Purpose: To determine the sensitivity and specificity of serum Cyr61 as a potential biomarker for the diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) and to assess the association between serum Cyr61 level and CRC clinicopathological status.
Methods: We used an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to measure serum Cyr61 in patients with CRC, patients with colorectal adenomas, and healthy controls. We also analyzed the relationship between serum Cyr61 and clinicopathological features of CRC patients. The levels of serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) were quantified using the Roche Cobas 6000 Analyzer. The sensitivity and specificity of Cyr61, CEA, CA19-9 and CEA + CA19-9 were evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis.
Results: The serum level of Cyr61 was significantly increased in CRC patients compared with colorectal adenoma patients and healthy controls (p < 0.001). Furthermore, the area under the ROC curve for Cyr61 was 0.935 (95 % confidence interval 0.902-0.968), higher than that for CEA + CA19-9 (0.827, 95 % confidence interval: 0.783-0.871). Use of a Cyr61 cutoff value of 92.0 pg/mL allowed distinguishing CRC patients and healthy controls with a sensitivity of 83 % and a specificity of 97 %. Among CRC patients, an elevated level of serum Cyr61 was significantly associated with more advanced TNM stage (p < 0.0042), lymph node metastasis (p < 0.0088), and vascular invasion (p = 0.0027).
Conclusion: Cyr61 has potential as a serum biomarker for the diagnosis of CRC and for assessment of the clinicopathological status of CRC.

Background & Aims: HIV accelerates liver fibrosis attributable to multiple etiologies, including HCV, HBV, and steatotic liver disease. Evidence also suggests that HIV infection itself is associated with liver fibrogenesis. Recent studies have implicated Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) and the upstream lysophosphatidic acid (LPA)/PI3K/AKT pathway as critical regulators of hepatic fibrogenesis, and suggest a connection to HIV-related liver fibrosis.

The global spread of SARS-CoV-2 has increased infections among pregnant women. This study aimed to explore placental pathology alterations and angiogenic factor levels in term pregnant women after SARS-CoV-2 infection in a retrospective single-center study. Additionally, we investigated the role and underlying mechanism of the vascular inflammation-promoting, cysteine-rich protein 61 (CYR61/CCN1) in this context.

Background: Preeclampsia (PE) is a multisystem pregnancy disorder that increases maternal-perinatal morbidity and mortality significantly. MicroRNA-155 (miR-155) overexpression in the sera of pregnant women has been linked to preeclampsia. Researchers discovered that miR-155 acts during pregnancy by down-regulating and reducing the cysteine-rich angiogenic inducer 61 (CYR61), which causes local ischemia as well as oxidative stress.

Objectives: Osteoporosis, a prevalent skeletal disorder characterized by reduced bone strength, is closely linked to the IGF system, crucial for skeletal metabolism. However, the precise nature of this relationship remains elusive. In this study, we employed Mendelian randomization (MR) to unravel the associations between genetically predicted serum IGF system member levels and osteoporosis.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common persistent arrhythmias among adult cardiovascular diseases. It is important to identify potential risk factors for AF. Members of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) family exert a variety of effects on various cell types in the context of the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases, and previous population-based studies indicate associations between IGF family members and AF.
