Aim: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease. Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) plays a role in regulation of inflammation. The role of SIRT1 in endometriosis remains unknown. We here addressed the anti-inflammatory effects of SIRT1 on endometriosis.

Methods: The expression of SIRT1 in human ovarian endometriomas and eutopic endometria were examined using immunohistochemistry and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Endometriotic stromal cells (ESC) obtained from endometriomas were exposed to either resveratrol or sirtinol, an activator or inhibitor of sirtuins, respectively, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-induced interleukin (IL)-8 release from the ESC was assessed at mRNA and protein levels.

Results: Both immunochemistry and RT-PCR demonstrated that SIRT1 was expressed in ESC and normal endometrial stromal cells. Resveratrol suppressed TNF-α-induced IL-8 release from the ESC in a dose-dependent manner while sirtinol increased IL-8 release.

Conclusion: These opposing effects of SIRT1-related agents suggest that IL-8 release from the ESC is modulated through the SIRT1 pathway. Resveratrol may have the potential to ameliorate local inflammation in endometriomas.

Ovarian cancer (OC) ranks as the fifth leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States, posing a significant threat to female health. Late-stage diagnoses, driven by elusive symptoms often masquerading as gastrointestinal issues, contribute to a concerning 70% of cases being identified in advanced stages. While early-stage OC brags a 90% cure rate, progression involving pelvic organs or extending beyond the peritoneal cavity drastically diminishes it.

Stem cell transplantation is a promising strategy to establish neural relays in situ for spinal cord injury (SCI) repair. Recent research has reported short-term survival of exogenous cells, irrespective of immunosuppressive drugs (ISD), results in similar function recovery, though the mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to validate this short-term repair effect and the potential mechanisms in large animals.

Background: The persistently high mortality and morbidity rates of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain a global concern. Notably, the disruptions in mitochondrial cholesterol metabolism (MCM) play a pivotal role in the progression and development of HCC, underscoring the significance of this metabolic pathway in the disease's etiology. The purpose of this research was to investigate genes associated with MCM and develop a model for predicting the prognostic features of patients with HCC.

Background: Regulatory T cells (Tregs) play a pivotal role in the development, prognosis, and treatment of breast cancer. This study aimed to develop a Treg-associated gene signature that contributes to predict prognosis and therapy benefits in breast cancer.

Methods: Treg-associated genes were screened based on single-cell RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) in TISCH2 database and the bulk RNA-seq in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database.

Statement Of The Problem: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common type of oral cancer. During the invasion, tumour cells break through the basement membrane and penetrate the connective tissue to interact with the extracellular matrix. An attempt was made to evaluate the connective tissue changes in different grades of OSCCs, oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) and Oral Epithelial Dysplasias.
