    Abstract Background: Immunotherapy has become increasingly important in the perioperative period of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In this study, we intended to develop a mutation-based model to predict the therapeutic effificacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in patients with NSCLC.
    Methods: Random Forest (RF) classifiers were generated to identify tumor gene mutated features associated with immunotherapy outcomes. Then the best classifier with the highest accuracy served for the development of the predictive model. The correlations of some reported biomarkers with the model were analyzed, such as TMB, PD-(L)1, KEAP1-driven co-mutations, and immune subtypes. The training cohort and validation cohorts performed survival analyses to estimate the predictive efficiency independently.
    Results: An 18-gene set was selected using random forest (RF) classififiers. A predictive model was developed based on the number of mutant genes among the candidate genes, and patients were divided into the MT group (mutant gene ≥ 2) and WT group (mutant gene < 2). The MT group (N = 54) had better overall survival (OS) compared to the WT group (N = 290); the median OS was not reached vs. nine months (P < 0.0001, AUC = 0.73). The robust predictive performance was confifirmed in three validation cohorts, with an AUC of 0.70, 0.57, and 0.64 (P < 0.05). The MT group was characterized by high tumor neoantigen burden (TNB), increased immune infifiltration cells such as CD8 T and macrophage cells, and upregulated immune checkpoint molecules, suggesting potential biological advantages in ICIs therapy.
    Conclusions: The predictive model could precisely predict the immunotherapeutic efficacy in NSCLC based on the mutant genes within the model. Furthermore, some immune-related features and cell expression could support robust efficiency.

    Abstract The management of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) presents significant challenges due to cancer cells' intricate and heterogeneous nature. Programmed cell death (PCD) pathways are crucial in diverse biological processes. Nevertheless, the prognostic significance of cell death in NSCLC remains incompletely understood. Our study aims to investigate the prognostic importance of PCD genes and their ability to precisely stratify and evaluate the survival outcomes of patients with advanced NSCLC. We employed Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA), Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO), univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses for prognostic gene screening. Ultimately, we identified seven PCD-related genes to establish the PCD-related risk score for the advanced NSCLC model (PRAN), effectively stratifying overall survival (OS) in patients with advanced NSCLC. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that the PRAN was the independent prognostic factor than clinical baseline factors. It was positively related to specific metabolic pathways, including hexosamine biosynthesis pathways, which play crucial roles in reprogramming cancer cell metabolism. Furthermore, drug prediction for different PRAN risk groups identified several sensitive drugs explicitly targeting the cell death pathway. Molecular docking analysis suggested the potential therapeutic efficacy of navitoclax in NSCLC, as it demonstrated strong binding with the amino acid residues of C-C motif chemokine ligand 14 (CCL14), carboxypeptidase A3 (CPA3), and C-X3-C motif chemokine receptor 1 (CX3CR1) proteins. The PRAN provides a robust personalized treatment and survival assessment tool in advanced NSCLC patients. Furthermore, identifying sensitive drugs for distinct PRAN risk groups holds promise for advancing targeted therapies in NSCLC.

    Abstract Most advanced colorectal cancer patients with proficient DNA mismatch repair or microsatellite stability (MSS) are insensitive to immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy. This report describes a heavily pretreated refractory colon adenocarcinoma patient with MSS. After experiencing four lines of treatment, the patient received the fifth-line therapy with the combined sintilimab, bevacizumab and chemotherapy. She achieved a long-term clinical outcome. The patient's progression-free survival after the fifth-line therapy was approximately 9.3 months, and her overall survival was approximately 57 months. To the best of our knowledge, this case represents the first report of durable clinical benefit from combination of an immune checkpoint inhibitor, bevacizumab and chemotherapy in a heavily pretreated patient with refractory metastatic colon adenocarcinoma with MSS.

    Abstract The amount of erythrocyte-derived microRNAs (miRNAs) represents the majority of miRNAs expressed in whole blood. miR-451, miR-144, and miR-486, which are abundant in red blood cells (RBCs), are involved in the process of erythropoiesis and disease occurrence. Moreover, erythrocyte-derived miRNAs have been reported to be potential biomarkers of specific diseases. However, the function and underlying mechanisms of miRNAs derived from erythrocytes remain unclear. Based on a review of previously published literature, we discuss several possible pathways by which RBC miRNAs may function and propose that RBCs may serve as repositories of miRNAs in the circulatory system and participate in the regulation of gene expression mainly via the transfer of miRNAs from erythrocyte extracellular vesicles (EVs). In the whole blood, there are still other important cell types such as leukocytes and platelets harboring functional miRNAs, and hemolysis also exists, which limit the abundance of miRNAs as disease biomarkers, and thus, miRNA studies on RBCs may be impacted. In the future, the role of RBCs in the regulation of normal physiological functions of the body and the entire circulatory system under pathological states, if any, remains to be determined.

    Abstract Gastrointestinal cancers (GICs) are high-incidence malignant tumors that seriously threaten human health around the world. Their complexity and heterogeneity make the classic staging system insufficient to guide patient management. Recently, competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) interactions that closely link the function of protein-coding RNAs with that of non-coding RNAs, such as long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) and circular RNA (circRNA), has emerged as a novel molecular mechanism influencing miRNA-mediated gene regulation. Especially, ceRNA networks have proven to be powerful tools for deciphering cancer mechanisms and predicting therapeutic responses at the system level. Moreover, abnormal gene expression is one of the critical breaking events that disturb the stability of ceRNA network, highlighting the role of molecular biomarkers in optimizing cancer management and treatment. Therefore, developing prognostic signatures based on cancer-specific ceRNA network is of great significance for predicting clinical outcome or chemotherapy benefits of GIC patients. We herein introduce the current frontiers of ceRNA crosstalk in relation to their pathological implications and translational potentials in GICs, review the current researches on the prognostic signatures based on lncRNA or circRNA-mediated ceRNA networks in GICs, and highlight the translational implications of ceRNA signatures for GICs management. Furthermore, we summarize the computational approaches for establishing ceRNA network-based prognostic signatures, providing important clues for deciphering GIC biomarkers.

    Abstract Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare and deadly malignancy with an extremely poor prognosis. The median overall survival (OS) of this disease is 12-18 months. However, the oncogenic driver mutations of MPM are rarely understood, and the targeted therapy for it is still under investigation. In this report, we describe a case of MPM with CD74-ROS1 fusion who obtains complete and durable response after receiving crizotinib. By the time of submission, the progression-free survival (PFS) with crizotinib has been 6.0 years, and the patient has survived for 7.6 years. Currently, he is still in complete remission (CR). To the best of our knowledge, this case represents the first report of CD74-ROS1 fusion identified in MPM. Meanwhile, it is also the first report of complete and long-term response to crizotinib in a patient with MPM positive for CD74-ROS1 fusion. This case report might contribute to the tumorigenesis and targeted therapy of this deadly disease.
