Increased SOAT2 expression in aged regulatory T cells is associated with altered cholesterol metabolism and reduced anti-tumor immunity by Mingjiong Zhang, Jiahua Cui, Haoyan Chen, Yifan Cheng, Qiaoyu Chen, Feng Zong, Xiao Lu, Lang Qin, Yu Han, Xingwang Kuai, Yuxing Zhang, Minjie Chu, Shuangshuang Wu, Jianqing Wu

“…Mechanically, ex vivo human and mouse Treg cell data and in vivo mouse tumor models suggest that SOAT2 overexpression in Treg cells promotes cholesterol metabolism by activating the SREBP2-HMGCR-GGPP pathway, leading to enhanced Treg suppresser functions but reduced CD8+ T cell proliferation, migration, homeostasis and anti-tumor immunity. …”

Clinicopathologic Significance of HIF-1α, CXCR4, and VEGF Expression in Colon Cancer by Yugang Wu, Min Jin, Huanbai Xu, Zhang Shimin, Songbing He, Liang Wang, Yanyun Zhang

“…We investigated the clinicopathologic significance of HIF-1, CXCR4, and VEGF expression using immumohistochemistry in human colon cancer. HIF-1, CXCR4, and VEGF high expression levels were correlated positively with TNM stage, lymph node involvement, and distant metastasis Furthermore, we found that combined high expression of any two of the three molecules (P=.028 for HIF-1/CXCR4, P=.007 for HIF-1/VEGF, and P=.004 for CXCR4/VEGF) had stronger correlation with lymph node metastasis than did each alone. …”
