Immune-related cell death index and its application for hepatocellular carcinoma.

Regulated cell death (RCD) plays a crucial role in the immune microenvironment, development, and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, reliable immune-related cell death signatures have not been explored. In this study, we collected 12 RCD modes (e.

IL-6 facilitates cross-talk between epithelial cells and tumor- associated macrophages in Helicobacter pylori-linked gastric carcinogenesis.

Purpose: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a significant risk factor for development of gastric cancer (GC), one of the deadliest malignancies in the world. However, the mechanism by which H.

FYN/TOPK/HSPB1 axis facilitates the proliferation and metastasis of gastric cancer.

Background: FYN is a nonreceptor tyrosine kinase that regulates diverse pathological processes. The pro-cancer role of FYN in multiple malignancies has been elucidated. However, the mechanisms that FYN promotes gastric cancer (GC) progression remain largely unknown.

FYN: emerging biological roles and potential therapeutic targets in cancer.

Src family protein kinases (SFKs) play a key role in cell adhesion, invasion, proliferation, survival, apoptosis, and angiogenesis during tumor development. In humans, SFKs consists of eight family members with similar structure and function. There is a high level of overexpression or hyperactivity of SFKs in tumor, and they play an important role in multiple signaling pathways involved in tumorigenesis.
