Angiogenesis has been identified as one of the hallmarks of cancer and aggravates cancer development and progression. Accumulating evidence indicated that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are powerful factors in regulating various cancer behaviors. The aim of this study is to verify the function and potential mechanisms of lncRNA NEAT1 in progression and angiogenesis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). We found that NEAT1 was overexpressed in ESCC tissues and correlated with clinical characteristics of patients. Silence of NEAT1 inhibited proliferation, migration, invasion and angiogenesis of ESCC cells. High throughput sequencing and western blotting revealed that NEAT1 regulated MDM2/p53 pathway. Rescue of MDM2 restored the effect of NEAT1 on progression and angiogenesis of ESCC cells. Nude mice xenograft models further validated the role of NEAT1 . Importantly, NEAT1 functioned as a competing endogenous RNA for miR-590-3p to regulate MDM2 expression and miR-590-3p acted as a tumor suppressor in ESCC progression and angiogenesis. These findings suggested that NEAT1/miR-590-3p/MDM2 axis might serve as potential therapeutic targets for ESCC patients.

Background: Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) pose a significant health threat owing to their high misdiagnosis rate. Case reports suggest that DAVFs or related acute events may follow medication use; however, drug-related risk factors remain unclear. In clinical practice, the concomitant use of multiple drugs for therapy is known as "polypharmacy situations," further increasing the risk of drug-induced DAVF.

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are intrinsic components of the tumor microenvironment that promote cancer progression and metastasis. Through an unbiased integrated analysis of gastric tumor grade and stage, we identified a subset of proangiogenic CAFs characterized by high podoplanin (PDPN) expression, which are significantly enriched in metastatic lesions and secrete chemokine (CC-motif) ligand 2 (CCL2). Mechanistically, PDPN(+) CAFs enhance angiogenesis by activating the AKT/NF-κB signaling pathway.

The treatment of fungal keratitis(FK) remains challenging due to delayed fungal detection and the limited effectiveness of antifungal drugs. Fungal infection can activate both innate and adaptive immune responses in the cornea. Fungi stimulate the production of oxidative stress-related biomarkers and mediate the infiltration of neutrophils, macrophages, and T cells.

Background: Paediatric sarcomas, including rhabdomyosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma and osteosarcoma, represent a group of malignancies that significantly contribute to cancer-related morbidity and mortality in children and young adults. These cancers share common challenges, including high rates of metastasis, recurrence or treatment resistance, leading to a 5-year survival rate of approximately 20% for patients with advanced disease stages. Despite the critical need, therapeutic advancements have been limited over the past three decades.

Background: Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) is essential for the formation of membraneless organelles and significantly influences cellular compartmentalization, chromatin remodeling, and gene regulation. Previous research has highlighted the critical function of liquid-liquid biopolymers in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Methods: This study conducted a comprehensive review of 3,685 liquid-liquid biopolymer regulators, leading to the development of a LLPS related Prognostic Risk Score (LPRS) for HCC through bootstrap-based univariate Cox, Random Survival Forest (RSF), and LASSO analyses.
