Azacitidine Is Synergistically Lethal with XPO1 Inhibitor Selinexor in Acute Myeloid Leukemia by Targeting XPO1/eIF4E/c-MYC Signaling.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a high-mortality malignancy with poor outcomes. Azacitidine induces cell death and demonstrates treatment effectiveness against AML. Selinexor (KPT-330) exhibited significant benefits in combination with typical induction treatment for AML patients.

Inhibition of USP14 Deubiquitinating Activity as a Potential Therapy for Tumors with Deficiency.

Functional elimination of p53 is a common feature of a large percentage of human malignancies. Here, we report the development of a pharmacological strategy aimed at restoring p53 function and its use for targeted therapy in p53-deficient mice. Specific inhibition of deubiquitinases ubiquitin-specific peptidase 14 (USP14) resulted in durable tumor regressions of autochthonous lymphomas and sarcomas in p53-deficient mice without affecting normal tissues, and therapeutic response was correlated with an increase in the ubiquitination of constitutive photomorphogenesis 9 (COP9) signalosome subunit 5 (COPS5), a key negative regulatory effector for p53.

Expression and potential prognostic value of histone family gene signature in breast cancer.

Breast cancer (BC) is the most common type of malignancy among females worldwide. Histone modifications, which are the major post-translational modifications, have a significant role in cancer development and prognosis. However, whether histone family genes may serve as potential prognostic biomarkers for BC patients has remained elusive.

The expression and clinical significance of secretory leukocyte proteinase inhibitor (SLPI) in mammary carcinoma using bioinformatics analysis.

Background: Secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SPLI) was a secreted protein which belongs to a member of whey acidic protein four-disulfide core family. In breast cancer (BC) it may inhibit cell proliferation and promote cancer metastasis. In this study, a comprehensive bioinformatics analysis was performed to identify the expression and prognostic value of SLPI in breast cancer.

Dual Regulatory Mechanisms of Expression and Mutation Involving Metabolism-Related Genes FDFT1 and UQCR5 during CLM.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide, and liver metastasis presents a major cause of CRC-associated death. Extensive genomic analysis has provided valuable insight into the pathogenesis and progression of CRC; however, a comprehensive proteogenomic characterization of CRC liver metastasis (CLM) has yet to be reported. Here, we analyzed the proteomes of 44 paired normal colorectal tissues and CRC tissues with or without liver metastasis, as well as analyzed genomics of CRC characterized previously by The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) to conduct integrated proteogenomic analyses.

Clinicopathological and prognostic significance of octamer-binding transcription factor 4 in patients with gastric cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Aim: The role of octamer-binding transcription factor 4 (Oct4) in gastric cancer (GC) progression is still under debate and reported results are inconsistent. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the clinicopathological and prognostic significance of Oct4 expression in patients with GC.

Materials & Methods: Relevant articles were retrieved from a diverse number of databases, and meta-analysis was completed using STATA software 12.

Reduced hsa-miR-124-3p levels are associated with the poor survival of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

Hsa-MicroRNA-124a-3p (hsa-miR-124-3p) is involved in tumor progression in certain malignant tumors. However, its function and clinical implication in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have not yet been illustrated. In this study, we explored the expression and prognostic value of hsa-miR-124-3p in patients with HCC.

miR-30 Family Reduction Maintains Self-Renewal and Promotes Tumorigenesis in NSCLC-Initiating Cells by Targeting Oncogene TM4SF1.

Increasing evidence indicates that tumor-initiating cells (TICs) are responsible for the occurrence, development, recurrence, and development of the drug resistance of cancer. MicroRNA (miRNA) plays a significant functional role by directly regulating targets of TIC-triggered non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but little is known about the function of the miR-30 family in TICs. In this study, we found the miR-30 family to be downregulated during the spheroid formation of NSCLC cells, and patients with lower miR-30a/c expression had shorter overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS).

Prognostic significance of β-catenin expression in patients with ovarian cancer: A meta-analysis.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of β-catenin immunohistochemical expression on the prognostic of ovarian cancer (OC) for that β-catenin could be responsible for the development and progress of OC.

Methods: We searched various databases to identify eligible studies, and Review Managers 5.2 software was fulfilled in the meta-analysis.
