[PMID: 38684668 PMCID: PMC11059363 DOI: 10.1038/s41420-024-01957-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2023] [Revised: 04/09/2024] [Accepted: 04/11/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3), a member of the receptor-interacting protein kinase (RIPK) family with serine/threonine protein kinase activity, interacts with RIPK1 to generate necrosomes, which trigger caspase-independent programmed necrosis. As a vital component of necrosomes, RIPK3 plays an indispensable role in necroptosis, which is crucial for human life and health. In addition, RIPK3 participates in the pathological process of several infections, aseptic inflammatory diseases, and tumors (including tumor-promoting and -suppressive activities) by regulating autophagy, cell proliferation, and the metabolism and production of chemokines/cytokines. This review summarizes the recent research progress of the regulators of the RIPK3 signaling pathway and discusses the potential role of RIPK3/necroptosis in the aetiopathogenesis of various diseases. An in-depth understanding of the mechanisms and functions of RIPK3 may facilitate the development of novel therapeutic strategies.

Bladder-cancer-derived exosomal circRNA_0013936 promotes suppressive immunity by up-regulating fatty acid transporter protein 2 and down-regulating receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 in PMN-MDSCs. Mol Cancer 2024; 23:52. [PMID: 38461272 PMCID: PMC10924381 DOI: 10.1186/s12943-024-01968-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2023] [Accepted: 02/22/2024] [Indexed: 03/11/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cells (PMN-MDSCs) is one of the causes of tumor immune tolerance and failure of cancer immunotherapy. Here, we found that bladder cancer (BCa)-derived exosomal circRNA_0013936 could enhance the immunosuppressive activity of PMN-MDSCs by regulating the expression of fatty acid transporter protein 2 (FATP2) and receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3). However, the underlying mechanism remains largely unknown. METHODS BCa-derived exosomes was isolated and used for a series of experiments. RNA sequencing was used to identify the differentially expressed circRNAs. Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, qRT-PCR, ELISA and Flow cytometry were performed to reveal the potential mechanism of circRNA_0013936 promoting the immunosuppressive activity of PMN-MDSC. RESULTS CircRNA_0013936 enriched in BCa-derived exosomes could promote the expression of FATP2 and inhibit the expression of RIPK3 in PMN-MDSCs. Mechanistically, circRNA_0013936 promoted the expression of FATP2 and inhibited the expression of RIPK3 expression via sponging miR-320a and miR-301b, which directly targeted JAK2 and CREB1 respectively. Ultimately, circRNA_0013936 significantly inhibited the functions of CD8+ T cells by up-regulating FATP2 through the circRNA_0013936/miR-320a/JAK2 pathway, and down-regulating RIPK3 through the circRNA_0013936/miR-301b/CREB1 pathway in PMN-MDSCs. CONCLUSIONS BCa-derived exosomal circRNA_0013936 promotes suppressive immunity by up-regulating FATP2 through the circRNA_0013936/miR-320a/JAK2 pathway and down-regulating RIPK3 through the circRNA_0013936/miR-301b-3p/CREB1 pathway in PMN-MDSCs. These findings help to find new targets for clinical treatment of human bladder cancer.

Abstract
Vitiligo is one of the common chronic autoimmune skin diseases in clinic, which is characterized by localized or generalized depigmentation and seriously affects the physical and mental health of patients. At present, the pathogenesis of vitiligo is not clear; mainly, heredity, autoimmunity, oxidative stress, melanocyte (MC) self-destruction, and the destruction, death, or dysfunction of MCs caused by various reasons are always the core of vitiligo. Regulatory cell death (RCD) is an active and orderly death mode of cells regulated by genes, which widely exists in various life activities, plays a pivotal role in maintaining the homeostasis of the organism, and is closely related to the occurrence and development of many diseases. With the deepening of the research and understanding of RCD, people gradually found that there are many different forms of RCD in the lesions and perilesional skin of vitiligo patients, such as apoptosis, autophagy, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, and so on. Different cell death modes have different mechanisms in vitiligo, and different RCDs can interact and regulate each other. In this article, the mechanism related to RCD in the pathogenesis of vitiligo is reviewed, which provides new ideas for exploring the pathogenesis and targeted treatment of vitiligo.

Construction of disulfidptosis-based immune response prediction model with artificial intelligence and validation of the pivotal grouping oncogene c-MET in regulating T cell exhaustion. Front Immunol 2024; 15:1258475. [PMID: 38352883 PMCID: PMC10862485 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2024.1258475] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2023] [Accepted: 01/04/2024] [Indexed: 02/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Given the lack of research on disulfidptosis, our study aimed to dissect its role in pan-cancer and explore the crosstalk between disulfidptosis and cancer immunity. Methods Based on TCGA, ICGC, CGGA, GSE30219, GSE31210, GSE37745, GSE50081, GSE22138, GSE41613, univariate Cox regression, LASSO regression, and multivariate Cox regression were used to construct the rough gene signature based on disulfidptosis for each type of cancer. SsGSEA and Cibersort, followed by correlation analysis, were harnessed to explore the linkage between disulfidptosis and cancer immunity. Weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA) and Machine learning were utilized to make a refined prognosis model for pan-cancer. In particular, a customized, enhanced prognosis model was made for glioma. The siRNA transfection, FACS, ELISA, etc., were employed to validate the function of c-MET. Results The expression comparison of the disulfidptosis-related genes (DRGs) between tumor and nontumor tissues implied a significant difference in most cancers. The correlation between disulfidptosis and immune cell infiltration, including T cell exhaustion (Tex), was evident, especially in glioma. The 7-gene signature was constructed as the rough model for the glioma prognosis. A pan-cancer suitable DSP clustering was made and validated to predict the prognosis. Furthermore, two DSP groups were defined by machine learning to predict the survival and immune therapy response in glioma, which was validated in CGGA. PD-L1 and other immune pathways were highly enriched in the core blue gene module from WGCNA. Among them, c-MET was validated as a tumor driver gene and JAK3-STAT3-PD-L1/PD1 regulator in glioma and T cells. Specifically, the down-regulation of c-MET decreased the proportion of PD1+ CD8+ T cells. Conclusion To summarize, we dissected the roles of DRGs in the prognosis and their relationship with immunity in pan-cancer. A general prognosis model based on machine learning was constructed for pan-cancer and validated by external datasets with a consistent result. In particular, a survival-predicting model was made specifically for patients with glioma to predict its survival and immune response to ICIs. C-MET was screened and validated for its tumor driver gene and immune regulation function (inducing t-cell exhaustion) in glioma.

Abstract
TRIM proteins are characterized by their conserved N-terminal RING, B-box, and coiled-coil domains. These proteins are efficient regulators of autophagy, apoptosis, and innate immune responses and confer immunity against viruses and bacteria. TRIMs function as receptors or scaffold proteins that target substrates for autophagy-mediated degradation. Most TRIMs interact with the BECN1-ULK1 complex to form TRIMosomes, thereby efficiently targeting substrates to autophagosomes. They regulate the functions of ATG proteins through physical interactions or ubiquitination. TRIMs affect the lipidation of MAP1LC3B1 to form MAP1LC3B2, which is a prerequisite for phagophore and autophagosome formation. In addition, they regulate MTOR kinase and TFEB, thereby regulating the expression of ATG genes. TRIM proteins are efficient regulators of apoptosis and are crucial for regulating cell proliferation and tumor formation. Many TRIM proteins regulate intrinsic and extrinsic apoptosis via the cell surface receptors TGFBR2, TNFRSF1A, and FAS. Mitochondria modulate the anti- and proapoptotic functions of BCL2, BAX, BAK1, and CYCS. These proteins use a multipronged approach to regulate the intrinsic and extrinsic apoptotic pathways, culminating in coordinated activation or inhibition of the initiator and executor CASPs. Furthermore, TRIMs can have a dual effect in determining cell fate and are therefore crucial for cellular homeostasis. In this review, we discuss mechanistic insights into the role of TRIM proteins in regulating autophagy and apoptosis, which can be used to better understand cellular physiology. These findings can be used to develop therapeutic interventions to prevent or treat multiple genetic and infectious diseases.

