Background: The risk of malignant transformation of enchondromas (EC) toward central chondrosarcoma is increased up to 35%, while the exact etiology of EC is unknown. The purpose of this research was to authenticate gene signatures during EC and reveal their potential mechanisms in occurrence and development of EC.

Methods: The gene expression profiles was acquired from Gene Expression Omnibus database (no. GSE22855). The gene ontology (GO), protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway (KEGG) enrichment analyses were utilized to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs).

Results: Finally, 242 DEGs were appraisal, containing 200 overregulated genes and 42 downregulated genes. The outcomes of GO analysis indicated that upregulated DEGs were mainly enriched in several biological processes containing response to hypoxia, calcium ion, and negative regulation extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway. Furthermore, the upregulated DEGs were enriched in extracellular matrix (ECM)-receptor interaction, protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum and ribosome, which was analyzed by KEGG pathway. From the PPI network, the top 10 hub genes were identified, which were related to significant pathways containing ribosome, protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum, and ECM-receptor interaction.

Conclusion: In conclusion, the present study may be helpful for understanding the diagnostic biomarkers of EC.

Myelodysplastic Neoplasm (MDS) is a cancer associated with aging, often leading to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). One of its hallmarks is hypermethylation, particularly in genes responsible for DNA repair. This study aimed to evaluate the methylation and mutation status of DNA repair genes (single-strand - XPA, XPC, XPG, CSA, CSB and double-strand - ATM, BRCA1, BRCA2, LIG4, RAD51) in MDS across three patient cohorts (Cohort A-56, Cohort B-100, Cohort C-76), using methods like pyrosequencing, real-time PCR, immunohistochemistry, and mutation screening.

The St. Lawrence Estuary (SLE) beluga () population in Canada is Endangered, and endocrine disrupting contaminants, such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and other halogenated flame retardants, have been identified as a threat to the recovery of this population. Here, potential impacts of these contaminants on SLE beluga were evaluated by comparing skin transcriptome profiles and biological pathways between this population and a population less exposed to contaminants (Eastern Beaufort Sea) used as a reference.

The E3 ubiquitin ligase neural precursor cell-expressed developmentally down-regulated 4 (NEDD4) is involved in various cancer signaling pathways, including PTEN/AKT. However, its role in promoting gastric cancer (GC) progression is unclear. This study was conducted to elucidate the role of NEDD4 in GC progression.
