    Abstract The phenotype of tumor-associated macrophages may be critical for tumor immunity, angiogenesis, and clinical disease outcome. Here, we elucidated the prognostic significance of the neovasculature and macrophages in colorectal cancer. We analyzed the effect of M2 macrophage density on the clinical behavior of 151 primary colorectal carcinomas using CD206 as a marker for type 2 macrophages. Triple immunohistochemical staining (ERG, SMA, and podoplanin) was used for microvessel evaluation. We found that M2 macrophages in colorectal cancer did not have a direct association with metastatic behavior. However, high numbers of CD206 tumor-associated macrophages correlated positively with recurrence-free interval duration (P=0.005). Fewer macrophages in the tumor microenvironment resulted in insufficient coverage of newly formed vessels by pericytes (P=0.011), and a high number of pericyte-impaired microvessels correlated with metastatic behavior (P<0.001). These results suggested that type 2 macrophages had a role in limiting the metastatic process by affecting vascular maturity and normalization. These findings contribute to understanding complex interactions in the tumor microenvironment and the clinical behavior of colorectal cancer.

    Abstract Heterogeneity of gastric cancer (GC) is the main trigger of the disease's relapse. The aim of this study was to investigate the connections between targeted genes, cancer clinical features, and the effectiveness of FLOT chemotherapy. Twenty-one patients with gastric cancers (GCs) were included in this study. Tumor-targeted sequencing was conducted, and real-time PCR was used to assess the expression of molecular markers in tumors. Seven patients with stabilization had mutations that were related to their response to therapy and were relevant to the tumor phenotype. Two patients had two mutations. The number of patients with TP53 mutations increased in HER2-positive tumor status. PD-L1-positive cancers had mutations in

    Abstract Macrophages, natural killers and T cells play the central role in tumor cells destruction. The purpose of this review is to summarize the state-of-the-art perspectives of the interplay between tumor cells and tumor stroma leading both to the formation of a macrophage population incapable of effective antitumor activity and to the selection of tumor cells resistant to macrophage cytotoxicity. Macrophages are highly versatile cells that can both stimulate the inflammatory response (type 1 macrophages, M1) and suppress it (type 2 macrophages, M2). Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are considered the main regulator of the antitumor immune response and usually have anti-inflammatory properties, that is, they belong to M2 type. Tumor cells are able to affect macrophages, "reprogramming" them to perform an immunosuppressive function. In addition, TAMs stimulate angiogenesis and remodelling of the extracellular matrix necessary for metastasis. Recently, more and more studies have been published describing a mixed TAMs phenotype with characteristics of both M2 and M1. M1 is characterized by production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, reactive oxygen species, bactericidal and cytotoxic activity. M1 can destroy tumor cells both directly and indirectly by attracting other cells. Despite the mechanisms of direct cytotoxic activity are quite variable, their effectiveness is largely dependent on the properties of a particular tumor. The cytotoxic activity of macrophages is a powerful factor that inhibits tumor initiation and progression. However, in some cases, it is not sufficient to control the tumor process. Activation of the cytotoxic activity of TAMs is one of the strategies to use macrophages for cancer treatment. Understanding the mechanisms of macrophage cytotoxic activity and specific patterns of its manifestation in a tumor environment is of critical importance for better effectiveness of existing cancer treatments and development of promising methods for tumor immunotherapy.

    Abstract Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. In recent years, the incidence of lung cancer subtype lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) has steadily increased. Mitochondria, as a pivotal site of cell bioenergetics, metabolism, cell signaling, and cell death, are often dysregulated in lung cancer cells. Mitochondria maintenance and integrity depend on mitochondrial quality control proteins (MQCPs). During lung cancer progression, the levels of MQCPs could change and promote cancer cell adaptation to the microenvironment and stresses. Here, univariate and multivariate proportional Cox regression analyses were applied to develop a signature based on the level of MQCPs (dimeric form of BNIP3, DRP1, and SIRT3) in tumorous and non-tumorous samples of 80 patients with LUAD. The MQCP signature could be used to separate the patients with LUAD into high- and low-risk groups. Survival analysis indicated that patients in the high-risk group had dramatically shorter overall survival compared with the low-risk patients. Moreover, a nomogram combining clinicopathologic features and the MQCP signature was constructed and validated to predict 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival of the patients. Thus, this study presents a novel signature based on MQCPs as a reliable prognostic tool to predict overall survival for patients with LUAD.

    Abstract Cancer is a leading cause of mortality globally. Despite remarkable improvements in cancer-treatment approaches, disease recurrence and progression remain major obstacles to therapy. While chemotherapy is still a first-line treatment for a variety of cancers, the focus has shifted to the development and application of new approaches to therapy. Nevertheless, the relationship between immune response, neoplastic diseases and treatment efficiency is not fully understood. Therefore, the aim of the study was to investigate the immunopharmacological effects of methacrylic acid homopolymer in an in vivo tumor model.
    Materials and methods: Monomeric methacrylic acid was used to synthesize polymers. Methacrylic acid was polymerized in dioxane in the presence of 4-Cyano-4-[(dodecylsulfanylthiocarbonyl)sulfanyl]pentanoic acid. To study the molecular weight characteristics of PMAA by GPC, carboxyl groups were preliminarily methylated with diazomethane. An experimental cancer model was obtained by grafting RMK1 breast cancer cells. The serum levels of IL-6, IL-10, IL-17, transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1), and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) were measured by ELISA.
    Results: The effect of PMAA on the serum concentrations of several cytokines was studied upon its single administration to laboratory animals in early neoplastic process. The IL-6, IL-17 and TGF-β1 concentrations were found to change significantly and reach the level observed in intact rats. The IL-10 concentration tended to normalize.
    Conclusion: The positive results obtained are the basis for further studies on the effect of methacrylic-acid polymers with different molecular-weight characteristics on the neoplastic process.

    Abstract Phlorotannins are secondary metabolites produced mainly by brown seaweeds (Phaeophyceae) and belong to the class of polyphenolic compounds with diverse bioactivities. The key factors in the extraction of polyphenols are the selection of a suitable solvent, method of extraction and selection of optimal conditions. Ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) is one of the advanced energy-saving methods suitable for the extraction of labile compounds. Methanol, acetone, ethanol and ethyl acetate are the most commonly used solvents for polyphenol extraction. As alternatives to toxic organic solvents, a new class of green solvents, natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES), has been proposed for the efficient extraction of a wide range of natural compounds including polyphenols. Several NADES were screened previously for the extraction of phlorotannins; however, the extraction conditions were not optimized and chemical profiling of NADES extract was not performed. The purpose of this work was to study the effect of selected extraction parameters on the phlorotannin content in NADES extract from

    Abstract New imidazolidine-2,4,5-triones with norabietic, nordehydroabietic, and adamantane substituents were synthesized by reacting oxalyl chloride and the corresponding ureas, providing good yields. Bioisosteric replacement of the ureide group with a parabanic acid fragment made it possible to increase the solubility of compounds and conduct biological studies. The compounds inhibit the DNA repair enzyme tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1 in submicromolar concentrations. Cytotoxic concentrations were also studied on the glioblastoma cell line SNB19.
