Published: June 2016

Background: Various studies examined the relationship between FoxM1 overexpression with the clinical outcome in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but yielded conflicting results.

Methods: Electronic databases updated to Jan 01, 2015 were searched to find relevant studies. A meta-analysis was conducted with eligible studies which quantitatively evaluated the relationship between FoxM1 overexpression and survival of patients with NSCLC Survival data were aggregated and quantitatively analyzed.

Results: We performed a meta-analysis of seven studies (n=860 patients) that evaluated the correlation between FoxM1 overexpression and survival in patients with NSCLC. Combined hazard ratios suggested that FoxM1 overexpression was associated with poor prognosis of overall survival (OS) (HR =1.73, 95% CI: 1.32-2.14) in patients with NSCLC.

Conclusions: FoxM1 overexpression indicates a poor prognosis for patients with NSCLC.

Foot ulcers are amongst the most prevalent complications of diabetes, known for their delayed healing process. Recent research indicates that the transcription factor forkhead box M1 (FOXM1) plays a role in promoting diabetic ulcer repair. However, the precise mechanisms underlying FOXM1 functions in this context remain unclear.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common age-related disease that is correlated with a high number of senescent chondrocytes in joint tissues. Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein D (HNRNPD) is an RNA-binding protein whose expression imbalance is associated with cell senescence, but the role of HNRNPD in the occurrence and development of OA has not been reported. In this study, HNRNPD was found to be associated with the chondrocyte senescence process.

Integrative study of lung cancer adeno-to-squamous transition in EGFR TKI resistance identifies RAPGEF3 as a therapeutic target.

Although adeno-to-squamous transition (AST) has been observed in association with resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) in clinic, its causality, molecular mechanism and overcoming strategies remain largely unclear. We here demonstrate that squamous transition occurs concomitantly with TKI resistance in PC9-derived xenograft tumors. Perturbation of squamous transition via DNp63 overexpression or knockdown leads to significant changes in TKI responses, indicative of a direct causal link between squamous transition and TKI resistance.

Our primary objective was to identify genes critical for cutaneous melanoma (CM) and related typing, based on essential genes, to generate novel insights for clinical management and immunotherapy of patients with CM. We analyzed RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx), and sequencing data of 29 CM cell line from Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE) databases. Combined with DepMap database, 406 CM essential cancer genes were finally obtained.

The role of FOXM1 in acetylcysteine improving diabetic periodontitis.

Diabetic periodontitis (DP) stems from hyperglycemia-driven oxidative stress amplification and chronic inflammation, leading to periodontal tissue breakdown. Misregulated forkhead box protein M1 (FOXM1) play key roles in this process, exacerbating both inflammation and oxidative stress. In light of N-Acetylcysteine (NAC)'s potent anti-oxidative capacity and anti-inflammatory potential, understanding how it modulates these central pathways to alleviate DP holds high scientific and clinical importance.
