Identification of PANoptosis-related predictors for prognosis and tumor microenvironment by multiomics analysis in glioma.

PANoptosis is a newly described inflammatory programmed cell death, that highlights coordination between pyroptosis, apoptosis and necroptosis. However, the functions of PANoptosis-related genes in glioma progression still remain to be explored. This study aims to identify PANoptosis-related predictors that may be utilized for prognosis prediction and development of new therapeutic targets.

ESM1 promotes triple-negative breast cancer cell proliferation through activating AKT/NF-κB/Cyclin D1 pathway.

Background: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a subtype of invasive breast cancer that tests negative for PR, ER and excess HER2 protein. TNBC has a greater progression potential with poorer prognosis, compared with other types of breast cancer. Endothelial cell-specific molecule 1 (ESM1), also known as endocan, is overexpressed in various cancers including breast cancer and may play an important role in cancer progression.

Comprehensive mutanome analysis of Lewis lung cancer reveals immunogenic neoantigens for therapeutic vaccines.

Personalized neoantigen vaccines are capable of eliciting vigorous T-cell responses and have been demonstrated to achieve striking therapeutic effects against cancer. Here we performed comprehensive mutanome analysis of the mouse Lewis lung cancer cells to identify tumor neoantigens followed by prediction of their MHC affinity and immunogenicity. We adopted a strategy that enables us to select neoantigens that were predicted to have high affinity to both MHC I and MHC II.
