Although precision oncology offers tailored therapies based on genetic profiles, the clinical translation of genomic insights has been slow. Drug repurposing, using existing FDA-approved drugs for new indications, presents a cost-effective and time-efficient alternative. This study investigates <i>MGAM</i> as a potential direct target of alpha-glucosidase inhibitors in colorectal cancer (CRC), explores its biomarker potential, and evaluates gene expression patterns across diverse cancers. Using RNA-Seq data from Recount3, Firebrowse, and gene set co-expression analysis databases, we analyzed the differential expression of <i>MGAM</i> and its paralog <i>MGAM2</i> across 33 cancer types. We examined mutation profiles, methylation status, survival impact, immune cell infiltration, and drug-mRNA interactions. Validation was performed via real-time PCR and whole-exome sequencing (WES) in CRC patients. <i>MGAM</i> and <i>MGAM2</i> showed differential expression across multiple cancers, with <i>MGAM2</i> upregulated and <i>MGAM</i> downregulated in gastrointestinal tumors. Both genes were linked to key cancer-related pathways, including metabolism, apoptosis, cell cycle regulation, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. <i>MGAM</i> exhibited frequent mutations and aberrant methylation in several cancers. Their expression correlated with immune cell infiltration and drug sensitivity, highlighting potential for therapy planning. Diagnostic modeling showed over 80% accuracy. In CRC patients, <i>MGAM</i> downregulation was confirmed in 64 samples, and WES revealed a novel <i>MGAM</i> mutation (rs2960746). These findings underscore <i>MGAM</i> and <i>MGAM2</i> as promising biomarkers and therapeutic targets, supporting their relevance in advancing personalized oncology.</p>","PeriodicalId":15226,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cell Communication and Signaling","volume":"19 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ccs3.70042","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144905459","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Indeed, they can transport some oncoproteins such as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and modify phenotype of endothelial cells (ECs).

Moreover, this work emphasizes the effect of cetuximab on the shedding and content of MVs by HNSCC cells as well as their interaction with ECs. Consequently, MVs can be used as surrogate markers for predicting the efficacy of anti-EGFR therapies.

Key examples of oncogenic circRNAs are circNFIX (glioma) and circ-ASH2L (pancreatic cancer), which drive tumor progression by sponging miR-34a-5p, elevating NOTCH 1 expression, and activating downstream effectors. We also discuss tissue-specific duality of circRNAs. In fact, Notch signaling exhibits context-dependent roles, with circFBXW7 suppressing NOTCH 1 in T-ALL (tumor suppressor) versus circ-NSD2 activating JAG1/NOTCH 1 in colorectal cancer (oncogene). While circRNAs like hsa_circ_0001741 show prognostic promise, challenges persist in delivery and target specificity due to miRNA pleiotropy.

In this study, we hypothesize that activated Notch intracellular domain (NICD) fragments differentially localize into unique nuclear condensates. Using both overexpression and endogenous systems, our results reveal that N1ICD, N2ICD, and N4ICD efficiently localize into subnuclear bodies, whereas N3ICD inefficiently localizes into similar subnuclear puncta. These “notchosomes” appear to be unique because they do not colocalize with markers for other known nuclear puncta. In contrast, we find that N1ICD does colocalize with other known Notch-interacting proteins, including MAML-1, RBPj, AES1, and SKIP1, but not NACK1. Through deletion analysis of the N1ICD C-terminal tail, we identify multiple regions of mouse N1ICD that are necessary for localization into notchosomes, including sequences immediately C-terminal to the ankyrin domain and sequences within the transactivation domain. We also show that N1ICD localization into notchosomes may be important for N1ICD transcriptional activity from some, but not all, Notch-responsive promoters.

Oncogenic drivers such as KRAS, c-Myc, and HIF-1α increase how much glutamine gets taken up and broken down. Meanwhile, the bacteria in the gut and tumor itself also affect how much glutamine is available throughout the body and near the tumor. This impacts both how the tumor grows and how the immune system can detect and respond to it. Multiple strategies have emerged to disrupt this dependence: glutamine antagonists (DON and its prodrugs DRP-104, JHU-083), small-molecule glutaminase inhibitors (CB-839), antibody–drug conjugates targeting the ASCT2 transporter, and combination regimens pairing glutamine blockade with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Nanoparticle formulations—including pH-sensitive and PEGylated liposomes co-delivering DON and gemcitabine—enable targeted delivery and reduce off-target toxicity. Single-agent treatments do not work so well because the cells can adapt. They boost enzymes such as asparagine synthetase and increase how they burn fatty acids to make up for the lack of glutamine. To overcome these escape routes, future interventions must concurrently target compensatory pathways and integrate biomarker-driven patient selection. Combining glutamine-targeted agents with inhibitors of asparagine synthesis or lipid oxidation, guided by multi-omics profiling, promises a more durable therapeutic benefit and lays the groundwork for personalized treatment of PDAC.</p>","PeriodicalId":15226,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cell Communication and Signaling","volume":"19 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ccs3.70033","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144589549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
