SMARCA4/BRG1 protein-deficient thoracic tumors dictate re-examination of small biopsy reporting in non–small cell lung cancer [PDF]
Background SMARCA4/BRG1 protein–deficient lung adenocarcinomas and thoracic sarcoma are recently described entities that lack distinctive histological features, transcription termination factor 1 (TTF1) reactivity, and actionable driver mutations.

SMARCA4 regulates SMARCAD1 expression for toleration of replication stress in non-small cell lung cancer. [PDF]
Objectives: SMARCA4, a core component of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex, is frequently mutated in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). SMARCA4-deficient cancer cells are associated with increased replication stress, one of the major causes of ...

SMARCA4-Deficient Undifferentiated Thoracic Tumor: Clinical Features and Prognosis of a Case Series and Literature Review. [PDF]
Introduction Thoracic SMARCA4‐deficient undifferentiated tumors (SMARCA4‐UT) are rare and aggressive epithelioid neoplasms characterized by the loss of the SMARCA4 gene.

SWI/SNF regulates a transcriptional programme that induces senescence to prevent liver cancer [PDF]
Oncogene-induced senescence (OIS) is a potent tumour suppressor mechanism. To identify senescence regulators relevant to cancer, we screened an shRNA library targeting genes deleted in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Transcriptomic profiling of tumor-infiltrating CD4 + TIM-3 + T Cells reveals their suppressive, exhausted, and metastatic characteristics in colorectal cancer patients [PDF]
T cell immunoglobulin mucin-3 (TIM-3) is an immune checkpoint identified as one of the key players in regulating T-cell responses. Studies have shown that TIM-3 is upregulated in the tumor microenvironment (TME).

Analysis of Clinicopathologic Features of 9 Cases of SMARCA4-deficient Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
Background and objective SMARCA4-deficient non-small cell lung cancer (SMARCA4-dNSCLC) is a rare primary lung malignancy. These diseases are not listed separately in the 2021 World Health Organization (WHO) classification of lung neoplasms, but they have

BAF complex vulnerabilities in cancer demonstrated via structure-based PROTAC design [PDF]
Targeting subunits of BAF/PBAF chromatin remodeling complexes has been proposed as an approach to exploit cancer vulnerabilities. Here, we develop proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) degraders of the BAF ATPase subunits SMARCA2 and SMARCA4 using a ...
