The tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a pivotal role in tumor development, apart from supplying energy for tumor proliferation and impeding the body's anti-tumor immune response, the TME actively facilitates tumor progression and immune escape via diverse pathways, which include the modulation of heritable gene expression alterations and the intricate interplay with the gut microbiota. In this review, we aim to elucidate the mechanisms underlying drug resistance in digestive tumors, focusing on immune-mediated resistance, microbial crosstalk, metabolism, and epigenetics. We will highlight the unique characteristics of each digestive tumor and emphasize the significance of the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME). Furthermore, we will discuss the current therapeutic strategies that hold promise for combination with cancer immune normalization therapies. This review aims to provide a thorough understanding of the resistance mechanisms in digestive tumors and offer insights into potential therapeutic interventions.","PeriodicalId":20774,"journal":{"name":"Recent patents on anti-cancer drug discovery","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139666743","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}

The role of TPD52 in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC) remains uncertain. Objective: We aimed to investigate the involvement of TPD52 in the pathogenesis of UCEC. Methods: We employed bioinformatics analysis and experimental validation in our study. Results: Our findings indicated that elevated TPD52 expression in UCEC was significantly associated with various clinical factors, including clinical stage, race, weight, body mass index (BMI), histological type, histological grade, surgical approach, and age (p < 0.01). Furthermore, high TPD52 expression was a predictor of poorer overall survival (OS), progress-free survival (PFS), and disease-specific survival (DSS) (p = 0.011, p = 0.006, and p = 0.003, respectively). TPD52 exhibited a significant correlation with DSS (HR: 2.500; 95% CI: 1.153-5.419; p = 0.02). TPD52 was involved in GPCR ligand binding and formation of the cornified envelope in UCEC. Moreover, TPD52 expression was found to be associated with immune infiltration, immune checkpoints, tumor mutation burden (TMB)/ microsatellite instability (MSI), and mRNA stemness indices (mRNAsi). The somatic mutation rate of TPD52 in UCEC was 1.9%. A ceRNA network of AC011447.7/miR-1-3p/TPD52 was constructed. There was excessive TPD52 protein expression. The upregulation of TPD52 expression in UCEC cell lines was found to be statistically significant. Conclusion: TPD52 is upregulated in UCEC and may be a useful patent for prognostic biomarkers of UCEC, which may have important value for clinical treatment and supervision of UCEC patients.","PeriodicalId":20774,"journal":{"name":"Recent patents on anti-cancer drug discovery","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139666910","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}
