Circ_0000274 contributes to renal cell carcinoma progression by regulating miR-338-3p/NUCB2 axis and JAK1/STAT3 pathway.

Background: Kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) are at increased risk of developing renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that circular RNAs (circRNAs) are essential players in tumor advancement. However, the functions of circ_0000274 in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) are barely explored.

GATA binding protein 5-mediated transcriptional activation of transmembrane protein 100 suppresses cell proliferation, migration and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in prostate cancer DU145 cells.

It has been reported that transmembrane protein 100 (TMEM100) acts as a tumor regulator in several types of cancers. However, whether the expression of TMEM100 is associated with the development and prognosis of prostate cancer (PCa) remains elusive. Therefore, the present study aimed to uncover the role of GATA binding protein 5 (GATA5)-mediated activation of TMEM100 in the proliferation, migration and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of PCa cells.
