In the present study, we investigated mRNA expression patterns of both SOCS5 and SOCS6 in various normal and cancer tissues using a commercially available Cancer Profiling Array. We found that SOCS5 and SOCS6 had similar expression patterns in most cancer and healthy individuals, suggesting that these two genes are transcriptionally co-regulated. Tissue-specific up- or down-regulation of SOCS5 and SOCS6 was observed in several cancer tissues. Most importantly, thyroid gland cancer tissues exhibited large reductions of both SOCS5 and SOCS6 expressions. In addition, mRNA and protein levels of SOCS6 were down-regulated in liver cancer tissues. The results from our study may contribute to understanding SOCS5 and SOCS6 expression regulation in various cancer tissues, and show that these two factors may be used for diagnosing cancer.

Background: Cisplatin (DDP) is the principal agent used for chemotherapy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Nevertheless, DDP resistance is an essential cause for a worse prognosis of patient. Therefore, this study proposes to discover features of miR-424-5p in DDP resistance of NSCLC.

Aim: The current study aimed to investigate the effect of valproic acid (VPA) on SOCS-1, SOCS-2, SOCS-3, SOCS-5, SOCS6, and SOCS-7 gene expression and cell growth inhibition in colon carcinoma IS1, IS2, and IS3 cell lines.
Background: Cancer is a process induced by the accumulation of epigenetic alterations such as DNA methylation and histone deacetylation. The DNA methylation and histone deacetylation of tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) have been shown in various cancers.

Objective: Epigenetic modifications in RNA are known to play critical roles in cell differentiation through regulating expressions of some key genes including members of the suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) family. The present study aimed to unveil the relationship of SOCS mRNA methylation induced by methyltransferase like 3 (METTL3) with Graves' disease (GD).
Methods: Differently expressed genes (DEG) in GD tissues were identified using microarray analysis and further validated using CD4 T cell microarray of GD tissues and isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs).

Recently an outbreak that emerged in Wuhan, China in December 2019, spread to the whole world in a short time and killed >1,410,000 people. It was determined that a new type of beta coronavirus called severe acute respiratory disease coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was causative agent of this outbreak and the disease caused by the virus was named as coronavirus disease 19 (COVID19). Despite the information obtained from the viral genome structure, many aspects of the virus-host interactions during infection is still unknown.

Background And Objectives: Human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) and human metapneumovirus (HMPV) are leading causes of upper and lower respiratory tract infections in non-immunocompetent subjects, yet the mechanisms by which they induce their pathogenicity differ significantly and remain elusive. In this study we aimed at identifying the gene interaction networks between the HRSV, HMPV respiratory pathogens and their host along with the different cell-signaling pathways associated with the above interactomes.
