AI Article Synopsis

  • The study investigates the role of adenoma polyposis coli mutations in the Wnt signaling pathway and their association with gastric cancer (GC).
  • High expression of this mutation is linked to poorer outcomes in T4 GC patients and is correlated with various oncogenes and related cellular pathways.
  • The findings suggest that the mutation could serve as a potential biomarker for diagnosing and treating gastric cancer.

Article Abstract

Background: Adenoma polyposis coli () mutation is associated with tumorigenesis the Wnt signaling pathway.

Aim: To investigate the clinical features and mechanism of expression in gastric cancer (GC).

Methods: Based on expression profile, the related genome-wide mRNA expression, microRNA (miRNA) expression, and methylation profile in GC, the relationship between and GC, as well as the prognostic significance of were systematically analyzed by multi-dimensional methods.

Results: We found that high expression of ( ) was significantly associated with adverse outcomes of T4 GC patients. Genome-wide gene expression analysis revealed that varying expression levels in GC were associated with some important oncogenes, and corresponding cellular functional pathways. Genome-wide miRNA expression analysis indicated that most of miRNAs associated with high expression were downregulated. The mRNA-miRNA regulatory network analysis revealed that down-regulated miRNAs affected their inhibitory effect on tumor genes. Genome-wide methylation profiles associated with expression showed that there was differential methylation between the and groups. The number of hypermethylation sites was larger than that of hypomethylation sites, and most of hypermethylation sites were enriched in CpG islands.

Conclusion: Our research demonstrated that high expression is an unfavorable prognostic factor for T4 GC patients and may be used as a novel biomarker for pathogenesis research, diagnosis, and treatment of GC.

Background: Obese subjects undergoing weight loss often fear the Yoyo dieting effect, which involves regaining or even surpassing their initial weight. To date, our understanding of such long-term obesity and weight cycling effects is still limited and often based on only short-term murine weight gain and loss studies. This study aimed to investigate the long-term impacts of weight cycling on glycemic control and metabolic health, focusing on adipose tissue, liver, and hypothalamus.

Enhancer RNA (eRNA) has emerged as a key player in cancer biology, influencing various aspects of tumor development and progression. In this study, we investigated the role of eRNAs in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), the most common subtype of renal cell carcinoma. Leveraging high-throughput sequencing data and bioinformatics analysis, we identified differentially expressed eRNAs in KIRC and constructed eRNA-centric regulatory networks.
