TL;DR

These findings characterize IQGAP2 as a novel regulator orchestrating tumor-intrinsic phagocytic-like programs and immune checkpoint modulation, suggesting that targeting the IQGAP2/JAK2/STAT3 axis represents a potential therapeutic strategy to overcome immune evasion in glioma.

PGK1-driven histone lactylation fuels MDSC-driven immune evasion and tumor progression in triple-negative breast cancer.

Functional assays demonstrated that PGK1-driven glycolysis in TNBC cells promotes lactate accumulation and H3K18la, which subsequently induce transcriptional activation of CCL5 and recruitment of MDSCs, thereby impairing CD8+ T cell function and fostering an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment that facilitates imm...

NFS1 activates PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling to upregulate GPX4 expression and enhance ferroptosis resistance in osteosarcoma

It is suggested that NFS1 functions as an oncogenic driver, as well as a promising prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target in osteosarcoma, and linking metabolic reprogramming to ferroptosis resistance, is suggested.

ERK/GATAD2A/SAA1 axis drives osimertinib resistance via NF-κB and macrophage reprogramming in EGFR-mutated lung adenocarcinoma

Target neutralization of SAA1 synergized robustly with osimertinib to reverse immunosuppressive remodeling and induce profound tumor regression in multiple preclinical models, highlighting SAA1 neutralization as a tractable combinatorial strategy to enhance EGFR-TKI efficacy in LUAD.

Inflamed Yet Immune-Evasive? A Transcriptomic Meta-Analysis Identifies Conserved Inflammatory, Developmental, and Neuronal Signatures Associated with Polyploid Giant Cancer Cells

This study proposes that PGCCs represent an immune-adaptive polyploid survival state in which inflammatory and ontogenetic pathways are repurposed to support immune evasion and tumor persistence and provides a framework for therapeutic strategies aimed at dismantling the PGCC reservoir and preventing tumor relapse.
