Utilizing sc-linker to integrate single-cell RNA sequencing and human genetics to identify cell types and driver genes associated with non-small cell lung cancer by Yangfan Zhou, Liang Zhao, Meimei Cai, Doudou Luo, Yizhen Pang, Jianhao Chen, Qicong Luo, Qin Lin

“…We found that the Ras-related protein Rab-31 (RAB31) was significantly overexpressed in tumor-associated fibroblasts compared to that in normal fibroblasts and was closely associated with poor prognosis in patients with NSCLC. Conclusions By integrating scRNA-seq, epigenomic, and GWAS datasets, we found that ACT2 and CAFs have specific disease heritability in lung cancer and identified the driver gene RAB31 as a potential therapeutic target.…”

Targeting of the HER2/HER3 signaling axis overcomes ligand‐mediated resistance to trastuzumab in HER2‐positive breast cancer by Satomi Watanabe, Kimio Yonesaka, Junko Tanizaki, Yoshikane Nonagase, Naoki Takegawa, Koji Haratani, Hisato Kawakami, Hidetoshi Hayashi, Masayuki Takeda, Junji Tsurutani, Kazuhiko Nakagawa

“…Abstract HER2‐targeted therapy, especially the anti‐HER2 antibody trastuzumab, is standard for HER2‐positive breast cancer; however, its efficacy is limited in a subpopulation of patients. HER3 ligand (heregulin)‐dependent HER2‐HER3 interactions play a critical role in the evasion of apoptosis and are therefore a target for oncotherapy to treat HER2‐positive breast cancer. …”
