Cuproptosis-Related lncRNA Predict Prognosis and Immune Response of LUAD.

Background: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide, primarily due to lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). However, the heterogeneity of programmed cell death results in varied prognostic and predictive outcomes. This study aimed to develop an LUAD evaluation marker based on cuproptosis-related lncRNAs.

ADAM12 promotes the resistance of lung adenocarcinoma cells to EGFR-TKI and regulates the immune microenvironment by activating PI3K/Akt/mTOR and RAS signaling pathways.

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a malignant respiratory disease, resulting in a heavy social burden. Epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) resistance and tumor immune microenvironment are important directions in the treatment of LUAD. In this study, we confirmed the role of ADAM metallopeptidase domain 12 (ADAM12) in LUAD development and progression.

Bioengineered stem cell membrane functionalized nanoparticles combine anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties for sepsis treatment.

Background: Sepsis is a syndrome of physiological, pathological and biochemical abnormalities caused by infection. Although the mortality rate is lower than before, many survivors have persistent infection, which means sepsis calls for new treatment. After infection, inflammatory mediators were largely released into the blood, leading to multiple organ dysfunction.

Mechanism of PDZK1 in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Complicated with Hyperuricemia.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a kind of primary liver cancer that accounts for more than 90% of primary hepatocellular carcinomas. Hyperuricemia is closely related to the development, recurrence, metastasis, and prognosis of cancer. Previous studies have proved that the serum uric acid level can increase the incidence rate and mortality of malignant tumors.

Metformin Can Enhance the Inhibitory Effect of Olaparib in Bladder Cancer Cells.

Background: Bladder cancer is a common urinary system tumor. In the treatment of clinical patients, it is particularly important to find an effective treatment method to inhibit tumor growth. The world's first PARP inhibitor olaparib is mainly used for the treatment of BRCA1/BRCA2 mutated tumors.

Second-generation sequencing assistance in the diagnosis of empyema: A case report.

empyema is rare and easy to be misdiagnosed. An 81-year-old male patient showed symptoms with cough, sputum, and fever for 3 days. Community-acquired pneumonia was diagnosed firstly.

LncRNA NCK1-AS1 promotes non-small cell lung cancer progression via regulating miR-512-5p/p21 axis.

Objective: This study aimed at probing into the effect of lncRNA NCK1-AS1 on proliferation, migration and invasion of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells and its regulatory function on miR-512-5p/p21 molecular axis.

Methods: Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to assess the expressions of NCK1-AS1 and miR-512-5p in NSCLC tissues and cell lines. The alterations of cell proliferation, migration, invasion and cell cycle were examined by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, BrdU experiment, Transwell experiment and flow cytometry, respectively.

Long non-coding RNA BX357664 inhibits cell proliferation and metastasis in human lung cancer.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been investigated in human carcinogenesis. The lncRNA BX357664 has emerged as a novel lncRNA that was initially recognized by a microarray analysis. The present study aimed to identify the expression and functional roles of lncRNA BX357664 in lung cancer.

RBMS3 Inhibits the Proliferation and Metastasis of Breast Cancer Cells.

RBMS3, a gene encoding a glycine-rich RNA-binding protein, belongs to the family of c-Myc gene single-strand binding proteins (MSSP). Recently, several reports have provided evidence that RBMS3 was deregulated in a diverse range of solid tumors and played a critical role in tumor progression. However, it remains unclear whether RBMS3 inhibits the progression of human breast cancer.

Alisertib induces apoptosis and autophagy through targeting the AKT/mTOR/AMPK/p38 pathway in leukemic cells.

Alisertib, a potent and selective Aurora kinase A inhibitor, has been demonstrated to exert potent anti-cancer effects in pre-clinical and clinical studies. However, mechanisms of action of alisertib, including the molecular pathways involved in alisertib-induced apoptosis and autophagy of leukemic cells, have remained elusive. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of alisertib on cell growth, apoptosis and autophagy and to delineate the possible molecular mechanisms in leukemic cells.
