Research progress of SPP1 in cancer regulation: Tumorigenesis, metastasis, tumor microenvironment, immunity and therapeutic targets (Review)
Secreted phosphoprotein 1 (SPP1, also known as osteopontin, OPN) is a multifunctional matricellular glycoprotein that is aberrantly overexpressed in nearly all major human malignancies. It functions as a central signaling hub that drives...

Resistance to covalent Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors in diffuse large B‑cell lymphoma: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic implications (Review)
B‑cell receptor (BCR) signaling is essential for the survival and proliferation of normal B cells, and contributes substantially to the pathogenesis of diffuse large B‑cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK), a key downstre...

Comprehensive landscape and future perspectives of PIWI‑interacting RNAs in cancer (Review)
P‑element induced wimpy testis (PIWI)‑interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are small non‑coding RNAs with a length of ~24‑32 nucleotides that specifically bind members of the PIWI protein family. Initially identified in germ cells, piRNAs have sinc...

Nucleocytoplasmic transport in gynaecological cancer: From mechanisms to therapeutic potential (Review)
Proper localization of proteins and RNAs in a cell is crucial for physiological function and cellular homeostasis, while disruption of the nucleocytoplasmic transport machinery leads to carcinogenesis. In gynaecological (endometrial, cer...

Regulatory T cells in lung adenocarcinoma: Mechanisms of immune escape, prognostic significance and therapeutic opportunities (Review)
Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) represents the most prevalent type of lung cancer, accounting for 35‑40% of all lung cancer cases. Regulatory T cells (Tregs), a CD4+ T cell subtype with immunosuppressive functions, play a pivotal role in main...
