Reduced Proliferative Capacity and Defense against Staphylococcus aureus in Human Nasal Mucosal Epithelium Lacking ZNF365.

Introduction: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a common chronic inflammatory disease of the nose characterized by barrier disruption and environmental susceptibility, and the deletion of ZNF365 may be a factor inducing these manifestations. However, there is no study on the mechanism of action between CRSwNP and ZNF365. Therefore, this study focuses on the effect of the zinc finger protein ZNF365 on the proliferation of nasal mucosal epithelial cells and their defense against Staphylococcus aureus (S.

Bioinformatics analysis of CUL2/4A/9 and its function in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Introduction: Several previous studies have shown that differential expression of cullin (CUL) family proteins may be involved in mediation of the signal transduction pathways associated with cancer. However, the function of CULs is still unclear in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).

Material And Methods: We used The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, cBioPortal, Metascape, STRING, Cytoscape, Tumor Immune Estimation Resource (TIMER), Kaplan-Meier plotter, and Tumor Immune System Interaction Database (TISIDB) to access the expression of CULs and the possible correlation with the tumourigenesis, development, prognosis, immunity, and transcriptional level of CULs in HNSCC.

Identification of SLC2A3 as a prognostic indicator correlated with the NF-κB/EMT axis and immune response in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

SLC2A3 is an important member of the glucose transporter superfamily. It has been recently suggested that upregulation of SLC2A3 is associated with poor survival and acts as a prognostic marker in a variety of tumors. Unfortunately, the prognostic role of SLC2A3 in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC) is less known.
