We determined the expression of WTAP and its correlation with clinicopathological features in paraffin-embedded tissues. We investigated the effects of WTAP on melanoma cells via a CCK-8 assay, a colony formation assay, an EdU assay, a Transwell assay, and subcutaneous xenograft experiments. We then applied RNA sequencing to further screen candidate targets, and NT5E was selected as the downstream gene of WTAP. Finally, a series of rescue assays, together with nucleotidase assays and ELISA, were adopted to confirm the function of NT5E in melanoma progression. We demonstrated that WTAP expression was downregulated in melanoma, which was associated with a poor prognosis, and that WTAP expression served as an independent predictor of melanoma survival. Functionally, WTAP hindered the proliferation, growth, migration, and invasion of melanoma cells. Furthermore, NT5E was identified as the downstream effector of WTAP and was subsequently found to rescue the increased proliferation, migration, and invasion of melanoma cells induced by WTAP deficiency. Moreover, knockdown of WTAP increased the expression of NT5E, MMP2, and N-cadherin, and simultaneous transfection with siNT5E reversed the increased expression of MMP2 and N-cadherin. Moreover, increased NT5E expression caused by forced WTAP inhibition in melanoma promoted the hydrolysis of AMP to produce more adenosine and further abrogated the secretion of IFN-γ by PBMCs. We found that WTAP expression is significantly downregulated and restrains the progression of melanoma via the downstream effects of NT5E on immunosuppression and molecular adhesion.

The findings reveal that RAN represents one of the most significantly aberrant genes in MM, with its expression significantly elevated in both MM tissues and cells. Genetic manipulation experiments demonstrated that RAN promotes MM cell proliferation by activating the Wnt/PCP pathway. Concurrently, RAN governs the response of MM cells to the anti-cancer drug bortezomib (BTZ). Knockdown of RAN leads to increased sensitivity to BTZ. Mechanistic studies indicate that RAN influences drug response by regulating the activation of the JNK/c-Jun axis, thereby affecting the therapeutic response of MM cells.

It is widely expressed in immune cells (such as dendritic cells, macrophages) and some tumor cells, and has been shown to play a crucial role in the development of several tumors. However, issues such as the expression of STING in CRC and patient prognosis remain to be further elucidated. We investigated the expression of STING (in CRC tumor cells) and immune markers (CD3, CD4, CD8, CD56, CD163) in 86 CRC patients by tissue microarray using multicolor immunohistochemistry. Subsequently, the effect of STING on the tumor immune microenvironment was further explored. Finally, we analyzed the clinical significance of STING in CRC patients. We found elevated STING expression in tumor cells from CRC patients, which correlated with overall patient survival. High STING levels were associated with suppression of lymph node metastasis and reduction of CD163 tumor-associated macrophages. In contrast, upregulation of STING promoted infiltration of CD3+ T lymphocytes and CD8 lymphocyte subtype in the tumor microenvironment.
