PTBP1 knockdown impairs autophagy flux and inhibits gastric cancer progression through TXNIP-mediated oxidative stress.

Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is a prevalent malignant tumor, and the RNA-binding protein polypyrimidine tract-binding protein 1 (PTBP1) has been identified as a crucial factor in various tumor types. Moreover, abnormal autophagy levels have been shown to significantly impact tumorigenesis and progression. Despite this, the precise regulatory mechanism of PTBP1 in autophagy regulation in GC remains poorly understood.

A novel protein FNDC3B-267aa encoded by circ0003692 inhibits gastric cancer metastasis via promoting proteasomal degradation of c-Myc.

Background: Gastric cancer (GC) ranks fifth in global cancer incidence and third in mortality rate among all cancer types. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been extensively demonstrated to regulate multiple malignant biological behaviors in GC. Emerging evidence suggests that several circRNAs derived from FNDC3B play pivotal roles in cancer.

RNA Binding Protein PTBP1 Promotes the Metastasis of Gastric Cancer by Stabilizing mRNA.

Gastric cancer (GC) is the most common type of malignant tumor within the gastrointestinal tract, and GC metastasis is associated with poor prognosis. Polypyrimidine tract binding protein 1 (PTBP1) is an RNA-binding protein implicated in various types of tumor development and metastasis. However, the role of PTBP1 in GC metastasis remains elusive.

Five monoterpenes from leaves of Rhododendron anthopogon.

A phytochemical investigation of the leaves of Rhododendron anthopogon revealed the presence of five known monoterpenes: ranhuadujuanine A (1), cannabiorcicyclolic acid (2), ranhuadujuanine B (3), ranhuadujuanine C (4) and ranhuadujuanine D (5). All compounds are firstly reported as natural products. The assignments of some 13C-signals of ranhuadujuanine A reported in the literature were revised on the basis of 2D-NMR spectra.
