Long noncoding RNA MIR210HG is induced by hypoxia-inducible factor 1α and promotes cervical cancer progression.

Increasing evidence has indicated that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play essential roles in various types of cancer, especially the ability of tumor cells to adapt to hypoxia conditions. However, only a few of them have been experimentally validated in cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC). In the current study, we identified a hypoxia-induced lncRNA MIR210HG was excessively expressed in CSCC tissues and regulated by human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 E6 and E7 via hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α).

Myosin 1b promotes migration, invasion and glycolysis in cervical cancer via ERK/HIF-1α pathway.

Background: Increasing evidence indicated that metabolic reprograming is essential and has been regarded as a hallmark of cancer. Although the biological functions of Myosin 1b (Myo1b) have been reported in several malignancies, the correlation between Myo1b and cancer metabolism, and its underlying mechanisms remain elusive, particularly in cervical cancer (CC).

Methods: Myo1b and other glycolytic enzymes expression levels were examined in CC cells and tumor tissues from xenograft models by quantitative real-time PCR, Western blot and immunohistochemistry.

Ghrelin Affects Gastric Cancer Progression by Activating AMPK Signaling Pathway.

As the endogenous ligand for the GH secretagogue receptor (GHSR), Ghrelin is aberrant expressed in multiple malignant carcinoma, and involved in regulating a number of progression of cancer, especially in metastasis and proliferation. However, the precise role of Ghrelin in tumorigenesis of gastric cancer (GC) is still poorly understood. In this study, we extensively investigated the roles and mechanisms of Ghrelin in human gastric cancer.

We found that SNHG12 was significantly overexpressed in CSCC tissues.

Antitumor and antimetastatic activities of a novel benzothiazole-2-thiol derivative in a murine model of breast cancer.

The prognosis of metastatic breast cancer is always very poor. Thus, it is urgent to develop novel drugs with less toxicity against metastatic breast cancer. A new drug (XC-591) derived from benzothiazole-2-thiol was designed and synthesized in our lab.

A series of pure-blue-light emitting Cu(i) complexes with thermally activated delayed fluorescence: structural, photophysical, and computational studies.

Four mononuclear Cu(i)-halide complexes containing phosphines and pyridine ligands with strong electron donor substituents, [CuCl(PPh)(4-NMepy)] (1), [CuI(PPh)(4-NHpy)] (2), [CuI(POP)(4-NHpy)] (3), and [CuI(POP)(4-NMepy)]·0.5(EtO) (4), (PPh = triphenylphosphine, 4-NMepy = 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine, POP = bis[(2-diphenyl-phosphino)phenyl]ether, 4-NHpy = 4-aminopyridine, EtO = diethyl ether) were synthesized and studied with regard to their structural, photophysical properties and theoretical calculations.

Proteomic analysis of docetaxel resistance in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells using the two-dimensional gel electrophoresis method.

Docetaxel-based chemotherapy has been recommended for advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). However, treatment failure often occurs because of acquired drug resistance. In this study, a docetaxel-resistant NPC cell line CNE-2R was established with increasing doses of docetaxel for more than 6 months.

Factors Related to Complicated Grief among Bereaved Individuals after the Wenchuan Earthquake in China.

Background: The Wenchuan earthquake in China caused shock and grief worldwide. Sudden bereavement caused by the earthquake led to physical disorders as well as psychological disturbances in the bereaved individuals. The bereaved had a high risk for complicated grief (CG), which may have led to significant distress and impairment in their health.

Altered thyroid hormone profile in offspring after exposure to high estradiol environment during the first trimester of pregnancy: a cross-sectional study.

Background: The increasing number of babies conceived by in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) shifts concern from pregnancy outcomes to long-time health of offspring. Maternal high estradiol (E2) is a major characteristic of IVF-ET and lasts throughout the first trimester of pregnancy. The fetal thyroid develops during this period and may thus be affected by exposure to the supra-physiological E2.

Enantioselective synthesis of a chiral coordination polymer with circularly polarized visible laser.

Circular dichroism is known to be the feature of a chiral agent which has inspired scientist to study the interesting phenomena of circularly polarized light (CPL) modulated molecular chirality. Although several organic molecules or assemblies have been found to be CPL-responsive, the influence of CPL on the assembly of chiral coordination compounds remains unknown. Herein, a chiral coordination polymer, which is constructed from achiral agents, was used to study the CPL-induced enantioselective synthesis.

Background: The Wenchuan Earthquake that hit Sichuan, China in 2008 not only caused huge losses in terms of human life and economic damage. It also caused psychological trauma in survivors, especially those who had lost relatives and close friends (bereaved). In the aftermath of earthquakes, bereaved individuals require family and spiritual renewal in addition to material assistance.
