Article Abstract

Cuproptosis is a new Cu-dependent programmed cell death manner that has shown regulatory functions in many tumor types, however, its mechanism in bladder cancer remains unclear. Here, we reveal that Phosphodiesterase 3B (PDE3B), a cuproptosis-associated gene, could reduce the invasion and migration of bladder cancer. PDE3B is downregulated in bladder cancer tissues, which is correlated with better prognosis. Conversely, overexpression of PDE3B in bladder cancer cell could significantly resist invasion and migration, which is consistent with the TCGA database results. Future study demonstrate the anti-cancer effect of PDE3B is mediated by Keratin 6B (KRT6B) which leads to the keratinization. Therefore, PDE3B can reduce KRT6B expression and inhibit the invasion and migration of bladder cancer. Meanwhile, increased expression of PDE3B was able to enhance the sensitivity of Cuproptosis drug thiram. This study show that PDE3B/KRT6B is a potential cancer therapeutic target and PDE3B activation is able to increase the sensitivity of bladder cancer cells to copper ionophores.

Aberrant activation of fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) plays a critical role in tumorigenesis across multiple cancer types, driving the development of various FGFR inhibitors. Despite clinical advances, therapeutic efficacy remains limited by the emergence of drug resistance, primarily mediated by gatekeeper mutations in FGFRs. To overcome this challenge, we designed and synthesized a novel series of 7-(1-methyl-1-indole-3-yl)-5-pyrrolo[2,3-]pyrazine derivatives as covalent pan-FGFR inhibitors targeting both wild-type and gatekeeper mutants.

B cells located in tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) may undergo clonal expansion, somatic hypermutation, isotype switching, and tumor-specific antibody production, suggesting that antibody-producing plasma cells may be involved in antitumor immunity. This study used a combination of single-cell sequencing (five samples from our center, and four samples from PRJNA662018) and spatial transcriptome (one sample from our center, and four samples from GSE169379) research methods to investigate the relationship between TLSs and the immunoglobulin repertoire in muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). 405 patients with MIBC from TCGA and 348 patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma on PD-L1 inhibitor treatment from the IMvigor210 trial were included in this study.

Muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) with cardiac metastasis typically carries a very poor prognosis. A Black woman in her 70s developed high-grade urothelial carcinoma with squamous differentiation invading the bladder muscle. Despite chemotherapy, radiation, and nephrostomy, the disease progressed.

In metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients with proficient mismatch repair (pMMR)/microsatellite stability (MSS), beyond third-line therapies were extremely limited. Here, we reported a case of a 21-year-old male patient with pMMR/MSS mCRC who failed to respond to both first- and second-line treatment and subsequently received non-standard third-line therapy at a local hospital. This patient was referred to our hospital, and we initiated salvage therapies.
