PRMT5 expression in melanoma suppresses inflammation and antigen presentation, suggesting that its inhibition could potentiate immunotherapy.
Linear ubiquitin chains generated by the linear chain assembly complex ( LUBAC ) play an important role in NF ‐κB activation. However, regulation of generation is not well characterized. Here, we identified two deubiquitinating enzymes DUB s), ovarian tumor with linkage specificity OTULIN /Gumby/ FAM 105B) and cylindromatosis CYLD that can cleave polyubiquitin interact via N‐terminal PNG ase/ UBA or UBX PUB domain HOIP , a catalytic subunit . interacts both even unstimulated cells. The...
Although biological resources are essential for basic and preclinical research in the oncological field, those of sarcoma not sufficient rapid development treatment. So far, some cell lines have been established, however, success rate was low established types were frequently biased. Therefore, an efficient culture method is needed to determine various sarcomas. Organoid a 3-dimentional that enables recapitulation tumor microenvironment reported higher than 2-dimentional culture. The purpose...
Angiosarcoma is a rare malignant neoplasm with poor prognosis. A retrospective study was performed to accumulate radiotherapy (RT) data.Data from 17 patients angiosarcoma of the face and scalp (AFS) who were treated definitive RT between January 1999 July 2011 retrospectively analysed. The total radiation dose 70 Gy, fractional doses 2.0-2.5 Gy. Combined RT, chemotherapy using docetaxel alone, recombinant interleukin-2 immunotherapy alone both these in 10, 4 2 patients, respectively. Three...
SHARPIN, an adaptor for the linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex (LUBAC), plays important roles in NF-κB signaling and inflammation. Here, we have demonstrated a LUBAC-independent role SHARPIN regulating melanoma growth. We observed that interacted with PRMT5, type II protein arginine methyltransferase, increased its multiprotein methyltransferase activity. Activated PRMT5 controlled expression of transcription factors SOX10 MITF by SHARPIN-dependent dimethylation inhibition...
Background: Bone metastasis is associated with a poor prognosis. Bone-modifying agents (BMA) are commonly used for the prevention or treatment of skeletal-related events (SRE) in patients bone metastasis; however, whether not BMA improves survival remains unclear. In this study, we investigated was involved post-bone survival. Methods: A total 539 cancer were retrospectively analyzed to identify significant independent factors Results: Among overall population, following cancers had median...

Abstract Approximately 60–70% of EWSR1 -negative small blue round cell sarcomas harbour a rearrangement CIC , most commonly CIC-DUX4 . sarcoma (CDS) is an aggressive and often fatal high-grade appearing predominantly in children young adults. Although lines their xenograft models are essential tools for basic research development antitumour drugs, few currently exist CDS. We successfully established novel human CDS line designated Kitra-SRS developed orthotopic tumour xenografts nude mice....
There have been few reports on bone metastases (BMs) from esophageal cancer (EC). The aim of the present study was to investigate clinicopathological features and prognostic factors in patients with EC BMs. retrospectively collected data 58 BMs who were treated at our institution between 2007 2016. Patient, tumor BM-associated characteristics analyzed. Kaplan-Meier survival curves constructed analyzed using univariate log-rank test. Multivariate analyses conducted Cox proportional hazards...
Malignant giant-cell tumors are extremely rare bone sarcomas that transform from conventional during long periods of treatment. Owing to their rarity, no further analysis molecular pathogenesis exists, and thus, standard treatment has been established. Recently, organoid culture methods have highlighted for recapturing the tumor microenvironment, we applied succeeded in establishing patient-derived organoids (PDO) sarcomas. This study aimed investigate genomic characteristics our established...
Sarcoma is a rare type of cancer for which new therapeutic agents are required. Ferroptosis nonapoptotic cell death triggered by iron-mediated lipid peroxidation. We found that TFRC, an iron uptake protein, was expressed at higher levels in sarcoma lines than noncancer and carcinoma lines. Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) protects cells against ferroptosis, its inhibition using RAS-selective lethal 3 (RSL3) had antitumor effect more pronounced lines, particularly synovial cells, compared to...
Abstract Clear cell sarcoma is an aggressive soft tissue and highly resistant to conventional chemotherapy radiation therapy. This devastating disease defined by EWSR 1‐ ATF 1 fusion gene resulting from chromosomal translocation t(12;22)(q13;q12) characterized melanocytic differentiation. A marine‐derived antineoplastic agent, trabectedin, inhibits the growth of myxoid liposarcoma Ewing causing adipogenic differentiation neural differentiation, respectively. In this study, we examined...
Clear cell sarcoma (CCS) is a rare but chemotherapy-resistant and often fatal high-grade soft-tissue (STS) characterized by melanocytic differentiation under control of microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF). Eribulin mesilate (eribulin) mechanistically unique microtubule inhibitor commonly used for STS treatment, particularly liposarcoma leiomyosarcoma. In this study, we examined the antitumor efficacy eribulin on four human CCS lines two mouse xenograft models. inhibited...
The linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex (LUBAC) ligase complex, composed of HOIL-1L-interacting protein (HOIP), heme-oxidized IRP2 ligase-1L (HOIL-1L), and SHANK-associated RH domain protein, specifically generates polyubiquitin chains is involved in NF-κB activation.
