[Corrigendum] Overexpression of lncRNA EGFR‑AS1 is associated with a poor prognosis and promotes chemotherapy resistance in non‑small cell lung cancer.

After the publication of the article, the authors have realized that the affiliation presented for the joint co‑author listed on the paper (Jian‑Ren Tu) was incorrect. The correct author list (and affiliations) should therefore have been published as follows: Yu‑Hua Xu1*, Jian‑Ren Tu2*, Tian‑Tian Zhao3, Shi‑Guang Xie3 and Sheng‑Bo Tang4. 1Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Jiangxi Chest Hospital, Nanchang, Jiangxi 330006; 2Department of Oncology, Jiangxi Cancer Hospital, Nanchang, Jiangxi 330029; Departments of 3Respiratory Medicine and 4Medical Oncology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University, Nanchang, Jiangxi 330006, P.

Association analyses of the JAK/STAT signaling pathway with the progression and prognosis of colon cancer.

The present study investigated the association between the Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) signaling pathway with tumor progression and prognosis of colon cancer. A total of 62 patients with colon cancer were selected as the colon cancer group, and 40 patients with colon lesions were selected as the benign colon lesion group. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression levels of JAK-1 and STAT-3 proteins in colon tissues.

Overexpression of lncRNA EGFR‑AS1 is associated with a poor prognosis and promotes chemotherapy resistance in non‑small cell lung cancer.

Chemoresistance is one of the most important biological elements affecting the progression and prognosis of cancer. Long non‑coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are important regulators and are aberrantly expressed in various types of cancer in humans, including non‑small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The present study aimed to investigate the effect of lncRNAs on NSCLC resistance to chemotherapy.

Synthesis of Benzyltributylstannanes by the Reaction of N-Tosylhydrazones with BuSnH.

An efficient stannylation process with N-tosylhydrazones or directly with carbonyl compounds has been developed. A series of functionalized benzyl- and alkyltributylstannanes can be synthesized in moderate to good yields under transition-metal-free conditions. Tandem transformations involving stannylation/Stille cross-coupling reaction have been carried out without purification of the benzyltributylstannane intermediates to afford a series of diarylmethane derivatives.

Genetic risk of lung cancer associated with a single nucleotide polymorphism from EXO1: a meta analysis.

Background/aim: Several reports have investigated the role of exonuclease 1 (EXO1) rs1047840 in lung cancer risk in different ethnic populations. Nevertheless, the results have been controversial. We aimed to assess the possible association between EXO1 rs1047840 and risk of lung cancer in a meta-analysis.

Synthesis of trimethylstannyl arylboronate compounds by Sandmeyer-type transformations and their applications in chemoselective cross-coupling reactions.

A synthetic method based on Sandmeyer-type reactions to access both tin- and boron-substituted arenes from nitroaniline derivatives is described. This transformation can be applied to the synthesis of a series of functionalized trimethylstannyl arylboronates. In addition, the chemoselective reaction of the Stille and Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions is explored, and a series of m- and p-terphenyl derivatives have been synthesized by conducting consecutive one-pot Stille and Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions.

Synthesis of aryl trimethylstannanes from aryl amines: a Sandmeyer-type stannylation reaction.

Sandmeyer-type stannylation: Stille coupling is one of the most powerful coupling reactions for CC bond formation, whereas there are only limited methods to access aryl stannane compounds. A mild stannylation process based on a Sandmeyer-type transformation using aromatic amines as the starting materials is described. DCE: 1,2-dichloroethane.

Effect of WFDC 2 silencing on the proliferation, motility and invasion of human serous ovarian cancer cells in vitro.

Objective: To investigate effect and possible mechanisms of silencing human WFDC2 (HE4) gene on biological behavior changes as cell proliferation, apoptosis, movement and invasion of human serous ovarian cancer cell line SKOV3.

Methods: Lentiviral WFDC2 gene sequence of small interfering siRNA was stablely transfected into SKOV3 identified by Q-PCR and western-blot. Obtained SKOV3 stable strains with silenced HE4 were measured by proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion.
