miRNAs as short non-coding RNAs in regulating doxorubicin resistance.

The treatment of cancer patients has been prohibited by chemoresistance. Doxorubicin (DOX) is an anti-tumor compound disrupting proliferation and triggering cell cycle arrest via inhibiting activity of topoisomerase I and II. miRNAs are endogenous RNAs localized in cytoplasm to reduce gene level.

The pharmacological and biological importance of EZH2 signaling in lung cancer.

Up to 18% of cancer-related deaths worldwide are attributed to lung tumor and global burden of this type of cancer is ascending. Different factors are responsible for development of lung cancer such as smoking, environmental factors and genetic mutations. EZH2 is a vital protein with catalytic activity and belongs to PCR2 family.

Targeting PI3K/Akt signaling in prostate cancer therapy.

Urological cancers have obtained much attention in recent years due to their mortality and morbidity. The most common and malignant tumor of urological cancers is prostate cancer that imposes high socioeconomic costs on public life and androgen-deprivation therapy, surgery, and combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy are employed in its treatment. PI3K/Akt signaling is an oncogenic pathway responsible for migration, proliferation and drug resistance in various cancers.

SOX2 function in cancers: Association with growth, invasion, stemness and therapy response.

Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide and around 10 million deaths in 2020 were related to cancer. There are a number of therapeutic modalities for cancer such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery. However, tumor cells have capacity of developing resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
