Triosephosphate isomerase 1 may be a risk predictor in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma: a multi-centered study integrating bulk RNA, single-cell RNA, and protein immunohistochemistry.

Background: Although great progress has been made in anti-cancer therapy, the prognosis of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) patients remains unsatisfied. Quantities of studies demonstrate that glycolytic reprograming is essential for the progression of cancers, where triosephosphate isomerase 1 (TPI1) serves as a catalytic enzyme. However, the clinicopathological significance and potential biological functions of TPI1 underlying LSCC remains obscure.

Clinicopathological value of hematopoietic cell kinase overexpression in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma tissues.

Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is the most lethal cancer in head and neck tumors. Although hematopoietic cell kinase (HCK) has been proven to be an oncogene in several solid tumors, its roles in LSCC remain obscure. This is the first study to evaluate the clinical value of HCK in LSCC, with the aim of exploring its expression status and potential molecular mechanisms underlying LSCC.

Emerging Roles of Coronavirus in Autoimmune Diseases.

Virus infection can alter immune regulatory activity, and thus may be involved in the occurrence of autoimmune diseases. Recently, the pandemic of COVID-19 has posed a huge threat to public health and emerging evidence suggests that coronavirus may be implicated in the development and pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. However, how coronavirus infection impacts the risk of autoimmune disease remains largely unknown.
