BACKGROUND: Enzalutamide, a second-generation androgen receptor (AR) pathway inhibitor, is widely used in the treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer. However, after a period of enzalutamide treatment, patients inevitably develop drug resistance. In this study, we characterized leucine-rich repeated G-protein-coupled receptor 5 (LGR5) and explored its potential therapeutic value in prostate cancer. METHODS: A total of 142 pairs of tumor and adjacent formalin-fixed paraf-fin-embedded tissue samples from patients with prostate cancer were collected from the Pathology Department at Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hos-pital. LGR5 was screened by sequencing data of enzalutamide-resistant cell lines combined with sequencing data of lesions with different Gleason scores from the same patients. The biological function of LGR5 and its effect on enzalutamide resistance were investigated in vitro and in vivo . Glutathione-S-transferase (GST) pull-down, coimmunoprecipitation, Western blotting, and immunofluorescence assays were used to explore the specific binding mechanism of LGR5 and related pathway changes. RESULTS: LGR5 was significantly upregulated in prostate cancer and negatively correlated with poor patient prognosis. Overexpression of LGR5 promoted the malignant progression of prostate cancer and reduced sensitivity to enzalutamide in vitro and in vivo . LGR5 promoted the phosphorylation of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) by binding heat shock protein 90,000 alpha B1 (HSP90AB1) and mediated the activation of the Wingless/integrated (WNT)/β-catenin signaling pathway. The increased β-catenin in the cytoplasm entered the nucleus and bound to the nuclear AR, promoting the transcription level of AR, which led to the enhanced tolerance of prostate cancer to enzalutamide. Reducing HSP90AB1 binding to LGR5 significantly enhanced sensitivity to enzalutamide. CONCLUSIONS LGR5 directly binds to HSP90AB1 and mediates GSK-3β phosphorylation, promoting AR expression by regulating the WNT/β-catenin signaling pathway, thereby conferring resistance to enzalutamide treatment in prostate cancer.

BACKGROUND: Temozolomide (TMZ) resistance is a significant challenge in treating glioblastoma (GBM). Collagen remodeling has been shown to be a critical factor for therapy resistance in other cancers. This study aimed to investigate the mechanism of TMZ chemoresistance by GBM cells reprogramming collagens. METHODS: Key extracellular matrix components, including collagens, were examined in paired primary and recurrent GBM samples as well as in TMZ-treated spontaneous and grafted GBM murine models. Human GBM cell lines (U251, TS667) and mouse primary GBM cells were used for in vitro studies. RNA-sequencing analysis, chromatin immunoprecipitation, immunoprecipitation-mass spectrometry, and co-immunoprecipitation assays were conducted to explore the mechanisms involved in collagen accumulation. A series of in vitro and in vivo experiments were designed to assess the role of the collagen regulators prolyl 4-hydroxylase subunit alpha 1 (P4HA1) and yes-associated protein (YAP) in sensitizing GBM cells to TMZ. RESULTS: This study revealed that TMZ exposure significantly elevated collagen type I (COL I) expression in both GBM patients and murine models. Collagen accumulation sustained GBM cell survival under TMZ-induced stress, contributing to enhanced TMZ resistance. Mechanistically, P4HA1 directly binded to and hydroxylated YAP, preventing ubiquitination-mediated YAP degradation. Stabilized YAP robustly drove collagen type I alpha 1 ( COL1A1) transcription, leading to increased collagen deposition. Disruption of the P4HA1-YAP axis effectively reduced COL I deposition, sensitized GBM cells to TMZ, and significantly improved mouse survival. CONCLUSION P4HA1 maintained YAP-mediated COL1A1 transcription, leading to collagen accumulation and promoting chemoresistance in GBM.

The Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog ( KRAS ) mutation is one of the most prevalent activating alterations in cancer. It indicates a poor overall prognosis due to its highly invasive nature. Although several KRAS inhibitors have been developed in recent years, a significant clinical challenge has emerged as a substantial proportion of patients eventually develop resistance to these therapies. Therefore, identifying determinants of drug resistance is critical for guiding treatment strategies. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the mutation landscape and molecular mechanisms of KRAS activity in various cancers. Meanwhile, it summaries the progress and prospects of small molecule KRAS inhibitors undergoing clinical trials. Furthemore, this review explores potential strategies to overcome drug resistance, with the ultimate goal of steering toward patient-centric precision oncology in the foreseeable future.

Objective To study the impacts of curcumin on the proliferation, migration and cisplatin (DDP) resistance of bladder cancer cells by regulating the liver kinase B1-AMP activated protein kinase-microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LKB1-AMPK-LC3) signaling pathway. Methods Human bladder cancer cell line T24 was cultured in vitro, and its DDP resistant T24/DDP cells were induced by cisplatin (DDP). After treating T24 and T24/DDP cells with different concentrations of curcumin, the optimal concentration of curcumin was screened by MTT assay. T24 cells were randomly grouped into control group, curcumin group, metformin group, and combination group of curcumin and metformin. After treatment with curcumin and LKB1-AMPK activator metformin, the proliferation, autophagy, migration, and apoptosis of T24 cells in each group were detected by MTT assay, monodansylcadavrine (MDC) fluorescence staining, cell scratch assay, and flow cytometry, respectively. Western blot was used to detect the expression of proteins related to LKB1-AMPK-LC3 signaling pathway in T24 cells of each group. T24/DDP cells were randomly assigned into control group, curcumin group, metformin group, and combination group of curcumin and metformin. Cells were treated with curcumin and metformin according to grouping and treated with different concentrations of DDP simultaneously. Then, the effect of curcumin on the DDP resistance coefficient of T24/DDP cells was detected by MTT assay. T24/DDP cells were randomly grouped into control group, DDP group, combination groups of DDP and curcumin, DDP and metformin, DDP, curcumin and metformi. After treatment with DDP, curcumin, and metformin, the proliferation, autophagy, migration, apoptosis, drug resistance, and the expression of proteins related to LKB1-AMPK-LC3 signaling pathway in T24/DDP cells of each group were detected with the same methods. Results Compared with the control group, the activity of T24 cells, relative number of autophagosomes, migration rate, Phosphorylated-LKB1 (p-LKB1)/LKB1, Phosphorylated-AMPK (p-AMPK)/AMPK, LC3II/LC3I, and the DDP resistance coefficient of T24/DDP cells in the curcumin group were lower, and the apoptosis rate of T24 cells was higher; the changes in various indicators in the metformin group were opposite to those in the curcumin group. Compared with the curcumin group, the activity of T24 cells, relative number of autophagosomes, migration rate, p-LKB1/LKB1, p-AMPK/AMPK, LC3II/LC3I, and the DDP resistance coefficient of T24/DDP cells in the combination group of curcumin and metformin were higher, and the apoptosis rate of T24 cells was lower. Compared with the control group, there were no obvious changes in various indicators of T24/DDP cells in the DDP group. Compared with the control group and DDP group, the viability of T24/DDP cells, relative number of autophagosomes, migration rate, P-glycoprotein (P-gp) protein expression, p-LKB1/LKB1, p-AMPK/AMPK, and LC3II/LC3I in the combination group of DDP and curcumin were lower, and the apoptosis rate of T24/DDP cells was higher; the changes in the above indicators in the combination group of DDP and metformin were opposite to those in the combination group of DDP and curcumin. Compared with the combination group of DDP and curcumin, the viability of T24/DDP cells, relative number of autophagosomes, migration rate, P-gp protein expression, p-LKB1/LKB1, p-AMPK/AMPK, and LC3II/LC3I in the combination group of DDP, curcumin and metformin were higher, and the apoptosis rate of T24/DDP cells was lower. Conclusion Curcumin can reduce the activity of LKB1-AMPK-LC3 signaling pathway, thereby inhibiting autophagy, proliferation and migration of bladder cancer cells, promoting their apoptosis, and weakening their resistance to DDP.

