Abstract Background Tumor immune escape is a pivotal gateway for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) development. Immune checkpoint-blocking therapies, represented by programmed death receptor-1/ligand 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) inhibitors, have achieved remarkable breakthroughs in ESCC treatment. However, not all patients with receive satisfactory clinical benefit. Therefore, identifying novel biomarkers predicting the efficacy of immunotherapy great importance. Methods CircNF1 was screened from...
Abstract Altered lipid metabolism is a common hallmark of various cancers, including intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), highly lethal carcinoma that lacks effective treatment options. To elucidate the changes in ICC, we coupled expression firefly luciferase gene (FFL) to AKT1 (AKT-FFL) via an IRES linker, and then hydrodynamically injected mice with AKT-FFL Notch1 intracellular cytoplasmic domain (NICD) establish luciferase-positive ICC model. This model not only enabled us monitor...
As a complex of natural plant compounds, tanshinone is renowned for its remarkable antioxidant properties. However, the potential impact on melanocyte pigmentation regulation has yet to be elucidated. This study aimed explore protective effects I (T-I) and dihydrotanshinone (DHT) melanogenesis by modulating nuclear factor E2-related 2 (Nrf2) signaling defenses in human epidermal (HEM) cells.
The development of cancer therapeutics has evolved from general targets with radiation and chemotherapy shifted toward treatments a more specific mechanism action such as small molecule kinase inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies against tumor antigens, or checkpoint inhibitors. Recently, oncolytic viruses (OVs) have come to the forefront viable option for immunotherapy, especially "cold" tumors, which are known inhabit an immunologically suppressive microenvironment. Desired characteristics...
