Introduction: belongs to the family of Grainyhead-like (GRHL). Previous studies have shown that dysregulation of growth and survival pathways is associated with the GRHL family of gene cancers. Immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors has changed the treatment paradigm for many tumors, including endometrial cancer (EC).

Introduction: The complement system is integral to the innate and adaptive immune response, helping antibodies eliminate pathogens. However, the potential role of complement and its modulators in the tumor microenvironment (TME) of gastric cancer (GC) remains unclear.

Methods: This study assessed the expression, frequency of somatic mutations, and copy number variations of complement family genes in GC derived from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA).

Introduction: Cervical cancer (CC) is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates in women. Members of the receptor-interacting protein kinase (RIPK) family are important regulators of inflammation and cell death. However, the characteristics, molecular functions, and expression mechanisms of RIPK1 in CC remain unclear.

Background: Cervical cancer is one of the most common types of carcinoma in women and has high morbidity and mortality rates worldwide. Recurrent and metastatic disease remains difficult to treat. Receptor interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) is a key molecule in mediating apoptosis, necroptosis, and inflammatory pathways downstream of death receptors and pattern recognition receptors.

Introduction: , an orphan G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), is essential for the progression of gastrointestinal cancers. However, it is still unclear how affects tumor immunity and patient prognosis in gastric cancer (GC).

Methods: The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) were searched in this investigation to assess the expression patterns of in GC tissues and normal gastric mucosa.

Introduction: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common form of primary liver cancer. It is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Deregulation of the ATF/CREB family is associated with the progression of metabolic homeostasis and cancer.

C5a receptor 1 (C5aR1) is associated with various inflammatory processes, the pathogenesis of immune diseases, and tumor growth. However, its role in the tumor microenvironment of gastric cancer (GC) remains unclear. In this study, the expression of C5aR1 in GC and normal gastric mucosa tissues was compared using data retrieved from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) databases, and the results were validated by in vitro qRT-PCR and immunohistochemical analyses.

Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) play an important role in cell division. Given that abnormal cell proliferation caused by dysregulation of cell division is one of the major causes of endometrial cancer (EC), it is important to elucidate the role of CDK family genes in the diagnosis and prognosis of EC. In this study, The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database was used to analyze the frequency of copy number variations and somatic mutations in 26 CDK family genes.
