Comprehensive analysis of lncRNA-mRNA co-expression networks in HPV-driven cervical cancer reveals the pivotal function of LINC00511-PGK1 in tumorigenesis.

Background: Mounting evidence suggests that noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) were involved in various human cancers. However, the role of these lncRNAs in HPV-driven cervical cancer (CC) has not been extensively studied. Considering that HR-HPV infections contribute to cervical carcinogenesis by regulating the expression of lncRNAs, miRNAs and mRNAs, we aim to systematically analyze lncRNAs and mRNAs expression profile to identify novel lncRNAs-mRNAs co-expression networks and explore their potential impact on tumorigenesis in HPV-driven CC.

Elevated expression of myosin VI contributes to breast cancer progression via MAPK/ERK signaling pathway.

Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most common malignancies occurring in women worldwide, and its incidence is increasing each year. Accumulating evidence indicated that Myosin VI (MYO6) functions as a gene associated with tumor progression in several cancers. However, the potential role of MYO6 and its underlying mechanisms in the development and progression of BC remains unknown.
