The SWIch/sucrose nonfermentable chromatin remodeling factor (CRF) is closely related to EMT; however, the relationship between CRF and EMT in OCS remains unclear. In this study, we analyzed the protein expression of CRFs, including ARID1A and SMARCA4, and their downstream mRNA expression in 28 OCS cases, two fallopian tube CS cases, and one peritoneal CS case. ARID1A and SMARCA4 exhibited a histological type-specific loss of protein expression in 5 of 11 (45%) endometrioid cases and all 5 serous/homologous OCS cases, respectively. The mRNA analysis suggested that sarcomatogenesis is induced by the transforming growth factor-β and Hippo signaling pathways, both of which regulate YAP1. Immunostaining for YAP1 suggested YAP1-associated sarcomatogenesis in the CRF-retained group, whereas YAP1-unassociated sarcomatogenesis was suggested in the CRF-reduced group. High-grade serous carcinoma cell line experiments showed that the transcriptome of the SMARCA4-knockdown group showed lower expression of the epithelial gene CDH1 and higher expression of mesenchymal genes such as VIM, ZEB1, and SNAI1 than the control group. Moreover, cell adhesion disappeared and cell morphology changed to a spindle shape, indicating sarcomatogenesis.

The results showed that MAGE-A4 expression was limited to cells transduced with the MAGE-A4 gene. MAGE-A4 expression was observed in 5.7% of the BC samples. Positivity in triple-negative BC was significantly higher than in the other subtypes. The 5-year overall survival rate of patients with MAGE-A4(+) was significantly worse than those with MAGE-A4(-) BC.

In this study, data from 75 patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) were analyzed and endoscopic assessments were conducted to determine submucosal (SM) invasion. An AI model, specifically a Clustering-constrained Attention Multiple Instance Learning model (CLAM), was developed to predict the depth of cancer by training on surface histological images taken from both invasive and non-invasive regions. The AI model highlighted specific image portions, or patches, which were further examined to identify morphological differences between the two types of areas. The 256-pixel AI model demonstrated an average area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) value of 0.869 and an accuracy (ACC) of 0.788. The analysis of the AI-identified patches revealed that regions with invasion (SM) exhibited greater vascularity compared with non-invasive regions (epithelial). The invasive patches were characterized by a significant increase in the number and size of blood vessels, as well as a higher count of red blood cells (all with p-values <0.001).

To explore cancer radiosensitivity, analysis in combination with omics data is important. The Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE) provides multi-layer omics data for hundreds of cancer cell lines. However, the radiosensitivity counterpart is lacking. To address this issue, we aimed to establish a database of radiosensitivity, as assessed by the gold standard clonogenic assays, for the CCLE cell lines by collecting data from the literature. A deep learning-based screen of 33,284 papers identified 926 relevant studies, from which SF<sub>2</sub> (survival fraction after 2 Gy irradiation) data were extracted. The median SF<sub>2</sub> (mSF<sub>2</sub>) was calculated for each cell line, generating an mSF<sub>2</sub> database comprising 285 cell lines from 28 cancer types. The mSF<sub>2</sub> showed a normal distribution among higher and lower cancer-type hierarchies, demonstrating a large variation across and within cancer types. In selected cell lines, mSF<sub>2</sub> correlated significantly with the single-institution SF<sub>2</sub> obtained using standardized experimental protocols or with integral survival, a radiosensitivity index that correlates with clonogenic survival. Notably, the mSF<sub>2</sub> for blood cancer cell lines was significantly lower than that for solid cancer cell lines, which is in line with the empirical knowledge that blood cancers are radiosensitive. Furthermore, the CCLE-derived protein levels of NFE2L2 and SQSTM1, which are involved in antioxidant damage responses that confer radioresistance, correlated significantly with mSF<sub>2</sub>.

Yet, the mechanisms underlying this tumor exosome-induced metastatic niche formation are poorly explored. In this study, the secreted protein arginyl aminopeptidase (RNPEP) was highly expressed in the plasma of patients with HCC. In addition, high-metastatic HCC cells showed augmented RNPEP expression levels in their exosomes. These exosomes induced obvious CAF-like properties in the human fibroblast cell line MRC-5, as evidenced by the increased CAF marker expression, and enhanced migratory ability. More strikingly, the secretions from high-metastatic tumor exosome-educated MRC-5 cells increased tumor stemness and promoted epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in MHCC-97L cells, a low-metastatic HCC cell line. However, the knockdown of RNPEP in exosomes from high-metastatic HCC cells abated the changes described above. Animal studies in vivo highlighted the pro-tumor and pro-metastatic effects of exosomal RNPEP on MHCC-97L cells by inducing CAF activation. Furthermore, tumor-derived exosomal RNPEP induced the activation of NF-κB signaling in MRC-5 cells, a critical pathway associated with CAF activation.
