Laryngeal carcinoma is the second most common malignancy of the head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Therefore, there is an urgent need to understand the molecular mechanism of its metastasis. The present study was designed to investigate effects of miR-10b on the invasion and migration of laryngeal Hep-2 cells. We found that miR-10b had limited effects on cell proliferation; however, it can significantly promote the migration and invasion of Hep-2 cells. Further studies revealed that overexpression of miR-10b can induce the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of Hep-2 cells by acquiring mesenchymal spindle-like morphology and increasing the expression of N-cadherin (N-Cad) with a concomitant decrease of E-cadherin (E-Cad). However, the messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein level of transcription factors such as Snail, Slug, Twist and ZEB was not changed during this process. Bioinformatic analysis revealed that miR-10b can directly target CDH1 (E-Cad gene) at nucleotides 461 and 481 within the 3'-UTR. This was confirmed by the results that miR-10 downregulated the protein and mRNA levels of E-Cad via a time-dependent manner and luciferase analysis by use of four-nucleotide substitution in the core binding sites. The present study provided a better understanding of laryngeal carcinoma metastasis and the roles of miR-10b during this process.

serotype 2 ( type 2, SS2) is one of the zoonotic pathogens known to induce meningitis, septicemia, and arthritis in both pigs and humans, resulting in public health concerns. CbpD, also termed CrfP, is one of the choline-binding proteins (CBPs) that was found as a murein hydrolase in SS2 and plays crucial roles in natural genetic transformation under the control of ComRS-ComX regulatory system by a previous study. Nonetheless, the possible functions of CbpD in virulence and pathogenesis in SS2 remain unclear.

The respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) matrix protein plays key roles in the virus life cycle and is essential for budding, as it stimulates the optimal membrane curvature necessary for the emergence of viral particles. Resveratrol, a polyphenol (3,4',5-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene) produced by plants, exhibits pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammatory and antiviral activities. In this study, resveratrol was tested in HEp-2 (Epidermoid carcinoma of the larynx cell) cells for its post-infection effects, and recombinant M protein was produced to characterize the biophysical mechanisms underlying this interaction.

Background: Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas are the seventh most common cancer accounting for 90 % of malignant neoplasia of the upper respiratory system. KRAS is a very important oncogene, leading to the suppression of apoptosis, and promoting the pathogenesis and development of tumors. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are highly conserved, small noncoding RNA molecules aberrantly expressed in various pathologies including regulation of tumor and metastasis-associated genes.

The Anti-Nuclear Antibodies (ANA) test using Human Epithelial type 2 (HEp-2) cells in the Indirect Immuno-Fluorescence (IIF) assay protocol is considered the gold standard for detecting Connective Tissue Diseases. Computer-assisted systems for HEp-2 image analysis represent a growing field that harnesses the potential offered by novel machine learning techniques to address the classification of HEp-2 images and ANA patterns. In this study, we introduce an innovative platform based on transfer learning with pre-trained deep learning models.

Anti-nuclear mitotic apparatus (NuMA) 1 antibodies are uncommonly detected in routine antinuclear antibody (ANA) screening. We present the case of a 65-year-old female with rheumatoid arthritis undergoing golimumab biotherapy who developed lupus-like symptoms including photosensitivity, fatigue, weakness, myalgias, alopecia, oral ulcers, and worsening of arthritis. Elevated serum levels of NuMA-1 antibodies were detected using indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) on HEp-2 cells with a titer of 1:1000, but no other ANA patterns were associated.
