CircTBC1D22A inhibits the progression of colorectal cancer through autophagy regulated via miR-1825/ATG14 axis.

Distant metastasis is the main cause of death in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). A better understanding of the mechanisms of metastasis can greatly improve the outcome of patients with CRC. Accumulating evidence suggests that circRNA plays pivotal roles in cancer progression and metastasis, especially acting as a miRNA sponge to regulate the expression of the target gene.

COL10A1-DDR2 axis promotes the progression of pancreatic cancer by regulating MEK/ERK signal transduction.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most lethal malignant tumors with a poor prognosis. Type X collagen α 1 chain (COL10A1), a member of the collagen family, is a gene associated with the progression of a variety of human tumors, but the specific function and molecular mechanism of COL10A1 in pancreatic cancer remain unclear. Our study found that COL10A1 is highly expressed in pancreatic cancer cells and tissues, and its high expression is related to poor prognosis and some clinicopathological features, such as tumor size and differentiation.

Dapagliflozin Ameliorates the Formation and Progression of Experimental Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms by Reducing Aortic Inflammation in Mice.

Background: Dapagliflozin, a sodium glucose transporter protein-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor, reduces the risk for cardiovascular diseases. However, the influence of dapagliflozin on nondissecting abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) remains unclear.

Methods: AAAs were created in male C57BL/6 mice via intra-aortic porcine pancreatic elastase (PPE) infusion.

Analyzing microsatellite instability and gene mutation in circulating cell-free DNA to monitor colorectal cancer progression.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Detection of microsatellite instability (MSI) status and gene mutations may be useful for molecular targeted therapy. The liquid biopsy is a newly developed, non-invasive method for tumor diagnosis and monitoring.

Clinicopathological features of syncytial variant nodular sclerosis Hodgkin lymphoma.

The syncytial variant of nodular sclerosis Hodgkin lymphoma (SV-NSHL) is uncommon, and its clinicopathological features have not been well analyzed. In this study, we collected 142 cases of SV-NSHL. There were 76 (53.

LncRNA NEAT1 Promotes Gastric Cancer Progression Through miR-17-5p/TGFβR2 Axis Up-Regulated Angiogenesis.

Background: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been indicated to play critical roles in gastric cancer (GC) tumorigenesis and progression. However, their roles in GC remain to be further elucidated.

Methods: RT-qPCR and fluorescence hybridzation (FISH) were conducted to detect the expression of lncRNA NEAT1 in GC tissues and cell lines.

Mir-20a-5p induced WTX deficiency promotes gastric cancer progressions through regulating PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Background: The X-linked gene WTX (also called AMER1) has been reported to function as a tumour suppressor gene in Wilms' tumour. In our previous study, WTX expression was shown to be significantly reduced in gastric cancer (GC), but the function and mechanism associated with WTX loss had yet to be fully elucidated.

Methods: WTX expression and clinical significance were father analyzed in GC and control normal gastric tissues, and validated in public databases.

Mir20a/106a-WTX axis regulates RhoGDIa/CDC42 signaling and colon cancer progression.

Wilms tumor gene on the X chromosome (WTX) is a putative tumor suppressor gene in Wilms tumor, but its expression and functions in other tumors are unclear. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women and the second leading cause in men in the United States. We demonstrated that WTX frequently lost in CRC which was highly correlated with cell proliferation, tumor invasion and metastasis.

Association of Adjuvant Chemotherapy With Survival in Patients With Stage II or III Gastric Cancer.

Importance: The current staging system of gastric cancer is not adequate for defining a prognosis and predicting the patients most likely to benefit from chemotherapy.

Objective: To construct a survival prediction model based on specific tumor and patient characteristics that enables individualized predictions of the net survival benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with stage II or stage III gastric cancer.

Design, Setting, And Participants: In this multicenter retrospective analysis, a survival prediction model was constructed using data from a training cohort of 746 patients with stage II or stage III gastric cancer who satisfied the study's inclusion criteria and underwent surgery between January 1, 2004, and December 31, 2012, at Nanfang Hospital in Guangzhou, China.

Resveratrol reverses Doxorubicin resistance by inhibiting epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) through modulating PTEN/Akt signaling pathway in gastric cancer.

Background: Gastric cancer is one of the major causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Most of patients presenting with inoperable gastric cancers rely on systemic chemotherapy for prolongation of survival. Doxorubicin (DOX) is one of the important agents against gastric cancer.
