Background: Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is one of the most common forms of head and neck cancers. However, few studies have focused on the correlation between competing endogenous RNA (ceRNAs) and immune cells in LSCC.

Methods: RNAseq expression of LSCC and adjacent tissues were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas to establish a ceRNA network. The key gene in ceRNA was screened by the cox regression analysis to establish a prognostic risk assessment model. The CIBERSORT algorithm was then used to screen important tumor-infiltrating cells related to LSCC. Finally, co-expression analysis was applied to explore the relationship between key genes in the ceRNA network and tumor-infiltrating cells. The external datasets were used to validate critical biomarkers.

Results: We constructed a prognostic risk assessment model of key genes in the ceRNA network. As it turned out, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed significant differences in overall survival rates between high-risk and low-risk groups (P < .001). The survival rate of the high-risk group was drastically lower than that of the low-risk group, and the AUC of 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years were all above 0.7. In addition, some immune infiltrating cells were also found to be related to LSCC. In the co-expression analysis, there is a negative correlation between plasma cells and TUBB3 (r = -0.33, P = .0013). External dataset validation also supports this result.

Conclusion: In this study, we found that some key genes (SLC35C1, CLDN23, HOXB7, STC2, TMEM158, TNFRSF4, TUBB3) and immune cells (plasma cells) may correspond to the prognosis of LSCC.

Background: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are the first-line therapy for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with sensitized mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (). However, resistance to TKIs is a major clinical issue that affects the survival and prognosis of the patients, with the mechanisms underlying this resistance remaining elusive. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of single-stranded, covalently closed RNA molecules, which are generated from pre-messenger RNAs (mRNAs) through back splicing.

Introduction: Extensive efforts have been made to explore members of the IL-10 family as potential therapeutic strategies for various diseases; however, their biological role in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) remains underexplored.

Methods: Gene expression datasets GSE136825, GSE179265, and GSE196169 were retrieved from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) for analysis. Candidate genes were identified by intersecting differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the CRSwNP and control groups (DEGsall) with those between the high- and low-score groups within the CRSwNP cohort (DEGsNP).

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks among the top three cancers globally in both incidence and mortality, posing a significant public health challenge. Most CRC cases are diagnosed at intermediate to advanced stages, and reliable biomarkers for early detection are lacking. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been implicated in various cancers, including CRC, playing key roles in tumor development, progression, and prognosis.

Introduction: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most common cause of cancer-related deaths globally. The gut microbiota, along with adenomatous polyps (AP), has emerged as a plausible contributor to CRC progression. This study aimed to scrutinize the impact of the FadA antigen derived from Fusobacterium nucleatum on the expression levels of the ANXA2 ceRNA network and assess its relevance to CRC advancement.
