- Osteosarcoma (OS) is a common primary malignant bone tumor in children and adolescents. Increasing evidence suggests that immune dysregulation contributes to OS progression, but its tissue-level and systemic features remain incompletely defined. This study aimed to characterize immune-related alterations in OS and identify key immunoregulatory molecules associated with disease progression. - Source: PubMed

Zhu JichongHuang ChengqianTan Weiming - Osteosarcoma (OS) stands as the predominant malignant primary bone tumor. WDR12 plays a role in diverse biological processes. Nonetheless, the specific function of WDR12 in OS has not been clearly elucidated. Herein, we found that WDR12 is overexpressed and closely associated with poor prognosis of OS. A diagnostic nomogram based on WDR12 and clinical features of OS could effectively predict the overall survival rate of OS patients. Through functional enrichment analysis, multiple potential pathways related to WDR12 expression in tumorigenesis have been identified. Additionally, the expression level of WDR12 is correlated with the tumor immune microenvironment, immune therapy response, and drug treatment response in OS. Importantly, in vitro experiments demonstrated that downregulation of WDR12 significantly inhibited the proliferation and migration abilities of OS cells and in vivo experiments also confirmed that overexpression of WDR12 could promote tumor growth. Hence, WDR12 has the capacity to emerge as a novel prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for OS. - Source: PubMed

Here, we report that death receptor 5 (DR5) is upregulated in ccRCC tissues and sunitinib-resistant cells, and is associated with poor outcomes and sunitinib resistance. Gain- and loss-of-function experiments revealed that DR5 promotes sunitinib resistance both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, DR5 enhances the activation of NF-κB signalling by reducing the ubiquitin-mediated proteasomal degradation of p65 via competitive binding to the CUL4B-DDB1 E3 ligase complex linker protein WDR12, leading to the transcriptional upregulation of DR5 and BCL2. The positive feedback loop between DR5 and p65 contributes to the upregulation of BCL2 expression, which in turn modulates sunitinib resistance in ccRCC. Notably, targeting the DR5/NF-κB/BCL2 axis sensitizes ccRCC cells to sunitinib both in vitro and in vivo. Clinically, ccRCC patients with high DR5 expression show decreased responsiveness to TKI-based therapy. Collectively, these results highlight the importance of the positive feedback loop involving the DR5/NF-κB axis in sunitinib resistance and provide an effective therapeutic strategy for overcoming resistance. - Source: PubMed

It remains to be determined whether circulatory miRNAs are associated with markers of neurodegeneration in plasma (neurofilament light chain (NfL), total tau (t-tau) and amyloid beta (Aβ)), before the clinical onset of dementia. - Source: PubMed
