CS12192, a novel JAK3/JAK1/TBK1 inhibitor, attenuates autoimmune dermatoses in murine models.

Objective: Autoimmune dermatosis (AID) occurs when the body's immune system attacks skin or tissue, leading to various types of skin disorders or injuries. Recent studies show that Janus kinases (JAKs) play critical roles in autoimmune diseases including AID by regulating multiple cytokine signaling pathways. CS12192, a novel JAK3/JAK1/TBK1 inhibitor, has been reported to exert ameliorative effects in rheumatoid arthritis.

Therapeutic potential of anti-miR29a in breast cancer patients with type 2 diabetes: an and xenograft mouse-model study.

Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) acting as tumour suppressors or oncogenes, known as oncomiRs, are a promising new focus in targeted therapies for cancer. Approximately 16% of breast cancer patients have pre-existing diabetes. Breast cancer with type 2 diabetes mellitus (BDM) is provided with its unique biological characteristics and clinical characteristics.

Erianin inhibits human lung cancer cell growth via PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway in vitro and in vivo.

Erianin is a small-molecule compound that is isolated from Dendrobium chrysotoxum Lindl. In recent years, it has been found to have evident antitumor activity in various cancers, such as bladder cancer, cervical cancer, and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. In this study, we assessed the effect of erianin on lung cancer in terms of cell growth inhibition and the related mechanism.

Feasibility and efficacy of microwave ablation for treating breast fibroadenoma.

Background: To investigate the safety, efficacy, and follow-up outcomes of microwave ablation (MWA) in patients with breast fibroadenoma.

Methods: An institutional review board-approved this study of patients treated with MWA for breast fibroadenoma from October 2017 to March 2019. Clinical features of patients and breast fibroadenoma were analyzed.

Pharmacological activities and mechanisms of action of Pogostemon cablin Benth: a review.

Patchouli ("Guanghuoxiang") or scientifically known as Pogostemon cablin Benth, belonging to the family Lamiaceae, has been used in traditional Chinse medicine (TCM) since the time of the Eastern Han dynasty. In TCM theory, patchouli can treat colds, nausea, fever, headache, and diarrhea. Various bioactive compounds have been identified in patchouli, including terpenoids, phytosterols, flavonoids, organic acids, lignins, glycosides, alcohols, pyrone, and aldehydes.

Aconitine induces cardiotoxicity through regulation of calcium signaling pathway in zebrafish embryos and in H9c2 cells.

Fuzi, the processed lateral roots of Aconitum carmichaelii Debx., is a traditional herbal medicine that is well known for its excellent pharmacological effects and acute toxicity. Aconitine is one of the diester-diterpene alkaloids and well-known for its arrhythmogenic effects.

MicroRNA-204 inhibits the proliferation and metastasis of breast cancer cells by targeting PI3K/AKT pathway.

Purpose: Breast cancer is one of the deadliest malignancies in women. Lack of biomarkers and the unavailability of reliable therapeutic targets are main hurdles in the treatment of breast cancer. The present study was therefore designed to assess the role and therapeutic potential of miR-204 in the treatment of breast cancer.

Deleted in breast cancer 1 as a potential prognostic biomarker in human cancers: a pooled analysis of 2,254 patients.

Background: Deleted in breast cancer 1 (DBC1) is believed to be involved in human cancers. However, it is still uncertain whether DBC1 expression can be regarded as a prognostic factor in patients with various cancers. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the relationship between high levels of DBC1 and prognosis in tumor patients.

LncRNA MALAT1 promotes relapse of breast cancer patients with postoperative fever.

Postoperative fever is prevalent in many breast cancer patients. Some retrospective studies proposed that postoperative fever might also be considered as a rapid rough indicator for the poor prognosis of breast cancer patients. This study aims to explore the possible molecular mechanisms underlying the relapse of breast cancer patients with early postoperative fever.

miR-34a expression in human breast cancer is associated with drug resistance.

miR-34a is significantly down-regulated in breast cancer tissues and cell lines, which may be correlated with breast cancer multi-drug resistance (MDR). Here, we conducted cell-based experiments and clinical studies in a cohort of 113 breast cancer samples to analyze miR-34a expression and breast cancer MDR. Expression of miR-34a is down-regulated in the multi-drug resistant MDR-MCF-7 cells compared with its parental cells.

miR-29a regulated ER-positive breast cancer cell growth and invasion and is involved in the insulin signaling pathway.

Increasing amounts of evidence show that insulin can activate different insulin signaling pathways to promote breast cancer growth and invasion. miR-29a plays crucial roles in decreasing glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, as well as in regulating breast cancer cell proliferation and EMT. However, the mechanism responsible for the regulatory effects of miR-29a on breast cancer growth and invasion and the relationship between these effects and insulin signaling remains unclear.

[Correlation between Tau expression and clinicopathological characteristics of breast invasive ductal carcinomas].

Objective: To explore the expression of Tau protein in breast invasive ductal carcinomas and examine the correlation between its expression and clinicopathological characteristics of breast cancer.

Methods: The clinicopathological data of 150 breast cancer patients at Third Municipal Hospital from October 2007 to June 2011 were collected and analyzed. Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expressions of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), HER-2 and Tau protein.

Tau proteins expressions in advanced breast cancer and its significance in taxane-containing neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Tau is a microtubule-associated protein and expressed in normal breast epithelial cells and breast cancer. Tau expression in breast cancer may be important for chemotherapy optimization. This study is to investigate the expression of Tau in advanced breast cancer and its significance in taxane-containing neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