Abstract
Bupi Yichang formula (BPYCF) has shown the anti-cancer potential; however, its effects on colon cancer and the mechanisms remain unknown. This study intended to explore the effects of BPYC on colon cancer and its underlying mechanisms. BPYCF-related and colon cancer-related targets were acquired from public databases, followed by differentially expressed genes (DEG) identification. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses were performed using clusterProfiler. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed using STRING database. CytoHubba and MCODE to screen the hub targets. A diagnostic model was built using random forest algorithm. Molecular docking was conducted using PyMOL and AutoDock. High-performance liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) analysis and in vitro validation were performed. Forty-six overlapping targets of BPYCF-related, colon cancer-related targets, and DEGs were obtained. GO and KEGG analyses showed that the targets were mainly enriched in response to lipopolysaccharide, neuronal cell body, protein serine/threonine/tyrosine, as well as C-type lectin receptor, NOD-like receptor, and TNF signaling pathways. Five targets were identified as the pivotal targets, among which, NOS3, CASP8, RIPK3, and TNFRSF10B were stably docked with the core active component, naringenin. Naringenin was also identified from the BPYCF sample through HPLC-MS analysis. In vitro experiments showed that BPYCF inhibited cell viability, reduced NOS3 expression, and elevated CASP8, RIPK3, and TNFRSF10B expression in colon cancer cells. BPYCF might treat colon cancer mainly by regulating NOS3, CASP8, RIPK3, and TN-FRSF10B. This study first revealed the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of BPYCF against colon cancer, paving the path for the development of targeted therapeutic strategies for this cancer in the clinic.

Abstract
Background: The objective of this study was to analyze the research trend of four RIPK genes (RIPK1, RIPK2, RIPK3, and RIPK4), their expression variations in tumors, and the correlation between RIPK2 expression and immune-related biomarkers in gastric cancer (GC). Methods: The PubMed database was utilized to investigate the research trend surrounding four RIPKs genes in tumors. The ULCAN database was employed to analyze the differential expression of these four RIPKs genes. TCGA data were utilized to examine the association between RIPK2 expression and various factors including tumor immune infiltration and immune-related biomarkers. Lastly, the impact of targeting RIPK2 on the growth of GC cells was confirmed through tumor formation assay, immunohistochemistry, and Tunnel assays. Results: In the field of tumor biology, there has been a sustained increase in research focused on the four RIPKs genes over the past decade. Four RIPKs genes are differentially expressed in a majority of tumors. Furthermore, this investigation has unveiled a connection between the expression of RIPK2 and the infiltration of four immune cells, as well as the presence of RNA methylation modifying enzymes, specifically m1A, m6A, and m5C, in GC. Additionally, RIPK2 expression was associated with the genes related to immune checkpoint regulation, as well as genes associated with immunoinhibitors and immunostimulators. It was also revealed that RIPK2 expression was correlated to immunotherapy response biomarkers, namely MSI and TMB, and tumor stemness. Ultimately, it was demonstrated that targeting the RIPK2 effectively regulated GC cells growth through the suppression of PCNA expression and the induction of apoptosis. Conclusion: The expression of RIPK2 is correlated with immune cell infiltration, RNA methyltransferase activity, tumor stemness, checkpoint-related genes, and immunotherapy-related biomarkers. Suppression of RIPK2 impedes the growth of GC cells in vivo. Consequently, RIPK2 holds promise as a viable immunotherapy target for various types of cancer.

Abstract
Ghrelin, comprising 28 amino acids, was initially discovered as a hormone that promotes growth hormones. The original focus was on the effects of ghrelin on controlling hunger and satiation. As the research further develops, the research scope of ghrelin has expanded to a wide range of systems and diseases. Nevertheless, the specific mechanisms remain incompletely understood. In recent years, substantial studies have demonstrated that ghrelin has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiapoptotic, and other effects, which could affect the signaling pathways of various kinds of programmed cell death (PCD) in treating diseases. However, the regulatory mechanisms underlying the function of ghrelin in different kinds of PCD have not been thoroughly illuminated. This review describes the relationship between ghrelin and four kinds of PCD (apoptosis, necroptosis, autophagy, and pyroptosis) and then introduces the clinical applications based on the different features of ghrelin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tripartite motif (TRIM) family proteins have more than 80 members and are widely found in various eukaryotic cells. Most TRIM family proteins participate in the ubiquitin-proteasome degradation system as E3-ubiquitin ligases; therefore, they play pivotal regulatory roles in the occurrence and development of tumors, including tumor immune escape. Due to the diversity of functional domains of TRIM family proteins, they can extensively participate in multiple signaling pathways of tumor immune escape through different substrates. In current research and clinical contexts, immune escape has become an urgent problem. The extensive participation of TRIM family proteins in curing tumors or preventing postoperative recurrence and metastasis makes them promising targets. AIM OF REVIEW The aim of the review is to make up for the gap in the current research on TRIM family proteins and tumor immune escape and propose future development directions according to the current progress and problems. KEY SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS OF REVIEW This up-to-date review summarizes the characteristics and biological functions of TRIM family proteins, discusses the mechanisms of TRIM family proteins involved in tumor immune escape, and highlights the specific mechanism from the level of structure-function-molecule-pathway-phenotype, including mechanisms at the level of protein domains and functions, at the level of molecules and signaling pathways, and at the level of cells and microenvironments. We also discuss the application potential of TRIM family proteins in tumor immunotherapy, such as possible treatment strategies for combination targeting TRIM family protein drugs and checkpoint inhibitors for improving cancer treatment.

Abstract
Immunotherapy has attracted widespread attention in cancer treatment and has achieved considerable success in the clinical treatment of some tumors, but it has a low response rate in most tumors. To achieve sufficient activation of the immune response, significant efforts using nanotechnology have been made to enhance cancer immune response. In recent years, the induction of various regulated cell death (RCD) has emerged as a potential antitumor immuno-strategy, including processes related to apoptosis, autophagy, necroptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, and cuproptosis. In particular, damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) released from the damaged membrane of dying cells act as in situ adjuvants to trigger antigen-specific immune responses by the exposure of an increased antigenicity. Thus, RCD-based immunotherapy offers a new approach for enhancing cancer treatment efficacy. Furthermore, incorporation with multimodal auxiliary therapies in cell death-based immunotherapy can trigger stronger immune responses, resulting in more efficient therapeutic outcome. This review discusses different RCD modalities and summarizes recent nanotechnology-mediated RCDs in cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Dermatomyositis is chronic autoimmune disease primarily affecting skin and muscles. Antibodies are key players of pathogenesis and are in strong correlation with distinct clinical phenotypes. We present a case and a comprehensive review of the literature on dermatomyositis patients with Anti TIF1 antibodies. METHODS PubMed and Web of Science databases were reviewed. 166 articles were identified; 95 of them were evaluated; 79 of them included to the study. 45 of the included articles were case reports 9 were case series and 25 were research articles. In total 1065 patients were identified but number of patients with available information for different clinical features varied. RESULTS 69.6% of the patients with Anti TIF1-γ were female. Prevalence of malignancy was 42.6% among patients with Anti TIF1-γ. Muscle weakness (83%), Gottron sign (82.2%), heliotrope rash (73.7%), nailfold capillary changes (67.7%), dysphagia (38.4%), and joint involvement (31.1%) were the most common clinical features seen in patients with Anti TIF1-γ. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) was reported among 8.7% of patients with Anti TIF1-γ. Advanced age, male gender, dysphagia, and V-neck rash were significant risk factors for malignancy, whereas juvenile age, ILD, TIF1-β antibodies and joint involvement were associated with a decreased risk for malignancy. Advanced age, malignancy, dysphagia, and muscle involvement were associated with an increased risk for mortality. CONCLUSIONS Patients with advanced age, male gender, dysphagia, and V-neck rash require strict cancer screening. Patients with advanced age, malignancy, dysphagia, and muscle involvement have poor prognosis and should receive aggressive treatment.

Abstract
In recent years, lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) has become a focus of attention due to its low response to treatment, poor prognosis, and lack of reliable indicators to predict the progression or therapeutic effect of LUAD. Different cell death patterns play a crucial role in tumor development and are promising for predicting LUAD prognosis. From the TCGA and GEO databases, we obtained bulk transcriptomes, single-cell transcriptomes, and clinical information. Genes in 15 types of cell death were analyzed for cell death index (CDI) signature establishment. The CDI signature using necroptosis + immunologic cell death-related genes was established in the TCGA cohort with the 1-, 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-year AUC values were 0.772, 0.736, 0.723, 0.795, and 0.743, respectively. The prognosis was significantly better in the low CDI group than in the high CDI group. We also investigated the relationship between the CDI signature and clinical variables, published prognosis biomarkers, immune cell infiltration, functional enrichment pathways, and immunity biomarkers. In vitro assay showed that HNRNPF and FGF2 promoted lung cancer cell proliferation and migration and were also involved in cell death. Therefore, as a robust prognosis biomarker, CDI signatures can screen for patients who might benefit from immunotherapy and improve diagnostic accuracy and LUAD patient outcomes.

