Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are one of the interesting fields in cancer researches. LncRNAs are generally dysregulated in many diseases. LMCD1 antisense RNA 1 (LMCD1-AS1) is a newly identified lncRNA with protumorigenic functions on tumor cells. LMCD1-AS1 expression is increased in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). LMCD1-AS1 is a sponge of miR-106b-5p activity. LMCD1-AS1 modulates the survival of osteosarcoma via targeting miR-106b-5p. LMCD1-AS1 and Sp1 are highly expressed in osteosarcoma. SP1 can bind to the promoter region of LMCD1-AS1, resulting in its overexpression in osteosarcoma. GLI2 is shown to bind to the LMCD1-AS1 promoter and is transcriptionally activated by LMCD1-AS1. LMCD1 acts as a miR-1287-5p sponge to increase GLI2 expression. LMCD1 is abundantly expressed in kidney tissue. Moreover, it is functionally involved in protein-protein interactions with transcriptional co-repressor activity, including regulation of the calcineurin-NFAT signaling cascade known to play a critical role in recovery from acute kidney injury (AKI). The E2F1/LMCD1-AS1/miR-345-5p/COL6A3 axis is a newly identified regulatory mechanism, which has a function in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) tumorigenesis and progression and provides potential therapeutic targets for CCA. Also, LMCD1-AS1 functions in thyroid cancer (THCA) development. LMCD1-AS1 is overexpressed in THCA cells, and LMCD1-AS1 knockdown suppresses the malignant phenotypes of THCA cells. In THCA development, LMCD1-AS1 exerts protumorigenic function through sponging miR-1287-5p to increase GLI2 expression, constituting a feedback loop of LMCD1-AS1/miR-1287-5p/GLI2. In this review, the author focuses on the molecular mechanisms of newly identified long noncoding RNA LMCD1 antisense RNA 1 (LMCD1-AS1).

Small rodents can cause problems on farms such as infrastructure damage, crop losses or pathogen transfer. The latter threatens humans and livestock alike. Frequent contacts between wild rodents and livestock favour pathogen transfer and it is therefore important to understand the movement patterns of small mammals in order to develop strategies to prevent damage and health issues.

The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical features and outcomes of elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) from a real word research. The clinical data of 223 consecutive elderly patients (aged ≥ 60 years) who were newly diagnosed with AML at our medical center between July 2017 and June 2022, including their clinical characteristics, genetic mutations, and survival outcomes, were retrospectively analyzed. Among the 223 patients (median age 67 years), 180 (80.

Prognostic relevance of CD163 immune cells in patients with metastatic breast cancer.

Cancer Immunol Immunother

Department of Clinical Sciences Lund, Division of Oncology, Lund University, 221 84, Lund, Sweden.

Metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is generally considered an incurable disease and even though new treatments are available, the median survival is approximately three years. The introduction of immune therapies for MBC highlights the importance of the immune system in cancer progression and treatment. CD163 anti-inflammatory myeloid cells, including tumor associated macrophages (TAMs), are known to be of relevance in early breast cancer but their role in MBC is not yet established.

Background: Host commensal gut microbes are shown to be crucial for microglial maturation, and functions that involve innate immune responses to maintain brain homeostasis. Sex has a crucial role in the incidence of neurological diseases with females showing higher progression of AD compared with males. Transcriptomics has been a powerful tool for the characterization of microglial phenotypes however, there is a large gap in relating to their functional protein abundances.

Background: Previously, the Penn Frontotemporal Degeneration (FTD) Center developed and validated criteria to stratify pedigrees of patients with FTD by likelihood of identifying a genetic etiology (Wood, JAMA Neurol., 2013). Pedigrees were classified as high-risk, medium-risk, low-risk, apparent sporadic, or unknown significance.
