Testicular cancer (TC) is the most frequent solid tumor diagnosed in young adult males. Although it is a curable tumor, it is frequently associated with considerable short-term and long-term morbidity. Both biological and psychological stress experienced during cancer therapy may be responsible for stimulating molecular processes that induce premature aging and deterioration of immune system (immunosenescence) in TC survivors, leading to an increased susceptibility to infections, cancer, and autoimmune diseases. Immunosenescence is a remodeling of immune cell populations with inversion of the CD4CD8 ratio, accumulation of highly differentiated memory cells, shrinkage of telomeres, shift of T-cell response to Th2 type, and release of pro-inflammatory signals. TC survivors exposed to chemotherapy show features of immunological aging, including an increase in memory T-cells (CD4+ and CD8+) and high expression of the senescence biomarker p16INK4a in CD3+ lymphocytes. However, the plethora of factors involved in the premature aging of TC survivors make the situation more complex if we also take into account the psychological stress and hormonal changes experienced by patients, as well as the high-dose chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation that some individuals may be required to undergo. The relatively young age and the long life expectancy of TC patients bear witness to the importance of improving quality of life and of alleviating long-term side-effects of cancer treatments. Within this context, the present review takes an in-depth look at the molecular mechanisms of immunosenescence, describing experimental evidence of cancer survivor aging and highlighting the interconnected relationship between the many factors modulating the aging of the immune system of TC survivors.Accumulating evidences indicate that non-coding RNAs play crucial roles in the progression of an extensive range of carcinomas. This study aimed to investigate the action mechanism of miR-144-5p and miR-451a in cholangiocarcinoma. We found that miR-144-5p and miR-451a were significantly decreased in cholangiocarcinoma patient samples compared to the adjacent normal bile duct samples. The downregulation of these two miRNAs was correlated with a more advanced disease state of cholangiocarcinoma patients. Overexpression of miR-144-5p and miR-451a suppressed the proliferation, invasion and migration of cholangiocarcinoma cells in vitro and inhibited xenograft tumor growth. Knockdown of these two miRNAs had the opposite effects. miR-144-5p and miR-451a regulated the expression of ST8 alpha-N-acetyl-neuraminide alpha-2,8-sialyltransferase 4 (ST8SIA4), and presented a correlation with ST8SIA4 in patient samples. Overexpression of ST8SIA4 promoted the proliferation, invasion and migration of cholangiocarcinoma cells, and the changes were reversed by upregulating the expression of miR-144-5p and miR-451a. Our findings indicated that miR-144-5p and miR-451a displayed a tumor suppressor role through decreasing the expression of ST8SIA4 in cholangiocarcinoma.Up to 30% of breast cancer mortality is caused by cancer relapse despite primary clinical treatments due to distant metastases. https://www.selleckchem.com/Akt.html Further research focusing on breast cancer mechanisms are needed for deeper understanding of disease prognosis. 3-bromopyruvate (3-BP), a glycolysis inhibitor, has been studied as one of the antitumor agents in recent years. In this report, we want to investigate the form of cell death induced by 3-BP and demonstrate the inhibitory effect of 3-BP on breast cancer cell proliferation and its mechanism in vivo and in vitro. We found that 3-BP could inhibit MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 breast cancer cell proliferation, through energy metabolism inhibition. Further, necroptosis characters in MDA-MB-231 cells after 3-BP treatment were observed, which could be negatively regulated through Ppm1b by dephosphorylation of RIP3. In addition, 3-BP treatment in an MDA-MB-231 cell-transplanted mouse model showed a significant antitumor effect, which correlated with necroptosis-related protein Ppm1b. The findings demonstrate the potential for 3-BP in the treatment of breast cancer, providing impetus for further clinical studies.Gliomas account for more than half of all adult primary brain tumors. Epilepsy is the most common initial clinical presentation in gliomas. Glioma related epilepsy (GRE) is defined as symptomatic epileptic seizures secondary to gliomas, occurring in nearly 50% in high-grade glioma (HGG) patients and up to 90% in patients with low-grade glioma (LGG). Uncontrolled seizures, which have major impact on patients' quality of life, are caused by multiple factors. Although the anti-seizure medications (ASMs), chemotherapy and radiation therapy are also beneficial for seizure treatment, the overall seizure control for GRE continue to be unsatisfactory. Due to the close relationship between GRE and glioma, surgical resection is often the treatment of choice not only for the tumor treatment, but also for the seizure control. Despite aggressive surgical treatment, there are about 30% of patients continue to have poor seizure control postoperatively. Furthermore, the diagnostic criteria for GRE is not well established. In this review, we propose an algorithm for the diagnosis and perioperative management for GRE.Driver oncogene alterations have always been one of leading causes in the process of occurrence and development of tumors. And the effects of driver oncogene alterations on tumorigenesis and progression in different kinds of tumors have been studied heatedly. And the roles that the driver oncogenes alterations play have been elucidated clearly in previous studies. The phenomenon of concomitant driver oncogenes mutations and driver genes fusions has gained much concentration in the past two decades. And a growing number of studies reported this phenomenon, either coexistence or mutually exclusivity. Here we reviewed on the phenomenon of concomitant mutations in three common types of carcinomas-lung cancer, thyroid cancer, and leukemia, which have been studied relatively more detailed and more general compared with others.
