Background: NUPR1, or p8, is a small chromatin protein that plays a central role in the resistance to treatment and progression of cancer. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanism of NUPR1 in bladder cancer (BLCA) remains unclear.
Methods: We used online databases and immunohistochemistry (IHC) to explore the expression of NUPR1 in BLCA tissues and controls. Lentivirus-mediated small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) was used to knockdown the expression of NUPR1 in two human BLCA cell lines. We used an in vivo experiment to investigate the effect of NUPR1 knockdown on the growth of BLCA. Moreover, an in silico analysis was conducted to assess the differential expression profile after NUPR1 interference. The CIBERSORT algorithm was utilized to evaluate the effects of tumor-infiltrating immune cells among BLCA patients.
Results: The expression of NUPR1 in BLCA tissues was significantly higher than in the control. NUPR1 expression was also positively correlated with the stage of BLCA. After lentivirus-mediated interference, the expression of NUPR1 was significantly down-regulated in BLCA cell lines. The cell cycle was blocked in G1 phase and the cell proportion of S phase was decreased in both two cell lines. Moreover, in vivo experiment revealed that the tumor growth of BLCA can be delayed by inhibiting the expression of NUPR1. Both in silico analysis and functional experiments revealed that NUPR1 was correlated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). We also revealed that macrophages were the most related immune cells associated with the expression of NUPR1 in BLCA.
Conclusions: This study suggests that NUPR1 plays a carcinogenic role in BLCA. NUPR1 lentivirus-mediated interference could interfere with cycle progression of the BLCA cell, resulting in cell cycle arrest in the G1-phase. The carcinogenic effect of NUPR1 in BLCA is likely achieved through EMT. NUPR1 is correlated with the M0-type macrophage markers CD68 and CD11b-integrin.

Article Synopsis
- Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become a significant public health issue, prompting this study to explore the effects of Y-box binding protein-1 (YB1) knockdown on lipid metabolism and oxidative stress in liver cells influenced by palmitic acid.
- The research found that knocking down YB1 leads to significant changes in gene expression, with 798 differentially expressed genes identified, and it enhances cell viability while improving lipid metabolism and reducing harmful reactive oxygen species.
- The underlying mechanism primarily involves the INHBE/TNF-β signaling pathway, indicating that targeting YB1 may present new therapeutic options for managing NAFLD.
Ageing limits stemness and tumorigenesis by reprogramming iron homeostasis.

Ageing is associated with a decline in the number and fitness of adult stem cells. Ageing-associated loss of stemness is posited to suppress tumorigenesis, but this hypothesis has not been tested in vivo. Here we use physiologically aged autochthonous genetically engineered mouse models and primary cells to demonstrate that ageing suppresses lung cancer initiation and progression by degrading the stemness of the alveolar cell of origin.
