E2F-1 is the best-described member of the E2F family of transcriptional factors and is particularly interesting in view of its often opposing roles. Our purpose was to examine the immunohistochemical expression of E2F-1 in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and to correlate it with proliferation and apoptosis of the tumor, clinicopathological parameters and patient outcome, as well as with expression of the downstream molecules p53 and p21. The median percentage of E2F-1-expressing Hodgkin Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells was 80.2%. A significant positive correlation was found between expression of E2F-1 and p53 (p = 0.034). Following stratification of our cases, within the group harboring functional p53, a statistically significant inverse correlation was identified between E2F-1 and Topo IIa (p = 0.019). E2F-1 is up-regulated in the context of HL and its expression is inversely associated with proliferation. It seems that functional p53 can modulate the relationship between E2F-1 expression and tumor kinetics in HL.

Globally, the incidence and death rates associated with cancer persist in rising, despite considerable advancements in cancer therapy. Although some malignancies are manageable by a mix of chemotherapy, surgery, radiation, and targeted therapy, most malignant tumors either exhibit poor responsiveness to early identification or endure post-treatment survival. The prognosis for prostate cancer (PCa) is unfavorable since it is a perilous and lethal malignancy.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of mortality in both men and women due to genetic and epigenetic modifications. Our study focuses on fabricating phenmiazine ring leads by a functional group-based drug design to inhibit p53 -7A1W and MDM2-7AU9 proteins responsible for cancer cell growth. One hundred molecules are designed and allowed to bind inside the active site of 7A1W and 7AU9 protein using a glide dock platform and subjected to find MMGBSA.

The foremost feature of glioblastoma (GBM), the most frequent malignant brain tumours in adults, is a remarkable degree of intra- and inter-tumour heterogeneity reflecting the coexistence within the tumour bulk of different cell populations displaying distinctive genetic and transcriptomic profiles. GBM with primitive neuronal component (PNC), recently identified by DNA methylation-based classification as a peculiar GBM subtype (GBM-PNC), is a poorly recognized and aggressive GBM variant characterised by nodules containing cells with primitive neuronal differentiation along with conventional GBM areas. In addition, the presence of a PNC component has been also reported in IDH-mutant high-grade gliomas (HGGs), and to a lesser extent to other HGGs, suggesting that regardless from being IDH-mutant or IDH-wildtype, peculiar genetic and/or epigenetic events may contribute to the phenotypic skewing with the emergence of the PNC phenotype.
