Article Synopsis
  • There is a significant gap in understanding how immune characteristics are linked to gastrointestinal tract cancers, making further research crucial for developing immunotherapy targets.
  • A two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis was performed, utilizing data from GWAS Catalog and the FinnGen database to assess 731 immune traits and their relationship with various gastrointestinal cancers.
  • The study identified 78 immune traits that are causally linked to gastrointestinal cancers, with additional findings showing 60 traits act as protective factors, highlighting specific immune traits that may influence cancer risk across multiple locations.

Mitophagy is closely related to cancer initiation and progression. However, heterogeneity with reference to mitophagy remains unexplored in pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD). We used Reactome database to download the mitophagy-related, glycolysis-related and cholesterol biosynthesis-related signaling pathways.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), one of the main contributors to cancer-associated deaths globally, is characterized by high invasiveness. Herein, we studied the molecular mechanisms underlying ten-eleven translocation 1 (TET1)-mediated autophagy in HCC. Following data mining using GSE101728, GSE14520 and GSE138178, TET1 was screened out, and the differential expression of TET1 was verified by bioinformatics analysis.

Background: T cell receptor gamma locus antisense RNA 1 (TRG-AS1) has been reported to involve in the progression of glioblastoma, however the role and its underlying molecular mechanism in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain unknown.

Methods: Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was applied to detect TRG-AS1 expression in HCC cells. Besides, the proliferation abilities of HCC cells were assessed by colony formation and EdU assays.
