FSIP1 enhances the therapeutic sensitivity to CDK4/6 inhibitors in triple-negative breast cancer patients by activating the Nanog pathway.

CDK4/6 inhibitors are routinely recommended agents for the treatment of advanced HRHER2 breast cancer. However, their therapeutic effectiveness in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains controversial. Here, we observed that the expression level of fibrous sheath interacting protein 1 (FSIP1) could predict the treatment response of TNBC to CDK4/6 inhibitors.

Developmental and cardiac toxicity assessment of Ethyl 3-(N-butylacetamido) propanoate (EBAAP) in zebrafish embryos.

Ethyl 3-(N-butylacetamido) propanoate (EBAAP) is one of the most widely used mosquito repellents worldwide, and is also commonly used to produce cosmetics. Residues have recently been detected in surface and groundwater in many countries, and their potential to harm the environment is unknown. Therefore, more studies are needed to fully assess the toxicity of EBAAP.

The Role of HBx Protein in Diseases Beyond the Liver.

HBX gene is essential for HBV replication, evading the surveillance of the immune system by integrating its sequence into the human genome. It also exists stably in human cells by inhibiting the expression and activity of mismatch repair-related pathway genes. Previous reviews have comprehensively summarized the role of HBx in liver-related diseases.

Construction of m6A-based prognosis signature and prediction for immune and anti-angiogenic response.

Increasing evidence illustrated that m6A regulator-mediated modification plays a crucial role in regulating tumor immune and angiogenesis microenvironment. And the combination of immune checkpoint inhibitor and anti-angiogenic therapy has been approved as new first-line therapy for advanced HCC. This study constructed a novel prognosis signature base on m6A-mediated modification and explored the related mechanism in predicting immune and anti-angiogenic responses.

A novel cuproptosis-related prognostic signature and potential value in HCC immunotherapy.

Copper metabolism plays an important role in the tumor microenvironment, and cuproptosis is the last discovered programmed cell death process. However, the potential mechanism of cuproptosis in regulating the immune microenvironment of HCC remains unclear. A total of 716 HCC patients with complete mRNA expression and survival information were collected from three public HCC cohorts (TCGA-LIHC cohort, = 370; GSE76427 cohort, = 115; ICGC-LIRI cohort, = 231).

Binding blockade between TLN1 and integrin β1 represses triple-negative breast cancer.

Background: Integrin family are known as key gears in focal adhesion for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) metastasis. However, the integrin independent factor TLN1 remains vague in TNBC.

Methods: Bioinformatics analysis was performed based on TCGA database and Shengjing Hospital cohort.

Genotypes in a Chinese Cohort of Pregnant Women.

variants in D¯ Chinese pregnant women arose difficulties in management during pregnancy. Therefore, this study aims to precisely manage D¯ pregnant women by evaluating the spectrum of mutations in D¯ pregnant women and getting insight into the possible rare alleles of A total of 76 D¯ pregnant women were analyzed by performing polymerase chain reactions with sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP), the 10 exons Sanger sequencing, zygosity detection, and mRNA sequencing (mRNA-seq). About 40% of alleles are variations of including 1227A homozygous, RHD-CE(2-9)-D, et al.

Construction of an HCC recurrence model basedon the investigation of immune-relatedlncRNAs and related mechanisms.

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as critical regulators of gene expression and play fundamental roles in immune regulation. Growing evidence suggests that immune-related genes and lncRNAs can serve as markers to predict the prognosis of patients with cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study aimed to contract an immune-related lncRNA (IR-lncRNA) signature for prospective assessment to predict early recurrence of HCC.

Knockdown of endothelin receptor B inhibits the progression of triple-negative breast cancer.

Endothelin receptor B (EDNRB) is one of the receptors in the endothelin axis and its upregulated expression is associated with tumorigenesis and metastasis of several types of solid tumors. However, the expression profile of EDNRB in breast cancer and its role in the progression of breast cancer are unclear. Here, we show that EDNRB expression is higher in metastatic tumors than in primary breast cancer, and is associated significantly with lymph node metastasis and poor survival in Chinese patients with breast cancer.

SND1 expression in breast cancer tumors is associated with poor prognosis.

Staphylococcal nuclease domain-containing 1 (SND1) expression is crucial for breast cancer metastasis; however, the clinical implications of SND1 expression in breast cancer remain unclear. This study investigated the relationship of SND1 protein expression both with metastasis and the prognoses of 144 breast cancer patients over a 10-year follow-up. Chi-square tests revealed that the percentages of positive SND1 expression in breast cancer tumors were significantly associated with larger tumor size (>2 cm, P = 0.

Predicting level 2 axillary lymph node metastasis in a Chinese breast cancer population post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy: development and assessment of a new predictive nomogram.

Background: We aimed to develop a new nomogram to predict the probability of level 2 axillary lymph node metastasis (L-2-ALNM) in breast cancer (BC) patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).

Methods: Data were collected from 709 patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy and then underwent axillary lymph node (ALN) dissection between May 2009 and December 2015 at the Liaoning Cancer Hospital. The level 2 axillary lymph node metastasis (L-2-ALNM ) nomogram was created from the logistic regression model.

Nomogram for prediction of level 2 axillary lymph node metastasis in proven level 1 node-positive breast cancer patients.

Background: The current management of the axilla in level 1 node-positive breast cancer patients is axillary lymph node dissection regardless of the status of the level 2 axillary lymph nodes. The goal of this study was to develop a nomogram predicting the probability of level 2 axillary lymph node metastasis (L-2-ALNM) in patients with level 1 axillary node-positive breast cancer.

Materials And Methods: We reviewed the records of 974 patients with pathology-confirmed level 1 node-positive breast cancer between 2010 and 2014 at the Liaoning Cancer Hospital and Institute.

Inhibition of Abeta Proteotoxicity by Paeoniflorin in Caenorhabditis elegans Through Regulation of Oxidative and Heat Shock Stress Responses.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a common form of dementia and amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) aggregation is considered to be one of its main causes. Paeoniflorin has been previously shown to attenuate cognitive damage inflicted by exogenous Aβ protein. Using transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans models expressing human Aβ, we demonstrate here that paeoniflorin can delay progressive paralysis caused by endogenous Aβ expression and reduce the amount of toxic Aβ oligomers in vivo, although it has no effect on Aβ aggregation in vitro.

Tanshinone IIA Inhibits Glutamate-Induced Oxidative Toxicity through Prevention of Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Suppression of MAPK Activation in SH-SY5Y Human Neuroblastoma Cells.

Glutamate excitotoxicity is associated with many neurological diseases, including cerebral ischemia and neurodegenerative diseases. Tanshinone IIA, a diterpenoid naphthoquinone from , has been shown to suppress presynaptic glutamate release, but its protective mechanism against glutamate-induced neurotoxicity is lacking. Using SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells, we show here that excessive glutamate exposure decreases cell viability and proliferation and increases LDH release.
