Radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) exert pleiotropic effects on biological processes including circadian rhythms. miR-34a is a small non-coding RNA whose expression is modulated by RF-EMF and has the capacity to regulate clock gene expression. However, interference between RF-EMF and miR-34a-mediated regulation of the circadian oscillator has not yet been elucidated. Therefore, the present study was designed to reveal if 24 h exposure to 2.4 GHz RF-EMF influences miR-34a-induced changes in clock gene expression, migration and proliferation in colorectal cancer cell line DLD1. The effect of up- or downregulation of miR-34a on DLD1 cells was evaluated using real-time PCR, the scratch assay test and the MTS test. Administration of miR-34a decreased the expression of , , and and inhibited proliferation and migration of DLD1 cells. When miR-34a-transfected DLD1 cells were exposed to 2.4 GHz RF-EMF, an increase in mRNA expression was observed. The inhibitory effect of miR-34a on and was weakened and abolished, respectively. The effect of miR-34a on proliferation and migration was eliminated by RF-EMF exposure. In conclusion, RF-EMF strongly influenced regulation mediated by the tumour suppressor miR-34a on the peripheral circadian oscillator in DLD1 cells.

Stress protein HSP70 administered exogenously has demonstrated high potential as an efficient adjuvant in antitumor immune response. To enhance the antigen-presenting activity, bioavailability, and stability of exogenous recombinant human HSP70, we propose incorporating it into plant extracellular vesicles. Earlier, we found that grapefruit-derived extracellular vesicles (GEV) were able to store the protein with no loss of its major function, chaperone activity.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates combining PRIMA-1 with oxaliplatin (L-OHP) to enhance treatment efficacy for colorectal cancer (CRC) while addressing the drug's toxicity and resistance issues.
- The results show that the combination therapy significantly improves cancer cell death and reduces cell migration and colony formation, regardless of p53 mutation status.
- RNA-seq analysis reveals different cellular responses to the treatments based on p53 status, and in vivo studies confirm that the combination therapy enhances effectiveness and reduces toxicity compared to PRIMA-1 alone.

CHAMP1 (chromosome alignment-maintaining phosphoprotein 1) plays a role in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) by homologous recombination (HR). The CHAMP1 gene is one of the genes mutated in individuals with intellectual disability. The majority of the mutations are premature termination codon (PTC) mutations, while missense mutations have also been reported.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common malignant disease around the world. Because the hosts' immunity plays a great part in regulating tumor cells' growth and progression, immunotherapies have therefore aroused great interest in treating cancers. Currently, scientists have investigated the use of Schistosoma-derived soluble egg antigens (SEA), which is known as a strong immune modulator, in treating a series of immune-related diseases.
