Aim Of Study: The current meta-analysis investigated the correlation between breast cancer type 1 (BRCA1) promoter methylation and the clinicopathological features of breast cancer (BC).
Materials And Methods: An electronic literature search was performed to identify and select cohort studies, by employing stringent inclusion and exclusion criteria, for data relevant to promoter methylation of BRCA1 and BC. Statistical analysis of the extracted data was performed using comprehensive meta-analysis 2.0 software (CMA 2.0) (Biostat Inc., Englewood, New Jersey, USA).
Results: A total of 125 published studies were retrieved from the literature search, and finally, 18 cohort studies meeting our inclusion criteria were incorporated into our meta-analysis. The 18 studies contained a total of 3213 BC patients. Meta-analysis results revealed that BRCA1 promoter methylation in BC patients with high and moderately differentiated tumors (I-II) was significantly lower than patients with poorly-differentiation tumors (III) (odds ratio [OR] =0.450, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] =0.241-0.838, P = 0.012). BRCA1 promoter methylation in BC patients with lymph node (LN) metastasis was significantly higher than patients without LN metastasis (OR = 2.244, 95% CI = 1.278-3.940, P = 0.005). The results of ethnicity-based subgroup analysis showed a significant difference in histological grade of BC on Asians, LN metastasis of BC in Asians and Caucasians, subtypes of BC in Caucasians, and age at diagnosis of BC patients in Caucasians (all P < 0.05).
Conclusions: Our meta-analysis revealed that BRCA1 promoter methylation status is linked to tumor grade and LN metastasis of BC.

DNA hypomethylation-related expression of hsa-miR-184 contributes to invasive growth of gonadotroph neuroendocrine pituitary tumors.

Gonadotroph neuroendocrine pituitary tumors are among the most common intracranial neoplasms. A notable proportion of these tumors is characterized by invasive growth which hampers the treatment results and worsens prognoses of patients. Increased hsa-miR-184 expression was observed in invasive as compared to non-invasive gonadotroph tumors.

Background: Diffuse hemispheric glioma, histone 3 (H3) G34-mutant, has been newly defined in the 2021 WHO classification of central nervous system tumors. Here we sought to define the prognostic roles of clinical, neuroimaging, pathological, and molecular features of these tumors.
Methods: We retrospectively assembled a cohort of 114 patients (median age 22 years) with diffuse hemispheric glioma, H3 G34-mutant, CNS WHO grade 4 and profiled the imaging, histological and molecular landscape of their tumors.

Sorghum is an increasingly popular topic of research in elucidating survival and adaptation approaches to augmented salinity. Nonetheless, little is known about the outcome and modulatory networks involved in the gibberellic acid (GA3)-induced salt stress alleviation in sorghum. Here, we identified 50 mg/L GA3 as the optimal concentration for sorghum ('Jitian 3') development under salt stress.

Supramaximal resection in glioblastoma, concerning non-contrast-enhancing (nCE) tumors, exhibited additional survival benefits. However, whether all patients can benefit from supramaximal resection of nCE tumors and the optimal resection target remains unclear, especially for the glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype under the new WHO CNS tumor classification. Clinical and surgical characteristics were collected from 155 patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma, IDH-wildtype from the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas, and a prospective cohort of 128 patients was enrolled for external validation.