E3 ligase TRIM28 promotes anti-PD-1 resistance in non-small cell lung cancer by enhancing the recruitment of myeloid-derived suppressor cells. J Exp Clin Cancer Res 2023; 42:275.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alterations in several tripartite motif-containing (TRIM) family proteins have been implicated in the pathogenesis of lung cancer. TRIM28, a member of the TRIM E3 ligase family, has been associated with tumorigenesis, cell proliferation, and inflammation. However, little is known about TRIM28 expression and its role in the immune microenvironment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS We assessed the clinical significance of TRIM28 in tissue microarrays and TCGA cohorts. We investigated the function of TRIM28 in syngeneic mouse tumor models, the KrasLSL-G12D/+; Tp53fl/fl (KP) mouse model, and humanized mice. Immune cell composition was analyzed using flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Our findings revealed a positive correlation between TRIM28 expression and the infiltration of suppressive myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in NSCLC. Moreover, silencing TRIM28 enhanced the efficacy of anti-PD-1 immunotherapy by reshaping the inflamed tumor microenvironment. Mechanistically, we demonstrated that TRIM28 could physically interact with receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) and promote K63-linked ubiquitination of RIPK1, which is crucial for sustaining activation of the NF-κB pathway. Mutagenesis of the E3 ligase domain corroborated the essential role of E3 ligase activity in TRIM28-mediated NF-κB activation. Further experiments revealed that TRIM28 could upregulate the expression of CXCL1 by activating NF-κB signaling. CXCL1 could bind to CXCR2 on MDSCs and promote their migration to the tumor microenvironment. TRIM28 knockdown increased responsiveness to anti-PD-1 therapy in immunocompetent mice, characterized by increased CD8+T tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and decreased MDSCs. CONCLUSION The present study identified TRIM28 as a promoter of chemokine-driven recruitment of MDSCs through RIPK1-mediated NF-κB activation, leading to the suppression of infiltrating activated CD8+T cells and the development of anti-PD-1 resistance. Understanding the regulation of MDSC recruitment and function by TRIM28 provides crucial insights into the association between TRIM28 signaling and the development of an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. These insights may inform the development of combination therapies to enhance the effectiveness of immune checkpoint blockade therapy in NSCLC.

Abstract
Cell death is a fundamental physiological process in all living organisms. Processes such as embryonic development, organ formation, tissue growth, organismal immunity, and drug response are accompanied by cell death. In recent years with the development of electron microscopy as well as biological techniques, especially the discovery of novel death modes such as ferroptosis, cuprotosis, alkaliptosis, oxeiptosis, and disulfidptosis, researchers have been promoted to have a deeper understanding of cell death modes. In this systematic review, we examined the current understanding of modes of cell death, including the recently discovered novel death modes. Our analysis highlights the common and unique pathways of these death modes, as well as their impact on surrounding cells and the organism as a whole. Our aim was to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of research on cell death, with a focus on identifying gaps in our knowledge and opportunities for future investigation. We also presented a new insight for macroscopic intracellular survival patterns, namely that intracellular molecular homeostasis is central to the balance of different cell death modes, and this viewpoint can be well justified by the signaling crosstalk of different death modes. These concepts can facilitate the future research about cell death in clinical diagnosis, drug development, and therapeutic modalities.

Abstract
Background Necroptosis is a novel programmed cell death pathway proposed in 2005, which is mainly activated by the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family and mediates cellular disassembly via receptor interacting serine/threonine kinase 1 (RIPK1), receptor interacting serine/threonine kinase 3 (RIPK3) and mixed lineage kinase domain like pseudokinase (MLKL). We tried to analyze the relationship of necroptosis-related genes (NRGs) expression with colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) and propose potential therapeutic targets through immunological analysis. Methods First, we evaluated the expression of NRGs in COAD patients and constructed a prognostic signature. The prognostic signature was validated using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)-COAD and GSE39582 datasets, respectively. And the Kaplan-Meier analysis, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, and principal component analysis were used to evaluate the signature. Then we analyzed the enrichment of NRGs in the signature using Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses. Finally, we analyzed the immunological characteristics of the COAD patients by single sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) and predicted the possible immune checkpoints. Results We constructed a prognostic signature with 8 NRGs (RIPK3, MLKL, TRAF2, CXCL1, RBCK1, CDKN2A, JMJD7-PLA2G4B and CAMK2B). The Kaplan-Meier analysis, ROC curves, and principal component analysis demonstrated good predictivity of the signature. In addition, we constructed a nomogram with good individualized predictive ability (C-index =0.772). The immunological analysis revealed that the prognosis of COAD was associated with autoimmune function, and we proposed 10 potential therapeutic targets. Conclusions Overall, we constructed an NRGs prognostic signature and suggested potential therapeutic targets for the COAD treatment.

Abstract
DNA mutations are necessary drivers of cancer, yet only a small subset of mutated cells go on to cause the disease. To date, the mechanisms that determine which rare subset of cells transform and initiate tumorigenesis remain unclear. Here, we take advantage of a unique model of intrinsic developmental heterogeneity (Trim28+/D9) and demonstrate that stochastic early life epigenetic variation can trigger distinct cancer-susceptibility 'states' in adulthood. We show that these developmentally primed states are characterized by differential methylation patterns at typically silenced heterochromatin, and that these epigenetic signatures are detectable as early as 10 days of age. The differentially methylated loci are enriched for genes with known oncogenic potential. These same genes are frequently mutated in human cancers, and their dysregulation correlates with poor prognosis. These results provide proof-of-concept that intrinsic developmental heterogeneity can prime individual, life-long cancer risk.

Abstract
Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) plays a crucial role in cell mitosis and has been associated with necroptosis. However, the role of PLK1 and necroptosis in lung adenocarcinoma (LA) remains unclear. In this study, we analyzed The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Genotype-Tissue Expression databases to evaluate the prognostic value and mechanistic role of PLK1 in LA. PLK1 was found to be highly expressed in LA and was positively associated with advanced disease staging and poor survival outcomes. Functional enrichment analysis showed that PLK1 was involved in cell mitosis, neurotransmitter transmission, and drug metabolism. Further analysis using single-sample gene set enrichment analysis and ESTIMATE algorithm revealed a correlation between PLK1 expression and immune infiltration in LA. Silencing of PLK1 using miRNA transfection in LA cells reduced cell proliferation and increased apoptosis, as well as upregulating the expression of necroptosis-related proteins, such as RIPK1, RIPK3, and MLKL. Additionally, nude mouse transplantation tumor experiments demonstrated that silencing PLK1 reduced the growth capacity of LA cells. These findings suggest that PLK1 plays a critical role in LA progression by regulating necroptosis and immune infiltration, and may serve as a potential therapeutic target for immunotherapy. Furthermore, PLK1 expression can be used as a prognostic biomarker for LA patients.

Abstract
Immunogenic cell death (ICD) has been a revolutionary modality in cancer treatment since it kills primary tumors and prevents recurrent malignancy simultaneously. ICD represents a particular form of cancer cell death accompanied by production of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) that can be recognized by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), which enhances infiltration of effector T cells and potentiates antitumor immune responses. Various treatment methods can elicit ICD involving chemo- and radio-therapy, phototherapy and nanotechnology to efficiently convert dead cancer cells into vaccines and trigger the antigen-specific immune responses. Nevertheless, the efficacy of ICD-induced therapies is restrained due to low accumulation in the tumor sites and damage of normal tissues. Thus, researchers have been devoted to overcoming these problems with novel materials and strategies. In this review, current knowledge on different ICD modalities, various ICD inducers, development and application of novel ICD-inducing strategies are summarized. Moreover, the prospects and challenges are briefly outlined to provide reference for future design of novel immunotherapy based on ICD effect.

Abstract
SCOPE Systemic heat stress (or heatstroke; HS) induces germ cell death and spermatogenesis disorders in men and male mammals. Also, it affects the immune environment of the circulatory system promoting gut inflammation and intestinal permeability, leading to pathogenic infection. In this study, the crosstalk between the gut and testis (gut-testis axis) under HS is explored, by examining the effects of intestinal immune status on the health of the male reproductive system in mice. METHODS AND RESULTS A mouse model of systemic heat stress is established to investigate the effect of probiotics on testis health. The results reveal that pro-inflammatory factor receptor activation pathway and pathogen infection response pathway are significantly upregulated in HS testes, leading to necroptosis, while pro-inflammatory factor and endotoxin are detected locally in the intestine and then entered the blood. The study then uses probiotics to intervene in gut microbiota, which results in milder gut microbial changes, lower inflammatory responses in the HS gut, and less necroptosis in the HS testes. CONCLUSION Probiotics-based remodeling of gut microbiota (GM) reduces the proliferation of abnormal bacteria and decreases the spread of gut-derived inflammatory mediators into the blood circulation under long-term systemic heat stress, which relieves inflammation on germ cells.

