Biol Methods Protoc)
Particularly, High-grade dysplasia classification accuracy improved from 53.57% with ResNet-34 to 71.43% in its two-stage extension. These results suggest that moderate-depth architectures can effectively capture the morphological diversity of colorectal cancer stages and provide an interpretable, efficient deep learning-based diagnostic tool to support pathologists.

Multi-omics unravel heterogeneity of glucose metabolism reprogramming in gastric cancer. (PubMed, Clin Exp Med)
Critically, tumor suppressor SH3BP1 (a key regulator) correlates with reduced tumor progression and enhanced CD8+ T cell anti-tumor immunity when highly expressed. These findings underscore that SH3BP1 may represent a promising therapeutic target for precise intervention in GMS-immune interactions in GC.
