Bioinformatics analysis of hedgehog interacting protein in colorectal cancer: a study based on GEO data and TCGA data.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most prevalent malignancies worldwide. Hedgehog Interacting Protein (HHIP) is evolutionarily conserved protein, which are important morphogens for a wide range of developmental processes,However, the specific role and mechanism of HHIP in CRC remains not fully understood. In this study, we first performed pan-cancer analysis for HHIP's expression via The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and The Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) data and found that HHIP might be a potential anti-oncogene for CRC.

Comprehensive genomics analysis of aging related gene signature to predict the prognosis and drug resistance of colon adenocarcinoma.

Colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) is a heterogeneous tumor and senescence is crucial in the occurrence of cancer. This study aimed to identify senescence-based subtypes and construct a prognostic signature to predict the prognosis and guide immunotherapy or chemotherapy decisions for COAD patients. Based on the single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data of 13 samples from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, we assessed cellular senescence characteristics.

Telomere is shortened in patients with irritable bowel syndrome in the Chinese population.

Background And Aim: Telomere shortening is an accepted indicator of aging. Many studies have investigated an association between leukocyte telomere length (LTL) and psychiatric disorders. Mental or psychological factors could be an important cause of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