J Cancer Res Clin Oncol 2023; 149:10217-10234. [PMID: 37269345 DOI: 10.1007/s00432-023-04886-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2023] [Accepted: 05/19/2023] [Indexed: 06/05/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Research on the relationships between long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and cancer is attractive and has progressed very rapidly. Necroptosis-related biomarkers can potentially be used for predicting the prognosis of cancer patients. This study aimed to establish a necroptosis-related lncRNA (NPlncRNA) signature to predict the prognosis of patients with bladder cancer (BCa). METHODS First, NPlncRNAs were identified using Pearson correlation analysis and machine learning algorithms, including SVM-RFE, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression, and random forest. The prognostic NPlncRNA signature was constructed using univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses and the diagnostic efficacy and clinically predictive efficiency were evaluated and validated. The biological functions of the signature were analysed using gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and functional enrichment analysis. We further integrated the RNA-seq dataset (GSE133624) with our outcomes to reveal the crucial NPlncRNA that was functionally verified by assessing cell viability, proliferation, and apoptosis in BCa cells. RESULTS The prognostic NPlncRNAs signature was composed of PTOV1-AS2, AC083862.2, MAFG-DT, AC074117.1, AL049840.3, and AC078778.1, and a risk score based on this signature was proven to be an independent prognostic factor for the BCa patients, indicated by poor overall survival (OS) of patients in the high-risk group. Additionally, the NPlncRNAs signature had a higher diagnostic validity than that of other clinicopathological variables, with a greater area under the receptor operating characteristic and concordance index curves. A nomogram established by integrating clinical variables and risk score confirmed that the signature can accurately predict the OS of patients and has high clinical practicability. Functional enrichment analysis and GSEA revealed that some cancer-related and necroptosis-related pathways were enriched in high-risk groups. The crucial NPlncRNA MAFG-DT was associated with poor prognosis and was highly expressed in BCa cells. MAFG-DT silencing notably inhibited proliferation and enhanced apoptosis of BCa cells. CONCLUSIONS A novel prognostic NPlncRNAs signature was identified in BCa in this study, which provides potential therapeutic targets among which MAFG-DT plays critical roles in the tumorigenesis of BCa.

Abstract
Background: Necroptosis contributes significantly to colon adenocarcinoma (COAD). We aim to assess the relationship between immunoinfiltration and stemness in COAD patients through the development of a risk score profile using necroptosis-related long noncoding RNAs (NRLs). Methods: Our study was based on gene expression data and relevant clinical information from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Necroptosis-related genes (NRGs) were obtained from the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genome (KEGG) database. Pearson correlation analysis, Cox regression, and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression were used to determine the NRL prognositic signature (NRLPS). NRLs expression was examined using qRT-PCR method. Several algorithms were used to identify relationships between immune cell infiltration and NRLPS risk scores. Further analysis of somatic mutations, tumor stemness index (TSI), and drug sensitivity were also explored. Results: To construct NRLPS, 15 lncRNAs were investigated. Furthermore, NRLPS patients with high-risk subgroups had lower survival rates than that of patients with low-risk subgroups. Using GSEA analysis, NRL was found to be enriched in Notch, Hedgehog and Smoothened pathways. Immune infiltration analysis showed significant differences in CD8+ T cells, dendritic cell DCs, and CD4+ T cells between the two risk groups. In addition, our NRLPS showed a relevance with the regulation of tumor microenvironment, tumor mutation burden (TMB) and stemness. Finally, NRLPS demonstrated potential applications in predicting the efficacy of immunotherapy and chemotherapy in patients with COAD. Conclusion: Based on NRLs, a prognostic model was developed for COAD patients that allows a personalized tailoring immunotherapy and chemotherapy to be tailored.

Abstract
The secretory properties of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) play predominant roles in shaping a pro-metastatic tumor microenvironment. The present study demonstrated that SLIT2, an axon guidance protein, produced by CAFs and promoted gastric cancer (GC) metastasis in two gastric cancer cell lines (AGS and MKN45) by binding to roundabout guidance receptor 1 (ROBO1). Mass-spectrometry analysis revealed that ROBO1 could interact with NEK9, a serine/threonine kinase. And their mutual binding activities were further enhanced by SLIT2. Domain analysis revealed the kinase domain of NEK9 was critical in its interaction with the intracellular domain (ICD) of ROBO1, and it also directly phosphorylated tripartite motif containing 28 (TRIM28) and cortactin (CTTN) in AGS and MKN45 cells. TRIM28 function as a transcriptional elongation factor, which directly facilitate CTTN activation. In addition, Bioinformatics analysis and experimental validation identified transcriptional regulation of STAT3 and NF-κB p100 by TRIM28, and a synergetic transcription of CTTN by STAT3 and NF-κB p100 was also observed in AGS and MKN45. Therefore, CAF-derived SLIT2 increased the expression and phosphorylation levels of CTTN, which induced cytoskeletal reorganization and GC cells metastasis. A simultaneous increase in the expression levels of NEK9, TRIM28 and CTTN was found in metastatic GC lesions compared with paired non-cancerous tissues and primary cancer lesions via IHC and Multiplex IHC. The analysis of the data from a cohort of patients with GC revealed that increased levels of NEK9, TRIM28 and CTTN were associated with a decreased overall survival rate. On the whole, these findings revealed the connections of CAFs and cancer cells through SLIT2/ROBO1 and inflammatory signaling, and the key molecules involved in this process may serve as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for GC.

Abstract
Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly prevalent and fatal cancer. The role of PANoptosis, a novel form of programmed cell death, in HCC is yet to be fully understood. This study focuses on identifying and analyzing PANoptosis-associated differentially expressed genes in HCC (HPAN_DEGs), aiming to enhance our understanding of HCC pathogenesis and potential treatment strategies. Methods We analyzed HCC differentially expressed genes from TCGA and IGCG databases and mapped them to the PANoptosis gene set, identifying 69 HPAN_DEGs. These genes underwent enrichment analyses, and consensus clustering analysis was used to determine three distinct HCC subgroups based on their expression profiles. The immune characteristics and mutation landscape of these subgroups were evaluated, and drug sensitivity was predicted using the HPAN-index and relevant databases. Results The HPAN_DEGs were mainly enriched in pathways associated with the cell cycle, DNA damage, Drug metabolism, Cytokines, and Immune receptors. We identified three HCC subtypes (Cluster_1, SFN+PDK4-; Cluster_2, SFN-PDK4+; Cluster_3, SFN/PDK4 intermediate expression) based on the expression profiles of the 69 HPAN_DEGs. These subtypes exhibited distinct clinical outcomes, immune characteristics, and mutation landscapes. The HPAN-index, generated by machine learning using the expression levels of 69 HPAN_DEGs, was identified as an independent prognostic factor for HCC. Moreover, the high HPAN-index group exhibited a high response to immunotherapy, while the low HPAN-index group showed sensitivity to small molecule targeted drugs. Notably, we observed that the YWHAB gene plays a significant role in Sorafenib resistance. Conclusion This study identified 69 HPAN_DEGs crucial to tumor growth, immune infiltration, and drug resistance in HCC. Additionally, we discovered three distinct HCC subtypes and constructed an HPAN-index to predict immunotherapeutic response and drug sensitivity. Our findings underscore the role of YWHAB in Sorafenib resistance, presenting valuable insights for personalized therapeutic strategy development in HCC.

Abstract
Necroptosis is a programmed form of necrotic cell death that serves as a host gatekeeper for defense against invasion by certain pathogens. Previous studies have uncovered the essential role of necroptosis in tumor progression and implied the potential for novel therapies targeting necroptosis. However, no comprehensive analysis of multi-omics data has been conducted to better understand the relationship between necroptosis and tumor. We developed the necroptosis index (NI) to uncover the effect of necroptosis in most cancers. NI not only correlated with clinical characteristics of multiple tumors, but also could influence drug sensitivity in glioma. Based on necroptosis-related differentially expressed genes, the consensus clustering was used to classify glioma patients into two NI subgroups. Then, we revealed NI subgroup I were more sensitive to immunotherapy, particularly anti-PD1 therapy. This new NI-based classification may have prospective predictive factors for prognosis and guide physicians in prioritizing immunotherapy for potential responders.

