Article Abstract

IFNs play a critical role in cancer biology, including impacting tumor cell behavior and instructing the tumor microenvironment (TME). IFNs recently have been shown to reprogram tumor metabolism through distinct mechanisms. Furthermore, IFNs shape the TME by modulating immune cell infiltration and function, contributing to the intricate interaction between the tumor and stromal cells. This review summarizes the effects of IFNs on metabolic reprogramming and their impacts on the function of immune cells within the TME, with a particular focus on the dual roles of IFNs in mediating both anti-tumor and pro-tumor immune responses. Understanding the significance of IFNs-mediated processes aids to advise future therapeutic strategies in cancer treatment.

Purpose: NOTCH3 is increasingly implicated for its oncogenic role in many malignancies, including meningiomas. While prior work has linked NOTCH3 expression to higher-grade meningiomas and treatment resistance, the metabolic phenotype of NOTCH3 activation remains unexplored in meningioma.

Methods: We performed single-cell RNA sequencing on NOTCH3 + human meningioma cell lines.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized cancer therapy but are increasingly linked to immune-related kidney injury (irKI). This study presents the first bibliometric analysis of irKI research (2000-2025), aiming to identify key trends, mechanistic insights, and pharmacological risk factors. We analyzed 2,179 publications to understand the evolution of irKI research, focusing on areas like T cell-mediated tubular injury, immune system-driven inflammation, and changes in metabolism.

Dendritic cells (DCs) play a central role in coordinating immune responses by linking innate and adaptive immunity through their exceptional antigen-presenting capabilities. Recent studies reveal that metabolic reprogramming-especially pathways involving acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA)-critically influences DC function in both physiological and pathological contexts. This review consolidates current knowledge on how environmental factors, tumor-derived signals, and intrinsic metabolic pathways collectively regulate DC development, subset differentiation, and functional adaptability.

The onset and progression of periodontitis are closely related to metabolic reprogramming in the periodontal microenvironment, with osteoclasts playing a critical role in tissue destruction. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of periodontal tissues from healthy individuals and patients with severe chronic periodontitis revealed a significant increase in the expression of mitochondrial-related genes during osteoclast differentiation, suggesting the critical role of mitochondrial function in this process. This study investigates the potential of the novel mitoribosome-targeting antibiotic radezolid in inhibiting osteoclast differentiation.

Patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) to the liver exhibit poor survival rates. Chemotherapy combined with anti-vascular therapy has emerged as the standard treatment, but resistance to anti-VEGFA therapy inevitably develops. The metabolic reprogramming of tumor vascular endothelial cells (TECs) plays a crucial, yet still poorly understood, role in the development of therapeutic resistance.
