Biomarkers for immunotherapy in esophageal cancer

Xuelian Wang, Ping Wang, Xiang Huang, Yanan Han, Pei Zhang

Summary: The development of immunotherapy has improved outcomes for esophageal cancer patients, especially with the use of PD-1/PD-L1 immune-checkpoint inhibitors. However, not all patients benefit from these agents. Various biomarkers have been introduced to predict the response to immunotherapy, but their effects are controversial and challenges remain. This review aims to summarize current clinical evidence and provide a comprehensive understanding of reported biomarkers, as well as discuss their limitations and propose caution in their use.

Targeting the Microenvironment in Esophageal Cancer

Lei Wang, Huiqiong Han, Zehua Wang, Litong Shi, Mei Yang, Yanru Qin

Summary: Esophageal cancer is a common and deadly type of cancer, with current treatment options including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. However, the limited efficacy of conventional treatments has led to the exploration of new therapeutic targets, with the tumor microenvironment (TME) emerging as an important focus. Microenvironment-targeting therapies such as immunotherapy and antiangiogenic therapy have shown promise in prolonging survival and improving outcomes for EC patients. Many new drugs and therapies targeting the microenvironment may become future treatment options.

Spatial transcriptomics analysis of esophageal squamous precancerous lesions and their progression to esophageal cancer

Xuejiao Liu, Simin Zhao, Keke Wang, Liting Zhou, Ming Jiang, Yunfeng Gao, Ran Yang, Shiwen Yan, Wen Zhang, Bingbing Lu, Feifei Liu, Ran Zhao, Wenting Liu, Zihan Zhang, Kangdong Liu, Xiang Li, Zigang Dong

Summary: Spatial transcriptomics analysis revealed expression changes in TAGLN2 and CRNN during the progression from esophageal squamous precancerous lesions (ESPL) to esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). TAGLN2 expression significantly increased, while CRNN expression decreased along with ESCC progression. These findings suggest that TAGLN2 and CRNN can serve as candidate indicators for predicting the risk of ESCC at the ESPL stage.

Salivary nitrate/nitrite and acetaldehyde in humans: potential combination effects in the upper gastrointestinal tract and possible consequences for the in vivo formation of N-nitroso compounds-a hypothesis

Gerhard Eisenbrand, Matthias Baum, Alexander T. Cartus, Patrick Diel, Karl-Heinz Engel, Barbara Engeli, Bernd Epe, Tilman Grune, Sabine Guth, Dirk Haller, Volker Heinz, Michael Hellwig, Jan G. Hengstler, Thomas Henle, Hans-Ulrich Humpf, Henry Jaeger, Hans-Georg Joost, Sabine Kulling, Dirk W. Lachenmeier, Alfonso Lampen, Marcel Leist, Angela Mally, Doris Marko, Ute Noethlings, Elke Roehrdanz, Angelika Roth, Joachim Spranger, Richard Stadler, Stefan Vieths, Wim Waetjen, Pablo Steinberg

Summary: After the ingestion of nitrate/nitrite and acetaldehyde/ethanol in diet, sustained exposure to nitrite and acetaldehyde may result in combination effects. These effects could affect the upper gastrointestinal tract locally and have systemic effects on the formation of N-nitroso compounds (NOC). Salivary concentrations of nitrate, nitrite, and acetaldehyde increase after ingestion, absorption, and distribution, reflecting their plasma kinetics and secretion through the salivary glands and microbial/enzymatic metabolism in the oral cavity. Combination effects in the oral cavity and upper digestive tract have not been extensively studied. This Guest Editorial reviews the evidence on exposure levels and biokinetics of nitrate/nitrite/NOx, NOC, and acetaldehyde, and identifies knowledge gaps on combination effects. Further research is needed to address these unresolved issues.
