MBD, a prevalent and debilitating complication of multiple myeloma, leads to bone pain, fractures, and skeletal-related events (SREs), which profoundly impact patients’ quality of life. The guidelines offer a thorough framework for diagnosis, treatment, and continual assessment, emphasizing early detection and consistent monitoring using imaging techniques such as positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Treatment strategies prioritize the careful application of anti-myeloma agents, bisphosphonates, and denosumab to minimize bone loss and decrease SRE risk, complemented by surgical and radiotherapy interventions for structural or pain-related issues. Supportive care measures, including pain management, rehabilitation, nutritional support, and dental evaluations, play a crucial role in enhancing patient outcomes and preserving quality of life. This consensus advocates a standardized, evidence-based approach to managing MBD, ensuring comprehensive and coordinated care for patients.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":93920,"journal":{"name":"Cancer pathogenesis and therapy","volume":"3 4","pages":"Pages 280-292"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144548948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Claudin-9 (CLDN9) has been demonstrated to be upregulated in various cancers. However, its prognostic value, biological function, and regulatory mechanisms in GC remain unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to elucidate the role of <em>CLDN9</em> in GC progression and its underlying mechanisms.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>We utilized consensus cluster, random survival forest, and multivariate Cox regression analyses to identify <em>CLDN9</em> in GC. Subsequently, we evaluated the mRNA and protein levels of <em>CLDN9</em> in GC using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (qRT-PCR), Western blotting (WB), and immunohistochemistry (IHC). Furthermore, the role of <em>CLDN9</em> in GC progression was investigated using a series of functional <em>in vivo</em> and <em>in vitro</em> experiments. Finally, we elucidated the molecular mechanisms of <em>CLDN9</em> using bioinformatics, molecular biology, animal models, and patient tissue specimens.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Two GC subtypes with survival and functional differences were identified based on glycolytic metabolic genes in the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)- Stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) dataset. A prognostic risk score was calculated using seven genes to assess the overall survival (OS) in GC. Using random survival forest and multivariate Cox analyses, we identified <em>CLDN9</em> as the key gene linked to the glycolytic subtype and prognosis of GC. <em>CLDN9</em> expression was significantly upregulated in patients with GC as well as in GC cells. <em>CLDN9</em> knockdown inhibited tumor proliferation, invasion, and metastasis both <em>in vivo</em> and <em>in vitro</em>. Mechanistically, <em>CLDN9</em> was found to regulate lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) expression and promote glycolytic metabolism by activating the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT)/hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF1α) signaling pathway. Additionally, lactate, a glycolytic metabolite, enhanced programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) lactylation and stability, which suppressed anti-tumor immunity in CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells, thereby contributing to GC progression.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div><em>CLDN9</em> expression is associated with GC development and progression. Mechanistically, <em>CLDN9</em> enhances the glycolysis pathway and facilitates PD-L1 lactylation through the PI3K/AKT/HIF1α signaling pathway, thereby suppressing anti-tumor immunity in CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells. <em>CLDN9</em> has the potential to serve as a novel prognostic marker and therapeutic target for GC.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":93920,"journal":{"name":"Cancer pathogenesis and therapy","volume":"3 3","pages":"Pages 253-266"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143887014","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
