Article Synopsis
  • Breast cancer (BC) exhibits aggressive behavior and poor prognosis, and this study focuses on the role of Zinc Finger Protein 64 (ZFP64), a transcription factor, in regulating cancer stem-like properties and tumor growth through glycolysis.
  • High levels of ZFP64 were found in BC tissues, and patients with elevated ZFP64 had worse survival rates; its expression correlated with various clinical factors like N stage and progesterone receptor status.
  • Knocking down ZFP64 reduced BC cell viability and tumor size in animal models, while overexpression of ZFP64 had the opposite effect; it was also shown that ZFP64 influences glycolysis by directly regulating the expression of glycolysis-related genes.

Purpose: Explore the therapeutic effects and regulatory mechanism of Qingyi Decoction (QYD) on severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) associated acute lung injury (ALI).

Methods: We identified the constituents absorbed into the blood of QYD based on a network pharmacological strategy. The differentially expressed genes from the GEO database were screened to identify the critical targets of QYD treatment of SAP-ALI.

Background: Numerous preclinical investigations have exhibited the beneficial impact of emodin (EMO) on the management of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP)-associated acute lung injury (ALI). However, the potential of EMO to mitigate organ damage through the modulation of exosome (Exo)-specific miRNA expression profiles remains unclear.

Methods: The SAP rat model was established by retrograde injection of 5% sodium taurocholate into the pancreatic bile duct.

E3 ubiquitin ligase Zinc and Ring Finger 2 (ZNRF2) has been demonstrated to be engaged in the development of multiple cancers. Nevertheless, the function of ZNRF2 in breast cancer (BC) still unclear. In this work, we firstly analyzed the differentially expressed genes in BC by bioinformatics and found that ZNRF2 was highly expressed in BC.

Purpose: Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of tumor death worldwide in female, and the five-year overall survival of breast cancer patients remains poor. It is an urgent need to seek novel target for its treatment. Synaptotagmin 13 (SYT13) is a synaptic vesicle transporting protein that regulates the malignant phenotypes of various cancers.

Breast cancer remains a dangerous disease, and delving the molecular mechanism of breast cancer is still necessary. To illustrate the role of miR-511-5p, TCGA database was used to excavate the abundance of miR-511-5p, and the miR-511-5p level was measured in the pathological tissues and tumor cell lines. Moreover, the targets of miR-511-5p were identified with miRDIP and GEPIA and then were used for functional enrichment analysis.

This study aimed to explore the expression of lncRNA-metastasis associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (lncRNA-MALAT1) in breast cancer (BC) patients and its influences on the prognosis of the patients. A total of 120 BC patients admitted to our hospital were enrolled as a BC group, of which 58 patients at I/II stage were treated with breast-conserving surgery as an operation group, and the other 62 patients at III/IV stage were treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with breast-conserving surgery as a combination group. Meantime, 100 healthy people in physical examination during the same period were enrolled as a normal group.
