EGCG, the main constituent of green tea, and sarcophytols A and B, isolated from a soft coral, inhibited tumor promotion by teleocidin in a two-stage carcinogenesis experiment on mouse skin. EGCG and sarcophytols showed inhibition of tumor development by chemical carcinogenesis. A possibility of developing these compounds as cancer chemopreventives for human beings is discussed.

Transmembrane integrin-associated protein functions as a potent innate immunity checkpoint and is upregulated by many types of malignant cells, including melanoma during tumor progression. Binding of to its target receptor, SIRPα, on myeloid cell lineages leads to the initiation of the downstream signaling cascades that inhibit innate immunity anti-tumor responses. Molecular mechanisms underlying upregulation of during melanoma progression remain largely unknown.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a cancer caused by inflammation, which affects the immune response and treatment outcomes. Finding new immune-related targets could improve HCC immunotherapy. New research suggests that TMEM family proteins can act as either tumor suppressors or oncogenes, but the role of TMEM101 in HCC development is unclear.

Objective: Gastric cancer (GC) is a globally common cancer characterized by high incidence and mortality worldwide. Advances in the molecular understanding of GC provide promising targets for GC diagnosis and therapy. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and their downstream regulators are regarded to be implicated in the progression of multiple types of malignancies.

Background: Long noncoding RNA, LINC01106 exhibits high expression in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) tumor tissues, but its functional role and regulatory mechanism in LUAD cells remain unclear.

Methods: LINC01106 expression was analyzed in LUAD tissues and its functional impact on LUAD cells was assessed. LUAD cells were silenced with sh-LINC01106 and injected into nude mice to investigate tumor growth.