Objective To investigate the effect of basic helix-loop-helix family member E40 (BHLHE40) on the invasion and migration of osteosarcoma (OS) cells, and to explore the role of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/AKT) signaling pathway in the biological behavior of OS mediated by BHLHE40, providing a scientific basis for targeted therapy of OS. Methods On the basis of clinical OS samples and OS cell lines, the expression differences of BHLHE40 between OS and adjacent tissues, as well as those between OS cells and normal osteoblast cell lines, were analyzed. BHLHE40 knockdown OS cells were obtained through shRNA transfection. The effects of BHLHE40 on OS cell proliferation, migration, and invasion were examined using CCK-8, EdU staining, wound healing, and Transwell assays. The involvement of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway was assessed by Western blotting. Further validation was conducted in vivo experiments. Results The expression of BHLHE40 was significantly higher in OS tissues compared to adjacent tissues. In OS cell lines, BHLHE40 protein expression levels were increased compared to normal osteoblasts, and the cell line with the highest BHLHE40 expression was selected for subsequent knockdown experiments. Compared with the knockdown control group, the BHLHE40 knockdown group exhibited reduced cell viability, EdU-positive cell count, colony number, cell migration, and invasion abilities, along with downregulation of phosphorylated PI3K(p-PI3K)/PI3K and p-AKT/AKT protein expression. The aforementioned functions of BHLHE40 were also reproduced in in vivo experiments. Conclusion BHLHE40 is highly expressed in OS tissues, and its knockdown can significantly inhibit OS cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, while reducing PI3K/AKT signaling pathway activity. This suggests that BHLHE40 could serve as a novel therapeutic target for OS.

Objective To explore the mechanism of TPT1-AS1 targeting miR-324/TWIST1 axis to regulate the proliferation, invasion, migration and angiogenesis of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) cells, thereby affecting ovarian cancer (OC) progression. Methods RT-qPCR was used to detect the expression of TPT1-AS1 and miR-324 in 29 OC lesions and adjacent tissue samples. The two OC cell models of TPT1-AS1 overexpression and miRNA324 knockdown were constructed, and the cell proliferation, invasion and migration abilities were detected by CCK-8, Transwell^TM and scratch test. Western blot analysis was used to detect the protein expression levels of TWIST1, epithelial cadherin (E-cadherin), Vimentin, and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) in OC cells. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and RNA pull-down experiments were used to verify the interaction between TPT1-AS1 and miR-324. Immunohistochemistry and Targetscan bioinformatics analysis were used to verify the negative regulatory role of miR-324 in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process. Results The TPT1-AS1 expression was significantly higher in OC tissues than that in para-cancerous tissues, while the miR-324 expression was significantly lower. In SKOV3 cells with TPT1-AS1 overexpression, the miR-324 expression decreased significantly, and TPT1-AS1 was negatively correlated with miR-324. It was also found that TPT1-AS1 and miR-324 were co-expressed in OC cells, and there was a direct binding relationship between them. Down-regulation of miR-324 significantly promoted the proliferation, invasion and migration of SKOV3 cells. Further studies revealed that miR-324 had a binding site at the 3'-UTR end of the TWIST1, a key transcription factor for EMT. Inhibiting miR-324 expression increased the transcription level of TWIST1, leading to a decrease in E-cadherin protein expression and an increase in Vimentin protein expression. Additionally, the downregulation of miR-324 resulted in an increased expression level of VEGF-A protein, which in turn enhanced angiogenesis of OC. Conclusion TPT1-AS1 promotes EOC cell proliferation, invasion, migration and angiogenesis by negatively regulating the miR-324/TWIST1 axis, thus promoting the development of OC. These findings provide new potential targets for the diagnosis and treatment of OC.

