LncRNAs in necroptosis: Deciphering their role in cancer pathogenesis and therapy. Pathol Res Pract 2024; 256:155252. [PMID: 38479121 DOI: 10.1016/j.prp.2024.155252] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2024] [Revised: 03/02/2024] [Accepted: 03/04/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024]
Abstract
Necroptosis, a controlled type of cell death that is different from apoptosis, has become a key figure in the aetiology of cancer and offers a possible target for treatment. A growing number of biological activities, including necroptosis, have been linked to long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), a varied family of RNA molecules with limited capacity to code for proteins. The complex interactions between LncRNAs and important molecular effectors of necroptosis, including mixed lineage kinase domain-like pseudokinase (MLKL) and receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3), will be investigated. We will explore the many methods that LncRNAs use to affect necroptosis, including protein-protein interactions, transcriptional control, and post-transcriptional modification. Additionally, the deregulation of certain LncRNAs in different forms of cancer will be discussed, highlighting their dual function in influencing necroptotic processes as tumour suppressors and oncogenes. The goal of this study is to thoroughly examine the complex role that LncRNAs play in controlling necroptotic pathways and how that regulation affects the onset and spread of cancer. In the necroptosis for cancer treatment, this review will also provide insight into the possible therapeutic uses of targeting LncRNAs. Techniques utilising LncRNA-based medicines show promise in controlling necroptotic pathways to prevent cancer from spreading and improve the effectiveness of treatment.

Lee Boniao E, Allen RC, Sundar G. Targeted therapy and immunotherapy for orbital and periorbital tumors: a major review. Orbit 2023:1-18.

Abstract
Traditionally, for patients who are poor candidates for surgery and/or radiotherapy, palliative chemotherapy is often offered but with significant toxic side effects. However, recent advancements in our understanding of tumor biology and molecular genetics have brought new understanding to the molecular pathways of certain tumors and cancers. This has ushered in a new era of precision medicine specific to a tumor or cancer treatment pathway (targeted therapy) or directed to host-tumor responses (immunotherapy). This article will focus on recent updates in the application of available targeted and immunotherapy for managing orbital and periorbital tumors and tumor-like conditions, which include cutaneous basal cell carcinoma, cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, cutaneous melanoma, Merkel cell carcinoma, sebaceous gland carcinoma, solitary fibrous tumor, dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, orbital meningioma, neurofibromatosis, Langerhans cell histiocytosis, ocular adnexal lymphoma, orbital lymphatic malformation, and adenoid cystic carcinoma.

Abstract
Pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL), are rare neuroendocrine tumors arising from the adrenal medulla and extra-adrenal paraganglia, respectively. Up to about 60% are explained by germline or somatic mutations in one of the major known susceptibility genes e.g., inNF1,RET,VHL, SDHx,MAXandHRAS. Targeted Next Generation Sequencing was performed in 14 sporadic tumors using a panel including 26 susceptibility genes to characterize the mutation profile. A total of 6 germline and 8 somatic variants were identified. The most frequent somatic mutations were found in NF1(36%), four have not been reported earlier in PCC or PGL. Gene expression profile analysis showed that NF1 mutated tumors are classified into RTK3 subtype, cluster 2, with a high expression of genes associated with chromaffin cell differentiation, and into a RTK2 subtype, cluster 2, as well with overexpression of genes associated with cortisol biosynthesis. On the other hand, by analyzing the entire probe set on the array and TCGA data, ALDOC was found as the most significantly down regulated gene in NF1-mutated tumors compared to NF1-wild-type. Differential gene expression analysis showed a significant difference between Nt - and Ct-NF1 domains in mutated tumors probably engaging different cellular pathways. Notably, we had a metastatic PCC with a Ct-NF1 frameshift mutation and when performing protein docking analysis, Ct-NF1 showed an interaction with Nt-FAK suggesting their involvement in cell adhesion and cell growth. These results show that depending on the location of the NF1-mutation different pathways are activated in PPGLs. Further studies are required to clarify their clinical significance.

Abstract
Rare diseases constitute a wide range of disorders thus defined for their low prevalence. However, taken together, rare diseases impact a considerable percentage of the world population, thus representing a public healthcare problem. In particular, neurofibromatoses are autosomal-dominant genetic disorders that include type 1 neurofibromatosis (NF1), type 2 neurofibromatosis (NF2) and schwannomatosis. Each of the three types is a genetically distinct disease with an unpredictable clinical course and for which there is still no resolutive cure. Therefore, a personalized therapeutic approach directed at improving the symptomatology as well as the search for new pharmacological strategies for the management of neurofibromatosis represents a priority for positive outcomes for affected patients. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has severely affected health systems around the world, impacting the provision of medical care and modifying clinical surveillance along with scientific research procedures. COVID-19 significantly worsened exchanges between healthcare personnel and neurofibromatosis patients, precluding continuous clinical monitoring in specialized clinic centers. In this new scenario, our article presents, for the first time, a comprehensive literature review on the clinical challenges for neurofibromatosis clinical care and research during the COVID-19 pandemic health emergency. The review was performed through PubMed (Medline) and Google Scholar databases until December 2021.
