Nonenveloped Avian Reoviruses Released with Small Extracellular Vesicles Are Highly Infectious.

Vesicle-encapsulated nonenveloped viruses are a recently recognized alternate form of nonenveloped viruses that can avoid immune detection and potentially increase systemic transmission. Avian orthoreoviruses (ARVs) are the leading cause of various disease conditions among birds and poultry. However, whether ARVs use cellular vesicle trafficking routes for egress and cell-to-cell transmission is still poorly understood.

Expression analysis and tissue localization of IgZ in the grouper Epinephelus coioides after Vibrio alginolyticus infection and vaccination.

The orange-spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides) is an important marine farmed fish in China. It is affected by the bacterial pathogen Vibrio alginolyticus, which causes high mortality and substantial economic losses. We studied the transcriptional changes of the IgZ gene in E.

Long-noncoding RNA LINC00461 promotes proliferation and invasion of nonsmall cell lung cancer cells via targeting miR-518a-3p/WDR1 pathway.

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a class of RNAs participating in many biological processes such as imprinting, alternative splicing and RNA decay. Recently, lncRNAs have drawn a great deal of attention for their critical role in cancer progression. LINC00461, a newly identified lncRNA, has been reported to be significantly overexpressed in breast cancer and markedly expedited breast cancer progression.

Silencing TRIM37 inhibits the proliferation and migration of non-small cell lung cancer cells.

Tripartite motif containing 37 (TRIM37), a member of the tripartite motif (TRIM) family, has been involved in the development and progression of several tumors. However, its role in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is still unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the expression pattern and role of TRIM37 in NSCLC.

Catalpol inhibits TGF-β1-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition in human non-small-cell lung cancer cells through the inactivation of Smad2/3 and NF-κB signaling pathways.

Catalpol, one of the main active ingredients isolated from Rehmannia glutinosa, was reported to possess anticancer activity. However, the role of catalpol in transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1)-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in human non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells has not been elucidated. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of catalpol on EMT in human NSCLC cells.

LncRNA CCAT1/miR-130a-3p axis increases cisplatin resistance in non-small-cell lung cancer cell line by targeting SOX4.

Background: Colon cancer-associated transcript-1 (CCAT1) has been demonstrated to act as an oncogene and promote chemoresistance in several cancers. However, little is known about the underlying mechanism of CCAT1 in cisplatin (DDP) resistance of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells.

Methods: qRT-PCR was performed to detect the expression levels of CCAT, miR-130a-3p, or sex-determining region Y-box 4 (SOX4) mRNA.

miR-181c contributes to cisplatin resistance in non-small cell lung cancer cells by targeting Wnt inhibition factor 1.

Purpose: miRNAs are implicated in drug resistance of multiple cancers including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), highlighting the potential of miRNAs as chemoresistance regulators in cancer treatment. This study aims to explore the relationship between miR-181c and chemoresistance of NSCLC cells.

Methods: qRT-PCR was conducted to examine the expression of miR-181c in NSCLC tissues, and parental and cisplatin (DDP)-resistant NSCLC cells.

Does adenomatous polyposis coli gene promoter 1A methylation increase non-small cell lung cancer risk? A meta-analysis.

Background: The promoter region of the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene is hypermethylated in several types of cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The prevalence of methylation in the promoter region of this gene in tumor tissues and autologous controls has not been consistent in previous studies. We evaluated the frequency of APC gene promoter 1A methylation between tumor tissues and autologous controls in NSCLC patients by meta-analysis.

Bevacizumab did not reduce the risk of anemia associated with chemotherapy: an up-to-date meta-analysis.

Purpose: The risk of anemia due to bevacizumab-based chemotherapy has not been well described, and new randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have been reported in recent years. We therefore conducted an up-to-date meta-analysis of RCTs to fully characterize the risk of anemia with bevacizumab.

Methods: We carried out an electronic search of Medline, Embase, and The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials to investigate the effects of RCTs on bevacizumab treatment on cancer patients up to October 2014, and random or fixed-effect meta-analytical models were used to assess the risk ratio (RR) of anemia due to the use of bevacizumab according to the heterogeneity of included studies.

[Treatment of cicatricial stricture subsequent to esophageal chemical burns with transverse colon replacing esophagus in children].

Objective: To study the validity of transplanting transverse colon to replace esophagus in treating cicatricial stricture resulting from severe esophageal chemical burns in children.

Methods: A retrospective study was carried out on the clinical data of 46 patients with severe chemical esophageal burns who were treated from November 1972 to September 2008. The transverse colon with the ascending branch of the left colic artery was brought through a retrosternal tunnel to replace strictured esophagus.
