[Netherton syndrome: weakened immunity, generalized verrucosis and carcinogenesis].

Two patients with Netherton's syndrome are presented who, in addition to the classical triad of trichorrhexis invaginata, ichthyosis linearis circumflexa and atopy, exhibit signs of reduced cellular immunity (negative skin tests to a battery of microbial antigens, impaired stimulation of lymphocytes with various mitogens and widespread viral warts resembling epidermodysplasia verruciformis). One patient had a squamous cell carcinoma possibly arising from a viral wart. It is suggested that Netherton's syndrome is part of the group of immunodeficiency syndromes with atopy-like symptoms.

A novel rasH2 mouse carcinogenesis model that is highly susceptible to 4-NQO-induced tongue and esophageal carcinogenesis is useful for preclinical chemoprevention studies.

We investigated the susceptibility of 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide (4-NQO)-induced tongue carcinogenesis in male CB6F1-Tg-rasH2 @Jcl mice (Tg mice). The Tg mice were administered 4-NQO (20 p.p.m. in drinking water) for 2, 4, 6 or 8 weeks, and thereafter they were untreated up to week 24. At week 24, a higher incidence (80%) of tongue neoplasm with dysplasia was noted in the mice that received 4-NQO for 8 weeks in comparison with the other groups (20% incidence for each) treated with 4-NQO for 2, 4 and 6 weeks. Esophageal tumors also developed in the Tg mice were 4-NQO. Immunohistochemical observat…

Colitis-associated colorectal carcinogenesis: molecular mechanisms and therapeutic potential.

Chronic colitis is a major risk factor for colorectal cancer (CRC), particularly for colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC), where persistent inflammation drives the transition from mucosal injury to malignant transformation. Accumulating evidence indicates that gut microbiota dysbiosis, epithelial barrier disruption, microbial translocation, chronic immune activation, and aberrant inflammatory signaling collectively contribute to CAC initiation and progression. Sustained inflammation promotes oxidative stress, DNA damage, genetic/epigenetic alterations, and tumor microenvironment remodeli

Dynamic uterine microenvironment drives endometrial adenocarcinoma carcinogenesis and progression.

Endometrial cancer (EC) development is driven by the interaction between the tumor and the microenvironment. However, the immune microenvironment dynamics during this process are not clear. Here, we applied single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to uterine blood samples collected at hysterectomy from 15 individuals encompassing four groups-benign controls, endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia (EIN), the transition from EIN to carcinoma, and EC. Uterine blood, obtained without prior enrichment, provides a liquid biopsy of the local tumor milieu, enabling high-resolution profiling of both immun

Hemozoin-induced immunomodulation and prostate carcinogenesis: mechanisms and implications.

Hemozoin (Hz) is a crystalline by-product, which is produced when the Plasmodium species destroy haemoglobin, and it is commonly recognised that it leads to how our bodies respond to malaria. Although we understand pretty well its immunological actions in infectious diseases, recent research indicates that chronic exposure to Hz may actually cause cancer by sustaining inflammation and altering the immune system. In this review, we examines how the relationship between the hemozoin induced immune changes contribute to prostate cancer development arises. The presence of Hz within the macrophages

RHOXF1/TSGA10 axis: a possible molecular mechanism of carcinogenesis.

TSGA10 has recently been highlighted as an important factor in spermatogenesis with critical roles during sperm maturation. Although up-regulation of TSGA10 expression in early stages and its down-regulation in advanced stages of some cancers has already been demonstrated, the regulatory mechanism governing its expression has not yet been elucidated. RHOXF1 transcription factor is known to be a cancer/testis antigen with vital roles in spermatogenesis. Besides, both RHOXF1 and TSGA10 are cancer/testis antigens that are involved in the carcinogenic processes. Given that RHOXF1 is a transcriptio

DNA methylation biomarkers associated with early gastric cardia carcinogenesis.

