    Abstract Microglia/macrophages make up the largest population of tumor-infiltrating cells. Numerous studies have demonstrated that glioma-associated microglia/macrophages (GAMs) could promote the malignant progression of gliomas in various pathways. However, the primary function of GAMs in glioma remains inconclusive. First, by the CIBERSORT algorithm, we evaluated the content of microglia/macrophages in glioma tissues by bioinformatic analysis of omic data from thousands of glioma samples. Subsequently, we analyzed and confirmed the significant relationship between GAMs and the malignant phenotype of glioma, including survival time, IDH mutation status, and time of symptom onset. Afterward, Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) was identified by Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) from numerous biological processes as the most relevant mechanism of malignant progression to GAMs. Moreover, a series of clinical samples were detected, including normal brain and various-grade glioma tissues. The results not only showed that GAMs were significantly associated with gliomas and their malignancy but also that GAMs were highly correlated with the degree of EMT in gliomas. In addition, we isolated GAMs from glioma samples and constructed co-culture models (

    Abstract Background: Over the last few years, great progress has been made in the development of key technologies to detect peripheral blood-based, tumor-specific biomarkers, such as circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and circulating cell free tumor DNA (ctDNA). Despite the considerable advances and their multiple clinical values, liquid biopsies are challenged by the very low concentrations of CTCs and ctDNA in blood samples. Additionally, blood biomarkers which were found using data-driven methods may only be effective in few datasets.
    Methods: We firstly collected the genes which have expression correlations between blood and the other tissues/organs using Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx). Survival hazard genes and differential expression genes of each cancer type in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) were then selected by Cox regression model and Wilcoxon rank sum test, respectively. By combining the P values of two steps, several blood biomarkers can be inferred for each cancer type. After applying these potential blood biomarker sets to 13 datasets of blood samples from solid tumor patients using single sample gene set enrichment analyses (ssGSEA), we got an enrichment score (ES) for each sample.
    Results: The inferred blood biomarker (BB infer) genes showed reliable predictive value in various malignancies. In all the blood samples that were analyzed, the ESs of positive BB Infer genes in cancer patients are higher than healthy people. Conversely, the ESs of negative BB Infer genes in cancer patients are lower than healthy people. Furthermore, lower ES of negative BB infer genes signify the dismal outcome of patients.
    Conclusions: We developed a novel solid tumor blood biomarker inference workflow for cancer screening and diagnosis. Moreover, we demonstrated the utility of this inference method in a series of blood sample datasets of solid tumor patients. These results suggested the potential value of this method in the screening, diagnosis and prognosis of cancers.

    Abstract Neuronal morphology is essential for studying brain functioning and understanding neurodegenerative disorders. As the acquiring of real-world morphology data is expensive, computational approaches especially learning-based ones e.g. MorphVAE for morphology generation were recently studied, which are often conducted in a way of randomly augmenting a given authentic morphology to achieve plausibility. Under such a setting, this paper proposes \textbf{MorphGrower} which aims to generate more plausible morphology samples by mimicking the natural growth mechanism instead of a one-shot treatment as done in MorphVAE. Specifically, MorphGrower generates morphologies layer by layer synchronously and chooses a pair of sibling branches as the basic generation block, and the generation of each layer is conditioned on the morphological structure of previous layers and then generate morphologies via a conditional variational autoencoder with spherical latent space. Extensive experimental results on four real-world datasets demonstrate that MorphGrower outperforms MorphVAE by a notable margin. Our code will be publicly available to facilitate future research.

    Abstract Aims: Gliomas are the most common central nervous system malignancies, with limited therapeutic options and poor prognosis, which are primarily attributed to the "immune desert" microenvironment. Previously, we constructed a three-gene-deleted oncolytic adenovirus (Ad-TD) loaded with non-secreting interleukin-12 (nsIL-12), which could be amplified in tumor cells and induce immunity to suppress tumors. However, the effects of this oncolytic virus on gliomas and their immune microenvironment remain unclear. There is an urgent need for further research.
    Materials and methods: We constructed a Syrian hamster brain tumor model and demonstrated the efficacy and mechanism of the novel oncolytic virus in treating brain tumors through a series of in vitro and in vivo experiments. We investigated the efficacy and safety (the number of hamsters in each group is either 5 or 10) of the oncolytic virus treatment in Syrian hamsters using a virus-treated group, a control virus-treated group, and a blank control group.
    Key findings: In vitro assays showed that Ad-TD-nsIL-12 could specifically proliferate in brain tumor cells which induce tumor cell apoptosis and intracellular expression of interleukin (IL)-12. Moreover, in vivo experiments demonstrated that Ad-TD-nsIL-12 could effectively inhibit the progression of brain tumors and prolong survival. Ad-TD-nsIL-12 significantly enhanced T-cell infiltration in the brain tumor microenvironment.
    Significance: Ad-TD-nsIL-12 can inhibit glioma progression and increase T-cell infiltration in the tumor tissue, particularly infiltration by cytotoxic T cells (CD8+). Ad-TD-nsIL-12 can amplify and produce IL-12, inducing anti-glioma immune responses to inhibit tumor progression.

    Abstract Classical monocytes are commonly involved in the innate inflammatory response and are the progenitors of osteoclasts. Excess endogenous glucocorticoids (GCs) can increase the levels of classical monocytes in blood and bone marrow. The role of this cell population in high-dose exogenous GC-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) remains to be elucidated. In this study, GIOP was established in rats and mice by daily methylprednisolone injection, and monocyte subsets were analyzed by flow cytometry. We demonstrated that classical monocytes accumulate in bone marrow during GIOP. Similarly, the monocyte proportion among bone marrow nucleated cells was also increased in patients with steroid treatment history. We sorted classical monocytes and analyzed their transcriptional profile in response to GCs by RNA sequencing. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis showed that classical monocytes isolated from GC-treated rats exhibited osteoclast differentiation potential. Deletion of classical monocytes by clodronate liposome treatment prevented GIOP via inhibition of osteoclastogenesis and restoration of CD31

    Abstract Antibody-based immunotherapy has become a standard treatment for a variety of cancers. Many well-developed antibodies disrupt signaling of various growth factor receptors for the treatment of a number of cancers by targeting surface antigens expressed on tumor cells. In recent years, a new family of antibodies is currently emerging in the clinic, which target immune cells rather than cancer cells. These immune-targeted therapies strive to augment antitumor immune responses by antagonizing immunosuppressive pathways or providing exogenous immune-activating stimuli, which have achieved dramatic results in several cancers. The future of cancer therapies is likely to combine these approaches with other treatments, including conventional therapies, to generate more effective treatments.

    Abstract Diffuse glioma is the deadliest form of brain cancer, and the median survival of grade IV glioma (glioblastoma, GBM) is no more than 2 years even with maximal surgical resection followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy, which are now the standard of care for GBM. Glioma shares common characteristics with most malignant tumours, such as invasiveness, rapid progression, resistance to various therapies and inevitable recurrence, while it also has its own unique features, such as high aggressiveness and immunotherapy resistance, which can be, respectively, attributed to epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and the immunosuppressive microenvironment. Here, we calculated the EMT score of glioma using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA) and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets and validated its prognostic value. Then, we investigated its role in the glioma immune microenvironment, identified the enriched EMT-related immune genes and determined their specific biological functions in glioma. Furthermore, clinical relevance analysis showed the translational value of these EMT-related immune genes. In short, our findings reveal a critical link between EMT and the glioma immune microenvironment and offer important clues for further investigation of the underlying molecular mechanism.
