Despite recent advances in stratifying T-ALL into molecular subtypes with distinct driver mutations, efforts to target the tumor-intrinsic genomic alterations critical for T-ALL progression have yet to translate into more effective and less toxic therapies. Ample evidence now indicates that extrinsic factors in the leukemic microenvironment are critical for T-ALL growth, infiltration, and therapeutic resistance. Considering the diversity of organs infiltrated by T-ALL cells and the unique cellular components of the microenvironment encountered at each site, it is likely that there are both shared features of tumor-supportive niches across multiple organs and site-specific features that are key to leukemia cell survival. Therefore, elucidating the distinct microenvironmental cues supporting T-ALL in different anatomic locations could reveal novel therapeutic targets to improve therapies. This review summarizes the current understanding of the intricate interplay between leukemia cells and the diverse cells they encounter within their tumor microenvironments (TMEs), as well as opportunities to therapeutically target the leukemic microenvironment.</p>","PeriodicalId":50466,"journal":{"name":"Experimental and Molecular Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":9.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142559205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By integrating genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic data, we identified five distinct functional subgroups that accurately represented the clinical characteristics and biological behaviors of patients with YBC. Our integrated approach could be used to determine the proteogenomic status of HER2, enhancing its clinical significance and prognostic value. Furthermore, we present a proteome-based homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) analysis that has the potential to overcome the limitations of conventional genomic HRD tests, facilitating the identification of new patient groups requiring targeted HR deficiency treatments. Additionally, we demonstrated that protein-RNA correlations can be used to predict the late recurrence of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. Within each molecular subtype of breast cancer, we identified functionally significant protein groups whose differential abundance was closely correlated with the clinical progression of breast cancer. Furthermore, we derived a recurrence predictive index capable of predicting late recurrence, specifically in luminal subtypes, which plays a crucial role in guiding decisions on treatment durations for YBC patients. These findings improve the stratification and clinical implications for patients with YBC by contributing to the optimal adjuvant treatment and duration for favorable clinical outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":50466,"journal":{"name":"Experimental and Molecular Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":9.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142559287","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
