The incidence of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) has been rising recently. LSCC is one of the most prevalent malignant tumors of the head and neck. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether tripartite motif containing 71 (TRIM71) could serve as a molecular target for the treatment of LSCC.

Background: Laryngocarcinoma is a common malignancy in the upper respiratory tract. Enabled homolog (ENAH) is an actin-binding protein that is associated with the development of various cancers. However, its role and mechanism in laryngocarcinoma remain unknown.

In this study, we investigated the role of the newly discovered lncRNA FLJ20021 in laryngeal cancer (LC) and its resistance to cisplatin treatment. We initially observed elevated lncRNA FLJ20021 levels in cisplatin-resistant LC cells (Hep-2/R). To explore its function, we transfected lncRNA FLJ20021 and cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1) into Hep-2/R cells, assessing their impact on cisplatin sensitivity and PANoptosis.

The p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) is a multifunctional molecule that is involved in cellular response to various stressful stimuli. In the present study, the full-length cDNA sequence of p38 MAPK (Lcp38 MAPK) was identified from the large yellow croaker Larimichthys crocea, which encoded a polypeptide of 361 amino acid residues. The predicted Lcp38 MAPK protein contained a highly conserved Thr-Gly-Tyr (TGY) motif, a glutamate and aspartate (ED) site, a substrate binding site (Ala-Thr-Arg-Trp < ATRW>), and a serine/threonine kinase catalytic (S_TKc) domain characteristic of the MAPK family.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study focuses on the role of TRIM24, an E3 ligase, in allergic rhinitis (AR), a disease driven by T helper type 2 (Th2) cells, and how it influences the activity of the STAT6 protein.
  • - Researchers found that lower levels of TRIM24 in patients with AR correlate with more severe symptoms and higher levels of IL-4, a cytokine associated with Th2 responses, in a mouse model lacking TRIM24 in CD4 T cells.
  • - Results suggest that TRIM24 plays a crucial role in suppressing Th2 responses in AR by affecting the acetylation and activity of STAT6, highlighting its potential as a target for therapeutic strategies. *

A growing body of evidence suggests that miR-5189-3p plays a critical role in multiple diseases. This study aimed to investigate the function of miR-5189-3p in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) and explore its underlying mechanisms. qRT-PCR was designed to determine the expression levels of miR-5189-3p and eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A2 (EIF5A2), while CCK-8 assay was performed to measure the effects of miR-5189-3p on cell proliferation.

Background: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is one of the most common cancers, but in clinical practice, the lack of precise biomarkers often results in an advanced diagnosis. Hence, it is crucial to explore novel biomarkers to improve the clinical outcome of HNSCC patients.

Methods: We downloaded RNA-seq data consisting of 502 HNSCC tissues and 44 normal tissues from the TCGA database, and lncRNA genomic sequence information was downloaded from the GENECODE database for annotating lncRNA expression profiles.

Emerging evidence has revealed that aberrantly expressed circular RNAs (circRNAs) play vital roles in tumorigenesis and progression of diverse human malignancies. CircZNF609 was found to be involved in hepatocellular carcinoma, but the role and underlying mechanism of circZNF609 in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) remain unclear. This study aimed to explore the molecular mechanism of circZNF609 in LSCC.

Hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HSCC) is a malignant tumor found in the head and neck region. Lactate receptor 1, also known as G protein‑coupled receptor81 (GPR81), has been reported to play a vital role in cancer growth and metabolism. However, the function of GPR81 in HSCC remains largely unknown.

Fish is highly affected by many environmental stresses such as temperature and invasive infection. The extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway, part of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family, is found to act as crucial mediators for cell differentiation, proliferation and cell response to various stresses. In the present study, ERK2 (LcERK2) and ERK5 (LcERK2) were cloned and characterized from large yellow croaker, Larimichthys crocea.

Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) plays an important role in innate immune responses. Here we describe the isolation and characterization of the full-length cDNA sequence of toll-like receptor 2 in large yellow croaker Larimichthys crocea (LcTLR2). The LcTLR2 cDNA contains a 5'-terminal untranslated region (5'-UTR) of 135 bp, an open reading frame (ORF) of 2478 bp encoding a polypeptide of 825 amino acid residues and a 3'-UTR of 50 bp.
