The long non-coding RNA antisense 1 ADAMTS9-AS1 has been reported to predict the survival in several tumors, including bladder cancer and breast cancer. However, the clinical significance and biological behaviors of ADAMTS9-AS1 in colorectal cancer (CRC) have not been reported yet. In this study, the expression of ADAMTS9-AS1 was measured in CRC tissues and cell lines using quantitative real-time PCR analysis. The clinical significance of ADAMTS9-AS1 was evaluated with Chi-squared test, Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression analysis in CRC patients. CCK8 assay, colony formation assay, flow cytometry and transwell assay were used to explore the biological function of ADAMTS9-AS1 knockdown in CRC cell lines (SW1116 and HT29). We further explore the role of ADAMTS9-AS1 in vivo though xenograft tumor assay. Our data showed that ADAMTS9-AS1 expression level was significantly up-regulated in CRC tissues and cell lines compared with corresponding controls. High ADAMTS9-AS1 level was associated with TNM stage, lymph node invasion and worse survival prognosis. Depletion of ADAMTS9-AS1 significantly suppressed cell proliferation, G1/S transition, migration and invasion, as well as suppressed CDK4/Cyclin D1 and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). To sum up, these findings illustrated that ADAMTS9-AS1 might be a promising therapeutic target and prognostic factor for CRC.

Micropapillary adenocarcinoma (MPC) is an aggressive histological subtype of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). MPC is composed of small clusters of cancer cells exhibiting inverted polarity. However, the mechanism underlying its formation is poorly understood.

The NS1 binding protein, known for interacting with the influenza A virus protein, is involved in RNA processing, cancer, and nerve cell growth regulation. However, its role in stress response independent of viral infections remains unclear. This study investigates NS1 binding protein's function in regulating stress granules during oxidative stress through interactions with GABARAP subfamily proteins.

Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is a monogenic blood disease with complex and multifactorial pathophysiology. The endocannabinoid system (ECS) could be a candidate for modulating SCA complications, such as priapism, as it has demonstrated an essential role in hematopoiesis, platelet aggregation, and immune responses. We evaluated the association of ECS-related single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) (FAAH rs324420, MAGL rs604300, CNR1 rs7766029, and CNR2 rs35761398) with priapism in a Brazilian SCA cohort.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive disease with a high relapse rate. In this study, we map the metabolic profile of CD34(CD38) AML cells and the extracellular vesicle signatures in circulation from AML patients at diagnosis. CD34 AML cells display high antioxidant glutathione levels and enhanced mitochondrial functionality, both associated with poor clinical outcomes.

Esophageal cancer is a highly aggressive disease, and acquired resistance to chemotherapy remains a significant hurdle in its treatment. mtDNA, crucial for cellular energy production, is prone to mutations at a higher rate than nuclear DNA. These mutations can accumulate and disrupt cellular function; however, mtDNA mutations induced by chemotherapy in esophageal cancer remain unexplored.
