Transcriptome sequencing analysis reveals miR-30c-5p promotes ferroptosis in cervical cancer and inhibits growth and metastasis of cervical cancer xenografts by targeting the METTL3/KRAS axis.

Cervical cancer is the most common malignant tumor in the female reproductive system worldwide, and its molecular mechanisms remain complex and poorly understood. Various techniques, including transcriptome sequencing, RT-qPCR, ELISA, immunofluorescence, Western blot, CCK-8 assay, Transwell assay, and xenograft models, were employed to investigate gene/miRNA expression, cellular proliferation, migration, and the interactions between miR-30c-5p, METTL3, and KRAS. Our transcriptome sequencing results demonstrated a significant downregulation of miR-30c-5p in cervical cancer cells.

Effect of Exosomal lncRNA MALAT1/miR-370-3p/STAT3 Positive Feedback Loop on PI3K/Akt Pathway Mediating Cisplatin Resistance in Cervical Cancer Cells.

Background: Exosomes can encapsulate lncRNA to mediate intercellular communication in cancer progression. Our study devoted to research the effect that long noncoding RNA Metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (lncRNA MALAT1) influence on cervical cancer (CC).

Methods: MALAT1 and miR-370-3p levels in CC was assessed using qRT-PCR.

FOXD3 confers chemo-sensitivity in ovarian cancer through a miR-335/DAAM1/myosin II axis-dependent mechanism.

Background: Chemotherapy is among the most common treatment methods for ovarian cancer (OC). However, chemoresistance limits the effectiveness of chemotherapy and leads to treatment failure. We herein investigate the biological effect of forkhead box D3 (FOXD3) in the chemoresistance of OC cells.

Atherosclerosis: From the Disruption of Mitochondrial Membrane Potential to the Potential Interventional Strategies.

Atherosclerosis (AS) is the major factor of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and is characterized by a progressive and chronic inflammatory process in the arterial wall. Recent studies have shown that disruption of the mitochondrial membrane potential (deltapsi (m)) directly affects the electron transport chain (ETC), which in turn leads to oxidative stress, and furthermore, its alteration leads to apoptosis and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, thereby promoting the development of AS. Here, this review describes how deltapsi (m) contributes to the development of AS by mediating oxidative stress, apoptosis, and NLRP3 inflammasome activation, and potential AS intervention strategies by targeting oxidative stress, apoptosis, and NLRP3 inflammasome activation induced by deltapsi (m).

Effect of MiR-375 Regulates YAP1 on the Invasion, Apoptosis, and Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition of Cervical Cancer HeLa Cells.

Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) is an important signaling pathway activator molecule. Studies have shown that it is involved in the occurrence of malignant tumors. This study identified a microRNA (miR/miRNA) targeting the 3' untranslated region (3″ utr) of the YAP1 gene and evaluated its biological impact on human cervical cancer cells and related molecular mechanisms.

Factors Affecting the Re-Endothelialization of Endothelial Progenitor Cell.

The vascular endothelium, which plays an essential role in maintaining the normal shape and function of blood vessels, is a natural barrier between the circulating blood and the vascular wall tissue. The endothelial damage can cause vascular lesions, such as atherosclerosis and restenosis. After the vascular intima injury, the body starts the endothelial repair (re-endothelialization) to inhibit the neointimal hyperplasia.

Flexible fabric gas sensors based on reduced graphene-polyaniline nanocomposite for highly sensitive NHdetection at room temperature.

A flexible fabric gas sensor for the detection of sub-ppm-level NHis reported in this paper. The reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-polyaniline (PANI) nanocomposite was successfully coated on cotton thread via anpolymerization technique. The morphology, microstructure and composition were analyzed by field-emission scanning electron microscope, x-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy.

Silencing of hsa_circ_0009035 Suppresses Cervical Cancer Progression and Enhances Radiosensitivity through MicroRNA 889-3p-Dependent Regulation of HOXB7.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs), a novel type of endogenous noncoding RNAs, have been identified as critical regulators in human carcinogenesis. Here, we investigated the precise actions of hsa_circ_0009035 in the progression and radioresistance of cervical cancer (CC). The levels of hsa_circ_0009035, microRNA 889-3p (miR-889-3p), and homeobox B7 (HOXB7) were detected by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) or Western blotting.

Human p21-activated kinase 5 (PAK5) expression and potential mechanisms in relevant cancers: Basic and clinical perspectives for molecular cancer therapeutics.

An oncogenic role, p21-activated kinase 5 (PAK5), has proven as a significant mediator for many cellular progression, which is expressed highly in human organs such as lung, liver, kidney, blood vessels endothelial cells and inflammatory cells. PAK5 was primitively detected in the cerebrum and accelerated the filopodia formation in neurocytes. It can reverse the effect of Rho and adjust its activity to mediate maintenance and development of nerve axon by binding with Cdc42-GTP.

Multi-system reproductive metabolic disorder: significance for the pathogenesis and therapy of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a multisystem disease, is a major reason for female infertility around the world. It is no longer considered simply as a disease of ovary. Now researchers growing awareness of the multisystem features of this disease.

may be a new cellular target biomarker as a hypermethylation gene in human ovarian cancer.

Background: is aberrantly regulated in several tumors, but its underlying mechanisms in ovarian cancer (OC) remains largely unknown. The present study aimed to explore the role and associated mechanisms of in OC.

Methods: Microarray data from GEO was used to analyze differential CpG sites and differentially methylated regions (DMR) in tumor tissues and Illumina 450 genome-wide methylation data was employed.

[Cognitive profile of children with newly onset benign epilepsy with centro-temporal spikes before treatment:a study of computerized cognitive testing in epilepsy].

Objective: Benign epilepsy with centro-temporal spikes (BECTs) is a common idiopathic partial epileptic syndrome in childhood, which often affect the pre-school and school-age children and a considerable proportion have comorbidity including lower academic achievement and cognitive impairment. Few studies involved the psychocognitive assessment in such a drug-treatable epileptic syndrome especially in the newly diagnosed and medications-naive group. This study aimed to investigate the cognitive characteristics of children with newly onset BECTs before treatment.
