Dual-specificity protein phosphatase 4 (DUSP4) is a negative regulator of mitogen-activated protein kinases. The prognostic impact of DUSP4 expression in renal cell carcinoma is not well studied. Therefore, we evaluated the clinicopathological implications of DUSP4 expression in clear cell renal cell carcinoma by performing immunohistochemistry (IHC). The clinical outcome according to DUSP4 expression was evaluated through survival analyses, and the association between mRNA expression and prognosis was confirmed by online analysis (Kaplan-Meier plotter). Loss of DUSP4 expression was noted in most histological subtypes of renal cell carcinoma. Loss of DUSP4 expression in clear cell renal cell carcinoma was significantly correlated with old age ( = 0.033), high histologic grade ( < 0.001), tumor necrosis ( < 0.001), and high pT category ( < 0.001). In survival analysis, loss of DUSP4 expression was associated with poor clinical outcomes in cancer-specific survival and recurrence-free survival ( = 0.010 and = 0.007, respectively). Upon TCGA data analysis, patients with low DUSP4 mRNA expression showed a shorter overall survival ( = 0.023). These results suggest that loss of DUSP4 expression can be used as a potential biomarker for predicting clinical outcomes in clear cell renal cell carcinoma patients.

Hyaluronic acid was proposed to support soft tissue recession surgery and guided tissue regeneration. The molecular mechanisms through which hyaluronic acid modulates the response of connective tissue cells remain elusive. To elucidate the impact of hyaluronic acid on the connective tissue cells, we used bulk RNA sequencing to determine the changes in the genetic signature of gingival fibroblasts exposed to 1.

Objective: Monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors reduce inflammation in a number of in vitro and in vivo models. This finding led to the development of a novel MAO-B selective inhibitor (RG0216) designed to reduce blood-brain barrier penetration. To elucidate RG0216's regulatory role in inflammation-relevant signaling pathways, we employed a transcriptome analytic approach to identify genes that are differentially regulated by RG0216 and then globally identified which inflammation-relevant biological signaling pathways were altered by this drug.

Background/aim: Ovarian cancer (OC) is one of the leading gynecological causes of death among women. The current standard treatment for OC is debulking surgery followed by platinum-based chemotherapy treatments; however, despite initial success to treatment many patients experience relapses. Currently, there are no available tests to predict sensitivity or resistance to chemotherapy.

Astrocytes are abundant glial cells in the central nervous system (CNS) that play important roles in brain injury following cardiac arrest (CA). Following brain ischemia, astrocytes trigger endogenous neuroprotective mechanisms, such as fatty acid transport. Lipid droplets (LDs) are cellular structures involved in neutral lipid storage and play essential roles in many biological processes.

Background: Radiotherapy (RT) is an important means of local treatment of solid tumors, and radioresistance is the main reason for RT failure for tumors, especially pancreatic cancer (PC). It is urgent to distinguish key genes and mechanisms of radioresistance in PC.
Methods: We acquired the data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), obtained the gene modules associated with radioresistance by weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA), and identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between normal and tumor samples.
