Epigenetically Downregulated Breast Cancer Gene 2 through Acetyltransferase Lysine Acetyltransferase 2B Increases the Sensitivity of Colorectal Cancer to Olaparib.

Olaparib suppresses DNA damage repair by inhibiting the poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP), especially in cancers with mutations or the BRCA-ness phenotype. However, the first trials showed that some patients with defective DNA damage repair are still resistant to olaparib. The recovery of the wildtype BRCA is a prominent mechanism of PARP inhibitor (PARPi) resistance in BRCA-deficient tumors, but additional molecular features of olaparib resistance remain poorly understood.

H19 encourages aerobic glycolysis and cell growth in gastric cancer cells through the axis of microRNA-19a-3p and phosphoglycerate kinase 1.

Numerous studies have been conducted on long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in human tumors like gastric cancer (GC). Our research uncovers how aerobic glycolysis and cell proliferation in gastric cancer cells are related to H19. We discovered that H19 was highly expressed in tumor tissues and that patients with higher H19 expression have a poorer prognosis.

Expression profile of lncRNAs and mRNAs in intestinal macrophages.

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have been previously reported to serve an important role in transcription. In addition, several studies have revealed that long ncRNAs (lncRNAs) have a crucial role in human diseases. However, the association between lncRNAs and inflammation‑induced intestinal macrophages in the intestinal mucosal barrier has remained elusive.
