Lnc-EST885 promotes hepatocellular carcinoma metastasis through PI3K / AKT pathway by interaction with TRAF4.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents a major malignancy globally, characterized by high malignancy and intricate molecular mechanisms. This study aims to explore the role of the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) lnc-EST885 in HCC development.

Methods: Cell experiments including FISH, western blot, flow cytometry and functional analysis were used to elucidate the effects of lnc-EST885 on cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration and EMT processes.

Genetic Polymorphism rs6505162 in MicroRNA-423 May Not Be Associated with Susceptibility of Breast Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: MicroRNA-423 (miR-423) rs6505162 polymorphism is found to be associated with breast cancer (BC) risk. However, the results were inconsistent. This study meta-analyzed the literature on possible association between rs6505162 polymorphism and BC risk.
