Emerging evidence indicates that hyperglycemia promotes the formation and expansion of BC stem-like cells (BCSC), contributing to worse outcomes in patients with T2DM. To support early detection and personalized therapy, there is an urgent need to identify novel biomarkers that specifically target BCSCs in patients with T2DM. The present study examined the effects of glycated albumin (GA) on the cellular functions of KAIMRC1, a naturally immortalized BCSC line derived from invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC), the primary breast carcinoma developed in patients with T2DM. Cells were subjected to <i>in vitro</i> assays, including soft agar colony formation, real-time monitoring of cell proliferation, motility and invasion through a reconstituted basement membrane using the xCELLigence system and western blotting. A triple-negative BC cell line was used as a comparator. Aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activity was quantified using a biochemical assay. As expected, KAIMRC1 cells exhibited high ALDH activity, a characteristic feature of cancer stem-like cells (CSCs). GA induced dose-dependent increases in KAIMRC1 cell proliferation, motility, invasion and colony formation and was associated with elevated levels of the oncoprotein phosphorylated-ERK1/2, the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) and the stemness-associated proteins OCT3/4 and vimentin. GA-treated KAIMRC1 cells showed notable invasive capacity despite slow proliferation, consistent with known metastatic potential of quiescent CSCs. Conversely, unglycated albumin had no detectable biological effects except for an anti-mitogenic response at high concentration. Bioinformatics analyses showed that vimentin mRNA was upregulated in patients with BC and DM and was associated with a poor prognosis in patients with BC. RAGE neutralization attenuated GA-induced vimentin upregulation. Altogether, these findings show that GA exerts pro-tumorigenic effects in IDC-derived CSCs and upregulates vimentin protein expression via RAGE, highlighting the GA-RAGE axis as a potential therapeutic target and supporting vimentin as a promising prognostic marker for invasive BC in patients with DM.</p>","PeriodicalId":19503,"journal":{"name":"Oncology Letters","volume":"31 5","pages":"186"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13034109/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147593462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Studies indicate that following treatment with BRAF inhibitors and/or MEK inhibitors, melanoma cells alter metabolic pathways by modifying various regulatory factors.

Collectively, these alterations reshape the tumor microenvironment, suppress ferroptosis and activate alternative signaling pathways, thereby conferring resistance to targeted therapy. This paper systematically reviews the mechanisms underlying therapy-induced metabolic reprogramming in BRAF-mutant melanoma and explores potential combinatorial strategies that target these metabolic vulnerabilities alongside established melanoma therapies. Key metabolic targets with promising therapeutic potential identified include lysine-specific demethylase 1, oxidative phosphorylation components, phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase, indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 and lipid metabolism enzymes such as fatty acid synthase and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme a reductase.</p>","PeriodicalId":19503,"journal":{"name":"Oncology Letters","volume":"31 5","pages":"184"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13034113/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147593456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An early and accurate diagnosis of bone metastasis is critical in order to optimize therapeutic strategies and palliative care. Computer-based image processing techniques have proved promising to improve diagnostic efficiency. The present systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the diagnostic performance metrics of computational image processing techniques in patients with lung cancer and bone metastasis. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-analysis guidelines, a comprehensive literature search was conducted across different databases between January 2010 and December 2024. Studies assessing computational image-processing techniques in patients with lung cancer and bone metastasis were included. Confusion matrix parameters were extracted and the bivariate Reitsma model was applied to estimate the pooled diagnostic performance. Heterogeneity and inconsistency (variance of components and I<sup>2</sup> values), and risk of bias (quality assessment of diagnostic accuracy studies-2 tool) were appraised for the included studies. Overall, 6 studies were included in the meta-analysis. A high overall diagnostic accuracy (area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curve, 0.931), a pooled sensitivity of 0.86 and a specificity of 0.88 were achieved. Favorable positive and negative likelihood ratios (7.22 and 0.165, respectively) indicated the strong discriminatory ability of the model. Despite some heterogeneity, stable high negative predictive values confirmed the reliability of ruling out non-metastasis when screening for metastasis.

Of these, 10 (24%) patients underwent surgery followed by RT (median dose, 60 Gy), whereas 32 (76%) underwent definitive RT (median dose, 66 Gy) and a total of 23 (72%) patients received concurrent chemotherapy with definitive RT.
