Interferon-γ (IFN-γ) encoded by IFNG gene is a pleiotropic molecule linked with inflammatory cell death mechanisms. This work aimed to determine and characterize IFNG and co-expressed genes, and to define their implications in breast carcinoma (BRCA). Transcriptome profiles of BRCA were retrospectively acquired from public datasets.

Ionizing radiation (IR) has been widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of clinical diseases, with radiation therapy (RT) being particularly rapid, but it can induce "bystander effects" that lead to biological responses in non-target cells after their neighboring cells have been irradiated. To help clarify how radiotherapy induces these effects, To help clarify how radiotherapy induces these effects, we analyzed single-cell RNA sequencing data from irradiated intestinal tissues on day 1 (T1 state), day 3 (T3 state), day 7 (T7 state), and day 14 (T14 state) after irradiation, as well as from healthy intestinal tissues (T0 state), to reveal the cellular level, molecular level, and involvement of different time irradiated mouse intestinal tissues in biological signaling pathways. In addition, changes in immune cell subpopulations and myeloid cell subpopulations after different radiation times were further explored, and gene regulatory networks (GRNs) of these cell subpopulations were constructed.

Purpose: This study was aimed at identifying hub genes and ceRNA regulatory networks linked to prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and to identify possible therapeutic targets.

Methods: Differential expression analyses were performed to detect the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the four datasets (GSE76427, GSE6764, GSE62232, and TCGA). The intersected DEmRNAs were identified to explore biological significance by enrichment analysis.

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common and lethal renal malignant tumor in adults. The aim of the present study was to identify the key genes involved in ccRCC metastasis. Expression profiling data for ccRCC patients with metastasis and without metastasis were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas database.

Eukaryotic initiation factor 4A-3 (EIF4A3) is an RNA-binding protein (RBP) that is a core component of the exon junction complex (EJC). It has been identified as an important player in post-transcriptional regulation processes. Recently, investigations have focused on EIF4A3 dysfunction in carcinogenesis.

Aim: The aim of this study was to develop a novel long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) expression signature to accurately predict early recurrence for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after curative resection.

Methods: Using expression profiles downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas database, we identified multiple lncRNAs with differential expression between early recurrence (ER) and non-early recurrence (non-ER) groups of patients with HCC. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator for logistic regression models were used to develop an lncRNA-based classifier for predicting ER in the training set.
