Epigenetic inactivation of COL4A4 orchestrates JAK2/STAT3-driven progression and microenvironment reprogramming in renal cell carcinoma.

COL4A4 acts as a methylation-silenced RCC tumor suppressor that negatively modulates JAK2/STAT3 signaling and correlates with TME features, representing a potential epigenetic therapeutic target.

RBM25 Drives Hepatocellular Carcinoma Progression by Stabilizing YAP Through Regulating Oncogenic Splicing‐switch of MYPT1

This work identifies RNA‐binding motif protein 25 (RBM25) as a potent oncogenic driver that is overexpressed in HCC and correlates with dismal patient prognosis and nominate RBM25 as a viable prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target.

KDM1A/HDAC2-driven epigenetic dysregulation maintains a drug-resistant, relapse-initiating glioblastoma cell niche at the peri-tumoral margin.

It is indicated that MPT0G521 disrupts the G2/M activation and mitotic machinery, thereby suppressing proliferative and resistant GBM subpopulations and holding strong promise for overcoming GBM heterogeneity and reducing recurrence.

ZBTB10 inhibits ccRCC progression by epigenetically silencing GPX4 through a self-regulatory ZBTB10/DNMT1/FBXW4 loop

ZBTB10 is identified as a suppressor of ccRCC progression that transcriptionally represses GPX4, a central inhibitor of ferroptosis and an epigenetic mechanism linking ZBTB10 to ferroptosis in ccRCC is revealed and targeting the ZBTB10/DNMT1/FBXW4/GPX4 axis may provide a therapeutic strategy for limiting ccRCC progress...

ZEB1 directly activates IL-6 to promote triple-negative breast cancer stemness in an epigenetically constrained context

The findings establish the ZEB1–IL-6 axis as an important regulator of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) stemness and indicate that ZEB1-dependent IL-6 activation is influenced by the local epigenetic context, which supports further investigation of the ZEB1-high TNBC.
