Background: Pituitary tumor-transforming gene-1 (PTTG1) is a transcription factor that can affect transcriptional activity, angiogenesis, and cell senescence. We examined PTTG1 mRNA and protein expression in gastric cancer (GC) cell lines and tissues to determine its value as a biomarker for GC diagnosis and therapy.
Methods: PTTG1 mRNA expression from 78 GC cases and paired adjacent normal mucosa (PCR cohort) as well as from five gastric cell lines was assessed using qRT-PCR. Nuclear and cytoplasmic RNA were extracted from two gastric cell lines to determine PTTG1 mRNA localization. PTTG1 protein expression from 98 GC cases, their paired adjacent normal mucosa, and 23 gastric intraepithelial neoplasia (GIN) cases was examined using immunohistochemistry (IHC cohort). The correlation between PTTG1 mRNA and protein expression and GC clinicopathological parameters was analyzed.
Results: PTTG1 mRNA expression in GC tissues and cell lines was significantly increased compared with adjacent normal gastric mucosa and normal gastric mucous cell lines (p < 0.05). PTTG1 expression was nuclear and cytoplasmic, with higher cytoplasmic expression. PTTG1 immunostaining significantly differed in GC (95.66 ± 20.65), GIN (84.00 ± 34.16), and normal adjacent mucosa (28 ± 22.25) (p < 0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that PTTG1 mRNA and protein expression are independent prognostic factors for GC patient survival.
Conclusion: Our results suggest that PTTG1 is a promising target for GC diagnosis and therapy.

Background: To determine the role of N-methyladenosine (mA) modification in the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME), as well as their association with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD).
Methods: Consensus clustering was performed to identify the subgroups with distinct immune or mA modification patterns using profiles from TCGA. A risk score model was constructed using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression and validated in two independent cohorts and LUAD tissue microarrays.

Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) PTTG3P has been demonstrated to participate in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by targeting the mRNA PTTG1. The present study aimed to investigate the diagnostic efficacy of serum lncRNA PTTG3P, mRNA PTTG1 and their combination for the diagnosis and prognosis of HCC. A total of 373 participants were enrolled in the present study, including 73 patients with HCC, 100 patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), 100 patients with liver cirrhosis (LC) and 100 healthy controls (HCs).

Article Synopsis
- - Psoriasis is linked to the rapid growth of skin cells, and the study focuses on how the protein IL-27 contributes to this process by activating certain genes in epidermal keratinocytes.
- - Researchers used bioinformatics to analyze mRNA profiles and discovered significant gene clusters related to cell proliferation and energy metabolism, identifying 6 key hub genes involved in these pathways.
- - The findings suggest that IL-27 boosts processes like glycolysis and mitochondrial activity, highlighting its potential role in the progression of psoriasis.

Lower-grade gliomas (LGGs), despite their generally indolent clinical course, are characterized by invasive growth patterns and genetic heterogeneity, which can lead to malignant transformation, underscoring the need for improved prognostic markers and therapeutic strategies. This study utilized single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and bulk RNA-seq to identify a novel cell type, referred to as "Prol," characterized by increased proliferation and linked to a poor prognosis in patients with LGG, particularly under the context of immunotherapy interventions. A signature, termed the Prol signature, was constructed based on marker genes specific to the Prol cell type, utilizing an artificial intelligence (AI) network that integrates traditional regression, machine learning, and deep learning algorithms.

Background: Osteosarcoma (OS) poses a significant clinical challenge, necessitating a comprehensive exploration of its molecular underpinnings.
Methods: This study explored the roles of PTTG family genes (PTTG1, PTTG2, and PTTG3P) in OS, employing a multifaceted approach encompassing molecular experiments, including OS cell lines culturing, RT-qPCR, bisulfite and Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) and experiments, including The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets-based validation, overall survival, gene enrichment, functional assays, and molecular docking analyses.
Results: Our findings reveal a consistent up-regulation of PTTG genes in OS cell lines, supported by RT-qPCR experiments and corroborated across various publically available expression datasets databases.
