beta-Catenin/Tcf and NF-kappaB pathways play an important role in biological functions. We determined the underlying mechanisms of differential interaction between two pathways in various human cancer cell lines. NF-kappaB positively regulated beta-catenin/Tcf pathways in human glioblastoma, whereas it has an opposite effect on beta-catenin/Tcf pathways in colon, liver, and breast cancer cells. Expression of lucine zipper tumor suppressor 2 (lzts2) was positively regulated by NF-kappaB activity in colon, liver, and breast cancer cells, whereas negatively regulated in glioma cells. Downregulation of lzts2 increased the beta-catenin/Tcf promoter activity and inhibited NF-kappaB-induced modulation of the nuclear translocation of beta-catenin. These data indicate that the differential crosstalk between beta-catenin/Tcf and NF-kappaB pathway in various cancer cells is resulted from the differences in the regulation of NF-kappaB-induced lzts2 expression.

Fibrosis accounts for approximately one-third of disease-related deaths globally. Current therapies fail to cure fibrosis, emphasizing the need to identify new antifibrotic approaches. Fibrosis is defined by the excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) and resultant stiffening of tissue stroma.

This study utilizes single-cell RNA sequencing data to reveal the transcriptomic characteristics of breast cancer and normal epithelial cells. Nine significant cell populations were identified through stringent quality control and batch effect correction. Further classification of breast cancer epithelial cells based on the PAM50 method and clinical subtypes highlighted significant heterogeneity between triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and non-triple-negative breast cancer (NTNBC).

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most lethal malignancies worldwide and the most common form of liver cancer. Despite global efforts toward early diagnosis and effective treatments, HCC is often diagnosed at advanced stages, where conventional therapies frequently lead to resistance and/or high recurrence rates. Therefore, novel biomarkers and promising medications are urgently required.

Objectives: To evaluate the impact of Aquablation on circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in men with localized prostate cancer.

Methods: This prospective study included subjects with biopsy-positive mpMRI visible lesions (PIRADS ≥ 3) who underwent Aquablation. Ten ml blood samples were collected before, during and after the procedure to measure CTC counts using an immunofluorescence assay.
