Genome-wide association study for vitiligo identifies susceptibility loci at 6q27 and the MHC
Youwen Zhou and Xue-Jun Zhang and colleagues report a genome-wide association study of generalized vitiligo, a common autoimmune disorder characterized by loss of melanocytes and depigmentation. The authors id...

A multi-stage genome-wide association study of bladder cancer identifies multiple susceptibility loci
Montserrat Garcia-Closas and colleagues report a genome-wide association study for bladder cancer. They identify three new susceptibility loci on chromosomes 22q13.1, 19q12 and 2q37.1.

Inactivation of Rheb by PRAK-mediated phosphorylation is essential for energy-depletion-induced suppression of mTORC1
Cell growth can be suppressed by stressful environments, but the role of stress pathways in this process is largely unknown. Here we show that a cascade of p38β mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and p38-...

Combined Erlotinib and Cetuximab overcome the acquired resistance to epidermal growth factor receptors tyrosine kinase inhibitor in non-small-cell lung cancer
Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells with somatic mutations in epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR) are initially susceptible to tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI); however, eventually resistance to TKI i...

Open AccessEstimation of savings of life-years and cost from early detection of cervical cancer: a follow-up study using nationwide databases for the period 2002–2009
Few studies consider both the survival and financial benefits of detection of invasive cervical cancer (ICC) at earlier stages. This study estimated the savings in life-years and costs from early diagnosis of ...

The genomic landscape of nasopharyngeal carcinoma
De-Chen Lin and colleagues report whole-exome sequencing, targeted sequencing and SNP array analysis of 128 cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), a tumor type connected to Epstein-Barr virus infection. Thei...

Joint analysis of three genome-wide association studies of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in Chinese populations
Dongxin Lin, Philip Taylor, Li-Dong Wang and colleagues have now pooled three genome-wide association analyses of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, finding two new risk loci at genome-wide significance and a...

Exome sequencing identifies somatic mutations of DDX3X in natural killer/T-cell lymphoma
Zhu Chen, Sai-Juan Chen, Wei-Li Zhao and colleagues identify recurrent loss-of-function mutations in the RNA helicase gene DDX3X in 20% of subjects with natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (NKTCL) in their study. The ...

Open AccessGuided chemotherapy based on patient-derived mini-xenograft models improves survival of gallbladder carcinoma patients
Gallbladder carcinoma is highly aggressive and resistant to chemotherapy, with no consistent strategy to guide first line chemotherapy. However, patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model has been increasingly used...

HOTAIR induces the ubiquitination of Runx3 by interacting with Mex3b and enhances the invasion of gastric cancer cells
Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) exert their functions mainly by binding to their corresponding proteins. Runt-related transcription factor 3 (Runx3) is an important transcription factor that functions as a tumo...

Open AccessThe relationship between autophagy and the immune system and its applications for tumor immunotherapy
Autophagy is a genetically well-controlled cellular process that is tightly controlled by a set of core genes, including the family of autophagy-related genes (ATG). Autophagy is a “double-edged sword” in tumo...

Open AccessTRIM44 activates the AKT/mTOR signal pathway to induce melanoma progression by stabilizing TLR4
There is growing evidence that tripartite motif-containing protein 44 (TRIM44) plays crucial role in tumor development. However, the underlying mechanism of this deubiquitinating enzyme remains unclear.

Article
Open AccessCrosstalk between autophagy and epithelial-mesenchymal transition and its application in cancer therapy
Autophagy is a highly conserved catabolic process that mediates degradation of pernicious or dysfunctional cellular components, such as invasive pathogens, senescent proteins, and organelles. It can promote or...

Open AccessASPH-notch Axis guided Exosomal delivery of Prometastatic Secretome renders breast Cancer multi-organ metastasis
Aspartate β-hydroxylase (ASPH) is silent in normal adult tissues only to re-emerge during oncogenesis where its function is required for generation and maintenance of malignant phenotypes. Exosomes enable proo...

Open AccessAcylglycerol kinase promotes tumour growth and metastasis via activating the PI3K/AKT/GSK3β signalling pathway in renal cell carcinoma
Clinically, the median survival in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) was only 6–12 months and a 5-year survival rate of less than 20%. Therefore, an in-depth study of the molecular mechanisms...

Open AccessEYA2 suppresses the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma via SOCS3-mediated blockade of JAK/STAT signaling
Somatic mutations are involved in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression, but the genetic mechanism associated to hepatocarcinogenesis remains poorly understood. We report that Eyes absent homolog 2 (EYA2)...

Article
Open AccessInhibiting the redox function of APE1 suppresses cervical cancer metastasis via disengagement of ZEB1 from E-cadherin in EMT
Metastasis is a major challenge in cervical cancer treatment. Previous studies have shown that the dual functional protein apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1) promotes tumor metastasis and is overexpre...

Open AccessCD147 receptor is essential for TFF3-mediated signaling regulating colorectal cancer progression
Major gaps in understanding the molecular mechanisms of colorectal cancer (CRC) progression and intestinal mucosal repair have hampered therapeutic development for gastrointestinal disorders. Trefoil factor 3 ...

Open AccessOutcome of aggressive B-cell lymphoma with TP53 alterations administered with CAR T-cell cocktail alone or in combination with ASCT
TP53 gene alteration confers inferior prognosis in refractory/relapse aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (r/r B-NHL). From September 2016 to September 2020, 257 r/r B-NHL patients were assessed for eligibilit...

Multi-ancestry genetic study of type 2 diabetes highlights the power of diverse populations for discovery and translation
We assembled an ancestrally diverse collection of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in 180,834 affected individuals and 1,159,055 controls (48.9% non-European descent) through the...
