Erythroid dysplasia is a common feature of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Currently available information about the immunophenotypic features of normal and dysplastic erythropoiesis is scarce and restricted to relatively few markers. Here we studied the expression of CD117, CD35 and CD44 throughout the normal (n=16) and dysplastic (n=48) bone marrow erythroid maturation. CD35 emerged as an early marker of CD34(+) erythroid-committed precursors, which is expressed before CD105 and remains positive thereafter. MDS patients (with and without morphologic dyserythropoiesis) displayed overall increased expression of CD44, associated with slight alterations on CD35 expression, suggesting that phenotypic alterations in MDS may precede morphologic dysplasia. In turn, MDS patients with anemia showed increased expression of CD117.

Doublecortin-like kinase 1 (DCLK1) has been revealed to be involved in modulating cancer stemness and tumor progression, but its role in prostate cancer (PCa) remains obscure. Castration-resistant and metastatic PCa exhibit aggressive behaviors, and current therapeutic approaches have shown limited beneficial effects on the overall survival rate of patients with advanced PCa. This study aimed to investigate the biological role and potential molecular mechanism of DCLK1 in the progression of PCa.

The underlying mechanisms between cancer stem cells (CSC) and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in pancreatic cancer (PC) remain unclear. In this study, we identified TGIF2 as a target gene of CSC using sncRNA and machine learning. TGIF2 is closely related to the expression of SOX2, EGFR, and E-cadherin, indicating poor prognosis.

Background: Lung cancer is a medical ailment with high mortality and prevalence rates. Artemisinin (ART) and its derivatives exhibit anti-cancer properties against various malignancies, including lung cancer. However, further research is required to determine the precise anti-cancer mechanisms of ART.

The γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GGT) is an important tumor marker, which has been reported to be firmly associated with the developmental stage of liver cancer. Therefore, it makes sense to image and monitor γ-GGT level and design γ-GGT-responsive prodrug for integrated diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer. Herein, we prepare a doxorubicin (Dox) prodrug for imaging γ-GGT and on-demand treating liver cancer.
