Background: In the course of neoplastic diseases, a reduction in SEMA3F expression is observed, which translates into an increase in the proliferative and proangiogenic potential of cells forming the tumor and the surrounding microenvironment.
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the changes in SEMA3F level in endometrial cancer depending on its grade.
Methods: The study material consisted of tissue samples: 15 without neoplastic changes (control group) and 45 with endometrial cancer (G1, 17; G2, 15; G3, 13; study group). SEMA3F expression was assessed using the immune-histochemical method.
Results: The expression of SEMA3F was observed in the control group (Me = 159.38) and in the study group (G1, Me = 121.32; G2, Me = 0; G3, Me = 130.37). Differences between each grade and control and between individual grades were statistically significant. There were no significant correlations between SEMA3F expression and weight and Body Mass Index (BMI). The reduced SEMA3F expression in tumor tissue compared to healthy tissue indicates that this protein plays key roles in proliferation and angiogenesis.
Conclusion: We found that depending on the severity of the disease, cancer adopts different survival strategies, where SEMA3F plays an important role. As a molecular marker, SEMA3F is not sensitive to weight and BMI.

In esophageal adenocarcinoma, the presence of lymph node metastases predicts patients' survival even after curative resection. Currently, there is no highly accurate marker for detecting the presence of lymph node metastasis. The SEMA3F/NRP2 axis was initially characterized in axon guidance and recent evidence has revealed its significant involvement in lymphangiogenesis, angiogenesis, and carcinogenesis.

Aims: This study aims to explore the potential mechanism by which Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT/ A) inhibits microglial inflammatory activation through P2X7 receptors (P2X7R).
Background: BoNT/A is a promising analgesic drug, and previous studies have established that it alleviates Neuropathic Pain (NP) by inhibiting microglial inflammatory activation. This study examined the biomarkers and potential mechanisms by which BoNT/A relieves neuropathic pain by mediating microglial P2X7R and analyzing transcriptome sequencing data from mouse BV-2 microglial cells.

Background: A better understanding of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is urgently needed to identify these preinvasive lesions as distinct clinical entities. Semaphorin 3F (SEMA3F) is a soluble axonal guidance molecule, and its coreceptors Neuropilin 1 (NRP1) and NRP2 are strongly expressed in invasive epithelial BC cells.
Methods: We utilized two cell line models to represent the progression from a healthy state to the mild-aggressive or ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) stage and, ultimately, to invasive cell lines.

R-loops are prevalent three-stranded nucleic acid structures, comprising a DNA-RNA hybrid and a displaced single-stranded DNA, that frequently form during transcription and may be attributed to genomic stability and gene expression regulation. It was recently discovered that RNA modification contributes to maintain the stability of R-loops such as N6-methyladenosine (mA). Yet, mA-modified R-loops in regulating gene transcription remains poorly understood.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) due to a direct blow or penetrating injury to the head damages the brain tissue and affects brain function. Primary and secondary damage to the brain tissue increases disability, morbidity, and mortality and costs millions of dollars in treatment. Injury to the brain tissue results in the activation of various inflammatory and repair pathways involving many cellular and molecular factors.
