Small Cajal Body-Specific RNA12 Promotes Carcinogenesis through Modulating Extracellular Matrix Signaling in Bladder Cancer.

Small Cajal body-specific RNAs (scaRNAs) are a specific subset of small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) that have recently emerged as pivotal contributors in diverse physiological and pathological processes. However, their defined roles in carcinogenesis remain largely elusive. This study aims to explore the potential function and mechanism of SCARNA12 in bladder cancer (BLCA) and to provide a theoretical basis for further investigations into the biological functionalities of scaRNAs.

Identification and validation of an H2AZ1-based index model: a novel prognostic tool for hepatocellular carcinoma.

The H2A.Z variant histone 1 (H2AZ1) is aberrantly expressed in various tumors, correlating with an unfavorable prognosis. However, its role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear.

Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals cell subpopulations in the tumor microenvironment contributing to hepatocellular carcinoma.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is among the deadliest cancers worldwide, and advanced HCC is difficult to treat. Identifying specific cell subpopulations in the tumor microenvironment and exploring interactions between the cells and their environment are crucial for understanding the development, prognosis, and treatment of tumors. In this study, we constructed a tumor ecological landscape of 14 patients with HCC from 43 tumor tissue samples and 14 adjacent control samples.

-related signature for predicting prognosis and tumor microenvironment characteristics in bladder cancer: A multi-omics study.

The tumor suppressor gene is frequently mutated or inactivated in bladder cancer (BLCA), which is implicated in the pathogenesis of tumor. However, the cellular mechanisms of mutations are complicated, yet well-defined, but their clinical prognostic value in the management of BLCA remains controversial. This study aimed to explore the role of mutation in regulating the tumor microenvironment (TME), elucidate the effects of activity on BLCA prognosis and immunotherapy response.

Transcriptomic Analysis of Gene Networks Regulated by U11 Small Nuclear RNA in Bladder Cancer.

Small nuclear RNA is a class of non-coding RNA that widely exist in the nucleus of eukaryotes. Accumulated evidences have shown that small nuclear RNAs are associated with the regulation of gene expression in various tumor types. To explore the gene expression changes and its potential effects mediated by U11 snRNA in bladder cancer cells, U11 snRNA knockout and overexpressed cell lines were constructed and further used to analyze the gene expression changes by RNA sequencing.

A combination of ssGSEA and mass cytometry identifies immune microenvironment in muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

Background: Muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is a heterogeneous disease with varying clinical courses and responses to treatment. To improve the prognosis of patients, it is necessary to understand such heterogeneity.

Methods: We used single-sample gene set enrichment analysis to classify 35 MIBC cases into immunity-high and immunity-low groups.

Integrated RNA Sequencing and Single-Cell Mass Cytometry Reveal a Novel Role of LncRNA HOXA-AS2 in Tumorigenesis and Stemness of Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Purpose: Accumulating evidence indicates that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play critical roles in the development of many cancer types. However, the changes of lncRNAs expression profiles in hepatocarcinogenesis remain largely unknown. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify the clinical significance, oncogenic functions, and potential mechanism of cancer-related lncRNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
