Objective: PIAS3 is the endogenous inhibitor of STAT3, which has been implicated in the pathogenesis of many cancers. However, the effect of PIAS3 on human tumors remains elusive. The aim of this article is to investigate the expression of PIAS3 in gastric carcinoma and its adjacent non-tumor tissues.
Methods: Samples were taken from 30 patients with gastric cancer, which included tumor or non-tumor tissues in the excised sections. The expression of PIAS3 protein was detected by immunocytochemistry, and that of mRNA by in situ hybridization. The results were semi-quantitative analyzed by using cell count and color depth to stage.
Results: The expression levels of PIAS3 protein and mRNA were significantly lower in gastric cancerous tissues than in its adjacent non-tumor tissues, and had a close relation with tumor size and differentiation, but not with age, gender and lymphatic metastasis in gastric carcinoma. The more large in size and poorly in differentiation, the more low PIAS3 expression was.
Conclusion: Loss of PIAS3 expression may be an important characteristic of gastric cancer and suggest vicious degree of the tumor.

Background: Cancer remains one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide, characterized by uncontrolled cell proliferation and metastasis. Protein Inhibitor of Activated STAT (PIAS) family genes, comprising PIAS1, PIAS2, PIAS3, and PIAS4, are emerging as significant players in cancer biology due to their roles in SUMOylation, transcriptional regulation, and modulation of signal transduction pathways. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of PIAS family genes from a pan-cancer viewpoint.

Article Synopsis
- Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common gynecological cancer in the U.S., with obesity contributing to 57% of cases, emphasizing the need to study its molecular mechanisms in relation to obesity.
- The research found that obese EC patients had higher levels of extracellular vesicles (EVs) carrying oncogenic proteins, which are linked to increased cancer growth, inflammation, and changes in protein expression in both adipose and uterine tissues.
- Treatments with small molecule inhibitors like HO-3867 and Metformin were effective in reducing EV secretion, slowing cancer cell proliferation, and inhibiting the early stages of cancer development in high-fat diet-induced models.

Background: Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is a member of the cytoplasmic inducible transcription factors and plays an important role in mediating signals from cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors. We and others have found that STAT3 directly regulates pro-fibrotic signaling in the kidney. The STAT3 protein-protein interaction plays an important role in activating its transcriptional activity.

Post-translational SUMOylation of nuclear and cytosolic proteins maintains homeostasis in eukaryotic cells and orchestrates programmed responses to changes in metabolic demand or extracellular stimuli. In excitable cells, SUMOylation tunes the biophysical properties and trafficking of ion channels. Ion channel SUMOylation status is determined by the opposing enzyme activities of SUMO ligases and deconjugases.

Colitis is a chronic bowel disease characterized by damage to the lining of the large intestine, with its precise underlying causes remaining incompletely understood. In this study, we provide evidence that circular RNA circNlgn plays a pivotal role in promoting the development of colitis. Colitis patients produce significant higher levels of circNlgn.
