MiR-205-5p Functions as a Tumor Suppressor in Gastric Cancer Cells through Downregulating FAM84B.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) participate in the formation of multiple diseases, including gastric cancer (GC), through modulating specific targets. Here, we explored the functions and regulatory mechanisms of miR-205-5p in GC. MiR-205-5p levels were detected in GC cells through qRT-PCR.

MYBL2 is a Potential Prognostic Marker that Promotes Cell Proliferation in Gallbladder Cancer.

Background: Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is an aggressive and highly lethal biliary tract malignancy, with extremely poor prognosis. In the present study, we analyzed the potential involvement of MYBL2, a member of the Myb transcription factor family, in the carcinogenesis of human GBC.

Methods: MYBL2 expression levels were measured in GBC and cholecystitis tissue specimens using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and immunohistochemical (IHC) assays.

Influence of the interface in quantum corrections on the low-temperature resistance of La(2/3)Sr(1/3)MnO3 trilayer masking thin films.

We report the low-temperature resistance upturn in sandwiched structures of La2/3Sr1/3MnO3/ZrO2/La2/3Sr1/3MnO3 and La2/3Sr1/3MnO3/LaMnO3/La2/3Sr1/3MnO3, while it disappeared when the interlayer was replaced by YBa2Cu3O7. The experimental data have been analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. The results show that the low temperature resistance upturn is mainly due to the quantum correction effects driven by the weak localization and the electron-electron interaction in such a strongly correlated system, and the contribution of each factor varies with grain boundaries.

[Inhibitory effect of arsenic trioxide on proliferation of human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line SMMC-7721 and the mechanism].

Background & Objective: Arsenic trioxide (As(2)O(3)) is a new drug used to treat solid tumors. However, the mechanism is still unclear. This study was to investigate the effects of As(2)O(3) on the proliferation of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell line SMMC-7721, and to explore the mechanisms.
