To detect patients with poor prognosis among those with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer, who generally show good prognosis, we analyzed gene expression profiles of 35 ER-positive tumors by using a high through-put RT-PCR technique, iAFLP. High expression of six genes out of 7,508 was related to poor prognosis in this group. From these six genes, NFE2L2 and TIAL1 were selected as genes associated with poor prognosis by means of a validation study with another set of 56 ER-positive breast cancers. High expression of these two genes was determined to be significantly predictive for poor prognosis of patients with ER-positive breast cancer, and may help to achieve optimal selection of adjuvant treatment for such patients.

SHP2 promotes the epithelial-mesenchymal transition in triple negative breast cancer cells by regulating β-catenin.

J Cancer Res Clin Oncol

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Laboratory Medicine, Ministry of Education of China, School of Laboratory Medicine and Life Sciences, Wenzhou Medical University, Wenzhou, 325035, Zhejiang, China.

Purpose: Growing evidence suggests that the tyrosine phosphatase SHP2 is pivotal for tumor progression. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most lethal subtype of breast cancer, characterized by its high recurrence rate, aggressive metastasis, and resistance to chemotherapy. Understanding the mechanisms of tumorigenesis and the underlying molecular pathways in TNBC could aid in identifying new therapeutic targets.

Introduction: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is associated with poor prognosis. The roles of the transcription factor special AT-rich binding protein-2 (SATB2) and β-catenin in PDAC have been a subject of controversy. We aimed to assess the diagnostic and prognostic impact of SATB2 and β-catenin in PDAC.

The incidence of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) in non-neutropenic patients is increasing. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes and risk factors for mortality in non-neutropenic IPA patients. We conducted a prospective, multicenter study from August 2020 to February 2024, enrolling 565 patients with suspected IPA.
