Chemoresistance to anticancer drugs substantially reduces survival in epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC). Here, microarray analysis showed that collagen type XI alpha 1 (COL11A1) is a chemotherapy response-associated gene. Chemoresistant cells expressed higher COL11A1 and c/EBPβ than chemosensitive cells. COL11A1 or c/EBPβ downregulation suppressed chemoresistance, whereas COL11A1 overexpression attenuated sensitivity to cisplatin and paclitaxel.The c/EBPβ binding site in the COL11A1 promoter was identified as the major determinant of cisplatin- and paclitaxel-induced COL11A1 expression. Immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence showed that in resistant cells, Akt and PDK1 were highly expressed and that anticancer drugs enhanced binding activity between COL11A1 and PDK1 binding and attenuated PDK1 ubiquitination and degradation. Conversely, chemosensitive cells showed decreased activity of COL11A1 binding to PDK1 and increased PDK1 ubiquitination, which were reversed by COL11A1 overexpression. Analysis of 104 EOC patients showed that high COL11A1 mRNA levels are significantly associated with poor chemoresponse and clinical outcome.

Congenital anterior segment anomalies are disorders that affect the development of the eye and cause severe visual impairment. The molecular basis of congenital anterior segment anomalies is not well known. In this study, genome sequencing was performed on 27 families from diverse ethnicities with congenital anterior segment anomalies and 11 variants were identified, most of which were novel and family specific.

Auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) is often missed by standard hearing tests, accounting for up to 10% of hearing impairments (HI) and commonly linked to variants in 23 genes. We assessed 122 children with HI, including 102 with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and 20 with ANSD. SNHL patients were genotyped for common variants using qPCR, while ANSD patients underwent whole exome sequencing, with variants analyzed across 249 genes.

Effect of COL11A1 on oral squamous cell carcinoma.

J Stomatol Oral Maxillofac Surg

December 2024

Department of Stomatology, The Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University, PR China. Electronic address:

Article Synopsis
  • Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common cancer in the oral cavity, but its prognosis is generally poor, highlighting the need for better understanding of its biology.
  • Researchers analyzed gene expression data from GEO, identifying over 5,100 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and key signaling pathways linked to OSCC, such as TGF-β/SMAD and PI3K-Akt.
  • The study found that COL11A1 is highly expressed in OSCC and may play a significant role in the disease's development by interacting with specific signaling pathways, suggesting it could be a potential target for future treatments.*