Abstract
The transcription factor nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) plays a complicated role in multiple tumors. Mounting evidence demonstrates that NF-κB activation supports tumorigenesis and development by enhancing cell proliferation, invasion, and metastasis, preventing cell death, facilitating angiogenesis, regulating tumor immune microenvironment and metabolism, and inducing therapeutic resistance. Notably, NF-κB functions as a double-edged sword exerting positive or negative influences on cancers. In this review, we summarize and discuss recent research on the regulation of NF-κB in cancer cell deaths, therapy resistance, and NF-κB-based nano delivery systems.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is one of the most common immune-mediated arthritic diseases worldwide. Despite considerable efforts to elucidate its pathogenesis, the molecular mechanisms underlying AS are still not fully understood. METHODS To identify candidate genes involved in AS progression, the researchers downloaded the microarray dataset GSE25101 from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. They identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and functionally enriched them for analysis. They also constructed a protein-protein interaction network (PPI) using STRING and performed cytoHubba modular analysis, immune cell and immune function analysis, functional analysis and drug prediction.The results showed that DEGs were mainly associated with histone modifications, chromatin organisation, transcriptional coregulator activity, transcriptional co-activator activity, histone acetyltransferase complexes and protein acetyltransferase complexes. RESULTS The researchers analysed the differences in expression between the CONTROL and TREAT groups in terms of immunity to determine their effect on TNF-α secretion. By obtaining hub genes, they predicted two therapeutic agents, AY 11-7082 and myricetin. CONCLUSION The DEGs, hub genes and predicted drugs identified in this study contribute to our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the onset and progression of AS. They also provide candidate targets for the diagnosis and treatment of AS.

Abstract
Cell death constitutes an indispensable part of the organismal balance in the human body. Generally, cell death includes regulated cell death (RCD) and accidental cell death (ACD), reflecting the intricately molecule-dependent process and the uncontrolled response, respectively. Furthermore, diverse RCD pathways correlate with multiple diseases, such as tumors and neurodegenerative diseases. Meanwhile, with the development of precision medicine, novel nano-based materials have gradually been applied in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of tumor patients. As the carrier, organic, inorganic, and biomimetic nanomaterials could facilitate the distribution, improve solubility and bioavailability, enhance biocompatibility and decrease the toxicity of drugs in the body, therefore, benefiting tumor patients with better survival outcomes and quality of life. In terms of the most studied cell death pathways, such as apoptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis, plenty of studies have explored specific types of nanomaterials targeting the molecules and signals in these pathways. However, no attempt was made to display diverse nanomaterials targeting different RCD pathways comprehensively. In this review, we elaborate on the potential mechanisms of RCD, including intrinsic and extrinsic apoptosis, necroptosis, ferroptosis, pyroptosis, autophagy-dependent cell death, and other cell death pathways together with corresponding nanomaterials. The thorough presentation of RCD pathways and diverse nano-based materials may provide a wider cellular and molecular landscape of tumor diagnosis and treatments.

Abstract
Cancer immunotherapy has been acknowledged as a new paradigm for cancer treatment, with notable therapeutic effects on certain cancer types. Despite their significant potential, clinical studies over the past decade have revealed that cancer immunotherapy has low response rates in the majority of solid tumors. One of the key causes for poor responses is known to be the relatively low immunogenicity of solid tumors. Because most solid tumors are immune desert 'cold tumors' with antitumor immunity blocked from the onset of innate immunity, combination therapies that combine validated T-based therapies with approaches that can increase tumor-immunogenicity are being considered as relevant therapeutic options. This review paper focuses on immunogenic cell death (ICD) as a way of enhancing immunogenicity in tumor tissues. We will thoroughly review how ICDs such as necroptosis, pyroptosis, and ferroptosis can improve anti-tumor immunity and outline clinical trials targeting ICD. Finally, we will discuss the potential of ICD inducers. as an adjuvant for cancer immunotherapy.[BMB Reports 2023; 56(5): 275-286].

Identification of featured necroptosis-related genes and imbalanced immune infiltration in sepsis via machine learning. Front Genet 2023; 14:1158029. [PMID: 37091800 PMCID: PMC10117955 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2023.1158029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2023] [Accepted: 03/29/2023] [Indexed: 04/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: The precise diagnostic and prognostic biological markers were needed in immunotherapy for sepsis. Considering the role of necroptosis and immune cell infiltration in sepsis, differentially expressed necroptosis-related genes (DE-NRGs) were identified, and the relationship between DE-NRGs and the immune microenvironment in sepsis was analyzed.Methods: Machine learning algorithms were applied for screening hub genes related to necroptosis in the training cohort. CIBERSORT algorithms were employed for immune infiltration landscape analysis. Then, the diagnostic value of these hub genes was verified by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and nomogram. In addition, consensus clustering was applied to divide the septic patients into different subgroups, and quantitative real-time PCR was used to detect the mRNA levels of the hub genes between septic patients (SP) (n = 30) and healthy controls (HC) (n = 15). Finally, a multivariate prediction model based on heart rate, temperature, white blood count and 4 hub genes was established.Results: A total of 47 DE-NRGs were identified between SP and HC and 4 hub genes (BACH2, GATA3, LEF1, and BCL2) relevant to necroptosis were screened out via multiple machine learning algorithms. The high diagnostic value of these hub genes was validated by the ROC curve and Nomogram model. Besides, the immune scores, correlation analysis and immune cell infiltrations suggested an immunosuppressive microenvironment in sepsis. Septic patients were divided into 2 clusters based on the expressions of hub genes using consensus clustering, and the immune microenvironment landscapes and immune function between the 2 clusters were significantly different. The mRNA levels of the 4 hub genes significantly decreased in SP as compared with HC. The area under the curve (AUC) was better in the multivariate prediction model than in other indicators.Conclusion: This study indicated that these necroptosis hub genes might have great potential in prognosis prediction and personalized immunotherapy for sepsis.

Abstract
Oncolytic viruses (OVs) are at the forefront of biologicals for cancer treatment. They represent a diverse landscape of naturally occurring viral strains and genetically modified viruses that, either as single agents or as part of combination therapies, are being evaluated in preclinical and clinical settings. As the field gains momentum, the research on OVs has been shifting efforts to expand our understanding of the complex interplay between the virus, the tumor and the immune system, with the aim of rationally designing more efficient therapeutic interventions. Nowadays, the potential of an OV platform is no longer defined exclusively by the targeted replication and cancer cell killing capacities of the virus, but by its contribution as an immunostimulator, triggering the transformation of the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) into a place where innate and adaptive immunity players can efficiently engage and lead the development of tumor-specific long-term memory responses. Here we review the immune mechanisms and host responses induced by ssRNA(-) (negative-sense single-stranded RNA) viruses as OV platforms. We focus on two ssRNA(-) OV candidates: Newcastle disease virus (NDV), an avian paramyxovirus with one of the longest histories of utilization as an OV, and influenza A (IAV) virus, a well-characterized human pathogen with extraordinary immunostimulatory capacities that is steadily advancing as an OV candidate through the development of recombinant IAV attenuated platforms.

Abstract
Necroptosis refers to a regulated form of cell death induced by a variety of stimuli. Although it has been implicated in the pathogenesis of many diseases, there is evidence to support that necroptosis is not purely a detrimental process. We propose that necroptosis is a "double-edged sword" in terms of physiology and pathology. On the one hand, necroptosis can trigger an uncontrolled inflammatory cascade response, resulting in severe tissue injury, disease chronicity, and even tumor progression. On the other hand, necroptosis functions as a host defense mechanism, exerting antipathogenic and antitumor effects through its powerful pro-inflammatory properties. Moreover, necroptosis plays an important role during both development and regeneration. Misestimation of the multifaceted features of necroptosis may influence the development of therapeutic approaches targeting necroptosis. In this review, we summarize current knowledge of the pathways involved in necroptosis as well as five important steps that determine its occurrence. The dual role of necroptosis in a variety of physiological and pathological conditions is also highlighted. Future studies and the development of therapeutic strategies targeting necroptosis should fully consider the complicated properties of this type of regulated cell death.

