The Dual Role of Autophagy in Crizotinib-Treated ALK+ ALCL: From the Lymphoma Cells Drug Resistance to Their Demise.

Autophagy has been described as harboring a dual role in cancer development and therapy. Depending on the context, it can exert either pro-survival or pro-death functions. Here, we review what is known about autophagy in crizotinib-treated ALK+ ALCL. We first present our main findings on the role and regulation of autophagy in these cells. Then, we provide literature-driven hypotheses that could explain mechanistically the pro-survival properties of autophagy in crizotinib-treated bulk and stem-like ALK+ ALCL cells. Finally, we discuss how the potentiation of autophagy, which occurs with combi

FN14 and GRP94 expression are prognostic/predictive biomarkers of brain metastasis outcome that open up new therapeutic strategies.

Brain metastasis is a devastating problem in patients with breast, lung and melanoma tumors. GRP94 and FN14 are predictive biomarkers over-expressed in primary breast carcinomas that metastasized in brain. To further validate these brain metastasis biomarkers, we performed a multicenter study including 318 patients with breast carcinomas. Among these patients, there were 138 patients with metastasis, of whom 84 had brain metastasis. The likelihood of developing brain metastasis increased by 5.24-fold (95%CI 2.83-9.71) and 2.55- (95%CI 1.52-4.3) in the presence of FN14 and GRP94, respectively.

Pernicious Anemia: The Hematological Presentation of a Multifaceted Disorder Caused by Cobalamin Deficiency.

Pernicious anemia is still a neglected disorder in many medical contexts and is underdiagnosed in many patients. Pernicious anemia is linked to but different from autoimmune gastritis. Pernicious anemia occurs in a later stage of autoimmune atrophic gastritis when gastric intrinsic factor deficiency and consequent vitamin B12 deficiency may occur. The multifaceted nature of pernicious anemia is related to the important role of cobalamin, which, when deficient, may lead to several dysfunctions, and thus, the proteiform clinical presentations of pernicious anemia. Indeed, pernicious anemia may l

Pluripotent Stem Cells for Disease Modeling and Drug Discovery in Niemann-Pick Type C1.

The lysosomal storage disorders Niemann-Pick disease Type C1 (NPC1) and Type C2 (NPC2) are rare diseases caused by mutations in the NPC1 or NPC2 gene. Both NPC1 and NPC2 are proteins responsible for the exit of cholesterol from late endosomes and lysosomes (LE/LY). Consequently, mutations in one of the two proteins lead to the accumulation of unesterified cholesterol and glycosphingolipids in LE/LY, displaying a disease hallmark. A total of 95% of cases are due to a deficiency of NPC1 and only 5% are caused by NPC2 deficiency. Clinical manifestations include neurological symptoms and systemic

Contribution of immune cells to bone metastasis pathogenesis.

Bone metastasis is closely related to the survival rate of cancer patients and reduces their quality of life. The bone marrow microenvironment contains a complex immune cell component with a local microenvironment that is conducive to tumor formation and growth. In this unique immune environment, a variety of immune cells, including T cells, natural killer cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, and myeloid-derived suppressor cells, participate in the process of bone metastasis. In this review, we will introduce the interactions between immune cells and cancer cells in the bone microenvironment,

Heterogeneous tissue-specific macrophages orchestrate metastatic organotropism of breast cancer: implications for promising therapeutics.

Compelling evidences have manifested that breast cancer cells prefer to metastasize to certain distant organs, including brain, lung, bone and liver. According to the canonical "seed and soil" theory, this prominent biological behavior, termed as metastatic organotropism, involves intricate interactions between breast cancer cells (the "seeds") and specific residents in the tumor microenvironment (the "soil"), initiating from pre-metastatic niche formation to metastatic outgrowth. Recently, multifaceted heterogeneity of tissue-specific macrophages (TSMs) and their roles played in organotropic

Advances in the mechanism and therapies of achondroplasia.

Achondroplasia (ACH), is the prevailing type of genetic dwarfism in humans, caused by mutations in fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) that are inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. FGFR3 is mainly expressed in condensed mesenchyme, chondrocytes, and mature osteoblasts and osteoclasts, in which it regulates the formation, development, growth, and remodeling of the skeletal system. Mutations in FGFR3 causing ACH result in enhanced FGFR3 signaling through combined mechanisms including enhancing FGF dimerization and tyrosine kinase activity and stabilizing FGF receptors. In ACH, supp

Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells as a Novel Cell-Based Cancer Immunotherapy.

Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) are multifaceted immune cells with a wide range of innate and adaptive immunological functions. They constitute the first line of defence against multiple viral infections and have also been reported to actively participate in antitumor immune responses. The clinical implication of the presence of pDCs in the tumor microenvironment (TME) is still ambiguous, but it is clear that pDCs possess the ability to modulate tumor-specific T cell responses and direct cytotoxic functions. Therapeutic strategies designed to exploit these qualities of pDCs to boost tumor-

Developments in nanotechnology have led to the emergence

Case Report: Lenalidomide as a novel maintenance therapy for metastatic follicular dendritic cell sarcoma.

Follicular dendritic cell sarcoma (FDCS) is a rare, low- to intermediate-grade malignancy arising from mesenchymal-derived follicular dendritic cells, which can also present with high-grade pathological features and may rapidly become fatal. Conventional therapeutic strategies, primarily consisting of surgical resection with adjunctive systemic chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine-docetaxel, ifosfamide, doxorubicin, or other regimens, remain inconsistently effective, with median survival notably reduced in advanced or recurrent disease. Given the limited therapeutic options and frequent relapse,
