Surgical resection or stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS)/hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (hypoSRT) are valuable options up to now. Due to its unique location and potential for neurologic deficits, neither treatment is entirely satisfactory. There is still a lack of data on the treatment result of motor cortex metastasis. This study provides a comprehensive review and meta-analysis comparing surgery and SRS/hypoSRT for treating brain metastasis in the motor cortex. Core databases, including PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library, were systematically searched for brain metastasis in the motor cortex, demonstrating the clinical outcomes of both surgery and SRS/hypoSRT. Motor power outcome and treatment-associated complication rates were thoroughly evaluated. Twenty-five articles were listed for full-text review. Among them, 13 articles were eligible for inclusion criteria: retrospective cohort studies comparing surgery and SRS/hypoSRT. There are 323 patients in the surgery group and 220 in the SRS/hypoSRT group. The motor outcome is better in surgery group, but without statistical significance (0.49 vs 0.37, p = 0.3937) and treatment-related complication is lower in surgery group with statistical significance (0.09 vs 0.26, p = 0.0218).

After establishing hematogenous brain metastasis by transplanting murine bladder carcinoma MBT2 cells stably expressing secNLuc reporter via the internal carotid artery of C3H/HeNCrl mice, we observed the formation of metastases not only in the brain parenchyma but also in the ventricles. The observed pathological areas showed that metastases in the ventricle were histologically larger than that in the brain parenchyma. Regarding the total tumor burden in the whole brain as revealed by Nluc activities, the combination of anti-PD-L1 antibody and anti-VEGF antibody showed a stronger anti-tumor effect than each single agent. Anti-PD-L1 antibody alone enhanced CD8⁺ T cell priming in regional lymph nodes, increased the proportion of activated CD8⁺ T cells in whole brain, and increased the density of CD8⁺ cells in the brain parenchyma. Furthermore, anti-VEGF antibody alone decreased microvessel density (MVD) in ventricular metastases, and the combination treatment increased intratumoral CD8⁺ cell density in the brain parenchyma and ventricular metastases.

Cell blebbing, the formation of bulges or protrusions on the cell membrane, is related to mechanical stress, changes in intracellular pressure, chemical signals, or genetic anomalies. These membrane bulges interfere with the force balance of actin filaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments, the basic components of the cytoskeleton (Charras in J Microsc 231:466-478, 2008). In the past, these blebs with circular structures were considered apoptotic markers (Blaser et al. in Dev Cell 11:613-627, 2006). Cell blebbing activates phagocytes and promotes the rapid removal of intrinsic compartments. However, recent studies have revealed that blebbing is associated with dynamic cell reorganization and alters the movement of cells in-vivo and in-vitro (Charras and Paluch in Nat Rev Mol Cell Biol 9:730-736, 2008). During tumor progression, blebbing promotes invasion of cancer cells into blood, and lymphatic vessels, facilitating tumor progression and metastasis (Weems et al. in Nature 615:517-525, 2023). Blebbing is a dominant feature of tumor cells generally absent in normal cells. Restricting tumor blebbing reduces anoikis resistance (survival in suspension) (Weems et al. in Nature 615:517-525, 2023). Hence, therapeutic intervention with targeting blebbing could be highly selective for proliferating pro-metastatic tumor cells, providing a novel therapeutic pathway for tumor metastasis with minimal side effects. Here, we review the association between cell blebbing and tumor cells, to uncover new research directions and strategies for metastatic cancer therapy.

Unfortunately, therapeutic options for metastatic OSCC remain limited. Peptidylarginine deiminases (PADI) are implicated in various tumorigenesis and metastasis processes across multiple cancers. However, the role of PADI2, a type of PADI, in OSCC is not well understood. This study aimed to explore the impact of PADI2 on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), angiogenesis, and OSCC metastasis. The effect of PADI2 on EMT was evaluated using cell lines by Western blot analysis with shRNA targeting PADI2. In addition, the selective PADI2 inhibitor AFM32a was used to assess the effect of PADI2 on cancer metastasis and angiogenesis in animal models. Our findings indicated that PADI2 expression correlated with EMT changes, and PADI2 knockdown reversed these changes, reducing cell proliferation, cell migration, and invasion. PADI2 inhibition also diminished tube formation in HUVECs and decreased secretion of angiogenesis-related chemokines CCL3, CCL5 and CCL20. In a mouse model, AFM32a markedly reduced lung metastasis and production of CCL3 and CCL5. Our in vitro and in vivo studies suggested inhibiting PADI2 could prevent OSCC metastasis by impeding EMT and angiogenesis via AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.

In cancer tissues, a specialized environment called the tumor microenvironment (TME) is established around tumor cells, and inflammation in the TME has been reported to be closely associated with the development and progression of many types of cancer and with the response to anticancer therapy. In this study, to elucidate the mechanism of metastasis establishment, including the TME, in the cervical lymph node metastasis of oral cancer, we established a mouse-derived oral squamous cell carcinoma cervical lymph node highly metastatic cell line and generated a syngeneic orthotopic transplantation mouse model. In the established highly metastatic cells, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) induction was enhanced compared to that in parental cells. In the syngeneic mouse model, lymph node metastasis was observed more frequently in tumors of highly metastatic cells than in parental cells, and Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression and lymphatic vessels in primary tumor tissues were increased, suggesting that this model is highly useful. Moreover, in the established highly metastatic cells, EMT induction was enhanced compared to that in the parent cell line, and CCL5 and IL-6 secreted during inflammation further enhanced EMT induction in cancer cells. This suggests the possibility of a synergistic effect between EMT induction and inflammation.
