This study shows how the selective immune pressure in early-stage tumours drives interferon-γ-dependent metabolic reprogramming in cancer cells to mediate immune escape.
In this study, Jung-Garcia et al. use in vitro and in vivo modelling to demonstrate the role of LAP1 in promoting melanoma cell invasion and highlight its link to metastatic dissemination.
Reprogrammed metabolism is a hallmark of cancer. Here, Li, Zhang and colleagues describe how signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) proteins alter cancer cell metabolism by sensing and transducing signals from the tumour environment and modulating signalling pathways, transcription factors, mitochondrial proteins and enzymes.
This Review discusses the diverse ways in which cancer-associated RNA splicing dysregulation promotes tumour initiation and progression, existing and emerging approaches for targeting splicing for cancer therapy and outstanding questions and challenges in the field.
Acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) is a key metabolite in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism and plays a role in signalling through protein acetylation, and the dysregulation of these pathways is a hallmark of various cancers. In this Review, Guertin and Wellen give an overview of acetyl-CoA metabolism in health and in cancer and discuss emerging therapeutic strategies for targeting metabolic pathways involving acetyl-CoA.
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide and its incidence continues to rise, mostly owing to an increase in human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. In this Review, the authors describe HPV-positive and HPV-negative HNSCC tumour microenvironments and discuss current and novel treatment modalities.
