Studies on AML have highlighted the crucial role of IFN-γ therapy in immune surveillance, both promotive and inhibitory effects on leukemic cells, and regulation of the tumor microenvironment. However, there is a need for a comprehensive understanding of the dual effects of IFN-γ in AML. Thus, this review aimed to assess the dual effects of IFN-γ in AML. Literature searches were conducted in Pub Med, Google Scholar, and direct Google Search. The data was presented in tables and figures, with findings summarized through a narrative synthesis. Depending on the circumstances and stage of the disease IFN-γ shows two different activities in AML patients. First, IFN-γ enhances NK cells and CD8<sup>+</sup> <em>T</em> lymphocyte functions, which collectively evoke antileukemic immunity. Another promising effect of IFN-γ includes the differentiation of myeloid cells, thereby possibly reducing the severity of leukemia. However, prolonged exposure to IFN-γ can activate Treg cells and inhibitory immunological checkpoints, which can help leukemia evade immune surveillance and encounter an immunosuppressive environment. Our review highlights IFN-γ's critical role in the complex interplay between the immune system and AML pathogenesis. Its dual role in both inhibiting and promoting leukemic processes has been highlighted. However, future pre-clinical and clinical studies should focus on the specific mechanisms by which IFN-γ impacts AML progression and treatment outcomes, with the goal of achieving curative results for patients.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21750,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in oncology","volume":"52 3","pages":"Article 152347"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143907607","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By controlling the inflammatory and tissue-repair reactions to damage, the Toll-like receptors (TLRs), as a family of PRRs, have attracted increasing attention for its function in protecting the host against infection and preserving tissue homeostasis. Microbial infection, damage, inflammation, and tissue healing have all been linked to the development of malignancies, especially gastrointestinal (GI) cancers. Recently, increased studies on TLR recognition and binding, as well as their ligands, have significantly advanced our knowledge of the various TLR signaling pathways and offered therapy options for GI malignancies. Upon activation by pathogen-associated or damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs and PAMPs), TLRs trigger key pathways like NF-κB, MAPK, and IRF. NF-κB activation promotes inflammation, cell survival, and proliferation, often contributing to tumor growth, metastasis, and therapy resistance. MAPK pathways similarly drive uncontrolled cell growth and invasion, while IRF pathways modulate interferon production, yielding both anti-tumor and protumor effects. The resulting chronic inflammatory environment within tumors can foster progression, yet TLR activation can also stimulate beneficial anti-tumor immune responses. However, the functions of TLR expression in GI cancers and their diagnostic and prognostic along with therapeutic value have not yet entirely been elucidated. Understanding how TLR activation contributes to anti-cancer immunity against GI malignancies may hasten immunotherapy developments and increase patient survival.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21750,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in oncology","volume":"52 3","pages":"Article 152344"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143924454","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its deregulation affects tumor cell proliferation, metastasis, immune evasion, and therapeutic resistance. By removing m6A methylation marks, FTO can alter the stability and translation of key oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. These modifications directly influence essential cellular pathways involved in cancer progression, such as the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases/ protein kinase B (PI3K/AKT), Wnt/β-catenin, and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathways. This review explores the mechanistic roles of FTO in cancer pathogenesis, focusing on its dual impact on immune regulation and chemotherapy response. In terms of immunity, FTO has been shown to promote immune evasion by modulating the expression of immune checkpoints and influencing the tumor microenvironment. Additionally, FTO’s influence on autophagy, glycolysis, and apoptosis resistance further complicates the effectiveness of chemotherapy treatments. By discussing the molecular details of how FTO regulates these processes, we provide insights into how FTO could serve as a promising therapeutic target to overcome cancer-related challenges, including immune resistance and chemotherapy failure.

As a critical structural protein of the extracellular matrix (ECM), collagen not only maintains tissue architecture but also regulates key physiological functions through complex biosynthetic pathways. Deregulation in collagen biosynthesis, characterized by abnormal transcription, post-translational modifications, and deposition, contributes to ECM remodeling and tumor progression. This review explores the involvement of diverse collagen family members in cancer progression across multiple cancer types. Several collagen isoforms have emerged as key players in cancer progression, influencing tumor behavior and act as potential biomarkers for prognosis. Furthermore, circulating collagen fragments in blood present promising avenues for non-invasive cancer diagnosis and disease monitoring. Tumor collagen remodeling alters ECM architecture, impacting tumor-stromal interactions and fostering a microenvironment conducive to favour invasion and metastasis. Mechanistic insights reveal that collagen-induced signalling pathways are the major drivers of stemness, drug resistance, EMT, metastasis, angiogenesis and immune evasion, which collectively shape tumor cell behavior and immune infiltration dynamics.

Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy, particularly with PD-1 inhibitors like nivolumab, has become a critical treatment option for advanced NSCLC. ICI therapy has revolutionized treatment, but prior chemotherapy may diminish ICI treatment efficacy. Tumor mutation burden (TMB) has emerged as a crucial predictor of ICI response, yet its interaction with chemotherapy history in ICI therapy is not fully understood. In this study, I investigate the impact of chemotherapy history on ICI treatment outcomes, focusing on TMB as a potential mitigating factor. Analyzing data from 512 patients with advanced NSCLC treated with PD-1/PD-L1 or CTLA-4 inhibitors, this sudy found that prior chemotherapy significantly reduced objective response rates (ORR) to ICI therapy, particularly in patients with low TMB (<15 mut/Mb). However, in patients with high TMB (≥15 mut/Mb), the negative impact of chemotherapy history on ICI treatment efficacy is minimal, suggesting that high TMB mitigates chemotherapy-induced resistance to ICI therapy. Furthermore, while chemotherapy history is associated with worse overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) following ICI therapy in low-TMB patients, no such association is observed in high-TMB patients. These findings highlight the importance of TMB as a predictive biomarker, emphasizing the need for optimal treatment sequencing and personalized therapeutic strategies to overcome chemotherapy-induced immune resistance and maximize ICI treatment efficacy. These results suggest that ICI therapy may be more beneficial as a first-line treatment, particularly for patients with low TMB.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21750,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in oncology","volume":"52 2","pages":"Article 152334"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143601473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
