The progress of drug targets.

Tuberculosis (TB) has been troubling humans for hundreds of years, is a highly infectious disease caused by (Mtb) infection, Mtb can infect almost all organs of the body and is one of the deadly infectious diseases in the world. At present, the first-line treatment regimen has a long treatment cycle and is prone to multiple drug resistance. Anti-tuberculosis drugs and latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) resistance are increasing year by year, and new targets and new bioactive compounds are urgently needed to treat this disease.

Retrospective analysis of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2), Ki67 changes and their clinical significance between primary breast cancer and metastatic tumors.

Objective: To explore the relationship between receptor heterogeneity and clinicopathological characteristics in 166 patients with invasive breast cancer during metastasis.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 166 patients diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer through biopsy, who were admitted to our hospital from January 2018 to December 2022. Statistical analysis was employed to assess the heterogeneity of receptors in both primary and metastatic lesions, including estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2), Ki67, as well as their association with clinicopathological features such as tumor size, lymph node metastasis, treatment regimen, and disease-free survival.

NLRP3 Inflammasome: An Emerging Therapeutic Target for Alzheimer's Disease.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is currently the most prevalent neurological disease, and no effective and practical treatments and therapies exist. The nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-, leucine-rich repeat-, and pyrin domain- containing receptor 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is vital in the human innate immune response. However, when the NLRP3 inflammasome is overactivated by persistent stimulation, several immune-related diseases, including AD, atherosclerosis, and obesity, result.

[ZFP36L1 inhibits proliferation, invasion and migration of human breast cancer cells by inducing epithelial-mesenchymal transition through STAT3/p-STAT3 signaling pathway].

Objective To explore the role and mechanism of zinc finger protein 36 like 1 (ZFP36L1) in breast cancer. Methods Sixty breast cancer patients were enrolled in the study. Immunohistochemistry was performed to evaluate the ZFP36L1 expression.

ZFP36L1 Promotes Gastric Cancer Progression Regulating JNK and p38 MAPK Signaling Pathways.

Background: The RNA-binding protein Zinc Finger Protein 36 like 1(ZFP36L1) plays an important role in regulating the AU-rich elements (AREs) in the 3' untranslated region (3' UTR) of mRNAs, indicating a potential link between its expression and cancers. However, the role and mechanism of ZFP36L1 in gastric cancer (GC) are unclear.

Objectives: This study aimed to explore the role and mechanism of ZFP36L1 in gastric cancer.

The role of leucine-rich alpha-2-glycoprotein-1 in proliferation, migration, and invasion of tumors.

Background: Leucine-rich alpha-2-glycoprotein-1 (LRG1) is widely involved in proliferation, migration, and invasion of various tumor cells. Recent studies have evaluated the potential of LRG1 as both an early tumor and a prognostic biomarker.

Method: The relevant literature from PubMed is reviewed in this article.
