Osteosarcoma is the most common type of primary malignant bone tumor, with extremely poor prognosis in patients with metastatic disease and resistance to therapy, such as multidrug regimens. The mechanisms of drug resistance are quite complex and have not been fully elucidated; thus, novel therapeutic targets should be identified to alleviate drug resistance in osteosarcoma. In the present study, the transcriptomes of the human osteosarcoma cell line MG63 and vincristine (VCR)‑resistant MG63 cells were compared by microarray analysis. A total of 1,300 genes (602 upregulated and 698 downregulated) were reported to be differentially expressed in MG63/VCR compared with MG63 cells. Bioinformatics analysis predicted that the differentially expressed genes were mainly enriched in the B cell receptor, UVA‑induced mitogen‑activated protein kinases and receptor tyrosine kinase 2/3 signaling pathways. In the present study, 10 of the dysregulated genes, including roundabout homolog 1, death‑associated protein kinase 1 and A‑kinase anchor protein 12 were further evaluated by reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction. These results may aid the validation of candidate biomarkers for the treatment and prognosis of osteosarcoma, and provide novel insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying the drug resistance of osteosarcoma cells.

Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a fatal disease, and radioresistance is an important factor leading to treatment failure and disease progression. The objective of this research was to detect radioresistance-related genes (RRRGs) with prognostic value in NSCLC.
Methods: The weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA) and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) analysis were performed to identify RRRGs using expression profiles from TCGA and GEO databases.

Background/objectives: This study builds on previous findings from mouse models, which showed that maternal overnutrition induced by a high-fat diet (HFD) promotes metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) in offspring, linked to global DNA hypermethylation. We explored whether epigenetic modulation with 5-Aza-CdR, a DNA methylation inhibitor, could prevent MAFLD in offspring exposed to maternal overnutrition.
Methods: The offspring mice from dams of maternal overnutrition were fed either a chow diet or a high-fat diet (HFD) for 10 weeks.

Monkeypox (MPOX) is a zoonotic viral disease caused by the Monkeypox virus (MPXV), which has become the most significant public health threat within the genus since the eradication of the Variola virus (VARV). Despite the extensive attention MPXV has garnered, little is known about its clinical manifestations in humans. In this study, a high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) approach was employed to investigate the transcriptional and metabolic responses of HEK293T cells to the MPXV A5L protein.

Drug resistance is a significant challenge in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), where stromal elements such as adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) contribute to a chemoresistant tumor microenvironment (TME). This study explored the effects of oxaliplatin (OXP) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) on PDAC cells (Capan-1) and ASCs to investigate the mechanisms of chemoresistance. While OXP and 5-FU reduced Capan-1 viability in a dose- and time-dependent manner, ASCs demonstrated high resistance, maintaining > 90% viability even at cytotoxic doses.
