Here, we report the results of the final survival analysis. <b>Methods:</b> A total of 636 patients with treatment-naïve, locally advanced or metastatic nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer (nsq-NSCLC) without epidermal growth factor receptor (<i>EGFR</i>) or anaplastic lymphoma kinase (<i>ALK</i>)<i>/</i>ROS proto-oncogene 1 receptor tyrosine kinase (<i>ROS1</i>) genetic alterations were randomized 1:1:1 to receive serplulimab plus HLX04 and chemotherapy (group A), serplulimab plus HLX04 placebo and chemotherapy (group B), or double placebo plus chemotherapy (group C). Patients and the investigators were blinded to the group assignments. The primary endpoint was blinded independent central review-assessed PFS. Overall survival (OS) was the key secondary endpoint. <b>Results:</b> At the final analysis, median OS was 23.7 (95% confidence interval [CI] 20.5 to 27.5) months, 26.8 (95% CI 21.2 to 30.9) months, and 20.3 (95% CI 16.2 to 24.6) months in groups A (<i>n</i> = 212), B (<i>n</i> = 214), and C (<i>n</i> = 210), respectively. A significant reduction in risk of death for group B compared to group C was observed (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.66, 95% CI 0.52 to 0.83; <i>P</i> < 0.001).

However, the function of amino acid reprogramming in HCC metastatic progression remains unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the function and mechanism of amino acid reprogramming, particularly focusing on proline metabolism, in driving HCC metastasis. <b>Methods:</b> HCC cohort and multiple HCC models were enrolled to investigate the role of amino acid reprogramming in HCC metastatic progression. The pro-metastatic effect of l-proline in HCC was consistently validated across in vitro and in vivo studies. Ribosome profiling (Ribo-seq) and l-proline pull-down were used to investigate the mechanism of proline-mediated HCC metastasis. <b>Results:</b> Based on metabolomics and proteomics, we found that proline metabolism was enhanced during HCC metastasis, as evidenced by increased proline levels and proline metabolism-related enzymes in both HCC metastatic patients and mice. Moreover, high levels of proline were found to promote HCC metastasis. Mechanistically, l-proline directly interacted with glutamyl-prolyl-tRNA synthetase 1 (EPRS1) at its Glu<sup>1123</sup> residue, thereby selectively enhancing the translation of phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit α (PIK3CA), AKT serine/threonine kinase 3 (AKT3), and integrin subunit β1 (ITGB1). Importantly, the enhanced protein translation could be abolished by bersiporocin, an EPRS1 inhibitor that prevents l-proline binding to EPRS1. Finally, the inhibitory effect of bersiporocin on HCC metastasis was confirmed in patient-derived orthotopic xenograft models. <b>Conclusions:</b> Our findings not only revealed the critical role of l-proline-bound EPRS1 in promoting HCC metastasis but also indicated that inhibiting this binding could be a promising strategy to prevent metastasis.</p>","PeriodicalId":9495,"journal":{"name":"Cancer Communications","volume":"46 ","pages":"0028"},"PeriodicalIF":28.4,"publicationDate":"2026-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13172588/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147962347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
