Objective: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a malignant tumor commonly found in the digestive tract. This study aimed to explore the effect of circRNA_002178 as a competing endogenous RNA in the development of CRC by regulating the miR-542-3p/cAMP response element binding protein 1 (CREB1) axis and its molecular mechanism.
Methods: The relative expressions of circ_002178, miR-542-3p, and CREB1 in patients' cell lines and CRC tissues were measured using Western blot and qRT-PCR. The localization and expression of circ_002178 were determined using fluorescence in situ hybridization and nucleocytoplasmic separation tests. The targeting relationships among circ_002178, miR-542-3p, and CREB1 were validated using RNA immunoprecipitation and dual luciferase reporter assays. The cells' proliferation, invasion, and colony forming ability were tested using CCK8, Transwell, and Clone formation assays, respectively. The cellular glucose consumption, lactification, and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production were measured using glucose uptake colorimetric assay kits, lactate colorimetric assay kits and ATP assay kits, respectively.
Results: The circ_002178 and CREB1 expressions were up-regulated in the CRC cells and tissues, and the miR-542-3p expression was down-regulated (all P<0.05). The circ_002178 knockdown inhibited the proliferation, invasion, colony formation, and glycolysis of the CRC cells , but the overexpression of circ_002178 induced the opposite result (both P<0.05). Our molecular mechanism study revealed that circ_002178, as the molecular sponge of miR-542-3p, promotes CREB1 expression. The downregulation of miR-542-3p or the overexpression of CREB1 is able to partly weaken the inhibition of CRC cells through the circ_002178 knockdown.
Conclusion: circ_002178 promotes the invasion, proliferation, colony formation, and glycolysis of CRC cells by regulating the miR-542-3p/CREB1 axis, thus driving the development of CRC.

Adherence to multi-target stool DNA testing for colorectal cancer screening in the United States.
Int J Colorectal Dis
January 2025
Exact Sciences Corporation, Madison, WI, USA.
Purpose: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer mortality in the USA and is highly preventable, with early screening vital for improving outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate adherence rates of multi-target stool DNA (mt-sDNA) testing, following updated guidelines recommending screening starting at age 45.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study used aggregated data from Exact Sciences Laboratories LLC, examining new users (first-time testers) aged 45-85 with commercial, Medicare, or Medicaid insurance who received mt-sDNA test kits (point-of-care) between January 1, 2023, and June 1, 2023.

Background: Candidate biomarkers to improve venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk prediction in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) undergoing anti-myeloma therapy include tissue factor-bearing microvesicles (MV-TF), procoagulant phospholipids (procoag-PPL), and D-dimer.
Objective: We aimed to determine the levels of MV-TF, procoag-PPL, and D-dimer at baseline and during initial anti-myeloma therapy and their association with the risk of VTE.
Methods: This prospective, longitudinal, observational study included 71 patients with newly diagnosed MM who were eligible for anti-myeloma therapy.

Hepatitis and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are major public health issues in developing countries, including Ethiopia. These viruses can be transmitted from mother to child during birth or through contact with contaminated blood. In many areas of Ethiopia, viral hepatitis and HIV infections are significant health concerns for pregnant women.

Early detection of any disease is always a life-saving methodology for human beings likewise the detection of p24 antigen is always better than the detection of HIV antibodies. In the current era, p24 antigen is added additionally in HIV antibodies detection assays and called HIV fourth-generation immunodiagnostic kit. The different HIV fourth-generation kit having different capacities to pick up the low concentration of analyte as well as represent the detection values in different units.

We investigated the protective effect of the NF-κB inhibitor, pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) on cardiomyocyte injury induced by HCN1 channel overexpression, and explored the underlying mechanisms. An HCN1 overexpression vector was constructed and transfected into H9C2 cells, followed by PDTC treatment. The experiments comprised the following groups: control, control + PDTC, overexpression negative control, HCN1 overexpression (HCN1-OE), and combined HCN1-OE + PDTC groups.
