TL;DR

It is found that the oncogenic effect of mutant p53 in vivo is dependent on the tumor immune microenvironment, and restoration of ALKBH5 activation or inhibition of the m6A modification-YTHDF3 axis could potentially reactivate immune surveillance and eliminate tumors harboring mut-p53.

Mutant p53 Gain-of-Function and Immune Suppression: Mathematical Modeling of STING-TBK1-IRF3 Axis Restoration for Enhanced Cancer Therapy.

Cancer progression is frequently driven by mutations in the tumor suppressor gene TP53. These mutations cause the protein to lose its normal growth-inhibitory functions and acquire new properties that promote tumor development and immune evasion. Recent experimental studies show that mutant p53 (mutp53) suppresses the...

Opportunities in cancer gene therapy: inhibiting MDM2 and restoring p14ARF as a means to activate p53.

The MDM2/p53/p14ARF axis represents a central regulatory network controlling cell-cycle progression, genomic stability, and tumor suppression, and is frequently deregulated in human cancers. In many malignancies, particularly those retaining wild-type TP53, p53 activity is functionally suppressed through MDM2 overexpre...

KDM4B-mediated AP2A1-K217 demethylation promotes immune evasion and anti-PD-1 therapy resistance in renal cell carcinoma

The role of non-histone lysine methylation in tumorigenesis has attracted increasing attention, and the dysregulated “writers”, “erasers” and “readers” of it are promising therapeutic targets. In this study, we demonstrated that lysine-specific demethylase 4B (KDM4B) was significantly upregulated in renal cell carc...

Targeting the PRMT5-CBX8 axis overcomes dual barriers of CD8⁺ T cell exclusion and tumor stemness for sensitizing TNBC to anti-PD-1 therapy

A novel epigenetic pathway orchestrated by PRMT5 that converges on the functional modulation of CBX8 to synchronously governs CD8⁺ T cell exclusion and tumor stemness is unveiled, nominating PRMT5 inhibition as a compelling therapeutic strategy for combination immunotherapy in TNBC.

Abstract B099: Tumor progression locus 2 kinase drives pancreatic cancer immune evasion through a MYBL2-CXCL10 signaling axis

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is characterized by a chronically inflamed tumor microenvironment (TME) driven by persistent activation of innate inflammatory signaling. Tumor progression locus 2 (TPL2; MAP3K8) is a serine/threonine kinase downstream of KRAS that activates both MAPK and NF-κB signaling; howev...
