By performing an unbiased analysis of PAX8-regulated genes, we discovered two PAX8-regulated genes-coiled-coil domain-containing protein 80 (CCDC80) and cluster of differentiation 276 (CD276) antigen (also known as B7-H3)-that mediate PAX8 activity and play key cancer cell autonomous roles in this disease. Our findings indicate that PAX8 negatively regulates CCDC80, a novel cell autonomous tumor suppressor in HGSC. We demonstrate that CCDC80, localized to the nucleus, significantly reduces HGSC tumor growth and metastasis in vivo in a mouse model. Notably, CCDC80 exerts its function by suppressing the expression of the immune checkpoint protein B7-H3. However, in HGSC, B7-H3 is predominantly cytoplasmic and promotes HGSC proliferation and migration independent of its immune role. Additionally, PAX8 positively regulates B7-H3 expression in a CCDC80-independent manner, underscoring the multifaceted oncogenic role of PAX8. This study highlights the complex regulatory network involving PAX8, CCDC80, and B7-H3 in HGSC progression.

Motivated by the prognostic and therapeutic significance of CD47 and the limited knowledge regarding its roles beyond immune evasion in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), we sought to define the cellular and molecular processes driven by intrinsic CD47 signaling in NSCLC. Transcriptome profiling of CD47 wild-type and knockout NSCLC cells implicated its regulation of genes enriched for signatures of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). A significant positive association between CD47 and MAPK/EMT expression signatures was also evident in large cohorts of NSCLC cell lines and tumor tissues. Functional studies indicated that CD47 does not regulate cell proliferation in NSCLC cells like it does in other cancer types. Instead, CD47 regulates cell adhesion and migration through an ERK and EMT axis, validating our transcriptomic findings. Moreover, CD47 loss-of-function significantly diminished the ability of NSCLC cells to metastasize in vivo, demonstrating the physiological relevance of cell-intrinsic CD47 signaling in lung cancer cells. Our data reveal a novel role for CD47 in relaying signals through ERK to promote EMT expression programs and prometastatic phenotypes in NSCLC.

Despite their inactivity, dormant DTCs are far from inert. Dormant DTCs dynamically interact with the surrounding tumor microenvironment (TME), including stromal, vascular, and immune components, to establish niches that maintain quiescence while limiting immune detection.

Mechanistically, ixazomib prevented proteasome-mediated degradation of ubiquitinated topoI, restoring its stability. In vivo, the combination significantly suppressed tumor growth in a DLD-1 xenograft model compared with SN-38 alone. These findings indicate that UPP-dependent topoI degradation is a key mechanism underlying irinotecan resistance in colorectal cancer. Pharmacological inhibition of the proteasome effectively prevents topoI loss and restores irinotecan sensitivity, suggesting that proteasome inhibitors such as ixazomib may serve as promising therapeutic partners for camptothecin-based chemotherapy.</p>","PeriodicalId":18764,"journal":{"name":"Molecular Oncology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147690684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
