Aim: To determine the expression of Ring Box-1 (RBX-1) protein in prostate carcinoma (PCa) and the association between RBX-1 expression and clinicopathologic prognostic parameters.
Material And Methods: Relevant data such as age, preoperative serum PSA values, and tumor stage were obtained from 51 patients' with PCa record who underwent radical prostatectomy between January 2010 and March 2014. Hematoxylin-eosin stained pathology slides were evaluated by 2 pathologists blinded to patients' data in order to determine Gleason grade groups, tumor stage, tumor volume, capsule invasion, lymphovascular invasion, perineural invasion, and seminal vesicle invasion. Immunoreactivity scoring system (IRS) was used to determine RBX-1 expressions.
Results: A statistically significant difference was determined in terms of RBX-1 expression between non tumoral prostate tissue, high grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (H-PIN) and carcinoma foci (P = 0.001). RBX-1 expression in the Gleason pattern 4 was higher than the Gleason pattern 3 and H-PIN foci as well as non tumoral prostate tissue. Likewise, in cases with PSA levels of>10.1ng/ml, RBX-1 expression was higher than those≤10ng/ml. Moreover, RBX-1 expression of stage II cases was higher than stage I (P = 0.019), RBX-1 expression of stage III higher than stage I cases (P = 0.044). However, RBX-1 expression was not related with clinicopathologic parameters including patient age, tumor volume, lymphovascular invasion, perineural invasion, seminal vesicle invasion, or capsule invasion.
Conclusions: RBX-1 protein is overexpressed in PCa and associated with clinicopathologic prognostic parameters related with biological potential of the aggressive disease. Further studies of basic and molecular science are needed to reveal clinical and therapeutic implications of RBX-1 in PCa.

Atrial remodeling in diabetes is partially attributed to NF-κB/TGF-β signal transduction pathway activation. We examined whether the hyperglycemia-induced increased expression of NF-κB/TGF-β was dependent upon protein kinase C-β (PKCβ) and tested the hypothesis that selective inhibition of PKCβ using ruboxistaurin (RBX) can reduce NF-κB/TGF-β expression and inhibit abnormal atrial remodeling in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. The effects of PKCβ inhibition on NF-κB/TGF-β signal transduction pathway-mediated atrial remodeling were investigated in STZ-induced diabetic rats.

As developmental biologists in the age of genome editing, we now have access to an ever-increasing array of tools to manipulate endogenous gene expression. The auxin-inducible degradation system allows for spatial and temporal control of protein degradation via a hormone-inducible F-box protein, transport inhibitor response 1 (TIR1). In the presence of auxin, TIR1 serves as a substrate-recognition component of the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex SKP1-CUL1-F-box (SCF), ubiquitinating auxin-inducible degron (AID)-tagged proteins for proteasomal degradation.

Objective: To determine the relationship between RING-box protein 1 (RBX-1) expression and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with prognostic factors.
Methods: A total of 88 patients who underwent radical/partial nephrectomy between January 2009 and January 2016 have been included in our study. The age, gender, tumor location, tumor size, and tumor-node-metastasis stage of each patient was evaluated.

Background: Ring Box Protein-1 (RBX-1), a component of SCF E3 ubiquitin ligases, has a crucial role in bladder urothelial cell carcinoma (UCC) carcinogenesis and progression.
Objectives: In the present study, it is aimed to determine the expression of RBX-1 protein in bladder UCC and the association between tumor grade, stage and RBX-1 expression.
Methods: Ninety UCC samples and 20 samples containing foci of normal bladder urothelium were recruited and analyzed immunohistochemically in terms of RBX-1 expression.
