    Abstract Anti-cancer response of cell lines to drugs is in urgent need for individualized precision medical decision-making in the era of precision medicine. Measurements with wet-experiments is time-consuming and expensive and it is almost impossible for wide ranges of application. The design of computational models that can precisely predict the responses between drugs and cell lines could provide a credible reference for further research. Existing methods of response prediction based on matrix factorization or neural networks have revealed that both linear or nonlinear latent characteristics are applicable and effective for the precise prediction of drug responses. However, the majority of them consider only linear or nonlinear relationships for drug response prediction. Herein, we propose a Dual Branch Deep Neural Matrix Factorization (DBDNMF) method to address the above-mentioned issues. DBDNMF learns the latent representation of drugs and cell lines through flexible inputs and reconstructs the partially observed matrix through a series of hidden neural network layers. Experimental results on the datasets of Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE) and Genomics of Drug Sensitivity in Cancer (GDSC) show that the accuracy of drug prediction exceeds state-of-the-art drug response prediction algorithms, demonstrating its reliability and stability. The hierarchical clustering results show that drugs with similar response levels tend to target similar signaling pathway, and cell lines coming from the same tissue subtype tend to share the same pattern of response, which are consistent with previously published studies.

    Abstract Purpose: Early metastasis, in which immune escape plays a crucial role, is the leading cause of death in patients with uveal melanoma (UM); however, the molecular mechanism underlying UM immune escape remains unclear, which greatly limits the clinical application of immunotherapy for metastatic UM.
    Methods: Transcriptome profiles were revealed by RNA-seq analysis. TALL-104 and NK-92MI-mediated cell killing assays were used to examine the immune resistance of UM cells. The glycolysis rate was measured by extracellular acidification analysis. Protein stability was evaluated by CHX-chase assay. Immunofluorescence histochemistry was performed to detect protein levels in clinical UM specimens.
    Results: Continuous exposure to IL-6 induced the expression of both PD-L1 and HLA-E in UM cells, which promoted UM immune escape. Transcriptome analysis revealed that the expression of most metabolic enzymes in the glycolysis pathway, especially the rate-limiting enzymes, PFKP and PKM, was upregulated, whereas enzymes involved in the acetyl-CoA synthesis pathway were downregulated after exposure to IL-6. Blocking the glycolytic pathway and lactate production by knocking down PKM and LDHA decreased PD-L1 and HLA-E protein, but not mRNA, levels in UM cells treated with IL-6. Notably, lactate secreted by IL-6-treated UM cells was crucial in influencing PD-L1 and HLA-E stability via the GPR81-cAMP-PKA signaling pathway.
    Conclusions: Our data reveal a novel mechanism by which UM cells acquire an immune-escape phenotype by metabolic reprogramming and reinforce the importance of the link between inflammation and immune escape.

    Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignant cancers. The tumor microenvironment (TME) plays an important role in tumor progression and affects the prognosis of CRC patients. However, the TME has been poorly characterized and studies aiming to identify the biomarkers or combined risk scores of CRC patients are limited. Here, we overlapped differentially expressed genes and stromal/immune-score-related modules to identify immune- and stromal-related genes in CRC patients. These genes were fed into the LASSO-Cox regression analysis for dimensionality reduction to establish a TME-associated risk model. A high TME-associated risk score was identified as an unfavorable prognostic factor in The Cancer Genome Atlas and Gene Expression Omnibus datasets, as well as in a subgroup analysis, stratified by gender, age, microsatellite instability, and tumor lymph node metastasis stage. Ten genes were mutated more frequently in the high TME-associated risk score group; these mutations may be related to changes in the TME and the response to immunotherapy. Thus, a lower TME-associated risk score may indicate a better response to immunotherapy and longer overall survival. Experimental validation demonstrated that

    Abstract The tumor microenvironment (TME) is characterized by discrete changes in metabolic features of cancer and immune cells, with various implications. Cancer cells take up most of the available glucose to support their growth, thereby leaving immune cells with insufficient nutrients to expand. In the relative absence of glucose, T cells switch the metabolic program to lipid-based sources, which is pivotal to T-cell differentiation and activation in nutrient-stressed TME. Although consumption of lipids should provide an alternative energy source to starving T cells, a literature survey has revealed that it may not necessarily lead to antitumor responses. Different subtypes of T cells behave differently in various lipid overload states, which widely depends upon the kind of free fatty acids (FFA) engulfed. Key lipid metabolic genes provide cytotoxic T cells with necessary nutrients for proliferation in the absence of glucose, thereby favoring antitumor immunity, but the same genes cause immune evasion in T

    Abstract Histone deacetylase 5 (HDAC5) is a class II HDAC. Aberrant expression of HDAC5 has been observed in multiple cancer types, and its functions in cell proliferation and invasion, the immune response, and maintenance of stemness have been widely studied. HDAC5 is considered as a reliable therapeutic target for anticancer drugs. In light of recent findings regarding the role of epigenetic reprogramming in tumorigenesis, in this review, we provide an overview of the expression, biological functions, regulatory mechanisms, and clinical significance of HDAC5 in cancer.

    Abstract E2F transcription factor 1 (E2F1) is a member of the E2F family of transcription factors. E2F1 binds to DNA with dimerization partner (DP) proteins through an E2 recognition site. The dissociation of E2F1 from retinoblastoma (Rb) protein recovers its transcriptional activity, which drives the cell cycle from the G1 to S phase. E2F1 has been shown to be involved in cellular proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis in colon cancer. It was recently found that E2F1 also participates in the metastasis and chemoresistance of colon cancer. There are abundant experimental data regarding the actions of E2F1, which can be grouped as either pro-tumorigenic or pro-apoptotic. Despite a growing interest and plentiful data, there is currently no review that focuses on the role of E2F1 in colon cancer. Research on E2F1 and colon cancer has been scattered over various genes and microRNAs (miRNAs) that affect E2F1 expression. Here, we provide the first review that aims to consider and dissect all of the elucidated complex behaviors of E2F1 in colon cancer. This review also provides an analysis and conclusion regarding the current understanding of E2F1 in colon cancer in order to facilitate the direction of future research.

    Abstract We report a vitreous amyloidosis patient with white vitreous opacities (footplates) adhering to the posterior lens capsule. A positive Congo-red stain and transthyretin (TTR) Lys55Asn mutation confirmed the diagnosis of vitreous amyloidosis. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) revealed fern-like material adhering to the the posterior pole retinal surface in both eyes. Visual acuity significantly improved after the first vitrectomy, but vitreous opacities recurred 4 years later. The patient appeared to have aggravated sensorimotor neuropathy and severe autonomic dysfunction at the same time. He developed intraoperative suprachoroidal hemorrhage during the second vitrectomy.

    Abstract Purpose: To investigate the aqueous levels of angiogenic factors in nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) and to ascertain their association with optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) metrics.
    Methods: This study enrolled 21 NPDR eyes with DME (NPDR/DME+), 17 NPDR eyes without DME (NPDR/DME-), and 16 diabetic eyes without retinopathy (DWR). Luminex bead-based multiplex array was used to measure the levels of 25 cytokines. OCTA system with a scan area of 3 × 3 mm was used to measure retinal thickness (RT), retinal volume (RV), superficial vessel density (SVD), deep vessel density (DVD), foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area, perimeter and acircularity index.
    Results: The levels of ANGPTL4 were significantly different among the three groups (
    Conclusions: The level of ANGPTL4 in aqueous humor of NPDR patients with DME was significantly increased and ANGPTL4 might predict RT, RV, and parafoveal DVD of DME in NPDR patients.
