Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is a type of cancer with high incidence and mortality rates. Although various chemical interventions are being developed to treat gastric cancer, there is a constant demand for research into new GC treatment targets and modes of action (MOAs) because of the low effectiveness and side effects of current treatments.

Methods: Using the TCGA data portal, we identified EHMT2 overexpression in GC samples.

Therapeutic advancements in treatments for cancer, a leading cause of mortality worldwide, have lagged behind the increasing incidence of this disease. There is a growing interest in multifaceted approaches for cancer treatment, such as chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy, but due to their low efficacy and severe side effects, there is a need for the development of new cancer therapies. Recently, the human microbiome, which is comprised of various microorganisms, has emerged as an important research field due to its potential impact on cancer treatment.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on SMYD5 as a new regulator of metastasis in lung cancer, which is the primary cause of death for these patients.
  • It was found that SMYD5 is overexpressed in lung cancer cells and its knockdown reduces cell migration and invasion, indicating its role in the disease's spread.
  • The researchers suggest that targeting SMYD5 could improve lung cancer treatments, particularly when combined with traditional chemotherapy.

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC), also known as kidney cancer, is a common malignant tumor of the urinary system. While surgical treatment is essential, novel therapeutic targets and corresponding drugs for RCC are still needed due to the high relapse rate and low five-year survival rate. In this study, we found that SUV420H2 is overexpressed in renal cancers and that high SUV420H2 expression is associated with a poor prognosis, as evidenced by RCC RNA-seq results derived from the TCGA.
