In a series of invasive ductal breast carcinoma, we investigated the status of chromosomal and intrachromosomal instability by fluorescence in situ hybridisation and determined the level of mRNA expression for two genes involved in the mitotic spindle checkpoint pathway, BUB1B and MAD2L1. All breast cancers demonstrated higher chromosomal instability rates in tumor samples (average: 56.86%, range: 36.24-76.78%) than in controls (average: 11.54%, range: 9.91-14.84%) (P<0.0001). As well as intrachromosomal instability rates were elevated in tumor (average: 18.45% range: 8.34-35.8%) as compared with controls (average: 4.18% range: 3.47-4.81%) (P<0.0001). An increase in BUB1B and MAD2L1 transcripts was demonstrated in the majority of the tumor tested. BUB1B mRNA levels but not MAD2L1 levels correlated with intrachromosomal instability (r=0.722, P=0.018).

Background: Bioinformatics analysis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) expression profiles can aid in understanding its molecular mechanisms and identifying new targets for diagnosis and treatment.

Aim: In this study, we analyzed expression profile datasets and miRNA expression profiles related to HCC from the GEO using R software to detect differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRs).

Methods And Results: Common DEGs were identified, and a PPI network was constructed using the STRING database and Cytoscape software to identify hub genes.

Article Synopsis
  • Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major cancer threat worldwide with few treatment options, prompting research into prognosis and therapy for patients with hepatitis B (HBV)-related HCC.
  • The study analyzed data from three microarray datasets, uncovering 374 differentially expressed genes, including significant hub genes linked to poor patient prognosis.
  • Key genes like ZWINT and CDK1 were identified as potential biomarkers, suggesting they could help predict disease progression and guide new treatment approaches, while further research is needed on other hub genes.

Ovarian cancer develops insidiously and is frequently diagnosed at advanced stages. Screening for ovarian cancer is an effective strategy for reducing mortality. This study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the development of ovarian cancer and identify novel tumor biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of ovarian cancer.

Advanced Maternal Age Affects the Cryosusceptibility of Ovulated but not In Vitro Matured Mouse Oocytes.

Oocyte cryopreservation is offered to women of various age groups for both health and social reasons. Oocytes derived from either controlled ovarian stimulation or in vitro maturation (IVM) are cryopreserved via vitrification. As maternal age is a significant determinant of oocyte quality, there is limited data on the age-related susceptibility of oocytes to the vitrification-warming procedure alone or in conjunction with IVM.

Despite the increasing number of research endeavors dedicated to investigating the relationship between colorectal carcinoma (CRC) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the underlying pathogenic mechanism remains largely elusive. The aim of this study is to shed light on the molecular mechanism involved in the development of this comorbidity. The gene expression profiles of CRC (GSE90627) and HCC (GSE45267) were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database.
