Objective: To observe the effect of Fuzheng Yiliu Granule (FZYLG) on cell cycle and nuclear transcription factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B) in tissue of esophageal-gastric carcinoma.
Methods: Seventy-six patients with esophageal gastric carcinoma were randomly divided into two groups, the FZYLG group and the control group. FZYLG was given to the former for 15 days. The tumor tissue in both groups was resected and cell cycle and apoptosis rate as well as NF-kappa B were determined by flowcytometry.
Results: Level of NF-kappa B in the treated group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). In the treated group, the percentage of G0/G1 stage cells were significantly increased and that of S stage significantly decreased (both P < 0.05). At the same time, obvious cell apoptosis was found in the treated group, the apoptosis rate of which was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.01).
Conclusion: FZYLG can increase the NF-kappa B expression, block the proliferation to promote the apoptosis of tumor cells.

Spiny mice (Acomys) have evolved cellular features to support regenerative healing.

Spiny mice (Acomys spp.) are warm-blooded (homeothermic) vertebrates whose ability to restore missing tissue through regenerative healing has coincided with the evolution of unique cellular and physiological adaptations across different tissue types. This review seeks to explore how these bizarre rodents deploy unique or altered injury response mechanisms to either enhance tissue repair or fully regenerate excised tissue compared to closely related, scar-forming mammals.

Sunitinib is a first-line targeted therapy for patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC), but resistance represents a significant obstacle to the treatment of advanced and metastatic RCC. Metabolic reprogramming is a characteristic of RCC, and changes in metabolic processes might contribute to resistance to sunitinib. Here, we identified MTHFD2, a mitochondrial enzyme involved in one-carbon metabolism, as a critical mediator of sunitinib resistance in RCC.

Evidence suggests that increases in ploidy have occurred frequently in the evolutionary history of organisms and can serve adaptive functions to specialized somatic cells in multicellular organisms. However, the sudden multiplication of all chromosome content may present physiological challenges to the cells in which it occurs. Experimental studies have associated increases in ploidy with reduced cell survival and proliferation.

Background: Modulation of protein synthesis according to the physiological cues is maintained through tight control of Eukaryotic Elongation Factor 2 (eEF2), whose unique translocase activity is essential for cell viability. Phosphorylation of eEF2 at its Thr56 residue inactivates this function in translation. In our previous study we reported a novel mode of post-translational modification that promotes higher efficiency in T56 phosphorylation.

This review explores the current understanding and recent advancements in neuroblastoma, one of the most common extracranial solid pediatric cancers, accounting for ~ 15% of childhood cancer-related mortality. The hallmarks of NBL, including angiogenesis, metastasis, apoptosis resistance, cell cycle dysregulation, drug resistance, and responses to hypoxia and ROS, underscore its complex biology. The tumor microenvironment's significance in disease progression is acknowledged in this study, along with the pivotal role of cancer stem cells in sustaining tumor growth and heterogeneity.
