inhibits carcinogenesis in colon cancer cells and is necessary for erastin-induced ferroptosis.

Background: Ferroptosis is a newly discovered type of regulated cell death, the underlying mechanisms of which need to be further illuminated. The regulatory activity of in ferroptosis in colon cancer cells is currently unclear. This study set out to investigate the effect of on ferroptosis in colon cancer cells and determine its underlying mechanism.

Diagnostic Value and Clinical Significance of Methylated SEPT9 for Colorectal Cancer: A Meta-Analysis.

BACKGROUND This meta-analysis aimed to clarify the diagnostic role of plasma methylated SEPT9 (mSEPT9) in colorectal cancer (CRC) and examined its association with CRC. MATERIAL AND METHODS A systematic review was conducted prior to July 2018. Summary sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative likelihood ratio (PLR/NLR) were calculated for the diagnostic value of mSEPT9 for CRC.
