A MXI1-NUTM1 fusion protein with MYC-like activity suggests a novel oncogenic mechanism in a subset ofNUTM1-rearranged tumors

Christopher R. McEvoy, Holly Holliday, Niko Thio, Catherine Mitchell, David Y. Choong, Bhargavi Yellapu, Hui San Leong, Huiling Xu, Stephen Lade, Judy Browning, Elena A. Takano, David J. Byrne, Anthony J. Gill, Cuong P. Duong, Jason Li, Andrew P. Fellowes, Stephen B. Fox, Alexander Swarbrick, Owen W. J. Prall

Summary: This study describes a small round cell malignancy from the gastro-esophageal junction with a novel fusion between NUTM1 and MAD family member MXI1. In contrast to typical NUT carcinomas, this MXI1-NUTM1 tumor did not exhibit squamous differentiation and showed MYC-like characteristics without MYC expression. The findings suggest that MAD family members can be transformed into MYC-like mimics through fusion with NUTM1, indicating potential implications for diagnostic classification and therapeutic strategies for some NRN subtypes.

The androgen receptor is a tumor suppressor in estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer

Theresa E. Hickey, Luke A. Selth, Kee Ming Chia, Geraldine Laven-Law, Heloisa H. Milioli, Daniel Roden, Shalini Jindal, Mun Hui, Jessica Finlay-Schultz, Esmaeil Ebrahimie, Stephen N. Birrell, Suzan Stelloo, Richard Iggo, Sarah Alexandrou, C. Elizabeth Caldon, Tarek M. Abdel-Fatah, Ian O. Ellis, Wilbert Zwart, Carlo Palmieri, Carol A. Sartorius, Alex Swarbrick, Elgene Lim, Jason S. Carroll, Wayne D. Tilley

Summary: Studies have shown that androgen receptor (AR) plays a tumor suppressor role in estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer, with AR activation helping to suppress cell cycle genes and promote the expression of tumor suppressor genes, enhancing therapeutic responses.

Inhibitor of Differentiation 4 (ID4) represses mammary myoepithelial differentiation via inhibition of HEB

Holly Holliday, Daniel Roden, Simon Junankar, Sunny Z. Wu, Laura A. Baker, Christoph Krisp, Chia-Ling Chan, Andrea McFarland, Joanna N. Skhinas, Thomas R. Cox, Bhupinder Pal, Nicholas D. Huntington, Christopher J. Ormandy, Jason S. Carroll, Jane Visvader, Mark P. Molloy, Alexander Swarbrick

Summary: ID4 functions as a repressor of myoepithelial differentiation in mammary basal cells by regulating gene expression, antagonizing HEB transcriptional activity, and promoting appropriate tissue morphogenesis. During pregnancy, downregulation of ID4 modulates genes regulated by HEB, promoting specialization of basal cells into myoepithelial cells.

Summary: This study integrated a large number of mononuclear phagocytes from 13 tissues to generate a MNP single-cell RNA compendium, revealing conserved gene signatures and specialized cell subsets across multiple tissues. Specific macrophage populations were found to be expanded in cancer and inflammation, with tumor-associated macrophage populations present in all neoplastic tissues.

Single-cell advances in stromal-leukocyte interactions in cancer

Sunny Z. Wu, Alexander Swarbrick

Summary: Recent advancements in single-cell technologies have driven rapid development in understanding the biology of mesenchymal stromal cells in cancer, revealing new predictors of drug response and drug targets, as well as distinct subclasses of cancer-associated fibroblasts in different types of cancer. Additionally, single-cell analysis has uncovered abundant information about perivascular cells, shedding light on the heterogeneity of mesenchymal cells in tumors.

Summary: This study presents a comprehensive transcriptional atlas of the cellular architecture of breast cancer, identifying recurrent neoplastic cell heterogeneity and new immune cell populations associated with clinical outcomes. A multi-omic atlas integrates single-cell RNA sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and immunophenotyping to stratify breast cancer into nine ecotypes with unique cellular compositions and clinical outcomes.
