Article Synopsis
  • Colorectal cancer (CRC) poses significant health risks with high rates of illness and death, and high levels of the protein CBX2 have been linked to worse outcomes for CRC patients.
  • New research shows that CBX2 is overexpressed in colorectal cancer tissues compared to healthy adjacent tissues, making it an independent factor for poor prognosis.
  • The study found that removing CBX2 decreases CRC cell growth and movement, increases cell death, and disrupts the cell cycle by affecting the MAPK signaling pathway, suggesting CBX2 could be a valuable target for cancer treatments.

Cellular senescence is a typical irreversible form of life stagnation, and recent studies have suggested that long non-coding ribonucleic acids (lncRNA) regulate the occurrence and development of various tumors. In the present study, we attempted to construct a novel signature for predicting the survival of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and the associated immune landscape based on senescence-related (sr) lncRNAs. Expression profiles of srlncRNAs in 424 patients with HCC were retrieved from The Cancer Genome Atlas database.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignant gastrointestinal cancers worldwide. RING finger protein 186 (RNF186) is a member of the RING finger protein family. RNF186 has been reported to be involved in the regulation of the intestinal homeostasis through the regulation of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in colonic epithelial cells.
