The effect of various fractions of diesel exhausted particles on the expression of mutant p53 antigen product and ras oncogene p21 product was examined by immunohistochemical method in malignant transformed V79 cell. The result showed that all fractions of diesel exhausted particles (DEPs) could significantly increase the expression of p53 products (P < 0.01). It demonstrated that the organic fractions of DEPs could induce the mutation of p53 suppressor gene in malignant transformed cells. But the expression levels of ras oncogene p21 product were not changed under the same experimental conditions (P > 0.05).

This study compares the safety profiles of two Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors, Ibrutinib and Zanubrutinib, in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). While Ibrutinib has transformed CLL treatment, it is associated with significant adverse events (AEs). Zanubrutinib, a second-generation BTK inhibitor, offers potential for improved safety.

Control of cell-type-specific gene activation requires the coordinated activity of distal regulatory elements, including enhancers, whose inputs must be temporally integrated. Dysregulation of this regulatory capacity, such as aberrant usage of enhancers, can result in malignant transformation of cells. In this review, we provide an overview of our current understanding of enhancer-driven gene regulation and discuss how this activity may be integrated across time, followed by epigenetic and structural alterations of enhancers in cancers.

Despite being designated as "noncarcinogenic" human papillomavirus (HPV) types, mono-infection with HPV6 or HPV11 has been found in squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) at specific sites, including the larynx, penis, anus, and rarely, the lower female genital tract. The association between clinicopathologic features, viral status, and the carcinogenic mechanisms related to these low-risk HPVs remains unclear. The current study characterizes a series of low-risk HPV6 and HPV11-associated SCCs of the uterine cervix (6 cases) and vulva (2 cases).

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed oncological treatment by modulating immune responses against tumors. However, their efficacy is subject to inter-patient variability and is associated with immune-related adverse events (irAEs). The human gut microbiota, a complex microbial ecosystem, is increasingly implicated in modulating responses to ICIs.

Background: The progression of bladder cancer (BC) from non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) to muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) significantly increases disease severity. Although the tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a pivotal role in this process, the heterogeneity of tumor cells and TME components remains underexplored.
Methods: We characterized the transcriptomes of single cells from 11 BC samples, including 4 NMIBC, 4 MIBC, and 3 adjacent normal tissues.
