Article Abstract

Objective: To investigate the genes involved in pulmonary metastasis of human fibrosarcoma HT1080 cells in nude mice.

Methods: HT1080 cells were injected into the tail vein of BALB/ C nude mice. RNA samples were extracted from pulmonary metastatic tissues and normal control lung tissues, purified using Atlas Pure Total RNA labeling System (Clonetech Laboratories). cDNA probes labeled with 32P were prepared and hybridized to a cDNA membrane constructed with spots of 1176 human cancer related genes and radioactivities on the membrane were measeured by BAS 5000. The mRNA expression of gene FN1 was determined by real time RT-PCR using TaqMan methods. Furthermore, cells with FN1 expression were localized and obtained in situ in pulmonary metastatic foci by laser captured microdissection, and the FN1 expression was quantitated by real time RT-PCR.

Results: Of the total 1176 genes, 27 genes (2. 3%) revealed to be apparently up-regulated and 4 genes (0. 3% ) down-regulated. Real time RT-PCR analysis verified significant up-regulation of gene FN1. Laser captured microdissection/ real time RT-PCR analysis demonstrated up-regulated gene FN1 not in stroma cells but in tumor cell nests.

Conclusion: Gene FN1 expression in fibrosarcoma HT1080 cells may be involved in pulmonary metastasis.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a predominant cause of cancer-related mortality globally, noted for its propensity towards late-stage diagnosis and scarcity of effective treatment modalities. The process of metabolic reprogramming, with a specific emphasis on lipid metabolism, is instrumental in the progression of HCC. Nevertheless, the precise mechanisms through which lipid metabolism impacts HCC and its viability as a therapeutic target have yet to be fully elucidated.

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a degenerative autoimmune disease, often managed through symptomatic treatment. The co-occurrence of the reported extra-articular comorbidities such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and dementia may complicate the pathology of the disease as well as the treatment strategies. Therefore, in our study, we aim to elucidate the key genes, and regulatory elements implicated in the progression and association of these diseases, thereby highlighting the linked potential therapeutic targets.

Metastasis and recurrence are the primary obstacles to long-term survival in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. In this study, we employed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to comprehensively delineate the transcriptomic landscape of primary and liver metastatic CRCs, and revealed novel cellular crosstalk between cancer cell subpopulation and myofibroblastic CAFs (myCAFs) at single-cell resolution. We identified a cancer cell subpopulation termed stem/transient amplifying-like (stem/TA-like) cells, which expressed genes associated with stem cell-like characteristics and metastatic potential.
