Molecular studies of ATCs have described several genetic alterations leading to FDA approval of inhibitor therapy targeting <em>BRAFV600E</em>, <em>NTRK</em>, <em>ALK</em> and <em>RET</em>. <em>MET</em> alterations have been described in single cases, which have not yet led to approval for inhibitor therapy, although approval for these alterations in other tumors, such as lung cancer, already exist. Aim of this study was to provide an overview of MET alterations in ATC, highlighting their potential therapeutic relevance. In this study, a total of 28 ATCs were examined using <em>MET</em> immunohistochemistry (IHC), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and both RNA- and DNA-based next-generation sequencing. Molecular findings were correlated with tumor morphology as well as clinical follow-up data. Three ATC samples (10 %) revealed <em>MET</em> alterations, namely top-level gene amplification (defined by an average gene count ≥10.0) and <em>ETV6-MET</em> fusion. Concomitant <em>MET</em> protein overexpression was demonstrated by IHC. One case without a detectable <em>MET</em> alteration showed IHC-positivity in > 50 % of the tumor cells with strong staining intensity. Two top-level amplified samples expressed the same chimeric <em>CAPZA2–MET</em> fusion transcript, which we interpret as a biological byproduct rather than a true molecular driver. DNA sequencing did not reveal any activating <em>MET</em> mutations including exon 14 skipping. <em>MET</em> alterations were here mutually exclusive with driver mutations in <em>BRAF</em>, <em>RAS</em>, and <em>PIK3CA</em>, but co-occurred with <em>TP53</em> mutations and <em>TERT</em> promoter mutations. <em>MET</em> alterations in ATC have been poorly described to date. Herein, we present the first structured evaluation of a series of ATCs focusing on <em>MET</em> gene alterations, including gene amplification, immunohistochemical expression, and gene fusions. Our results confirm that <em>MET</em> top-level amplifications (detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization, FISH) and <em>MET</em> gene fusions (detected by RNA-based NGS) occur in a subgroup of ATCs. As these alterations are druggable in other cancers, early molecular testing may identify <em>MET</em>-positive ATCs eligible for anti-<em>MET</em> therapies in clinical trials. We recommend RNA-based sequencing and FISH as biomarker assays to identify <em>MET</em> alterations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19916,"journal":{"name":"Pathology, research and practice","volume":"275 ","pages":"Article 156240"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145158496","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}

HR10 significantly suppressed cell viability in HCT-116, HCT-15, HT-29, and SNU-C2A cells while having minimal impact on normal colon cells. Mechanistically, HR10 induced autophagy by upregulating Atg7, p-Beclin-1, and Beclin-1, and triggered paraptosis through the downregulation of Alix, a key inhibitor of this process. Additionally, HR10 increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, disrupted mitochondrial membrane potential, and activated ER stress by elevating ATF4 and CHOP expression. Moreover, HR10 inhibited the Wnt/β-catenin pathway by downregulating β-catenin, Wnt3a, and FZD-1, while enhancing β-TrCP and p-GSK3β (Tyr216). Knockdown of β-catenin further confirmed that HR10-mediated autophagy and paraptosis were directly associated with the suppression of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling cascade. These results highlight the dual mechanisms of autophagy and paraptosis induction, positioning HR10 as a promising therapeutic candidate for colorectal cancer.

Three decades of work position the Cdk5–p25 axis as a convergent pathogenic mechanism in Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, Parkinson’s disease, traumatic brain injury, and in subsets of metabolic and solid-tumor contexts. High-resolution structures of Cdk5–p25 reveal a distinctive activation-loop “cradle” and a tract leading toward catalytic Lys33 that enable structure-guided inhibitor design. Recent advances include (i) small molecules that “vector” toward Lys33 and achieve ∼70–125 × selectivity over closely related CDKs in biochemical assays, (ii) brain-penetrant peptide disruptors that preferentially inhibit Cdk5–p25 while sparing basal Cdk5–p35 signaling in rodent models, and (iii) early-stage degradation or genetic approaches (e.g., dual-target PROTACs; calpain-resistant p35 or Cdk5 knockdown) that reduce p25 signaling or Cdk5 levels in cells. Across inducible mouse models, toxin paradigms, and tumor xenografts, interventions that blunt the p25-driven switch ameliorate cognitive deficits, preserve dopaminergic neurons, improve insulin secretion in β-cell models, and slow tumor growth, respectively.
