A 53-year-old asymptomatic woman was found to have a pelvic mass at medical examination. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging revealed a 4-cm solid mass at the right adnexal region, which showed marked hyperintensity on T(2)-weighted imaging and marked enhancement on post-contrast T(1)-weighted imaging. Chemical-shift imaging showed slight but significant signal loss on out-of-phase images, which suggested the presence of intratumoral lipid. The resected specimen exhibited typical features of steroid cell tumor, and Oil Red O stain was positive for cytoplasmic lipid.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a widely used industrial compound commonly found in various everyday plastic products. Known for its endocrine-disrupting properties, BPA can enter the human body through multiple pathways. Prenatal exposure to BPA not only disrupts placental structure and function but also interferes with normal steroid metabolism.

The central nervous system is a well-known steroidogenic tissue producing, among others, cholesterol metabolites such as neuroactive steroids, oxysterols and steroid hormones. It is well known that these endogenous molecules affect several receptor classes, including ionotropic GABAergic and NMDA glutamatergic receptors in neurons. It has been shown that also ionotropic purinergic (P2X) receptors are cholesterol metabolites' targets.

Objective: Successful embryo implantation is contingent upon the intricate interaction between the endometrium and the blastocyst. Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) signifies the clinical challenge of failing pregnancy post-transfer of high-quality embryos, fresh or frozen, in at least three in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles, often in women under 40 years. Recent studies identify impaired blastocyst maternal tissue communication among recurrent implantation failure causes.

Previous studies have revealed the essential role of lysosomes in human diseases, including cancer. However, there is a lack of in-depth systematic research on its function in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC). In this project, we collected the public dataset of KIRC and selected lysosomal genes tightly linked with survival.