BACKGROUND: Abnormalities of the switch/sucrose nonfermentable (SWI/SNF) chromatin-remodeling complex are closely related to various cancers, and ARID1B (AT-rich interaction domain 1B) is one of the core subunits of the SWI/SNF complex. Mutations or copy number deletions of the ARID1B gene are associated with impaired DNA damage response and altered chromatin accessibility. However, whether ARID1B deficiency affects the proliferation, migration and invasion abilities of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells and its molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study aims to reveal the regulatory role of ARID1B gene deletion on the malignant phenotype of NSCLC cells and its molecular mechanism. METHODS: Online databases were used to analyze the relationship between ARID1B and the prognosis of patients with lung cancer, and the expression levels of ARID1B in lung cancer tissues. The CRISPR/Cas9 (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat) technology was employed to construct stable ARID1B gene knockout (KO) cell lines. The plate colony formation assay was used to detect cell proliferation, and the Transwell cell migration and invasion assays were used to detect changes in cell migration ability. RNA-Seq was utilized for the expression and enrichment analysis of differentially expressed genes. Western blot (WB) was used to verify the knockout effect of the ARID1B gene and to detect the expression changes of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) signaling pathway-related proteins. Nude mouse tumor models were constructed and the tumorigenic abilities of control and ARID1B-deficient cells were compared. RESULTS: Patients with low ARID1B expression have poor overall survival. ARID1B is differentially expressed in lung cancer and normal tissues, and its expression level being lower in cancer cells. ARID1B-deficient cells had significantly enhanced in vitro proliferation, migration and invasion abilities. In animal experiments, the tumor formation speed of ARID1B gene deficient cells was significantly accelerated. Enrichment analysis of RNA-Seq results revealed that the differentially expressed genes were mainly enriched in MAPK, phosphoinositide 3-kinase-protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) and other signaling pathways. WB experiments demonstrated that the expressions of E-cadherin, N-cadherin and Vimentin changed in ARID1B gene deficient cells, and the expressions of MAPK and p-MAPK was increased. CONCLUSIONS The A549-ARID1B KO and PC9-ARID1B KO cell lines were successfully established. The ARID1B-deficient cell lines demonstrated high migration, invasion and proliferation potential at both in vitro and in vivo biological behavior levels and at the transcriptome sequencing level. The changes in the expression of EMT markers and the activation of the MAPK signaling pathway suggest possible metastasis mechanisms of ARID1B-deficient NSCLC.

OBJECTIVES: Oxaliplatin (OXA) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) are 2 commonly used chemotherapeutic agents for colorectal cancer (CRC). MicroRNAs (miRNAs, miRs) play crucial roles in the development of chemoresistance in various cancers. However, the role and mechanism of miR-224-5p in regulating CRC chemoresistance remain unclear. This study aims to investigate the function of miR-224-5p in chemoresistant CRC cells and the underlying mechanisms. METHODS: CRC datasets GSE28702 and GSE69657 were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Differentially expressed miRNAs between drug-sensitive and resistant groups (OXA or 5-FU) were analyzed, and miR-224-5p was identified as the target miRNA. Chemoresistant cell lines HCT15-OXR, HCT15-5-FU, SW480-OXR, and SW480-5-FU were established. Transient transfections were performed using miR-224-5p mimics, inhibitors, and their respective negative controls (control mimic, control inhibitor) in these cell lines. Cells were treated with different concentrations of OXA or 5-FU post-transfection, and the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀) was determined using the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. Cell proliferation was assessed by CCK-8 and colony formation assays. The expression levels of miR-224-5p, LC3, and P62 were measured by real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR) and/or Western blotting. Autophagic flux was assessed using a tandem fluorescent-tagged LC3 reporter assay. TargetScan 8.0, miRTarBase, miRPathDB, and HADb were used to predict B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) as a potential miR-244-5p target, which was further validated by dual-luciferase reporter assays. RESULTS: Chemoresistant CRC cells exhibited down-regulated miR-224-5p expression, whereas up-regulation of miR-224-5p enhanced chemotherapy sensitivity. Exposure to OXA or 5-FU significantly increased autophagic activity in chemoresistant CRC cells, which was reversed by miR-224-5p overexpression. Dual-luciferase assays verified Bcl-2 as a direct target of miR-224-5p. CONCLUSIONS MiR-224-5p regulates chemoresistance in CRC by modulating autophagy through direct targeting of Bcl-2.