Background: The carcinogenic effect of NUP37 has been reported recently in a variety of tumors, but its research in the field of glioma has not been paid attention. The main purpose of this study is to reveal the relationship between NUP37 and prognosis or clinical characteristics of glioma patients.
Methods: First, as a retrospective study, this study included thousands of tissue samples based on a variety of public databases and clinicopathological tissues. Second, a series of bioinformatics analysis methods were used to analyze the NUP37 and glioma samples from multiple databases such as the CGGA, TCGA, GEO, HPA, and GEPIA. Third, to analyze the relationship between the expression level of NUP37 in tumor tissues and cells and a variety of clinical prognostic molecular characteristics, whether it can be an independent risk factor leading to poor prognosis in glioma and whether it has clinical diagnostic value; GSEA was used to analyze the cancer-related signaling pathways that may be activated by high expression of NUP37. Fifth, CMap was used to analyze small molecule drugs that may inhibit NUP37 expression. Finally, the meta-analysis of thousands of tissue samples from seven datasets and cell proliferation and migration experiments confirmed that NUP37 has a malignant effect on glioma.
Results: NUP37 is highly expressed in glioma patient tissues and glioma cells, significantly correlates with reduced overall survival, and may serve as an independent prognostic factor with some diagnostic value. Silencing NUP37 suppresses malignant biological behaviors of glioma cells. 4 small molecule drugs that had potential targeting inhibitory effects on NUP37 overexpression.
Conclusions: This study demonstrates for the first time a malignant role of NUP37 in glioma and provides a vision to unravel the complex pathological mechanisms of glioma and a potentially valuable biomarker for implementing individualized diagnosis and treatment of glioma.

Elevated intracellular lipid synthesis is important for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression. Our study aimed to identify the role of nucleoporin 37 (NUP37) in lipid synthesis and HCC progression. The expression of NUP37 was significantly upregulated in HCC and associated with a poor prognosis.

Nuclear regulation has potential in cancer therapy, with the nuclear pore complex (NPC) serving as a critical channel between the nucleus and cytoplasm, playing a role in regulating various biological processes and cancer. DNA methylation, an epigenetic modification mediated by DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs), influences gene expression and cell differentiation, and is crucial for the development and progression of tumor cells. Gliomas are the most common primary brain tumors, with glioblastoma being particularly aggressive, characterized by invasiveness, migration capability, and resistance to conventional treatments, resulting in poor prognosis.

Objective: Ganoderic Acid A (GAA), a primary bioactive component in Ganoderma, has demonstrated ameliorative effects on depressive-like behaviors in a Chronic Social Defeat Stress (CSDS) mouse model. This study aims to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms through proteomic analysis.
Methods: C57BL/6 J mice were allocated into control (CON), chronic social defeat stress (CSDS), GAA, and imipramine (IMI) groups.

Nucleoporins (NUPs) are components of the nuclear pore complex (NPC) that participate in the nucleocytoplasmic transport of macromolecules as well as in many essential processes that may be led to carcinogenesis. We selected three expression profile microarray datasets from GEO and as well as TCGA data to identify differentially expressed NUPs genes in esophageal carcinoma. Our findings indicated that NUP133, NUP37, NUP43, NUP50, GLE1 and NDC1 are overexpressed in esophageal carcinoma, among which NUP50 and GLE1genes are reported for the first time in esophageal carcinoma.

It has been reported that DEP domain protein 1B (DEPDC1B) serves several roles in the occurrence and development of various types of cancer. Nevertheless, the effect of DEPDC1B on colorectal cancer (CRC), as well as its particular underlying molecular mechanism remain to be elucidated. In the present study, the mRNA and protein expression levels of DEPDC1B and nucleoporin 37 (NUP37) in CRC cell lines were assessed by reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR and western blotting, respectively.
