Multiple programmed cell death patterns predict the prognosis and drug sensitivity in gastric cancer by Qiying Song, Shihe Liu, Di Wu, Aizhen Cai

“…Additionally, drug sensitivity analysis indicated that patients with a high PCDS may exhibit resistance to immunotherapy and standard adjuvant chemotherapy regimens; however, they may benefit from the FDA-approved drug Dasatinib.ConclusionOverall, we confirmed that the PCDS is a prognostic risk factor and a valuable predictor of immunotherapy response in GC patients, which provides new evidence for the potential application of GC.…”

Stem cell status and prognostic applications of cuproptosis-associated lncRNAs in acute myeloid leukemia by Zhuodong Chai, Zhongyue Yuan, Yifei Chen

“…Stem cell research has highlighted the crucial role of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) in regulating cellular differentiation and self-renewal processes, which are pivotal in AML pathogenesis and therapy resistance.MethodsThis study explores the relationship between cuproptosis-related lncRNAs and AML prognosis, providing novel insights into their impact on hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells.ResultsWe collected clinical information from 214 AML patients in our center and analyzed the association between granulocyte recovery after chemotherapy, cuproptosis, and prognosis. Additionally, we developed a prognostic model—the cuproptosis-associated long noncoding RNA prognostic model (CRLPM)—y analyzing data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). …”