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effect of downregulation of medium-chain acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase (ACADM) on invasion and migration of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer cells and the underlying mechanism. METHODS: The Kaplan-Meier Plotter database was used to analyze the ACADM expression levels in breast cancer and normal tissues and their association with patient prognosis. Human breast cancer MCF-7 and T47D cell lines with lentivirus-mediated ACADM knockdown were established, and their in situ tumor formation and metastasis after tail vein injection were evaluated in nude mice. The MCF-7 and T47D cells with ACADM knockdown and their unmodified parental cells were examined with oil-red O staining assay, ROS assay, mitochondrial respiratory chain function assay before and after treatments with ROS scavenger, Elamipretide (a cardiolipin oxidation inhibitor) or SC79 (an AKT activator), and the changes in migration and invasion abilities of the treated cells were analyzed with Transwell invasion assay and Boyden chamber assay. Western blotting was used to detect protein expression levels of related signaling pathways in the treated cells. RESULTS: ACADM overexpression was associated with a significantly shorter overall survival of breast cancer patients. In MCF-7 and T47D cells, ACADM knockdown resulted in downregulation of N calnexin, vimentin, p-P13K and p-AKT proteins, increased levels of free fatty acids and reactive oxygen species, lowered activities of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex III and V, and reduced mitochondrial inner phospholipids. ACADM knockdown significantly decreased the invasive capacity of the cells, which were obviously reversed by treatment with ROS scavenger, Elamipretide, and SC79. CONCLUSIONS Down-regulation of ACADM inhibits migration and invasion ability of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer cells by lowering lipotoxicity and impairing mitochondrial function through the ROS/PI3K/AKT pathway.

OBJECTIVES: To study the effect of CDC20 knockdown on proliferation, migration and invasion of cervical cancer cells and its underlying mechanism. METHODS: CDC20 expression in cervical cancer tissues was analyzed using the TCGA database, and the protein expressions of CDC20 and β-Catenin in clinical specimens of cervical cancer and adjacent tissues were detected using immunohistochemistry. A dual target sgRNA2&7 sequence for CDC20 gene was designed for CDC20 gene knockdown in cervical cancer C33A cells using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, and CDC20 mRNA and protein expression levels in the transfected cells were detected using qRT-PCR and Western blotting. The changes in proliferation, cell cycle, apoptosis, migration and invasiveness of the transfected cells were evaluated using colony-forming assay, fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) and Transwell assay. In the animal experiment, naïve C33A cells and the cells with CDC20 knockdown were injected subcutaneously into the left and right axillae of nude mice (n=5) to observe tumor growth. The expressions of CDC20 and β-Catenin proteins in transfected cells and the xenograft were analyzed using Western blotting, and their interaction was confirmed by co-immunoprecipitation (CoIP) and immunofluorescence co-localization assays. RESULTS: Cervical cancer tissues expressed significantly higher CDC20 and β‑Catenin levels than the adjacent tissues. C33A cells with CDC20 knockdown showed reduced proliferation, increased apoptosis, and lowered migration and invasion abilities. CDC20 knockdown significantly suppressed the growth of C33A cell xenograft in nude mice, and the tumor-bearing mice did not exhibit obvious body mass changes. CDC20 and β-Catenin levels were both significantly lowered in C33A cells with CDC20 knockdown. Co-immunoprecipitation and co-localization assays confirmed the interaction between CDC20 and β‑Catenin. CONCLUSIONS CDC20 is highly expressed in cervical cancer tissues, and CDC20 knockdown can suppress proliferation, invasion, and metastasis while enhancing apoptosis of C33A cells, which is closely related with the regulation of the Wnt/β-Catenin signaling pathway.
