AI Article Synopsis

  • The CRNDE gene, a long noncoding RNA, is found to be increased in gastric cancer and may play a role in regulating cell growth.
  • Research methods included assessing expression levels through qRT-PCR and examining cell viability with MTT assays, revealing that higher CRNDE levels correlated with increased growth and colony formation of gastric cancer cells.
  • The study highlights CRNDE's interaction with the miR-145 and its target E2F3, suggesting that CRNDE could be a potential target for gastric cancer therapies.

Article Abstract

Background/aims: The colorectal neoplasia differentially expressed (CRNDE) gene is a long noncoding RNA (lncRNAs) that is upregulated in colorectal cancer and glioma. Here, we investigated the regulatory function of CRNDE in gastric cancer (GC).

Methods: CRNDE and miR-145 expression were assayed by qRT-PCR, and E2F3 protein expression was measured by western blotting. A luciferase reporter assay was used to detect the direct regulation of miR-145 by CRNDE. Cell viability and colony formation of human GC cells were detected using MTT and colony formation assay, respectively.

Results: CRNDE was highly expressed in GC cell lines and tissues; overexpression of CRNDE increased GC cell viability and promoted colony formation. Knockdown of CRNDE did not result in loss of expression-related effects on cell proliferation and colony formation. Further investigation revealed that the miR-145 target gene E2F3 was strongly expressed following CRNDE competitive molecular sponging of miR-145.

Conclusion: CRNDE acted as a growth-promoting lncRNA in GC and maybe a potential target of GC treatment.

Background: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) has a high incidence rate and poor prognosis, and currently lacks effective therapies. Recently, peptide-based drugs have shown promise in cancer treatment. In this research, a new endogenous peptide called CBDP1 was discovered in ccRCC and its potential anti-cancer properties were examined.

Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic inflammatory disease characterised by painful, deep-seated nodules, abscesses, and draining tunnels in the skin of axillary, inguinal, genitoanal, or inframammary areas. In recent years, the body of knowledge in hidradenitis suppurativa has advanced greatly. This disorder typically starts in the second or third decade of life.

There is currently no cure or disease-modifying treatment for post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA). This study aims to assess the efficacy of dimethyl fumarate (DMF), a US-FDA approved drug for multiple sclerosis, as a treatment for PTOA. PTOA was induced in male Lewis rats by medial meniscal transection (MMT) surgery, and DMF was intra-articularly administered once, one week following surgery.

Department of Histology and Embryology, Faculty of Medicine, Collegium Medicum in Bydgoszcz, Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, Karłowicza 24, 85-092 Bydgoszcz, Poland.

Background: The literature reports that ezrin (EZR) is important as a linker between microfilaments and cellular environments. Moreover, it affects cancer cell migration, but the exact mechanism is not fully understood. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of EZR in the migration of two different types of cervical cancer cells-from primary lesion (SiHa) and lymph node metastases (HT-3).
