Background: Solasonine has been demonstrated to exert an inhibitory effect on bladder cancer (BC), but the potential mechanisms remain unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore the association between microRNAs (miRNAs)-mediated regulation and the anti-tumor activities of solasonine in BC.

Methods: MiRNA sequencing was performed to identify the differentially expressed microRNAs (DE-miRNAs) associated with solasonine in BC cells.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most aggressive primary nervous system brain tumor. There is still a lack of effective methods to control its progression and recurrence in clinical treatment. It is clinically found that Xiaoliu Decoction (XLD) has the effect of treating brain tumors and preventing tumor recurrence.

Article Synopsis
  • Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent condition in older adults, but the molecular mechanisms behind its development and progression are still unclear; this study explored these mechanisms using a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network approach.
  • Researchers analyzed various mRNA, miRNA, and lncRNA datasets to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and constructed a ceRNA network to explore their biological functions through enrichment analyses, as well as assessing immune cell presence in OA versus healthy samples.
  • Key findings revealed significant players like hsa-mir-425-3p and dual specificity phosphatase 1 in the ceRNA network, highlighting their roles in important biological processes linked to immune responses and OA progression, suggesting potential targets for further

Article Synopsis
  • Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are a major cause of disability in diabetic patients, and this study aimed to uncover the gene changes associated with DFU.
  • Researchers analyzed gene expression data from different DFU patients, identifying 238 upregulated and 207 downregulated genes in ulcer patients compared to those without ulcers, along with 74 upregulated and 28 downregulated genes in healed versus unhealed samples.
  • Functional enrichment analysis revealed that key biological processes involved include immune responses and cell migration, with particular focus on interleukin (IL)-1B's elevated expression in ulcer patients, highlighting the significance of immune cell interactions in DFU healing.

Background: Extensive research has shown the role of pyroptosis in the occurrence, progression, and prognosis of breast cancer. The study sought to screen important pyroptosis-related genes and their role in the prognosis of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients with brain metastasis (BM).

Methods: The Gene Expression Omnibus database was used to obtain transcriptome data from primary TNBC and from TNBC BM patients.

Background: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a common autoimmune disease that affects all organs. Recently, several studies have shown that pyroptosis playsa significant process in the occurrence and progression of SLE. However, no study has investigated the association between pyroptosis genes and SLE.

Background: The tumor microenvironment (TME) has an essential role in tumorigenesis, progression, and therapeutic response in many cancers. Currently, the role of TME in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is unclear. This study investigated the correlation between immune-related genes and prognosis in AML patients.

Background: The formation of portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) is closely related to the prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the mechanisms by which PVTTs form and the biomarkers involved are still little understood.

Methods: The Genome Expression Omnibus (GEO) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) databases were used to obtain transcriptome data from normal tissue, HCC tissue, primary tumors (PTs) of HCC, and paired PVTT tissue.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explores the role of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), particularly its impact on tumor progression and immune cell infiltration.
  • It analyzes HCC samples from the TCGA and GEO databases, identifying three distinct m6A molecular subtypes linked to different immune cell profiles and constructing an m6Ascore to predict patient prognosis and immunotherapy responses.
  • Findings reveal genetic alterations in m6A regulatory genes, with the m6Ascore correlating with factors like tumor mutation burden and CTLA-4 expression, suggesting a unique m6A modification pattern that could guide treatment strategies for HCC.

Background: The immune microenvironment plays an essential role in osteosarcoma (OSs); however, differences in immune-related long non-coding ribonucleic acids (irlncRNAs) in children with localized OSs and metastatic OSs have not yet been investigated.

Methods: The clinical data and the transcriptome of OSs were obtained from the Therapeutically Applicable Research to Generate Effective Treatments (TARGET) database, and the immune-related genes were derived from the imported dataset. The correlations between immune-related genes and lncRNAs were examined.

Background: The immune microenvironment is a critical regulator of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) progression. However, the underlying mechanisms the regulatory role of immune-related long non-coding RNAs (irlncRNAs) in the ccRCC tumor microenvironment (TME) are still obscure. Herein, we investigated prognostics role of irlncRNAs for ccRCC.
