Objective: Chemoresistance is one of the major barriers in chemotherapy-based hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) intervention. 5-Fluorouracil (5-Fu) is a widely used as an anticancer drug. Liver cancer stem cells (LCSCs) are considered the origin of tumor recurrence and resistance. CCND1 (Cyclin D1) plays an important role in tumorigenesis and metastasis in multiple cancers including HCC. Herein, this study was designed to explore the role of CCND1 in regulating LCSCs differentiation and 5-Fu resistance in HCC cells.

Methods: The CCND1 mRNA level was examined by qRT-PCR. The protein levels of γ-H2AX (a DNA damage marker) and RAD51 (a DNA repair protein) were examined by Western blot. CD133 was used as a LCSC marker and CD133+ cell percentage in HCC cells was detected by flow cytometry.

Results: CCND1 silencing decreased CD133+ cell percentage in HepG2 and SMMC-7721 cells. Furthermore, CCND1 silencing significantly increased protein level of γ-H2AX and decreased that of RAD51 under 5-Fu exposure. Moreover, CCND1 silencing enhanced the sensitivity of HepG2 and SMMC-7721 cells to 5-Fu, which was effectively abrogated by RAD51 upregulation.

Conclusion: Collectively, CCND1 silencing suppresses LCSCs differentiation and overcomes 5-Fu resistance in HCC.

Background: Bladder cancer (BC) is a malignant tumor. Methyltransferase-like 7B (MEETL7B) is a methyltransferase and its role in BC has not yet been revealed.

Method: Stable METTL7B knockdown or overexpression were achieved by lentiviral transduction in SW780 and TCCSUP cell lines.

Human papilloma virus-negative head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) frequently harbors 11q13 amplifications. Among the oncogenes at this locus, CCND1 and ANO1 are linked to poor prognosis; however, their individual roles in treatment resistance remain unclear. The impact of Cyclin D1 and Ano1 overexpression on survival was analyzed using the TCGA HNSCC dataset and a Charité cohort treated with cisplatin (CDDP)-based radiochemotherapy.

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, highly invasive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The main pathogenesis of MCL is associated with the formation of the IgH/CCND1 fusion gene and nuclear overexpression of cyclin D1, which accelerates the cell cycle, leading to tumorigenesis. The prognosis with current standard chemotherapy is still unsatisfactory.

Background/aim: Lung cancer, a predominant contributor to cancer mortality, is characterized by diverse etiological factors, including tobacco smoking and genetic susceptibilities. Despite advancements, particularly in nonsmall-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), therapeutic options for lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) are limited. Transposable elements (TEs) and their regulatory proteins, such as tigger transposable element derived (TIGD) family proteins, have been implicated in cancer development.
