AbstractPhosphoinositide-3-kinase-γ (PI3Kγ) is implicated as a target to repolarize tumour-associated macrophages and promote antitumour immune responses in solid cancers1,2,3,4. However, cancer cell-intrinsic roles of PI3Kγ are unclear. Here, by integrating unbiased genome-wide CRISPR interference screening with functional analyses across acute leukaemias, we define a selective dependency on the PI3Kγ complex in a high-risk subset that includes myeloid, lymphoid and dendritic lineages.

AbstractDysregulated expression of long-stranded non-coding RNAs is strongly associated with carcinogenesis. However, the precise mechanisms underlying their involvement in ovarian cancer pathogenesis remain poorly defined. Here, we found that lncRNA RUNX1-IT1 plays a crucial role in the progression of ovarian cancer. Patients with high RUNX1-IT1 expression had shorter survival and poorer outcomes.
