Glioblastoma (GBM) is a deadly brain tumor with a bleak prognosis. In recent years, the copine III (CPNE3) protein was discovered to be associated to metastasis across various types of malignancies. Nevertheless, its function has not been well documented in glioma. This study characterizes CPNE3 expression in GBM along with its impact and underlying molecular mechanism with regards to cellular migration, invasion and proliferation. Immunohistochemistry was used to characterizes CPNE3 expression in the glioma tissues. Then, knockdown of CPNE3 expression was used to analyze the role of CPNE3 in GBM cell viability, migration, invasion. Western blot analysis was performed to measure the protein levels of FAK signaling pathway. We found that GBM tissues had higher CPNE3 expressions as compared to those in normal brain tissues. CPNE3 silencing in GBM cells impaired the migratory, invasive and proliferative abilities of GBM cells that can be attributed to inactivation of the FAK signaling pathway. Collectively, these findings highlight the role of CPNE3 as a new biomarker, offering deeper insights into its carcinogenic role in GBM.

Introduction: Copine-3 (CPNE3) is a conservative calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding protein belonging to the copines protein family. CPNE3 has been implicated in the development and progression of several diseases, including cancer.
Method: Herein, we investigated the molecular mechanisms through which CPNE3 regulates the migration of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) cells in vitro.

Background: Breast cancer (BRCA) represents a substantial global health challenge marked by inadequate early detection rates. The complex interplay between the tumor immune microenvironment and fatty acid metabolism in BRCA requires further investigation to elucidate the specific role of lipid metabolism in this disease.
Methods: We systematically integrated nine machine learning algorithms into 184 unique combinations to develop a consensus model for lipid metabolism-related prognostic genes (LMPGS).

Research Question: Does LncRNA BANCR promote the malignant transformation of endometriosis by activating the miR-612/CPNE3 pathway?
Design: The expression patterns of BANCR, miR-612 and CPNE3 in normal endometrium, eutopic endometrium from endometriosis, eutopic endometrium or malignant tissues from endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer. On the basis of primary normal endometrial stromal cells (NESC) and eutopic endometrial stromal cells (EESC), the regulatory relationships between BANCR, miR-612 and CPNE3, and the potential mechanisms that promote the malignant transformation of endometriosis, were elucidated in vitro and in vivo.
Results: The expression levels of BANCR and CPNE3 were lowest in normal endometrium, significantly increased in eutopic endometrium (P < 0.

Hippo-Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) plays an important role in gastric cancer (GC) progression; however, its regulatory network remains unclear. In this study, we identified Copine III (CPNE3) was identified as a novel direct target gene regulated by the YAP1/TEADs transcription factor complex. The downregulation of CPNE3 inhibited proliferation and invasion, and increased the chemosensitivity of GC cells, whereas the overexpression of CPNE3 had the opposite biological effects.

Objective: To explore the correlation of CPNE3 expression with long-term prognosis of patients with gastric cancer (GC) and the possible mechanism.
Methods: We retrospectively collected the data of 104 GC patients undergoing radical surgery in our hospital from February, 2013 to October, 2017. TCGA database and immunohistochemistry were used to analyze CPNE3 expression level in GC tissues and its effects on tumor progression and long-term prognosis of the patients.
