Bortezomib elevates intracellular free Fe2+ by enhancing NCOA4-mediated ferritinophagy and synergizes with RSL-3 to inhibit multiple myeloma cells
Iron contributes to tumor initiation and progression; however, excessive intracellular free Fe2+ can be toxic to cancer cells. Our findings confirmed that multiple myeloma (MM) cells exhibited elevated intracellu...

Open AccessFBXW7β loss-of-function enhances FASN-mediated lipogenesis and promotes colorectal cancer growth
Continuous de novo fatty acid synthesis is required for the biosynthetic demands of tumor. FBXW7 is a highly mutated gene in CRC, but its biological functions in cancer are not fully characterized. Here, we re...

Open AccessComparison of malignancy and spatial distribution between latent and clinical prostate cancer: an 8-year biopsy study
Current prostate cancer (PCa) screening may detect nonprogressive lesion, leading to overdiagnosis and overtreatment. The purpose of the present study is to investigate whether the tumor pathological origin of...

LKB1 phosphorylation and deactivation in lung cancer by NNAL, a metabolite of tobacco-specific carcinogen, in an isomer-dependent manner
LKB1 loss of function is one key oncogenic event in lung cancer. Clinical data suggest that LKB1 loss of function is associated with patients’ smoking status. The responsible ingredients and molecular mechanis...

Cullin-9/p53 mediates HNRNPC degradation to inhibit erastin-induced ferroptosis and is blocked by MDM2 inhibition in colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the leading cause of cancer associated death worldwide. Ferroptosis is a newly defined form of regulated cell death characterized by the accumulation of lipid hydroperoxides and exer...

Spectrum of activity of dasatinib against mutant KIT kinases associated with drug-sensitive and drug-resistant gastrointestinal stromal tumors
The majority of GISTs express mutationally activated KIT. Imatinib and sunitinib are approved KIT-inhibiting therapies. Their efficacy is usually hampered by the acquired multiple secondary drug-resistance KIT mu...

Open AccessAtypical GATA transcription factor TRPS1 represses gene expression by recruiting CHD4/NuRD(MTA2) and suppresses cell migration and invasion by repressing TP63 expression
Transcriptional repressor GATA binding 1 (TRPS1), an atypical GATA transcription factor, functions as a transcriptional repressor and is also implicated in human cancers. However, the underlying mechanism of T...

Aldehyde dehydrogenase-1 is a specific marker for stem cells in human lung adenocarcinoma
To investigate whether aldehyde dehydrogenase-1 (ALDH-1) in human lung cancer can be used as a sorting marker for stem cells in targeted therapies against human lung cancer. Spheres were induced by incubating ...
