Atractyloside inhibits gefitinib‑resistant non‑small‑cell lung cancer cell proliferation.

Atractyloside is a traditional Chinese medicine used to treat nasal congestion, and allergic rhinitis; however, its effects on cancer are unknown. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is associated with high mortality rates worldwide, and relapse due to epidermal growth factor receptor mutations is a problem in clinical therapy. Therefore, novel biomarkers are required for the diagnosis and treatment of NSCLC.

Inhibition of SHP2 by the Small Molecule Drug SHP099 Prevents Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Acute Lung Injury in Mice.

Excessive pulmonary inflammation in acute lung injury (ALI) causes high patient mortality. Anti-inflammatory therapy, combined with infection resistance, can help to prevent ALI and save lives. The expression of Src homology-2 domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase 2 (SHP2) was found to be significantly higher in macrophages and lung tissues with ALI, and SHP2-associated MAPK pathways were activated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS).

Boris knockout eliminates AOM/DSS-induced in situ colorectal cancer by suppressing DNA damage repair and inflammation.

The Brother of Regulator of Imprinted Sites (BORIS, gene symbol CTCFL) has previously been shown to promote colorectal cancer cell proliferation, inhibit cancer cell apoptosis, and resist chemotherapy. However, it is unknown whether Boris plays a role in the progression of in situ colorectal cancer. Here Boris knockout (KO) mice were constructed.

circAR-E2E4-miR-665-STAT3 axis is a potential regulatory network in triple-negative breast cancer.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a novel type of endogenous non-coding RNAs (ncRNA). Many studies showed that circRNAs played different biological functions in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). However, the potential molecular mechanism of circRNAs in TNBC still remains to be investigated.

BTApep-TAT peptide inhibits ADP-ribosylation of BORIS to induce DNA damage in cancer.

Background: Brother of regulator of imprinted sites (BORIS) is expressed in most cancers and often associated with short survival and poor prognosis in patients. BORIS inhibits apoptosis and promotes proliferation of cancer cells. However, its mechanism of action has not been elucidated, and there is no known inhibitor of BORIS.
