Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been reported to be vital participants in tumor progression. Recently, lncRNA PSMB8-AS1 has been uncovered to facilitate pancreatic cancer progression by regulating miR-382-3p/STAT1/PD-L1 network. Nonetheless, the role of PSMB8-AS1 and its underlying mechanism have not been well-explored in colorectal cancer (CRC).

The current model for predicting prognosis and chemotherapy response of patients with gastric adenocarcinoma is the TNM staging system, which may lack adequate accuracy and evaluations of molecular features at the individual level. We aimed to develop a prediction model to assess the individualized prognosis and responsiveness to fluorouracil-based adjuvant chemotherapy. This retrospective study concluded 2 independent cohorts of patients with GAC.

Increasing evidences have demonstrated that Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are key regulatory RNAs that participate in multiple biological processes. LncRNA urothelial carcinoma-associated 1 () is a newly identified lncRNA and functions as a regulator of growth in several cancers. However, the biological function and molecular mechanism of in the metastasis of osteosarcoma remain unclear.

Purpose: Accumulating evidence indicates that dysregulated long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play critical roles in tumorigenesis and cancer progression. LncRNA-maternally expressed gene 3 (MEG3) has been shown to be involved in the initiation and development of several cancers, including glioma. However, the clinical prognostic value of MEG3 in glioma has not yet been fully elucidated.

Background: Current surgical therapies for spontaneous intracerebellar hemorrhage (SCH) include suboccipital craniotomy (SC), stereotactic aspiration and thrombolysis (SAT), and endoscopic surgery (ES). Evidence comparing the therapeutic effects of these 3 methods is scarce. The safety and efficacy of SC, SAT, and ES for SCH are still uncertain.

Syntaxin 3, also known as STX3, is a protein encoded by the STX3 gene in humans. This protein is one of the fundamental components of the exocytotic machinery required for the docking and fusion of secretory granules with the plasma membrane. The roles of STX3 in human breast cancer remains elusive.

The molecular mechanism of individual response of susceptibility and resilience under psychological stress remains controversial and unclear. The present study aimed to explore the relationship of metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) with glucocorticoid receptor (GR) or cannabinoid receptor (CB1) and further indicate the molecular mechanism of susceptibility and resilience to acute stress (AS) and chronic mild stress (CMS). Sucrose preference test and open field test were used to evaluate the response of susceptibility and resilience under stress in rats.

Aim: We aimed to investigate the associations between components of the phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin (PTEN/AKT/mTOR) pathway and liver cancer stem cell (LCSC) markers, including CD133, CD90, CD44, and epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM), and to further evaluate the predictive values of these biomarkers for recurrence and survival in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Method: Protein expressions and mRNA levels of PTEN and LCSC markers were determined in 110 HCC tissues and 98 adjacent non-tumor tissues. Protein expressions of phosphorylated AKT (p-AKT) and phosphorylated mTOR (p-mTOR) were detected to evaluate the activation of the PTEN/AKT/mTOR pathway by using immunohistochemistry.

Unlabelled: Down-regulation of p57 (KIP2) cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors accelerates the growth and invasion of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), suggesting that p57 may play an important role in liver carcinogenesis. However, the mechanism or oncogenic signal leading to p57 down-regulation in HCC remains to be determined. Herein, we demonstrated that Jab1/Csn5 expression is negatively correlated with p57 levels in HCC tissues.

The intermingling of two malignant neoplasms within the same cutaneous tumor is rare. No consensus has been reached for a clear definition and categorization. In the current study, we describe a cutaneous neoplasm; a squamomelanocytic tumor (SMT) with histological features combining those of a squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and a malignant melanoma (MM).
