Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a quickly progressive and devastated hematological malignancy with large rate of relapse and the appearance of chemotherapy resistance. Therefore, the identification of new therapeutic targets is urgent. ZFP91 is a hidden oncogene. Nevertheless, how ZFP91 takes part in regulating AML is less clear. Our research aims at investigating the molecular mechanisms and uncovering the effects of ZFP91 on AML. This research demonstrates that ZFP91 boosts AML cell proliferation and stops AML cell apoptosis. Mechanistically, experimental results showed the interaction between ZFP91 and RIP1 and inhibitory effect of ZFP91 on the K48-linked ubiquitination of endogenous RIP1, which is an important molecule in AML. Taken together, our results provide the evidence that targeted inhibition of ZFP91 could be a hopeful measure to treat AML.

Obesity and type 2 diabetes are prevalent metabolic diseases that have significant links to several chronic diseases, including cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. Muscadine grape extracts have shown the potential to reduce adiposity and improve insulin sensitivity and glucose control. Thus, this study was designed to determine the potential of muscadine grape berries extract (Pineapple and Southern Home) for its antiobesity properties in 3T3-L1 cells as a model for obesity research.

The study aims to explore the roles and underlying mechanisms of long noncoding RNAs endogenous bornavirus-like nucleoprotein (lncRNA EBLN3P) in colon cancer, emphasizing the potential impact of these insights on advancing colon cancer treatment strategies. By shedding light on lncRNA EBLN3P's involvement, this research could contribute to the development of novel therapeutic approaches, enhancing the efficacy of interventions for colon cancer patients. We employed quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction to assess the levels of lncRNA EBLN3P, zinc finger protein (ZFP91), and miR-519d-3p, alongside CCK-8 and EdU assays for cell proliferation, flow cytometry for apoptosis, and Transwell and wound healing assays for migration and invasion.

Objectives: Prostate cancer (PC) is a leading cause of cancer-related death in males worldwide. Neuroendocrine differentiation (NED) is a feature of PC that often goes undetected and is associated with poor patient outcomes. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs), and messenger RNAs (mRNAs) play important roles in the development and progression of PC.
