CCDC80 suppresses high‐grade serous ovarian cancer migration via negative regulation of B7‐H3

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
PAX8 is a lineage‐specific master regulator of transcription in high‐grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) progression. We show for the first time that PAX8 facilitates proliferation and metastasis by repressing the cell autonomous tumor suppressor CCDC80 and inducing B7‐H3 expression.

DNA methylation and expression of MAPRE3 affect overall survival of early‐stage non‐small cell lung cancer patients

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Both cg12821679MAPRE3 methylation and MAPRE3 expression are significantly associated with overall survival (OS) of non‐small cell lung cancer. Meanwhile, MAPRE3 expression significantly modified the effect of smoking cessation on OS. Smoking cessation benefits OS merely for patients with high MAPRE3 expression.

GPCRs in CAR‐T Cell Immunotherapy: Expanding the Target Landscape and Enhancing Therapeutic Efficacy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy faces dual challenges of target scarcity and an immunosuppressive microenvironment in solid tumors. This review highlights how G protein‐coupled receptors can serve as both novel targets to expand the therapeutic scope and functional modules to enhance CAR‐T cell efficacy.

Investigation of the combined effects of cannabidiol plus naltrexone on alcohol craving in alcohol dependence: study protocol of a phase II randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial – ICONICplus Trial

BMJ Open
Introduction Alcohol dependence (AD) is highly prevalent and has severe consequences on health and quality of life. However, the efficacy of approved pharmacotherapies such as naltrexone (NTX) remains limited, highlighting the need for novel ...

Cortical Glutamate and GABA Changes During Early Abstinence in Alcohol Dependence and Their Associations With Benzodiazepine Medication

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2021
In this report, we present cross-sectional and longitudinal findings from single-voxel MEGA-PRESS MRS of GABA as well as Glu, and Glu + glutamine (Glx) concentrations in the ACC of treatment-seeking alcohol-dependent patients (ADPs) during detoxification

Beyond CD30: Dual‐Targeting of Malignant and Regulatory T Cells by Brentuximab Vedotin Remodels the Lymphoma Microenvironment and Overcomes Resistance via BCL2 Inhibition in Mycosis Fungoides

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Single‐cell RNA analyses of paired lesions from CD30+ mycosis fungoides patients demonstrate that brentuximab vedotin (BV) induces immunogenic cell death in both CD30+ and CD30− malignant T cells. BV also targets regulatory T cells and remodels tumor microenvironment, while resistance is driven by impaired IFN responses, drug efflux, and BCL2 ...
