Background: Hepatic carcinoma (HC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death, and the incidence keeps high in the world. The vital role of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in HC development has been revealed to some extent. Circ_0000775, a novel circRNA, has never been thoroughly studied regarding HC.
Methods: Online datasets were utilized to obtain expression pattern of genes in tumor tissues. RT-qPCR and western blot examined the RNA and protein levels of indicated genes. ChIP, DNA pull down, RNA pull down, RIP and luciferase reporter assays were carried out to verify correlation between different factors. Supported by RT-qPCR and western blot analyses, transwell and wound healing assay were implemented for detecting cell migration and invasion and EMT. Additionally, cell EMT was also evaluated via cell morphology observation for calculation of spindle cell number.
Results: High expression of circ_0000775 in HC cells was induced by transcriptionally stimulation by TCF7L2. Circ_0000775 in cytoplasm recruited IGF2BP2 to enhance the mRNA stability of CDC27, thus positively modulating CDC27 expression. Circ_0000775 exacerbated HC cell migration, invasion and EMT through CDC27.
Conclusion: TCF7L2 promoted the transcription of circ_0000775, and circ_0000775 recruited IGF2BP2 to maintain CDC27 mRNA stability, thereby facilitating HC cell migration, invasion and EMT.

Transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) is well known to play paradoxical roles in tumorigenesis as it has both growth-inhibitory and pro-metastatic effects. However, the underlying mechanisms of how TGF-β drives the opposing responses remain largely unknown. Here, we report that ERBB4, a member of the ERBB receptor tyrosine kinase family, specifically promotes TGF-β's metastatic response but not its anti-growth response.

Background: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a major cause of childhood blindness worldwide, highlighted by retinal neovascularization. Ubiquitin is present throughout the retina. The deubiquitinating enzyme ubiquitin-specific protease 39 (USP39) has been reported to be involved in angiogenesis.

Despite the popular belief in the anti-tumor properties of venom (VBV), there is limited scientific evidence to support this claim. This study is the first to examine the anti-tumor effects of VBV on liver cancer, both alone and in combination with cisplatin (DDP), through in vitro and in vivo experiments. In vitro experiments evaluated VBV and its combination with DDP on HepG2 cell proliferation, invasion, migration, and apoptosis.

Chondroitin sulfate (CS), a class of glycosaminoglycans covalently attached to proteins to form proteoglycans, is widely distributed in the extracellular matrix and cell surface of animal tissues. In our previous study, CS was used as a template for the synthesis of seleno-chondroitin sulfate (SeCS) through the redox reaction of ascorbic acid (Vc) and sodium selenite (NaSeO) and we found that SeCS could inhibit tumor cell proliferation and invasion. However, its effect on angiogenesis and its underlying mechanism are unknown.

Objective: To investigate if fibroblast growth factor 18 (FGF18) expression plays an important role in endometrial carcinoma (EC).
Methods: The clinicopathological associations and prognostic value of FGF18 expression were retrospectively analyzed in 190 patients with EC. FGF18 expression was stably knocked down in EC cell lines.
