Background: Fbxw7 is a tumor suppressor through ubiquitination and degradation of multiple oncoproteins. Loss of Fbxw7 is frequently observed in various human cancers. In this study, we examined the role of Fbxw7 expression in colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) and its mechanism.
Methods: Fifty-six patients with CRLM who undergo curative resection were enrolled. Fbxw7 in tumor tissue was determined by immunohistochemistry. Patients were divided into two groups, the Fbxw7 high and low groups. Clinicopathological factors including miR-223 expression were compared between the high (n = 32) and low Fbxw7 groups (n = 24).
Results: Fbxw7 expression in tumor tissues was significantly lower than that in normal tissues. The disease-free survival in the low Fbxw7 group was significantly worse than that in the high Fbxw7 group, and 3 years disease-free survival of the low and high Fbxw7 groups were 12.5% and 47.0%, respectively (P = 0.023). On multivariate analysis, loss of Fbxw7 was detected as one of the independent risk factors for recurrence of CRLM (hazard ratio: 2.390, P = 0.017). Likewise, Fbxw7 expression inversely correlated to miR-223 expression (P = 0.017).
Conclusion: Loss of Fbxw7 in tumor tissues could be a reliable predictor of recurrence after hepatectomy in patients with CRLM, and miR-223 might be a possible regulator of Fbxw7.

Uterine carcinosarcomas (UCS) are high-grade biphasic neoplasms with generally poor outcomes. Based on The Cancer Genome Atlas molecular classification of endometrial carcinomas, the majority of UCS are classified as copy-number high/serous-like (p53-abnormal); however, a small subset represent other molecular subtypes, including those that harbor POLE mutations. We identified 11 POLE-mutated (POLEmut) UCS across 3 institutions and assessed the clinical, histopathologic, immunohistochemical, and molecular features of these tumors.

Myelin, along with the oligodendrocytes (OLs) that produce it, is essential for proper central nervous system (CNS) function in vertebrates. Although the accurate targeting of myelin to axons and its maintenance are critical for CNS performance, the molecular pathways that regulate these processes remain poorly understood. Through a combination of zebrafish genetics, mouse models, and primary OL cultures, we found FBXW7, a recognition subunit of an E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, is a regulator of adult myelination in the CNS.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading global cause of illness and death. There is a need for identification of better prognostic markers beyond traditional clinical variables like grade and stage. Previous research revealed that abnormal expression of cytokeratin 7 (CK7) and loss of the intestinal-specific Special AT-rich sequence-binding protein 2 (SATB2) are linked to poor CRC prognosis.

Introduction: Secondary genetic alterations, which contribute to the dysregulation of cell cycle progression and lymphoid specialization, are frequently observed in B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). As IKZF1 and BTG1 deletions are associated with a worse outcome in B-ALL, this study aimed to address whether they synergistically promote glucocorticoid resistance.
Methods: Small interfering RNA was used to downregulate either IKZF1, or BTG1, or both genes in the 207 B-ALL cell line.