BMC Cancer 2023; 23:76. [PMID: 36690975 PMCID: PMC9872371 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-023-10544-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2022] [Accepted: 01/12/2023] [Indexed: 01/25/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric cancer peritoneal metastasis (GCPM) is an important cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a key role in the regulation of GCPM, but the underlying mechanisms have not been elucidated. METHODS High-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was performed on four groups of clinical specimens (non-metastatic gastric cancer primary tumor, adjacent normal gastric mucosal tissue, gastric cancer primary tumor with peritoneal metastasis and adjacent normal gastric mucosal tissue). After sequencing, many lncRNAs and mRNAs were screened for further Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA). GCPM-related hub lncRNAs and genes were identified by cytoHubba and validated by Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. GO, KEGG and GSEA showed GCPM-related pathways. Correlation analysis revealed the potential relationship between hub lncRNAs and genes. RESULTS By analyzing lncRNA expression data by WGCNA, we found that blue module was highly correlated with GCPM (r = 0.44, p = 0.04) and six lncRNAs involved in this module (DNM3OS, lnc-MFAP2-53, lnc-PPIAL4C-4, lnc-RFNG-1, lnc-TRIM28-14 and lnc-YARS2-4) were identified. We then performed qRT-PCR validation of gastric cancer specimens and found that the expression of lnc-RFNG-1 and lnc-TRIM28-14 was significantly increased in gastric cancer tissues with peritoneal metastasis. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed shorter overall survival time (OS) for gastric cancer patients with high expression of lnc-TRIM28-14. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis showed that lnc-TRIM28-14 could improve the sensitivity and specificity of GCPM diagnosis. In addition, we identified three key mRNAs (CD93, COL3A1 and COL4A1) associated with gastric cancer peritoneal metastasis through WGCNA analysis and clinical specimen validation. Moreover, there was a positive correlation between lnc-TRIM28-14 and the expression of CD93 and COL4A1 in gastric cancer peritoneal metastasis, suggesting a regulatory relationship between them. Subsequent GO, KEGG and GSEA analysis suggested that ECM-receptor interaction and focal adhesion were the hub pathways of GCPM. CONCLUSION In summary, lnc-RFNG-1, lnc-TRIM28-14, CD93, COL3A1 and COL4A1 could be novel tumor biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets for GCPM.

Abstract
Tripartite motif-containing 28 (TRIM28) belongs to tripartite motif (TRIM) family. TRIM28 not only binds and degrades its downstream target, but also acts as a transcription co-factor to inhibit gene expression. More and more studies have shown that TRIM28 plays a vital role in tumor genesis and progression. Here, we reviewed the role of TRIM28 in tumor proliferation, migration, invasion and cell death. Moreover, we also summarized the important role of TRIM28 in tumor stemness sustainability and immune regulation. Because of the importance of TRIM28 in tumors, TIRM28 may be a candidate target for anti-tumor therapy and play an important role in tumor diagnosis and treatment in the future.

Abstract
Necroptosis is one of programmed cell death discovered recently, which involves in tumorigenesis, cancer metastasis, and immune reaction. We studied the necroptosis-related genes (NRGs) in ovarian cancer (OV) tissues using data from public databases, which separated into two NRGclusters. Patients in cluster A would have severe clinical characteristics, poor prognosis, and worse tumor microenvironment infiltration characteristics. The NRG score was achieved through the Cox analysis, along with a construction of a prognostic model. People with lower risk score would have better prognosis, lower expression of redox related genes, higher immunogenicity, and better effect on immunotherapy. In addition, the NRG score was closely related to cancer stem cell index, copy number variations, tumor mutation load, and chemosensitivity. We built a nomogram to enhance clinical application of the signature. These outcomes can help use know the function of NRGs in OV and provide new ideas for evaluating clinical outcome and developing more effective treatment protocols.

Construction of a Necroptosis-Related lncRNA Signature for Predicting Prognosis and Immune Response in Kidney Renal Clear Cell Carcinoma. Cells 2022; 12:cells12010066. [PMID: 36611858 PMCID: PMC9818734 DOI: 10.3390/cells12010066] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2022] [Revised: 12/03/2022] [Accepted: 12/20/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Necroptosis is a new type of programmed cell death and involves the occurrence and development of various cancers. Moreover, the aberrantly expressed lncRNA can also affect tumorigenesis, migration, and invasion. However, there are few types of research on the necroptosis-related lncRNA (NRL), especially in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC). In this study, we analyzed the sequencing data obtained from the TGCA-KIRC dataset, then applied the LASSO and COX analysis to identify 6 NRLs (AC124854.1, AL117336.1, DLGAP1-AS2, EPB41L4A-DT, HOXA-AS2, and LINC02100) to construct a risk model. Patients suffering from KIRC were divided into high- and low-risk groups according to the risk score, and the patients in the low-risk group had a longer OS. This signature can be used as an indicator to predict the prognosis of KIRC independent of other clinicopathological features. In addition, the gene set enrichment analysis showed that some tumor and immune-associated pathways were more enriched in a high-risk group. We also found significant differences between the high and low-risk groups in the infiltrating immune cells, immune functions, and expression of immune checkpoint molecules. Finally, we use the "pRRophetic" package to complete the drug sensitivity prediction, and the risk score could reflect patients' response to 8 small molecule compounds. In general, NRLs divided KIRC into two subtypes with different risk scores. Furthermore, this signature based on the 6 NRLs could provide a promising method to predict the prognosis and immune response of KIRC patients. To some extent, our findings helped give a reference for further research between NRLs and KIRC and find more effective therapeutic drugs for KIRC.

Targeting cell death pathways for cancer therapy: recent developments in necroptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, and cuproptosis research. J Hematol Oncol 2022; 15:174.

Abstract
Many types of human cells self-destruct to maintain biological homeostasis and defend the body against pathogenic substances. This process, called regulated cell death (RCD), is important for various biological activities, including the clearance of aberrant cells. Thus, RCD pathways represented by apoptosis have increased in importance as a target for the development of cancer medications in recent years. However, because tumor cells show avoidance to apoptosis, which causes treatment resistance and recurrence, numerous studies have been devoted to alternative cancer cell mortality processes, namely necroptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, and cuproptosis; these RCD modalities have been extensively studied and shown to be crucial to cancer therapy effectiveness. Furthermore, evidence suggests that tumor cells undergoing regulated death may alter the immunogenicity of the tumor microenvironment (TME) to some extent, rendering it more suitable for inhibiting cancer progression and metastasis. In addition, other types of cells and components in the TME undergo the abovementioned forms of death and induce immune attacks on tumor cells, resulting in enhanced antitumor responses. Hence, this review discusses the molecular processes and features of necroptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, and cuproptosis and the effects of these novel RCD modalities on tumor cell proliferation and cancer metastasis. Importantly, it introduces the complex effects of novel forms of tumor cell death on the TME and the regulated death of other cells in the TME that affect tumor biology. It also summarizes the potential agents and nanoparticles that induce or inhibit novel RCD pathways and their therapeutic effects on cancer based on evidence from in vivo and in vitro studies and reports clinical trials in which RCD inducers have been evaluated as treatments for cancer patients. Lastly, we also summarized the impact of modulating the RCD processes on cancer drug resistance and the advantages of adding RCD modulators to cancer treatment over conventional treatments.

Abstract
Background: Bladder cancer (BLCA) is the sixth most common cancer in men, with an increasing incidence of morbidity and mortality. Necroptosis is a type of programmed cell death and plays a critical role in the biological processes of bladder cancer (BLCA). However, current studies focusing on long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) and necroptosis in cancer are limited, and there is no research about necroptosis-related lncRNAs (NRLs) in BLCA. Methods: We obtained the RNA-seq data and corresponding clinical information of BLCA from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. The seven determined prognostic NLRs were analyzed by several methods and verified by RT-qPCR. Then, a risk signature was established based on the aforementioned prognostic NLRs. To identify it, we evaluated its prognostic value by Kaplan-Meier (K-M) survival curve and receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis. Moreover, the relationships between risk signature and clinical features, functional enrichment, immune landscape, and drug resistance were explored as well. Results: We constructed a signature based on seven defined NLRs (HMGA2-AS1, LINC02489, ETV7-AS1, EMSLR, AC005954.1, STAG3L5P-PVRIG2P-PILRB, and LINC02178). Patients in the low-risk cohort had longer survival times than those in the high-risk cohort, and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) value of risk signature was higher than other clinical variables. Functional analyses, the infiltrating level of immune cells and functions, ESTIMATE score, and immune checkpoint analysis all indicated that the high-risk group was in a relatively immune-activated state. In terms of treatments, patients in the high-risk group were more sensitive to immunotherapy, especially anti-PD1/PD-L1 immunotherapy and conventional chemotherapy. Conclusion: The novel NLR signature acts as an invaluable tool for predicting prognosis, immune microenvironment, and drug resistance in muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) patients.

