Introduction: Ovarian cancer (OVCA) is one of the most prevalent malignant tumors of the female reproductive system, and its diagnosis is typically accompanied by the production of ascites. Although liquid biopsy has been widely implemented recently, the diagnosis or prognosis of OVCA based on liquid biopsy remains the primary emphasis.

Methods: In this study, using proximity barcoding assay, a technique for analyzing the surface proteins on single extracellular vesicles (EVs).

Background: The roles of T-Box transcription factor (TBX2) in endometrial cancer are still not clear. This study was designed to explore the roles of TBX2 in endometrial cancer and the underlying mechanisms.

Methods: The knockdown and overexpression of TBX2 in endometrial cancer cell lines were constructed by using lentivirus transduction.

Hypoxia can promote the progression and metastasis of ovarian cancer, while the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. Hypoxia culture or CoCl2 induced-oxygen deprivation condition could promote SKOV3 cells to express cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2). Luciferase assay indicates that hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF1α) could bind directly with the promoter region of COX2 to promote the transcription.

Objective: High mobility group box 3 (HMGB3) plays an important role in the development of various cancer. This study aims to explore whether HMGB3 regulates cervical cancer (CC) progression and elucidate the underlying mechanism.

Methods: HMGB3 expression in clinical patients' tumor samples were determined by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blot.

In previous studies, long non-coding RNA LINC01410 (LINC01410) has been found to promote cells proliferation and invasion in colon and gastric cancers. However, the function of LINC01410 in endometrial cancer (EC) is still elusive. The expression patterns of LINC01410/miR-23c/Chromodomain Helicase DNA-Binding Protein 7 (CHD7) in EC tissues and the prognosis of patients with different expression of LINC01410/miR-23c/CHD7 were determined by consulting TCGA database.
