SIRT1 is tightly associated with the progression of prostate cancer while the role of Hsa-miR-34a-5p in SIRT1-mediated prostate cancer is not fully understood. We have thoroughly mined the data from two databases, namely the Lipidemia and the cancer genome atlas (TCGA) and found that SIRT1 was highly expressed in human carcinoma tissues as compared to normal tissues, and patients with high SIRT1 expression level had a shorter survival time. The online tool "Gene-RADAR" was applied to investigate the interaction among SIRT1, the TP53 gene and miR-34a-5p. We found that SIRT1 was up-regulated in cancer tissues from patients diagnosed with prostate and castration-resistant prostate cancer when compared to healthy controls. Pearson analysis indicated a positive correlation between SIRT1 and miR-34a-5p, while data mining on the TargetScan database predicted the binding site between the two. An apoptosis assay of prostate cancer cells (PRAD) confirmed that the overexpression of miR-34a-5p inhibited paclitaxel-induced apoptosis and promoted cell proliferation. Cell cycle analysis verified that miR-34a-5p overexpression blocked PRAD cells in the G2/S phase of the cell cycle. Moreover, the Western blotting (WB) and quantitative PCR (qPCR) assays demonstrated that the overexpression of miR-34a-5p induced down-regulation of the SIRT-related proteins HIF2α and PGC1α, while on the contrary, it up-regulated the expression of two tumour suppressor genes, TP53 and VEGF. In conclusion, we have shown that miR-34a-5p is involved in the oncogenesis of PRAD cells via the SIRT1/TP53 axis.

Thiamine Deficiency Is Common and Underrecognized in Emergency Department Oncology Patients.

J Clin Med

Department of Emergency Medicine, Henry Ford Health, Detroit, MI 48202, USA.

: Wernicke's encephalopathy can occur in oncology patients independent of alcohol use, likely resulting from poor dietary thiamine intake. High metabolic demands, such as those in acute illnesses seen in the emergency department (ED), can exacerbate thiamine deficiency. In this study, our objective was to assess the incidence of thiamine deficiency in ED oncology patients, which could lead to Wernicke's encephalopathy or other thiamine deficiency disorders if left untreated.

Oligometastatic prostate cancer (OMPC) represents an intermediate state in the progression from localized disease to widespread metastasis when the radiographically significant sites are limited in number and location. With no clear consensus on a definition, its diagnostic significance and associated optimal therapeutic approach remain controversial, posing a significant challenge for clinicians. The current standard of care for metastatic disease is to start systemic therapy; however, active surveillance and targeted radiotherapy have become attractive options to mitigate the long-term effects of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT).