Abstract
Necroptosis is a newly developed cell death pathway that differs from necrosis and apoptosis; however, the potential mechanism of necroptosis-related genes in EAC and whether they are associated with the prognosis of EAC patients remain unclear. We obtained 159 NRGs from the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and performed differential expression analysis of the NRGs in 9 normal samples and 78 EAC tumor samples derived from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Finally, we screened 38 differentially expressed NRGs (DE-NRGs). The results of the GO and KEGG analyses indicated that the DE-NRGs were mainly enriched in the functions and pathways associated with necroptosis. Protein interaction network (PPI) analysis revealed that TNF, CASP1, and IL-1B were the core genes of the network. A risk score model based on four DE-NRGs was constructed by Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression, and the results showed that the higher the risk score, the worse the survival. The model achieved more efficient diagnosis compared with the clinicopathological variables, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of 0.885. The prognostic value of this model was further validated using Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets. Gene set enrichment analyses (GSEA) demonstrated that several metabolism-related pathways were activated in the high-risk population. Single-sample GSEA (ssGSEA) provided further confirmation that this prognostic model was remarkably associated with the immune status of EAC patients. Finally, the nomogram map exhibited a certain prognostic prediction efficiency, with a C-index of 0.792 and good consistency. Thus, the prognostic model based on four NRGs could better predict the prognosis of EAC and help to elucidate the mechanism of necroptosis-related genes in EAC, which can provide guidance for the target prediction and clinical treatment of EAC patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bladder cancer (BC) accounts for the most common urologic malignancy, leading to a heavy social burden over the world. We aim to search for a novel prognostic biomarker with necroptosis-related lncRNAs of bladder cancer in this study. METHODS We download the RNA-sequencing data and corresponding clinical information of BC patients from TCGA. We performed Pearson correlation analysis to identify necroptosis-related lncRNAs (NRlncRNAs). Then, we used univariate Cox regression, Lasso Cox analysis, and multivariate Cox regression to construct the optimal prognostic model. Next, we used Kaplan-Meier curves, Cox regression, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, nomogram, and stratified survival analysis to evaluate the capacity of the prognostic signature. Furthermore, gene set enrichments in the signature and the correlation between prognostic signature and necroptosis genes, tumor microenvironment, immune infiltration, and immune checkpoints of BC were also explored. RESULTS A 7-NRlncRNAs signature comprising FKBP14-AS1, AL731567.1, LINC02178, AC011503.2, LINC02195, AC068196.1, and AL136084.2 was constructed to predict the prognosis of BC in this research. Cox regression analysis showed that the signature could be an independent prognostic factor for BC patients (P < 0.001). Compared to other clinicopathological characteristics, this signature displayed a better capacity of prediction with the area under the curve (AUC) of 0.745. Stratified analysis using various clinical variables demonstrated that the prognostic signature has good clinical fitness. GSEA showed that focal adhesion and the WNT signaling pathway were enriched in the high-risk group. Immune infiltration analysis indicated that the signature was significantly inversely correlated with infiltration of CD8+ T cells and CD4+ T cells while positively correlated with macrophages and cancer associated fibroblasts. Immune checkpoint analysis revealed that the expressions of protective factors were significantly lower in the high-risk group, while expressions of cancer promotors were significantly higher in this group. The gene expression analysis displayed that necroptosis genes such as FADD, FAS, MYC, STAT3, PLK1, LEF1, EGFR, RIPK3, CASP8, BRAF, ID1, GATA3, MYCN, CD40, and TNFRSF21 were significantly different between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS The 7-NRlncRNAs signature can predict the overall survival of BC and may provide help for the individualized treatment of BC patients.

Abstract
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive form of lung cancer characterized by dismal prognosis. Although SCLC may initially respond well to platinum-based chemotherapy, it ultimately relapses and is almost universally resistant to this treatment. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been approved as the first- and third-line therapeutic regimens for extensive-stage or relapsed SCLC, respectively. Despite this, only a minority of patients with SCLC respond to ICIs partly due to a lack of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). Transforming the immune "cold" tumors into "hot" tumors that are more likely to respond to ICIs is the main challenge for SCLC therapy. Ferroptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis represent the newly discovered immunogenic cell death (ICD) forms. Promoting ICD may alter the tumor microenvironment (TME) and the influx of TILs, and combination of their inducers and ICIs plays a synergistical role in enhancing antitumor effects. Nevertheless, the combination of the above two modalities has not been systematically discussed in SCLC therapy. In the present review, we summarize the roles of distinct ICD mechanisms on antitumor immunity and recent advances of ferroptosis-, necroptosis- and pyroptosis-inducing agents, and present perspectives on these cell death mechanisms in immunotherapy of SCLC.

Abstract
Receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) is the primary regulator of necroptotic cell death. RIPK3 expression is often silenced in various cancer cells, which suggests that it may have tumor suppressor properties. However, the exact mechanism by which RIPK3 negatively regulates cancer development and progression remains unclear. This report indicates that RIPK3 acts as a potent regulator of the homeostatic proliferation of CD4+ CD8+ double-positive (DP) thymocytes. Abnormal proliferation of RIPK3-deficient DP thymocytes occurs independently of the well-known role for RIPK3 in necroptosis (upstream of MLKL activation), and is associated with an incidental thymic mass, likely thymic hyperplasia. In addition, Ripk3-null mice develop increased thymic tumor formation accompanied by reduced host survival in the context of an N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU)-induced tumor model. Moreover, RIPK3 deficiency in p53-null mice promotes thymic lymphoma development via upregulated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling, which correlates with markedly reduced survival rates. Mechanistically, lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase (LCK) activates RIPK3, which in turn leads to increases in the phosphatase activity of protein phosphatase 2 (PP2A), thereby suppressing hyper-activation of ERK in DP thymocytes. Overall, these findings suggest that a RIPK3-PP2A-ERK signaling axis regulates DP thymocyte homeostasis and may provide a potential therapeutic target to improve thymic lymphoma therapies.

Abstract
BackgroundGlioma is a highly aggressive brain cancer with a poor prognosis. Necroptosis is a form of programmed cell death occurring during tumor development and in immune microenvironments. The prognostic value of necroptosis in glioma is unclear. This study aimed to develop a prognostic glioma model based on necroptosis.MethodsA necroptosis-related risk model was constructed by Cox regression analysis based on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) training set, validated in two Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA) validation sets. We explored the differences in immune infiltration and immune checkpoint genes between low and high risk groups and constructed a nomogram. Moreover, we compiled a third validation cohort including 43 glioma patients. The expression of necroptosis-related genes was verified in matched tissues using immunochemical staining in the third cohort, and we analyzed their relationship to clinicopathological features.ResultsThree necroptosis-related differentially expressed genes (EZH2, LEF1, and CASP1) were selected to construct the prognostic model. Glioma patients with a high risk score in the TCGA and CGGA cohorts had significantly shorter overall survival. The necroptosis-related risk model and nomogram exhibited good predictive performance in the TCGA training set and the CGGA validation sets. Furthermore, patients in the high risk group had higher immune infiltration status and higher expression of immune checkpoint genes, which was positively correlated with poorer outcomes. In the third validation cohort, the expression levels of the three proteins encoded by EZH2, LEF1, and CASP1 in glioma tissues were significantly higher than those from paracancerous tissues. They were also closely associated with disease severity and prognosis.ConclusionsOur necroptosis-related risk model can be used to predict the prognosis of glioma patients and improve prognostic accuracy, which may provide potential therapeutic targets and a theoretical basis for treatment.

Roles of RIPK3 in necroptosis, cell signaling, and disease. Exp Mol Med 2022; 54:1695-1704. [PMID: 36224345 PMCID: PMC9636380 DOI: 10.1038/s12276-022-00868-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 16.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2022] [Revised: 07/14/2022] [Accepted: 08/01/2022] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Receptor-interacting protein kinase-3 (RIPK3, or RIP3) is an essential protein in the "programmed" and "regulated" cell death pathway called necroptosis. Necroptosis is activated by the death receptor ligands and pattern recognition receptors of the innate immune system, and the findings of many reports have suggested that necroptosis is highly significant in health and human disease. This significance is largely because necroptosis is distinguished from other modes of cell death, especially apoptosis, in that it is highly proinflammatory given that cell membrane integrity is lost, triggering the activation of the immune system and inflammation. Here, we discuss the roles of RIPK3 in cell signaling, along with its role in necroptosis and various pathways that trigger RIPK3 activation and cell death. Lastly, we consider pathological situations in which RIPK3/necroptosis may play a role.

