The integrative multi-omics approach identifies the novel competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network in colorectal cancer.

Circular RNAs (circRNA) are known to function as competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) in various cancers by regulating microRNAs (miRNA). However, in colorectal cancer (CRC), the precise pathological role of circ000240/miRNA/mRNA remains indeterminate. The expression level of hsa_circ_000240 was evaluated using qRT-PCR in matching pairs of CRC tumor and adjacent normal tissue samples in our laboratory.

Functional characterization and development of novel human kinase insert domain receptor chimeric antigen receptor T-cells for immunotherapy of non-small cell lung cancer.

CAR-T cell therapy, in which T cells are transfected or transduced with a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), is a transformative type of cancer immunotherapy. Despite outstanding success in hematological malignancies, their efficacy against solid tumors has been limited. Here, we aimed to explore whether T cells modified by a CAR targeting the vascular endothelial growth factor 2 receptor/ kinase insert domain receptor (KDR) could destroy tumors and their vasculature.

Integrative and in-vitro analysis reveal hsa_circ_001787 can act as a diagnostic biomarker for colorectal cancer.

Background: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a new kind of non-coding RNA(ncRNA). Throughout research, we see an increase in the number of studies demonstrating that circRNAs occupy a pivotal role in the growth and advancement of human tumors. Nevertheless, hsa_circ_001787's role in the evolution of colorectal cancer (CRC) remains unclear.

Components from spider venom activate macrophages against glioblastoma cells: new potential adjuvants for anticancer immunotherapy.

Immunomodulation has been considered an important approach in the treatment of malignant tumours. However, the modulation of innate immune cells remains an underexplored tool. Studies from our group demonstrated that the Phoneutria nigriventer spider venom (PnV) administration increased the infiltration of macrophage in glioblastoma, in addition to decreasing the tumour size in a preclinical model.

A New World of Biomarkers and Therapeutics for Female Reproductive System and Breast Cancers: Circular RNAs.

As one of the most recently (re)discovered types of non-coding RNAs (ncRNA), circular RNAs (circRNAs) differentiate from other ncRNAs by a specific biogenesis, high stability, and distinct functions. The biogenesis of circRNAs can be categorized into three mechanisms that permit the back-splicing reaction: exon-skipping, pairing of neighboring introns, and dimerization of RNA-binding proteins. Regarding their stability, circRNAs have no free ends, specific to linear RNA molecules, prompting a longer half-life and resistance to exonuclease-mediated activity by RNase R, bypassing the common RNA turnover process.

In silico Analysis, Molecular Docking, Molecular Dynamic, Cloning, Expression and Purification of Chimeric Protein in Colorectal Cancer Treatment.

Introduction: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a type of cancer in humans that leads to high mortality and morbidity. CD166 and CD326 are immunoglobulins that are associated with cell migration. These molecules are included in tumorigenesis of CRC and serve a great marker of CRC stem cells.

Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) in cancer therapy: a nano-based approach.

Cancer is one of the most complex diseases that has resulted in multiple genetic disorders and cellular abnormalities. Globally, cancer is the most common health concern disease that is affecting human beings. Great efforts have been made over the past decades in biology with the aim of searching novel and more efficient tools in therapy.
