Background: The clinical effects and detailed roles of long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) steroid receptor RNA activator 1 (SRA1) in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remain ambiguous. In the present study, the complementary sites between lncRNA SRA1, miRNA-363-5p, and phospholysine phosphohistidine inorganic pyrophosphate phosphatase (LHPP) predicted bioinformatics analysis stimulated us to hypothesize that miRNA-363-5p/LHPP axis might be required for SRA1-mediated ESCC progression.

Aim: To investigate the molecular events of SRA1 in the malignant behavior in ESCC.

Background: Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (ESCC) remains a predominant health concern in the world, characterized by high prevalence and mortality rates. Advances in single-cell transcriptomics have revolutionized cancer research by enabling a precise dissection of cellular and molecular diversity within tumors.

Objective: This study aims to elucidate the cellular dynamics and molecular mechanisms in ESCC, focusing on the transcriptional influence of STAT3 (Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3) and its interaction with LHPP, thereby uncovering potential therapeutic targets.

Esophageal cancer is considered one of the most significant challenges to public health worldwide. While various therapeutic options exist for esophageal cancer, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery, several adverse effects of these medications have been reported. Therefore, a new generation of therapeutic lines should be applied to minimize complications.

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), a highly aggressive subtype of esophageal cancer, is characterized by late-stage diagnosis and limited treatment options. Recent advancements in transcriptome sequencing technologies have illuminated the molecular intricacies of ESCC tumors, revealing metabolic reprogramming as a prominent feature. Specifically, the Warburg effect, marked by enhanced glycolysis, has emerged as a hallmark of cancer, offering potential therapeutic targets.

Objective: To establish a novel approach for diagnosing early- and midstage esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).

Methods: The tumor suppressor gene phospholysine phosphohistidine inorganic pyrophosphate phosphatase (LHPP)-based miRNA signature was identified using next-generation sequencing and 3 biological online prediction systems. This retrospective study established and validated an ESCC prediction model using a test cohort and a validation cohort.

Objective: To investigate the relations between different compositions of Gegenqinlian decoction and their effects on experimental shigellosis in rabbits to explore the composition protocol of Gegenqinlian decoction.

Methods: Rabbit models of intestinal invasion induced by Shigella flexneri was established by directly inoculating the bacterium in the colon after cecum bypass operation. The effects of different compositions of Gegenqinlian decoction on the indexes of colitis and the bacterial count of Shigella in the colon content and colon tissue were investigated by orthogonal design.
