BACKGROUND The function of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) BMP/OP-responsive gene (BORG) has only been studied in breast cancer. We analyzed the role of BORG in colorectal cancer (CRC). MATERIAL AND METHODS BORG in CRC tissues and non-cancer tissues from 66 CRC patients was detected by performing quantitative reverse-transcription PCR (RT-qPCR). BORG in plasma of CRC patients was detected at 3 times-points: before treatment and at 3 and 6 months after treatment. p53 expression in tumor tissues was also detected by RT-qPCR. QPCR was performed to confirm the overexpression of p53 in cells of both CRC cell lines. RESULTS We found that BORG expression was upregulated in CRC tissues and was inversely correlated with p53. With application of carboplatin-based treatment, the expression level of BORG was further upregulated. In CRC cells, carboplatin upregulated the expression of BORG and BORG negatively regulated p53. Under carboplatin treatment, BORG positively regulated the viability of CRC cells. In addition, p53 overexpression attenuated the effects of BORG overexpression. CONCLUSIONS BORG promotes the development of chemoresistance of CRC cells to carboplatin.

Collagen nanoparticles (collagen-NPs) possess numerous applications owing to their minimal immunogenicity, non-toxic nature, excellent biodegradability and biocompatibility. This study presents a novel sustainable technique for one-step green synthesis of hydrolyzed fish collagen-NPs (HFC-NPs) using a hot-water extract of Ulva fasciata biomass. HFC-NPs were characterized using TEM, FTIR, XRD, ζ-potential analyses, etc.

We conducted surveys of Mediterranean beaches in Egypt, Morocco, and Tunisia including 37 macro-litter (> 25 mm) and 41 meso-litter (5-25 mm) assessments. Our study identified key litter items and assessed pollution sources on urban, semi-urban, tourist, and semi-rural beaches. Macro-litter concentration averaged 5032 ± 4919 pieces per 100 m or 1.

The swift rise of hazardous dye effluent from diverse sectors continues to be a severe public health problem and a top priority for environmental preservation, presenting a significant obstacle to the current conventional water treatment systems. This study aims to develop an efficient and reusable approach for removing cresyl fast violet dye using mullite nanoparticles. Some factors such as pH, nano-mullite dosage, agitation speed, time, and others that affect the removal process were studied.

Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and peripheral arterial disease (PAD) of the lower extremities are serious complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Aerobic exercise has been shown to be primarily effective for glycemic control and gait disturbance owing to PAD. However, the safety and efficacy of exercise therapy in patients with PDR remain unclear.
