Background. Significances of CD133 mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of gastric adenocarcinoma (GC) patients were investigated. Methods. Correlations of CD133 mRNA expression in PBMCs on clinicopathological parameters or CD133 protein expression were analyzed. Receiver operating characteristic curve according to bright scale value (BSV) of CD133 mRNA was used to group patients for prognosis analysis. Results. BSV of preoperative CD133 mRNA in PBMCs in GC was significantly higher than that in volunteers or in GU. Invasive depth or metastatic lymph node number for higher BSV of preoperative CD133 mRNA and invasive depth or lymphatic vessel invasion for higher BSV of postoperative CD133 mRNA in the PBMCs were identified. Patients with CD133(+) expression in primary lesion had a significantly higher expression of preoperative CD133 mRNA in the PBMCs. The expression of preoperative or postoperative CD133 mRNA in PBMCs related positively to CD133 mRNA expression in primary lesion. Patients with higher expression of preoperative or postoperative CD133 mRNA shared significantly shorter survival compared with that in lower expression group. Conclusion. Higher levels of preoperative or postoperative CD133 mRNA in PBMCs of GC correlated positively to the lymphatic metastasis and the BSV of CD133 mRNA in primary lesion, indicating the poorer survival.

Choroidal involution is a common feature of age-related ischemic retinopathies such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It is now well recognized that endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are essential to endothelial repair processes and in maintaining vascular integrity. However, the contribution of EPCs and the role of senescence in age-related choroidal vascular degeneration remain to be investigated.

Background: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is an aggressive brain tumor that primarily affects adults. The Stupp Protocol, which includes surgical resection, chemoradiation, and monotherapy with temozolomide (TMZ), is the standard treatment regimen for GBM. However, repeated use of TMZ leads to resistance in GBM cells, resulting in a poor prognosis for patients.

Article Synopsis
- The study highlights the role of squalene epoxidase (SQLE) in the progression and recurrence of high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC), showing its significant upregulation in cancer samples and association with poor patient outcomes.
- SQLE promotes cancer cell growth by driving proliferation and inhibiting apoptosis, while also enhancing stem-like properties in cancer cells, making it a key factor in maintaining HGSOC stemness.
- Additionally, the research indicates that SQLE mRNA stability is influenced by specific modifications and binding proteins, suggesting that targeting SQLE could be a promising strategy for improving HGSOC prognosis and treatment.

Development of aptatheranostics for glioblastoma (GB) requires investigating aptamer interactions with cells. The paper has described flow cytometry (FC) assessment of direct interactions of fluorescent anti-CD133 aptamers with cells, focusing on cell cultures derived from patient GB (CCPGB). Conventional cell lines with different levels of CD133 mRNA, Caco-2 and HCT116, were used to compare interactions with known 2'FY-RNA aptamer A15 and DNA aptamers of Ap and Cs series, labeled with FAM and Cy5.

Background: Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare malignant peritoneal tumor that readily recurs and metastasizes. Studies have shown that cancer stem cells (CSCs) play an important role in tumor recurrence, metastasis, and prognosis.
Objective: In this study, our aim was to isolate CSCs from various tissues of PMP patients and compare their proliferation, migration, and anti-inflammatory abilities.
