A comprehensive understanding of the molecular mechanisms that drive TC progression is crucial for the development of effective treatment strategies, especially considering the increasingly recognized role of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in oncogenesis. Notwithstanding recent advancements, the regulatory functions of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and their interactions with microRNAs (miRNAs) in the context of TC are not yet fully elucidated. This review aims to address this knowledge deficiency by investigating the dual roles of lncRNAs in the pathogenesis of TC, specifically their regulation of programmed cell death (PCD) pathways. Current literature indicates that disrupted competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks are involved in drug resistance, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), as well as tumor proliferation, angiogenesis, invasion, and metastasis in TC. The basis of cancer therapy-induced tumor cell elimination is programmed cell death (PCD), which includes well-studied processes such as apoptosis, autophagy, and ferroptosis as well as novel pathways, such as cuproptosis, immunogenic cell death (ICD), and PANoptosis. Recent research has shown the critical function of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in modifying these several PCD pathways, impacting TC growth and therapy response. This review synthesizes evidence on how lncRNAs regulate PCD to influence TC progression and therapeutic outcomes. Additionally, we examine the clinical relevance of lncRNAs in TC, highlighting their potential as biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis, therapeutic targets, and contributors to drug resistance, while emphasizing recent advancements in this field.</p>","PeriodicalId":18433,"journal":{"name":"Medical Oncology","volume":"42 6","pages":"217"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144128057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

CSC-derived exosomal TGF-β is a key driver of CAF and M2 macrophage polarization, with the latter mediated through activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3). β-catenin activity also seems to take important role in exosomal cross-talk between CAFs and stemness state of cancer.

Cancer imposes substantial economic and mental challenges on patients and their families and strains healthcare systems. Depression, one of the most prevalent mental health conditions, affects approximately 3.8% of the global population and is a significant global health challenge. Research indicates increasing incidence rates of depression among patients with cancer. Depression also appears to influence cancer development and progression, worsening patient prognosis and quality of life, thereby creating additional challenges for clinical treatment. Correlation of depression and cancer is a complicated yet promising field with fast-paced progression and vital clinical values. Therefore, we discussed in this review the associations between depression and cancer and their potential mechanisms by analyzing the specific role of depression in the development and progression of tumors from the perspective of suppressing tumor immunity, inhibiting tumor cell apoptosis, inducing DNA damage, promoting tumor cell mesenchymal transition, enhancing tumor cell stemness, and promoting tumor angiogenesis. This review also discusses how tumors influence the development of depression via inflammatory factors and the significance of identifying and treating depression to enhance the quality of life and prognosis of patients with cancer. Promising biomarkers and effective treatments are also highlighted. Despite available data, limited research exists on how treating depression affects cancer prognosis, and whether timely treatment can reduce cancer risk remains unclear, which necessitates further investigation. This review summarizes the molecular mechanisms involved in the relationship between cancer and depression to help identify new biomarkers and provide precise medical care for patients with depression.

Their immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) and intrinsic molecular heterogeneity hinder effective therapeutic responses. Epigenetic dysregulation in gliomas significantly impacts tumor progression and immune evasion, presenting an opportunity for therapeutic intervention. This systematic review evaluates the role of epigenetic reprogramming in modulating antitumor immune responses in gliomas and explores its potential to enhance treatment outcomes. A comprehensive literature search across major databases, adhering to PRISMA guidelines, identified preclinical and clinical studies examining the effects of epigenetic therapies on glioma-associated immune modulation. Inclusion criteria focused on studies involving DNA methylation inhibitors, histone deacetylase inhibitors, chromatin remodelers, and non-coding RNA-based therapies. Key outcomes included immune activation, tumor progression, survival, and TME modulation. Among 22 included studies, epigenetic therapies demonstrated substantial efficacy in reprogramming the glioma immune landscape. DNA methylation inhibitors such as decitabine enhanced antigen presentation and immune recognition, while histone deacetylase inhibitors improved T-cell-mediated cytotoxicity. Non-coding RNA-targeted interventions disrupted immune suppression and facilitated immune cell infiltration. These strategies showed synergistic potential with immune checkpoint inhibitors, leading to tumor growth inhibition and improved survival in preclinical models. Epigenetic therapies hold promise in overcoming glioma-induced immune resistance by modulating immune escape mechanisms and reprogramming the TME. Their integration with existing treatment modalities, including immunotherapy, represents a transformative avenue for glioma management. Further clinical validation is warranted to optimize their therapeutic potential and safety.</p>","PeriodicalId":18433,"journal":{"name":"Medical Oncology","volume":"42 6","pages":"213"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144086479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
