Tumor invasion and migration obstructs the treatment and prognosis of cancer. In this research, we investigated the effect of oroxylin A, a natural compound extracted from Scutellaria radix, the root of Scutellaria baicalensis, on inhibition of the invasion and migration of three different tumor cell lines: MCF-7, DU145, and HepG2. The results suggested that oroxylin A could inhibit hypoxia-induced migration and invasion of the three cell lines mentioned above. To study the detailed mechanisms, studies were carried out on MCF-7 cells and it was found that oroxylin A could regulate the expression of related markers in MCF-7 cells including E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and Vimentin. It was also found that oroxylin A inhibited the hypoxia-induced invasion and migration of MCF-7 cells by suppressing the Notch pathway. Oroxylin A inhibited N1ICD translocating to the nucleus and binding to epithelial-mesenchymal transition-related transcription factor Snail, thus suppressing the invasion and migration of MCF-7 cells. Therefore, oroxylin A is expected to be a promising candidate for antimetastasis treatment through suppression of the hypoxia-induced Notch pathway.

Tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) is a common malignant oral cancer characterized by substantial invasion, a high rate of lymph node and distant metastasis, and a high recurrence rate. This study aims to provide new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of TSCC patients by exploring the related mechanisms that affect the migration and invasion of TSCC and inhibit the migration and spread of cancer cells. The results indicated the rate of high expression of IL-17 in cancer tissues was greater than that in tongue tissues, and the expression of IL-17 was related to the TNM stage.

Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) exhibits a high frequency of neural invasion (NI). Schwann cells (SCs) have been shown to be reprogrammed to facilitate cancer cell migration and invasion into nerves. Since extracellular vesicles (EVs) affect the tumour microenvironment and promote metastasis, the present study analysed the involvement of EVs from pancreatic cancer cells and their microenvironment in altering SC phenotype as part of the early events in the process of NI.

Background: Exosomes derived from cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) can affect tumor microenvironment (TME) of thyroid cancer (TC). The cAMP response element binding protein 1 (CREB1) acts as a transcription factor to participate in cancer development. Currently, we aimed to explore the molecular mechanism of exosome-associated CREB1 and C-C motif chemokine ligand 20 (CCL20) in TC.

Objective: The aim of this work is to identify putative hub genes for the advancement of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and determine the fundamental mechanisms.
Methods: We employed multiple bioinformatics techniques to screen hub genes. Key hub gene expression levels in ccRCC were assessed.

Lung cancer, particularly non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Resistance to platinum-based chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, significantly limits treatment efficacy. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have emerged as key regulators of cancer progression and chemotherapy resistance due to their stable structure, which protects them from degradation.
