Oncotarget: Exosomal lncRNA PCAT-1 promotes Kras-associated chemoresistance

 Oncotarget Volume 11, Issue 29 reported that Immunosuppressive chemoresistance is a major burden in lung cancer.

Recent data reveal that long noncoding RNAs present in the lung tumor microenvironment are implicated in chemoresistant-related immune deregulation, and metastasis but their exact pathogenic role is still unknown.

In this study, the Oncotarget authors investigate the role of lncRNA PCAT-1 in chemoresistant immunosuppression and its involvement in tumor stroma remodeling. Findings reveal PCAT-1 to regulate Kras-related lung chemoresistance through increased expression of the immunosuppressive micrornas miR-182/miR217 in lung tissues, thus promoting a pre-metastatic niche formation and a subsequent increase in lung metastatic burden.

Subsequent PCAT-1 knockdown impaired CAF-mediated stromal activation, and reversed chemoresistance and tumor growth in vivo.

Overall, these findings demonstrate the versatile roles of PCAT-1 in sustaining lung immunosuppressive neoplasia through tumor microenvironment remodeling and provide new opportunities for effective metastasis inhibition, especially in chemoresistant tumors.

When public mention modern medicine, precision plays one of the most important roles and people’s lives are directly dependent on it. Likewise, any researches pertaining to medicine are required to comply with the highest standards. The challenge today is that any conclusions of researches can be posted online and used as a reference without being thoroughly verified and approved. Mikhail (Misha) Blagosklonny of Oncotarget perfectly understood this challenge and attempted to create an alternative solution. That’s how a weekly oncology-focused research journal called “Oncotarget” has been established back in 2010. The main principle of this journal is based on Altmetric scores that are used as a quality indicator. That helps both readers and authors to verify publications with Altmetric Article Reports that provide “real-time feedback containing data summary related to a particular publication". Oncotarget website provides a full publications list with respective scores higher ...

Novel MicroRNA Identified as Prostate Cancer Biomarker

Researchers based out of the United States identified a new microRNA as a key regulator of stemness and metastasis in prostate cancer cells. Microscopic view of a single mRNA strand. 3D Medical illustration Microscopic view of a single mRNA strand. 3D Medical illustration Listen to an audio version of this article In the United States, the second leading cause of cancer related deaths in men is prostate cancer. While new research and therapies are advancing, a large percentage of patients with this disease continue to progress to the advanced stages. usa hospitals lists For years, researchers have used biological indicators such as the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) to aid in early detection and diagnosis of prostate cancer. This enzyme is derived from prostate tissue, which is released by normal and tumor cells, and plays a role in semen liquefaction. While serum PSA quantities often correlate with prostate volume, the researchers in this study say that the PSA is not the most opt...
