Clinical significance of upregulated Rho GTPase activating protein 12 causing resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major health challenge with high incidence and poor survival rates in China. Systemic therapies, particularly tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), are the first-line treatment for advanced HCC, but resistance is common. The Rho GTPase family member Rho GTPase activating protein 12 (ARHGAP12), which regulates cell adhesion and invasion, is a potential therapeutic target for overcoming TKI resistance in HCC.

A Comprehensive Analysis of LYAR in Colorectal Cancer: Prognostic Marker and Therapeutic Target.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major global health challenge with a need for new biomarkers and therapeutic targets. This work investigated the biological mechanisms and clinical value of Ly1 antibody reactive (LYAR) in CRC. We analyzed LYAR mRNA expression across multiple public databases, including genotype-tissue expression, gene expression omnibus, Oncomine, and the cancer genome atlas, alongside in-house immunohistochemical data to evaluate LYAR protein expression in CRC and non-CRC colorectal tissues.

Upregulation of hsa-miR-141-3p promotes uterine cervical carcinoma progression via targeting dual-specificity protein phosphatase 1.

We aimed to explore the aberrant expression status of hsa-miR-141-3p and dual-specificity protein phosphatase 1 (DUSP1) and their relative mechanisms in uterine cervical carcinoma (UCC).Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was conducted to detect the expression of hsa-miR-141-3p. Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining was performed to examine the expression of DUSP1 in UCC.

Increased LACTB2 Expression Regulates Oxidative Phosphorylation and mTORC1 Signaling of Colorectal Cancer.

This study aimed to investigate the mechanisms of LACTB2 in colorectal cancer (CRC). Microarrays and sequencing data of CRC were acquired from UCSC Xena, GTEx, Gene Expression Omnibus, and TCGA. Pooled analysis of the mRNA expression of LACTB2 in CRC was performed using Stata software.

AZGP1 Up-Regulation is a Potential Target for Andrographolide Reversing Radioresistance of Colorectal Cancer.

Background: Radiation resistance is a challenge that limits the therapeutic benefit of colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment, but the mechanism underlying CRC radiation resistance remains unclear. Andrographolide shows a broad-spectrum anti-tumor effect in various malignancies, including CRC, its effect and how it functions in CRC initiation, and radiation have not been established. This study aimed to explore the mechanism of CRC radiation resistance and the potential mechanisms of andrographolide on CRC radiation.

Upregulation of the transmembrane protease serine 3 mRNA level in radioresistant colorectal cancer tissues.

To investigate the clinical role of transmembrane protease serine 3 (TMPRSS3) in radioresistance and prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC). Standardized mean difference (SMD) and summary area under the curve (AUC) of were calculated by combining all available high-throughput data globally. The prognostic significance of was determined by Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses.

Active Enhancer Assessment by H3K27ac ChIP-seq Reveals Claudin-1 as a Biomarker for Radiation Resistance in Colorectal Cancer.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) represents the third most common malignant tumor in the worldwide. Radiotherapy is the common therapeutic treatment for CRC, but radiation resistance is often encountered. ChIP-seq of Histone H3K27 acetylation (H3K27ac) has revealed enhancers that play an important role in CRC.

Clinical significance and molecular mechanism of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 in hepatocellular carcinoma tissues.

During the pandemic of the coronavirus disease 2019, there exist quite a few studies on angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 () and SARS-CoV-2 infection, while little is known about in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The detailed mechanism among and HCC still remains unclear, which needs to be further investigated. In the current study with a total of 6,926 samples, expression was downregulated in HCC compared with non-HCC samples (standardized mean difference = -0.
