JAK inhibition in PD-1 immunotherapy and tumor microenvironment.

Targeting the programmed cell death 1 (PD-1)/PD-L1 axis has revolutionized cancer therapy; however, the durability of clinical responses is frequently compromised by chronic inflammation and an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). The Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) signaling pathway serves as a central intracellular node integrating cytokine signals that drive these resistance mechanisms. While physiological JAK/STAT signaling is essential for antitumor immunity, its persistent aberrant activation promotes malignant progression, upregulates

The Role of Fc-like Receptor 3 in the Pathophysiology of Rheumatoid Arthritis.

The pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis involves a complex interplay of genetic predisposition, environmental factors, and autoimmune mechanisms that lead to chronic inflammation of the synovial membrane. Fc-like receptor 3 (FcRL3) is a receptor encoded by the FCRL3 gene, located on the long arm of chromosome 1 at 1q23.1. Polymorphisms in the promoter region of FCRL3, rather than elsewhere in the gene, primarily affect the level of protein expression, which is of clinical significance. Understanding the structure of FcRL3, particularly in the context of genetic variants, is therefore importan

Primary Bone Lymphoma: A Review of the Literature with Emphasis on Histopathology and Histogenesis.

Primary bone lymphoma (PBL) is a rare neoplasm of malignant lymphoid cells presenting with one or more bone lesions without nodal or other extranodal involvement. It accounts for approximately 1% of all lymphomas and 7% of malignant primary bone tumors. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), not otherwise specified (NOS) represents the predominant histological type and constitutes over 80% of all cases. PBL may occur at all ages with a typical diagnosis age of 45-60 years and a slight male predominance. Local bone pain, soft tissue edema, palpable mass and pathological fracture are the most co

The Link Between the Gut Microbiome and Bone Metastasis.

The gut microbiome is essential for regulating host metabolism, defending against pathogens, and shaping the host's immune system. Mounting evidence highlights that disruption in gut microbial communities significantly impacts cancer development and treatment. Moreover, tumor-associated microbiota, along with its metabolites and toxins, may contribute to cancer progression by promoting epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, angiogenesis, and metastatic spread to distant organs. Bones, in particular, are common sites for metastasis due to a rich supply of growth and neovascularization factors an

Anticancer natural products from the Middle East and North Africa: biodiversity, mechanisms, and translational challenges.

Cancer remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, imposing substantial clinical, societal, and economic burdens. Despite major advances in surgical oncology, systemic chemotherapy, radiation therapy, molecularly targeted therapeutics, and immune checkpoint inhibition, contemporary cancer treatment remains constrained by dose-limiting toxicities, intratumoral and intertumoral heterogeneity, and the inexorable emergence of multifaceted drug resistance mechanisms. These persistent therapeutic challenges have reinstated interest in natural products (NPs) as evolutionar

Wnt signaling in multiple myeloma: a central player in disease with therapeutic potential.

Multiple myeloma is the second most frequent hematological malignancy in the western world and remains incurable, predominantly due to acquired drug resistance and disease relapse. The highly conserved Wnt signal transduction pathway, which plays a key role in regulating cellular processes of proliferation, differentiation, migration, and stem cell self-renewal, is associated with multiple aspects of disease. Bone homeostasis is severely disturbed by Wnt antagonists that are secreted by the malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow. In the vast majority of patients, this results in osteolytic

HIV-Associated Lymphomas: Updates from Pathogenesis to Treatment Strategies.

HIV-associated lymphoma (HAL) is an aggressive malignancy directly linked to HIV infection and accounts for more than 30% of cancer-related deaths in people living with HIV (PLWH). HAL subtypes, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), Burkitt lymphoma (BL), primary effusion lymphoma (PEL), and plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL), exhibit five to ten times higher incidence rates and distinct molecular profiles compared to HIV-negative lymphomas. Pathogenesis involves HIV-driven CD4+ T-cell depletion, chronic B-cell activation, and oncogenic viral coinfection. First-line therapy combines antir

The Challenging Approach to Multiple Myeloma: From Disease Diagnosis and Monitoring to Complications Management.

Targeting SREBP-2-Regulated Mevalonate Metabolism for Cancer Therapy.

Recently, targeting metabolic reprogramming has emerged as a potential therapeutic approach for fighting cancer. Sterol regulatory element binding protein-2 (SREBP-2), a basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper transcription factor, mainly regulates genes involved in cholesterol biosynthesis and homeostasis. SREBP-2 binds to the sterol regulatory elements (SREs) in the promoters of its target genes and activates the transcription of mevalonate pathway genes, such as HMG-CoA reductase (HMGCR), mevalonate kinase and other key enzymes. In this review, we first summarized the structure of SREBP-2 and
