Multimodal Cytogenetic and Molecular Approach for the Detection of a Constitutional Balanced Paracentric Inversion Disrupting RB1 in an Infant With Bilateral Retinoblastoma. (PubMed, Genes Chromosomes Cancer)
The patient was treated on a non-protocol treatment plan with five cycles of vincristine, carboplatin, etoposide, cyclophosphamide, and weekly intraventricular topotecan via Ommaya reservoir, followed by autologous stem cell rescue. Optical genome mapping (OGM) showed that the proximal breakpoint of the balanced inversion at 13q14.2 was within intron 17 of RB1, while the distal breakpoint at 13q31.3 did not interrupt any known genes of clinical significance. We review the various molecular techniques that aided in diagnosis of this patient and provide a summary of similar RB1-disrupting structural variants reported in the literature.

Methionine aminopeptidase 1D preserves myogenic cell integrity via maintaining mitochondrial activity. (PubMed, Exp Cell Res)
Furthermore, Metap1D knockdown reduced the expression of myogenic markers, including myogenin and myosin heavy chain, and was associated with impaired myogenic differentiation, accompanied by the formation of multinucleated myotubes with abnormal spherical morphology. These findings suggest that mitochondria-localized Metap1D is involved in the regulation of mitochondrial content and activity and is associated with the control of C2C12 myoblast proliferation and myogenic differentiation.

More importantly, RB1 functional status may also modulate sensitivity to additional therapeutic modalities, highlighting its broader relevance to the evolving SCLC treatment landscape. Integrating molecularly informed strategies accounting for RB1 proficiency and its transcriptional landscape will be pivotal to overcoming the long-standing therapeutic impasse in SCLC, offering a roadmap for the development of effective, precision-guided therapies.

Revisiting low penetrance retinoblastoma: an integrated clinical, genetic, and bioinformatic analysis. (PubMed, Hum Mol Genet)
In conclusion, LPRB shows a 50-64% penetrance rate, more likely to be paternally inherited, have unilateral presentation, and associated with hypomorphic RB1 PSVs in the terminal pRB regions. These findings support retitling 'low penetrance RB' to 'medium penetrance RB'.

S100A6 promotes liver metastasis by activating FGFR3 signaling in BAP1-deficient uveal melanoma. (PubMed, Oncogene)
Genetic or pharmacological targeting of S100A6-FGFR3 signaling effectively suppressed BAP1-deficient UM metastasis in preclinical models, highlighting the therapeutic potential of targeting this signaling pathway. Overall, our findings establish S100A6 as a critical mediator of hepatic metastasis in BAP1-deficient UM through FGFR3-dependent tumor microenvironment activation, revealing its therapeutic potential.

Chronic stress contributes to long-term isoflurane anesthesia-induced cognitive dysfunction via histone acetylation modulated by RbAp48-HDAC2 in male mice. (PubMed, J Anesth Transl Med)
Perioperative chronic stress exacerbates cognitive dysfunction after 6-h long-term isoflurane anesthesia. The activity of RbAp48/HDAC2-induced histone deacetylation modification plays a critical role in these negative effects on cognition.

miR-100-5p Enhances Cell Cycle-Mediated Chemoresistance by Modulating the CTDSPL/pRB/E2F1 Signaling Pathway in Oxaliplatin-Resistant Colorectal Cancer Cells. (PubMed, Oncol Res)
Inhibiting miR-100-5p and FOXP3 down-regulates miR-100-5p expression, while increased CTDSPL expression contributed to reduced cell proliferation and promoted cell apoptosis in LoVoOXR CRC cells. miR-100-5p plays an oncogenic role in inducing chemoresistance through modulation of the CTDSPL/retinoblastoma protein (pRB)/E2F transcription factor 1 (E2F1) axis in CRC cells.

Immunoglobulin G4-Related Disease Manifesting as Posterior Uveitis. (PubMed, J Vitreoretin Dis)
The patient responded well to prednisone and rituximab. IgG4-related disease may present with atypical posterior uveitis findings and mimic intraocular lymphoma. This entity should be considered in the differential diagnosis of posterior uveitis masquerade syndromes.
