Objective: Cervical cancer is a common malignancy among women, and radiotherapy remains a primary treatment modality across all disease stages. However, resistance to radiotherapy frequently results in treatment failure, highlighting the need to identify novel therapeutic targets to improve clinical outcomes.

Methods: The expression of molecule interacting with CasL-2 (MICAL2) was confirmed in cervical cancer tissues and cell lines through western blotting (WB) and immunohistochemistry (IHC).

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) plays a critical role in promoting tumor migration, invasion, and metastasis, partly by upregulating integrins. The molecular mechanisms behind how HGF facilitates integrin-mediated tumorigenesis are not fully understood. In this study, we demonstrate that the ubiquitin-specific peptidase 22 (USP22) is essential for HGF-induced melanoma metastasis.

Chronic stress-induced epinephrine (EPI) accelerates breast cancer progression and metastasis, but the molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Herein, we found a strong positive correlation between circulating EPI levels and the tumoral expression of ubiquitin-specific peptidase 22 (USP22) in patients with breast cancer. USP22 facilitated EPI-induced breast cancer progression and metastasis by enhancing adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL)-mediated lipolysis.

As a kind of proteolytic enzyme extracted from , lumbrokinase has been used as an antithrombotic drug clinically. Nevertheless, its potential in anti-cancer, especially in anti-non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), as a single form of treatment or in combination with other therapies, is still poorly understood. In this study, we explored the anti-tumor role and the responsive molecular mechanisms of lumbrokinase in suppressing tumor angiogenesis and chemoresistance development in NSCLC and its clinical potential in combination with bevacizumab and chemotherapeutics.

The eradication of cancer stem cells (CSCs) with drug resistance confers the probability of local tumor control after chemotherapy or targeted therapy. As the main drug resistance marker, ABCG2 is also critical for colorectal cancer (CRC) evolution, in particular cancer stem-like traits expansion. Hitherto, the knowledge about the expression regulation of ABCG2, in particular its upstream transcriptional regulatory mechanisms, remains limited in cancer, including CRC.

Article Synopsis
  • * It was found that MED27 expression is elevated in breast cancer, especially in triple-negative cases, and is associated with increased cancer aggressiveness, while knocking it down impairs cancer cell metastasis and stem cell characteristics.
  • * The study identified KLF4 as a downstream target of MED27, with MED27 knockdown promoting cell death and decreasing tumorsphere formation, suggesting that targeting the MED27/KLF4 signaling pathway could be a new therapeutic strategy for breast cancer.

As the largest subunit of the nuclear remodeling factor complex, Bromodomain PHD Finger Transcription Factor (BPTF) has been reported to be involved in tumorigenesis and development in several cancers. However, to date, its functions and related molecular mechanisms in colorectal cancer (CRC) are still poorly defined and deserve to be revealed. In this study, we uncovered that, under the expression regulation of c-Myc, BPTF promoted CRC progression by targeting Cdc25A.

In spite of significant advances in the understanding of glioma biology and pathology, survival remains poor. Therefore, it is still of great significance to further explore the key factors involved in tumorigenesis and development in glioma and find potential new therapeutic targets. Here, we show that thyroid hormone receptor interactor 4 (TRIP4) is highly expressed in glioma cells and tissues.

Recent studies have demonstrated that rosmarinic acid is a valuable natural product for treatment of alcoholic liver disease. However, the mechanisms whereby rosmarinic acid improves alcoholic liver disease remain unclear. Here we performed experiments using a non-transformed mouse hepatocyte cell line (AML12).

The objective of the present paper was to determine the amount of metal elements in the rape pollen from different regions by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry (FAAS). FAAS method was established for the determination of K, Na, Ca, Mg, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mn, Cd, Cr and Pb in the rape pollen. The samples were incinerated and then digested with HNO3-HClO4 (V : V = 4 : 1) at 90-95 degrees C and under normal pressure.