Gastric cardia cancer (GCC) is an aggressive malignancy with poor prognosis, underscoring the need for better characterization of molecular alterations during early gastric cardia carcinogenesis. This study aimed to identify and validate tissue-based DNA methylation markers associated with early precancerous and neoplastic lesions of the gastric cardia. We integrated genome-wide DNA methylation data (850 K array) from 69 gastric cardia samples, including normal mucosa (n = 22), intestinal metaplasia (IM, n = 32), intraepithelial neoplasia (IEN, n = 7), and GCC (n = 8). Differential methylation…

Reframing early gastric carcinogenesis through lineage, niche, and evolution.

Early gastric cancer is still commonly conceptualized as the endpoint of a linear sequence from chronic gastritis to intestinal metaplasia, dysplasia, and invasion. Yet recent single-cell, spatial, genomic, and functional studies indicate that this model incompletely captures the biology of early gastric carcinogenesis. Malignant potential is established progressively within a precancerous gastric field already shaped by somatic evolution, chronic inflammatory injury, and epithelial lineage distortion. Within this field, progression is concentrated in a restricted set of precursor states, part…

Unraveling nitrosamine-induced carcinogenesis: toxicological aspects and molecular insights.

Nitrosamines are a broad class of chemical compounds that are generally produced when amine congeners react with nitrosating substances, occasionally with nitrites present. Tobacco smoke, processed foods, certain medications, and industrial environments are among the many places in the environment where these substances are present. Because of their strong genotoxic and mutagenic properties, N-nitroso compounds-in particular, N-nitrosamines-have sparked worries about world safety. This review emphasizes nitrosamines' chemical interactions, metabolism, carcinogenic processes, control, and risk

How chronic inflammation fuels carcinogenesis as an environmental epimutagen.

Chronic inflammation, induced by environmental and intrinsic factors, frequently leads to carcinogenesis. In inflammation-associated cancers, such as gastric, colon, and cervical cancers, an important role of epigenetic alterations has been implicated. Such epigenetic alterations include aberrant DNA methylation and histone modifications, some of which can permanently alter cellular characteristics and predispose cells to malignant transformation. Even in normal-appearing tissues, high levels of aberrant DNA methylation can be present, with these levels correlating to future cancer risk. The m…

To elucidate the role of Col7 and its diagnostic potential during oral carcinogenesis. Col7 expression was immunohistochemically studied in 254 samples, including normal oral mucosa (NM), OL without dysplasia, OL with dysplasia, and OSCC. The correlation between Col7 expres…

Infiltration Patterns of Cervical Epithelial Microenvironment Cells During Carcinogenesis.

BACKGROUND: Local cellular microenvironment plays a crucial role in the HPV-induced cervical malignant transformation. Characterization of the dynamic infiltration changes of microenvironment cells during cervical carcinogenesis would contribute to a better understanding of involved mechanisms. METHODS: Three public gene expression datasets of cervical squamous epithelium samples were collected and combined. We applied seven up-to-date computational methods for infiltrating estimation and compared their results (CD4+ and CD8+ T cells) to the known fraction. After benchmarking the applied meth…

Cell and Tissue Nanomechanics: From Early Development to Carcinogenesis.

Cell and tissue nanomechanics, being inspired by progress in high-resolution physical mapping, has recently burst into biomedical research, discovering not only new characteristics of normal and diseased tissues, but also unveiling previously unknown mechanisms of pathological processes. Some parallels can be drawn between early development and carcinogenesis. Early embryogenesis, up to the blastocyst stage, requires a soft microenvironment and internal mechanical signals induced by the contractility of the cortical actomyosin cytoskeleton, stimulating quick cell divisions. During further deve…

Apigenin Inhibits IL-6 Transcription and Suppresses Esophageal Carcinogenesis.

Esophagus cancer is the seventh cause of cancer-related deaths globally. In this study, we analyzed interleukin 6 (IL-6) gene expression in human esophagus cancer patients and showed that IL-6 mRNA levels are significantly higher in tumor tissues and negatively correlated with overall survival, suggesting that IL-6 is a potential therapeutic target for esophagus cancer. We further demonstrated that apigenin, a nature flavone product of green plants, inhibited IL-6 transcription and gene expression in human esophagus cancer Eca-109 and Kyse-30 cells. Apigenin significantly and dose-dependently
