Membrane-associated ring-CH-type finger (MARCH) proteins belong to the E3 ubiquitin ligase family, which regulates protein stability by increasing ubiquitination. Recent evidence has shown that some MARCH proteins play important roles in cancer development. However, the role of MARCH6 in tumorigenesis, including thyroid tumorigenesis, remains unknown. In this study, we determined that MARCH6 was upregulated in the majority of primary papillary thyroid cancers (PTCs) at both the mRNA and protein levels. Gain-of-function and loss-of-function studies demonstrated that MARCH6 suppressed apoptosis and promoted cell cycle progression, cell proliferation, growth, migration and tumorigenesis in thyroid cancer cells. Mechanistically, MARCH6 interacted with and downregulated DHX9. Knockdown of DHX9 enhanced the proliferative and migratory abilities of thyroid cancer cells. The inhibitory effect of MARCH6 knockdown on thyroid cancer cell growth and migration was also reversed by DHX9 silencing. In addition, MARCH6 activated the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway in a manner dependent on the downregulation of DHX9. Overall, MARCH6 functions as a potential oncogene in thyroid cancer by destabilizing DHX9 and activating AKT/mTOR signaling.

Dynamic ultrasound-based modeling predictive of response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with early breast cancer.

Early prediction of patient responses to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is essential for the precision treatment of early breast cancer (EBC). Therefore, this study aims to noninvasively and early predict pathological complete response (pCR). We used dynamic ultrasound (US) imaging changes acquired during NACT, along with clinicopathological features, to create a nomogram and construct a machine learning model.

Although CCL17 has been reported to exert a vital role in many cancers, the related studies in the thyroid carcinoma have never reported. As a chemokine, CCL17 plays a positive role by promoting the infiltration of immune cells into the tumor microenviroment (TME) to influence tumor invasion and metastasis. Therefore, this study is aimed to investigate the association of CCL17 level with potential prognostic value on tumor immunity in the thyroid carcinoma (THCA) based on the bioinformatics analysis.

Pluripotent stem cells possess a unique nuclear architecture characterized by a larger nucleus and more open chromatin, which underpins their ability to self-renew and differentiate. Here, we show that the nucleolus-specific RNA helicase DDX18 is essential for maintaining the pluripotency of human embryonic stem cells. Using techniques such as Hi-C, DNA/RNA-FISH, and biomolecular condensate analysis, we demonstrate that DDX18 regulates nucleolus phase separation and nuclear organization by interacting with NPM1 in the granular nucleolar component, driven by specific nucleolar RNAs.

Background: Adult pineoblastoma is an extremely rare central nervous system malignancy. Limitations of tumour databases, single institution retrospective analyses and a few case reports are not sufficient to clarify treatment options. Therefore, a systematic review of comprehensive research data provides referenceable treatment options.
