Endometrial cancer, a common gynecological malignancy, poses significant clinical challenges, particularly in advanced or recurrent cases. TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1), a serine/threonine kinase, plays crucial roles in inflammation and immunity by activating nuclear factor (NF)-κB and interferon regulatory factor 3. However, its specific roles in endometrial cancer remain unknown.

T-box transcription factor 21 (TBX21) plays a vital role in regulating immune responses, systemic diseases, and tumor progression. However, the role of TBX21 in colorectal cancer (CRC) metastasis remains unclear. In this study, we observed that TBX21 expression was marked decreased in CRC tissues compared to normal tissues and was negatively correlated with TNM stages.

Dual-specificity phosphatase 3 (DUSP3) is a small-molecule dual-specificity phosphatase whose function has not yet been elucidated. This study investigated the effects of DUSP3 on the biological behavior of osteosarcoma and its potential mechanisms. We performed bioinformatics analysis of DUSP3 using "The Cancer Genome Atlas" and "The Tumor Immune Estimation Resource" databases.

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), which differentiate from tissue-resident macrophages, are recognized for their ability to influence cancer progression and metastasis. However, the specific role of Kupffer cells (KCs), the intrinsic macrophages of the liver, in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear. In this study, we describe a novel mechanism by which exosomes derived from HCC cells induce KCs to transition into TAMs, thereby facilitating the metastasis of HCC in an IL6-JAK1-ACAP4 axis-dependent manner.

The progression and metastasis of colorectal cancer (CRC) remain major clinical challenges due to a lack of effective therapeutic targets. Our preliminary study identified the upregulation of the propionyl-CoA carboxylase alpha chain (PCCA) gene in CRC, prompting further investigation into its functional roles. Bioinformatics analysis, colorectal tumor tissues, and CRC cell lines were used to determine PCCA expression.
