Tumor microbiome: roles in tumor initiation, progression, and therapy by Shengxin Zhang, Jing Huang, Zedong Jiang, Huan Tong, Xuelei Ma, Yang Liu

“…Abstract Over the past few years, the tumor microbiome is increasingly recognized for its multifaceted involvement in cancer initiation, progression, and metastasis. With the application of 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (16S rRNA) sequencing, the intratumoral microbiome, also referred to as tumor-intrinsic or tumor-resident microbiome, has also been found to play a significant role in the tumor microenvironment (TME). …”

The role of lipids and lipids lowering drugs in human papillomavirus (HPV) and HPV-associated cancers by Ehsan Shabani, Aida Hasanzadi, Omer Qutaiba B. Allela, Radhwan Abdul Kareem, Riyad E. Abed, Ali M. Ali Al-Nuaimi, Zainab H. Athab, Shiva Khodarahmi

“…One of the most noticeable metabolic abnormalities in cancer is lipid metabolism reprogramming, in which cancer cells dysregulate lipid metabolism to obtain sufficient energy, building blocks for cell membranes, and signaling molecules necessary for invasion, metastasis, proliferation, and survival. Moreover, HPV proteins' stimulation of lipid production in infected cells will probably have a significant effect on oncogenesis. …”

The opposite association of HRAS and KRAS mutations with clinical variables of bladder cancer by M. P. Smal, A. I. Rolevich, T. N. Nabebina, S. A. Krasny, R. I. Goncharova

“…However, when analyzed separately, HRAS and KRAS mutations were for the first time shown to be associated with the opposite clinical parameters of bladder cancer: HRAS mutations were significantly associated with low-stage low-grade papillary tumors of a small size (р < 0.05), whereas KRAS mutations were associated with non-papillary urothelial carcinomas and the presence of metastasis (р < 0.05). Analysis of the prognostic value of molecular alterations revealed an association of KRAS mutations with decreased cancer-specific survival in both the whole group of patients and the subgroup with non-muscle invasive disease. …”

Chronic Inflammation as a Link between Periodontitis and Carcinogenesis by Anilei Hoare, Cristopher Soto, Victoria Rojas-Celis, Denisse Bravo

“…Among them, the activation of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and antiapoptotic pathways (such as the PI3K/Akt, JAK/STAT, and MAPK pathways), the reduction of proapoptotic protein expression, the increase in cell migration and invasion, and the enhancement in metastasis are addressed. Considering that periodontitis is a polymicrobial disease, it is likely that mixed species promote carcinogenesis both in the oral cavity and in extra oral tissues and probably—as observed in periodontitis—synergistic and/or antagonistic interactions occur between microbes in the community. …”
