LINC00982-encoded protein PRDM16-DT regulates splicing to suppress colorectal cancer metastasis and chemoresistance.

Metastasis is one of the key factors of treatment failure in late-stage colorectal cancer (CRC). Metastatic CRC frequently develops resistance to chemotherapeutic agents. This study aimed to identify the novel regulators from "hidden" proteins encoded by long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) involved in tumor metastasis and chemoresistance.

lncRNA MEG8 is downregulated in osteoarthritis and regulates chondrocyte cell proliferation, apoptosis and inflammation.

Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) maternally expressed 8, small nucleolar RNA host gene (MEG8) has been widely reported for its pro-proliferative, anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory effects in diverse diseases. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects and underlying mechanism of MEG8 on IL-1β-stimulated human osteoarthritis (OA) chondrocytes. C28/I2 chondrocytes were cultured under the stimulation of IL-1β to establish a cellular model of OA.

Knockdown of FBXO39 inhibits proliferation and promotes apoptosis of human osteosarcoma U-2OS cells.

F-box proteins are essential components of the Skp-cullin-F-box complex (a type of E3 ubiquitin ligase), and participate in cell cycle and immune responses through the ubiquitin proteasome system. F-box protein 39 () belongs to the F-box family, which has been reported to be associated with cancer oncogenesis and progression. The present study aimed to investigate the role of in osteosarcoma (OS) cell proliferation and apoptosis .

Clinicopathological and prognostic significance of PD-L1 expression in sarcoma: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Programmed cell death-ligands 1 (PD-L1) is a key immune checkpoint protein and a promising therapeutic target for malignancy tumor immunotherapy. The prognostic value of PD-L1 in patients with bone and soft tissue sarcoma remains controversial. Therefore, this meta-analysis is conducted to evaluate the associations of PD-L1 expression with overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and clinicopathological characteristics of sarcomaA comprehensive literature search of PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library was conducted for relevant studies.
