Objectives: To determine the role of miR-190b in radio-sensitivity of gastric cancer (GC).
Results: In radio-resistant GC cells, down-regulation of miR-190b and up-regulation of Bcl-2 were observed. The protein expression of Bcl-2 was negatively regulated by miR-190b. Overexpression of miR-190b significantly decreased cell viability and enhanced radio-sensitivity of GC cells. Of note, these effects of miR-190b on GC cells radio-sensitivity were abolished by Bcl-2.
Conclusion: miR-190b confers radio-sensitivity of GC cells, possibly via negative regulation of Bcl-2.

Purpose: To investigate the role of NRF2 signalling in conferring superior prognosis in patients with HPV positive (HPV) head & neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) compared to HPV negative (HPV) HNSCC and develop molecular markers for selection of HPV HNSCC patients for treatment de-escalation trials.
Methods: NRF2 activity (NRF2, KEAP1, and NRF2-transcriptional targets), p16, and p53 levels between HPV HNSCC and HPV HNSCC in prospective and retrospective tumor samples as well as from TCGA database were compared. Cancer cells were transfected with HPV-E6/E7 plasmid to elucidate if HPV infection represses NRF2 activity and sensitizes to chemo-radiotherapy.

Cancer progression results from activation of various signaling networks. Among these, PI3K/Akt signaling contributes to proliferation, invasion, and inhibition of apoptosis. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a primary liver cancer with high incidence rate, especially in regions with high prevalence of viral hepatitis infection.

Radioresistance is one of the key obstacles that may lead to the failure of cancer treatment. The underlying mechanisms of radioresistance remain largely unknown; however, increasing evidence has shown that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in radiotherapy resistance of several cancers. In the present study, we demonstrated that radiation-elevated transcript (RET), a newly identified lnRNA, was highly expressed in cancer cells.

Poor response of tumors to radiotherapy is a major clinical obstacle. Because of the dynamic characteristics of the epigenome, identification of possible epigenetic modifiers may be beneficial to confer radio-sensitivity. This research was set to examine the modulation of ectodermal-neural cortex 1 (ENC1) in radio-resistance in breast carcinoma (BC).

A subset of patients receiving radiation therapy for pelvic cancer develop radiation cystitis, a complication characterized by mucosal cell death, inflammation, hematuria, and bladder fibrosis. Radiation cystitis can reduce bladder capacity, cause incontinence, and impair voiding function so severely that patients require surgical intervention. Factors influencing onset and severity of radiation cystitis are not fully known.
