RUNX3 aberrations play a pivotal role in the oncogenesis of breast, gastric, colon, skin and lung tissues. The aim of this study was to characterize further the expression of RUNX3 in lung cancers. To achieve this, a lung cancer tissue microarray (TMA), frozen lung cancer tissues and lung cell lines were examined for RUNX3 expression by immunohistochemistry, while the TMA was also examined for EGFR and p53 expression. RUNX3 promoter methylation status, and EGFR and KRAS mutation status were also investigated. Inactivation of RUNX3 was observed in 70% of the adenocarcinoma samples, and this was associated with promoter hypermethylation but not biased to EGFR/KRAS mutations. Our results suggest a central role of RUNX3 downregulation in pulmonary adenocarcinoma, which may not be dependent of other established cancer-causing pathways and may have important diagnostic and screening implications.

Article Synopsis
- * Using bioinformatics and animal experiments, researchers found that low levels of B2M are linked to reduced immune function and increased expression of immune checkpoint molecules in patients with HAPE.
- * Results suggest that measuring B2M levels in peripheral blood could help with diagnosing, assessing treatment effectiveness, and predicting outcomes for HAPE patients.

Article Synopsis
- Myeloid/natural killer (NK) cell precursor acute leukemia (MNKPL) is proposed as a unique leukemia type but lacks international consensus due to its rarity and unclear molecular features.
- Multi-omics analysis shows that MNKPL is different from other types of leukemia and reveals specific genetic markers, such as NOTCH1 and RUNX3 activation, along with BCL11B downregulation.
- A case study indicates poor patient outcomes even after treatment, but MNKPL cells are sensitive to the drug L-asparaginase, potentially improving treatment options.

Background: Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a common T cell-mediated oral mucosal immune inflammatory disease. Intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) are a unique subset of T cells that play an important role in regulating immune response. This study aims to investigate the phenotype and the differentiation mechanism of IELs in OLP.

Aim: The impaired function of tubular mitochondria is critical in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) progression. RUNX3 is down-regulated in DKD models. We intend to explore the effects of RUNX3 on mitochondrial dysfunction and renal tubule injury in DKD and related mechanisms.

Long noncoding RNA MIR17HG was involved with the progression of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but specific mechanisms of MIR17HG-mediated immune escape of NSCLC cells were still unknown. The present study investigated the function of MIR17HG on regulatory T cell (Treg)-mediated immune escape and the underlying mechanisms in NSCLC. Expression of MIR17HG and miR-17-5p in NSCLC tissue samples were detected using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR).
