Background And Aim: DOC-2/DAB2 interactive protein gene (DAB2IP) is a novel member of the Ras GTPase-activating protein family and plays a tumor suppressive role in cancer progression, but its function in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear. This aims of this study were to analyze the clinicopathological features of DAB2IP expression in HCC, and to determine the effect of DAB2IP on HCC cell behaviors in vitro.
Methods: The expression of DAB2IP was detected in hepatocyte cell line and HCC cell lines by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and western blot. DAB2IP expression was then examined in 120 cases of clinical paraffin-embedded HCC tissue by immunohistochemistry (IHC). 3-(4,5)-dimethylthiahiazo (-z-y1)-3,5-di- phenytetrazoliumromide (MTT) method and in vitro invasive assay were finally performed to evaluate the effect of DAB2IP depletion on cell proliferation or invasion of HCC cells.
Results: DAB2IP expression was lower in HCC cell lines or tissues than in hepatocyte cell lines, adjacent cirrhotic livers or normal livers (P < 0.05). Its expression was positively correlated with tumor size (P = 0.01). Patients with lower DAB2IP expression had shorter overall survival time (P = 0.013). DAB2IP suppresses proliferation and invasion of HCC cells in vitro.
Conclusion: DAB2IP is a valuable marker for progression of HCC patients. Downregulation of DAB2IP is associated with poor prognosis in HCC patients. DAB2IP silence alone is sufficient to promote HCC cell proliferation and invasion in vitro.

Despite proven therapy options for estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast tumors, a substantial number of patients with ER+ breast cancer exhibit relapse with associated metastasis. Loss of expression of RasGAPs leads to poor outcomes in several cancers, including breast cancer. Mining the The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) breast cancer RNA-Seq dataset revealed that low expression of the RasGAP DAB2IP was associated with a significant decrease in relapse-free survival in patients with Luminal A breast cancer.

Breakthroughs in surgical and medical techniques have significantly improved outcomes for children with congenital heart disease (CHD), but research continues to address the ongoing challenge of organ dysfunction after surgery, particularly in neonates and infants. Our study explored circular RNAs (circRNAs) within plasma-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) in neonates and infants undergoing CHD surgery. Post-surgery EV circRNAs showed dramatic expression changes between organ dysfunction (OD) and control groups.

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD) is a common complication of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) that result in significant morbidity and mortality. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying RA-ILD is crucial for effective prevention. This study aims to identify the specific molecule that mediate the causal association between RA and ILD, as well as to explore its potential mechanisms in the pathogenesis of RA-ILD.

Our study examines the immunoexpression patterns of Megalin, Cubilin, Caveolin-1, Gipc1 and Dab2IP in the embryonic development (E) and postnatal (P) mouse kidney, with a focus on differentiating patterns between wild-type (wt) and , () mice. Immunofluorescence revealed raised immunoexpression of receptors Megalin and Cubilin at the ampulla/collecting ducts and convoluted tubules across all developmental stages, with the most prominent immunoexpression observed in the convoluted tubules and the parietal epithelium of the Bowman's capsule. Quantitative analysis showed a higher percentage of Megalin and Cubilin in wt compared to mice at E13.

Background: Increasing evidence had proved that some circular RNA (circRNA) exerted critical roles in tumors progression by functioning as "microRNAs (miRNAs) sponges" to regulate their targeted genes.
Methods: circFAM114A2 and miR-647 expression was measured in CRC tissues and cells by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), and the prognostic value of circFAM114A2 evaluated by Kaplan-Meier survival curve. Subsequently, wounding healing and transwell assays were performed to assess cell proliferation, migration, and invasion.
