Leukotriene B4 receptor knockdown affects PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling and apoptotic responses in colorectal cancer.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) presents a landscape of intricate molecular dynamics. In this study, we focused on the role of the leukotriene B4 receptor (LTB4R) in CRC, exploring its significance in the disease's progression and potential therapeutic approaches. Using bioinformatics analysis of the GSE164191 and the Cancer Genome Atlas-colorectal adenocarcinoma (TCGA-COAD) datasets, we identified LTB4R as a hub gene influencing CRC prognosis.

Excessive activation of HOXB13/PIMREG axis promotes hepatocellular carcinoma progression and drug resistance.

The transcription factor HOXB13 is bound up with the occurrence, progression and drug fast of many kinds of cancer. Nevertheless, the specific molecular mechanism of HOXB13 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is still unknown. This provides an obstacle to the exploration of HCC treatments targeting HOXB13.