Integrated Bioinformatics and Experimental Analysis Identified TRIM28 a Potential Prognostic Biomarker and Correlated with Immune Infiltrates in Liver Hepatocellular Carcinoma. COMPUTATIONAL AND MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN MEDICINE 2022; 2022:6267851. [PMID: 36238495 PMCID: PMC9553339 DOI: 10.1155/2022/6267851] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2022] [Revised: 08/10/2022] [Accepted: 09/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Background Since the 1970s, liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC) has experienced a constant rise in incidence and mortality rates, making the identification of LIHC biomarkers very important. Tripartite Motif-Containing 28 (TRIM28) is a protein-coding gene which encodes the tripartite motif-containing proteins (TRIMs) family and is associated with specific chromatin regions. TRIM28 expression and its prognostic value and impact on the immune system in LIHC patients are being investigated for the first time. Methods The TRIM28 expression data from TCGA database was used to analyze TRIM28 expression, clinicopathological information, gene enrichment, and immune infiltration and conduct additional bioinformatics analysis. R language was used for statistical analysis. TIMER, CIBERSORT, and ssGSEA were used to assess immune responses of TRIM28 in LIHC. Next, the results were validated using GEPIA, ROC analysis, and immunohistochemical staining pictures from the THPA. GSE14520, GSE63898, and GSE87630 datasets were analyzed using ROC analysis to further evaluate TRIM28's diagnostic value. To ultimately determine TRIM28 expression, we performed qRT-PCR (quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction). Results High TRIM28 expression level was associated with T classification, pathologic stage, histologic grade, and serum AFP levels. In patients with LIHC, TRIM28 was an independent risk factor for a poor prognosis. The pathways ligand-receptor interaction, which is critical in LIHC patients, were closely associated with TRIM28 expression, and the function of DC could be suppressed by overexpression of TRIM28. As a final step, our results were validated by GEO data and qRT-PCR. Conclusions TRIM28 will shed new light on LIHC mechanisms. As an effective diagnostic and intervention tool, this gene will be able to diagnose and treat LIHC at an early stage.

[PMID: 36267408 PMCID: PMC9576851 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2022.985191] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2022] [Accepted: 08/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the malignant tumors with high mortality and a worse prognosis globally. Necroptosis is a programmed death mediated by receptor-interacting Protein 1 (RIP1), receptor-interacting Protein 1 (RIP3), and Mixed Lineage Kinase Domain-Like (MLKL). Our study aimed to create a new Necroptosis-related lncRNAs (NRlncRNAs) risk model that can predict survival and tumor immunity in HCC patients. The RNA expression and clinical data originated from the TCGA database. Pearson correlation analysis was applied to identify the NRlncRNAs. The LASSO-Cox regression analysis was employed to build the risk model. Next, the ROC curve and the area under the Kaplan-Meier curve were utilized to evaluate the accuracy of the risk model. In addition, based on the two groups of risk model, we performed the following analysis: clinical correlation, differential expression, PCA, TMB, GSEA analysis, immune cells infiltration, and clinical drug prediction analysis. Plus, qRT-PCR was applied to test the expression of genes in the risk model. Finally, a prognosis model covering six necroptosis-related lncRNAs was constructed to predict the survival of HCC patients. The ROC curve results showed that the risk model possesses better accuracy. The 1, 3, and 5-years AUC values were 0.746, 0.712, and 0.670, respectively. Of course, we also observed that significant differences exist in the following analysis, such as functional signaling pathways, immunological state, mutation profiles, and medication sensitivity between high-risk and low-risk groups of HCC patients. The result of qRT-PCR confirmed that three NRlncRNAs were more highly expressed in HCC cell lines than in the normal cell line. In conclusion, based on the bioinformatics analysis, we constructed an NRlncRNAs associated risk model, which predicts the prognosis of HCC patients. Although our study has some limitations, it may greatly contribute to the treatment of HCC and medical progression.

Abstract
Necroptosis, a programmed form of necrotic cell death, plays critical regulatory roles in the progression and metastatic spread of cancers such as cervical squamous cell carcinoma and endocervical adenocarcinoma (CESC). However, there are few articles systematically analyzing the necroptosis-related long non-coding RNAs (NRlncRNAs) correlated with CESC patients. Both RNA-sequencing and clinical data of CESC patients are downloaded from TCGA database in this study. Pearson correlation analysis, least absolute shrinkage, operator algorithm selection and Cox regression model are employed to screen and create a risk score model of eleven-NRlncRNAs (MIR100HG, LINC00996, SNHG30, LINC02688, HCG15, TUBA3FP, MIAT, DBH-AS1, ERICH6-AS1SCAT1, LINC01702) prognostic. Thereafter, a series of tests are carried out in sequence to evaluate the model for independent prognostic value. Gene set enrichment analytic paper, Gene Ontology analysis, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analytic paper make it clear that immune-related signaling pathways are very rich in the high-risk subgroup. Additionally, the prognostic risk score model is correlated to immune cell infiltration, potential immune checkpoint, immune function, immune micro-environmental and m6A-related gene. Mutation frequency in mutated genes and survival probability trend are higher in the low-risk subgroup in most of test cases when compared to the high-risk subgroup. This study constructs a renewed prognostic model of eleven-NRlncRNAs, which may make some contribution to accurately predicting the prognosis and the immune response from CESC patients, and improve the recognition of CESC patients and optimize customized treatment regimens to some extent.

Feedback loop between fatty acid transport protein 2 and receptor interacting protein 3 pathways promotes polymorphonuclear neutrophil myeloid-derived suppressor cells-potentiated suppressive immunity in bladder cancer. Mol Biol Rep 2022; 49:11643-11652.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cells (PMN-MDSCs) promote tumor immune tolerance and cause tumor immunotherapy failure. In this study, we found that high PMN-MDSCs infiltration, overexpressed fatty acid transporter protein 2 (FATP2) and underexpressed receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) existed in the mouse and human bladder cancer tissues. However, the related mechanisms remain largely unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS Both FATP2 and RIPK3 expressions were associated with clinical stage. FATP2 knockout or up-regulating RIPK3 reduced the synthesis of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in PMN-MDSCs, attenuated the suppressive activity of PMN-MDSCs on CD8+ T cells functions and inhibited the tumor growth. There was a PGE2-mediated feedback loop between FATP2 and RIPK3 pathways, which markedly promoted the immunosuppressive activity of PMN-MDSCs. Combination therapy with inhibition of FATP2 and activation of RIPK3 can effectively inhibit tumor growth. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that a feedback loop between FATP2 and RIPK3 pathways in PMN-MDSCs significantly promoted the synthesis of PGE2, which severely impaired the CD8+ T cell functions. This study may provide new ideas for immunotherapy of human bladder cancer.

Abstract
The tripartite motif (TRIM) protein family is a highly conserved group of E3 ligases with 77 members known in the human, most of which consist of a RING-finger domain, one or two B-box domains, and a coiled-coil domain. Generally, TRIM proteins function as E3 ligases to facilitate specific proteasomal degradation of target proteins. In addition, E3 ligase independent functions of TRIM protein were also reported. In hepatocellular carcinoma, expressions of TRIM proteins are both regulated by genetic and epigenetic mechanisms. TRIM proteins regulate multiple biological activities and signaling cascades. And TRIM proteins influence hallmarks of HCC. This review systematically demonstrates the versatile roles of TRIM proteins in HCC and helps us better understand the molecular mechanism of the development and progression of HCC.

Abstract
Background: Glioma is the most fatal neoplasm among the primary intracranial cancers. Necroptosis, a form of programmed cell death, is correlated with tumor progression and immune response. But, the role of necroptosis-related genes (NRGs) in glioma has not been well-uncovered.Methods: Single-cell and bulk RNA sequencing data, obtained from publicly accessed databases, were used to establish a necroptosis-related gene signature for predicting the prognosis of glioma patients. Multiple bioinformatics algorithms were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of the signature. The relative mRNA level of each signature gene was validated by quantitative real-time reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) in glioma cell lines compared to human astrocytes.Results: In this predicted prognosis model, patients with a high risk score showed a shorter overall survival, which was verified in the testing cohorts. The signature risk score was positively related with immune cell infiltration and some immune check points, such as CD276 (B7-H3), CD152 (CTLA-4), CD223 (LAG-3), and CD274 (PD-L1). Single-cell RNA sequencing analysis confirmed that the glioma microenvironment consists of various immune cells with different markers. The eight NRGs of the signature were detected to be expressed in several immune cells. QRT-PCR results verified that all the eight signature genes were differentially expressed between human astrocytes and glioma cells.Conclusion: The eight NRGs correlate with the immune microenvironment of glioma according to our bioinformatics analysis. This necroptosis-related gene signature may evaluate the precise methodology of predicting prognosis of glioma and provide a novel thought in glioma investigation.
