Lecture summary

As an E3 ubiquitin ligase, HECTD3 knockout mice have accelerated tumor growth and increased M2 differentiation of macrophages. Mechanistic studies have found that HECTD3 promotes its stability and activation by modifying STAT1 by ubiquitination, promoting M1 differentiation of macrophages and inhibiting the growth of breast cancer. Activating HECTD3 activity in macrophages inhibits breast cancer.

Protein methylation modification is one of the ubiquitous post-translational modifications in cells, which is precisely regulated by protein methyltransferases and demethylases. Disorders in the regulation of protein methylation modifications have been proven to be closely related to the occurrence and development of cancer. The speaker focused on the functions and molecular mechanisms of protein methyltransferases, demethylases and methylation modifications in cancer, as well as their application in cancer treatment.

MEIS1 acts as a molecular decoy that competitively acquires ubiquitin transfer to protect p53, stabilizing p53 by disrupting the interaction between MDM2 and p53 or inhibiting its E3 ligase activity. It is based on a MEIS1-derived peptide and can inhibit cell proliferation and tumor growth by enhancing the stability of MEIS1 and p53. Provide new insights into p53-dependent tumor suppressive therapeutic strategies in colorectal cancer.

Lecture Topic 4: Integrating single cell functional multi-omics to discover new targets for diagnosis and treatment in the tumor microenvironment

Resistance after drug treatment is one of the most serious clinical challenges in solid tumors and one of the key scientific issues in the field. The heterogeneity of the tumor microenvironment is critical for the development of treatment resistance. The heterogeneity of the microenvironment includes very complex mechanisms such as subclonal heterogeneity of cancer cells in different pathological areas and their remodeling of the microenvironment, as well as interactions between different cell subpopulations. How to combine in vivo and in vitro functional studies to elucidate "the key interactions between key cell subpopulations in the microenvironment that lead to the molecular mechanism of drug resistance" is a difficult and key scientific issue in this field. In-depth research on this issue is expected to provide new solutions for breakthroughs in precision tumor treatment.
