The insensitivity of hepatocellular carcinoma to chemotherapy is associated with alternation in tumor cell cycling. This current study was designed to investigate the impact of p15 silencing on the sensitivity of Human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells to cisplatin. HepG2/CDDP/1.6 and HepG2/CDDP/2.0 cells were induced by culture with increased doses of cisplatin and their sensitivities to cis-Diamine dichloroplatinum (CDDP) were determined by 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT). The impacts of p15 silencing on the cell cycling and P-gp expression were characterized by flow cytometry, RT-PCR and Western blot assays, respectively. Knockdown of p15 expression dramatically reduced the relative levels of p15 expression and the frequency of phase G1, promoting cell cycling. On the other hand, knockdown of p15 expression significantly up-regulated the expression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) in HepG2/CDDP/2.0 cells, associated with the increased resistance of HepG2 cells to CDDP in vitro. In conclusion, the p15 may be a critical regulator of the development of CDDP resistance in HepG2 cells.

Bisphenol A exposure during gestation and lactation in mice: sex-specific consequences on oligodendrocytes and myelination.

Bisphenol A (BPA), a ubiquitous environmental endocrine disruptor, is suspected of disturbing brain development through largely unknown cellular and molecular mechanisms. In the central nervous system, oligodendrocytes are responsible for forming myelin sheaths, which enhance the propagation of action potentials along axons. Disruption of axon myelination can have lifelong consequences, making oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelination critical stages of brain development.

Background: Idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIPs), such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features, present diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to their heterogeneous nature. This study aimed to identify intrinsic molecular signatures within the lung microenvironment of these IIPs through proteomic analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF).
Methods: Patients with IIP (n=23) underwent comprehensive clinical evaluation including pre-treatment bronchoscopy and were compared with controls without lung disease (n=5).
The oncogenic lncRNA MIR503HG suppresses cellular senescence counteracting supraphysiological androgen treatment in prostate cancer.

Background: The androgen receptor (AR), a ligand-dependent transcription factor, plays a key role in regulating prostate cancer (PCa) growth. The novel bipolar androgen therapy (BAT) uses supraphysiological androgen levels (SAL) that suppresses growth of PCa cells and induces cellular senescence functioning as a tumor suppressive mechanism. The role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the regulation of SAL-mediated senescence remains unclear.

Background And Purpose: As a highly heterogeneous cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) shows different response rates to the multi-kinase inhibitor lenvatinib. Thus, it is important to explore genetic biomarkers for precision lenvatinib therapy in HCC.
Experimental Approach: The effect and mechanism of AXIN1 mutation on HCC were revealed by cell proliferation assay, long-term clone formation assay, sphere formation assay and small molecule inhibitor library screening.

Cardiovascular disorders (CVDs) are a major global health concern, but their underlying molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. Recent research highlights the role of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), particularly ANRIL, in cardiovascular development and disease. ANRIL, located in the human genome's 9p21 region, significantly regulates cardiovascular pathogenesis.
