Background: Breast invasive cancer (BRCA) is the most common malignancy and the second leading cause of malignancy death among women. Signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT) family played a vital role in regulating certain biological processes and could serve as biomarkers for many diseases or cancers.
Methods: The expression, prognostic value, and clinical functions of STAT family in BRCA were evaluated with several bioinformatics web portals.
Results: The expression of STAT5A/5B were downregulated in BRCA in subgroup analyses based on race, age, gender, race, subclasses, tumor histology, menopause status, nodal metastasis status, and TP53 mutation. BRCA patients with high STAT5B expression had a better overall survival, relapse free survival, MDFS and post progression survival. STAT5B expression level can impact the prognosis in BRCA patients with positive PR status, negative Her2 status and wild type TP53. Moreover, STAT5B was positively correlated with immune cell infiltration and the level of immune biomarkers. Drug sensitivity revealed that low STAT5B expression was resistant to the many small molecules or drugs. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that STAT5B was involved in adaptive immune response, translational initiation, JAK-STAT signaling pathway, Ribosome, NF-kappa B signaling pathway and Cell adhesion molecules.
Conclusions: STAT5B was a biomarker associated with prognosis and immune infiltration in breast cancer.

Background: Korean Red Ginseng and ginsenosides have been studied for their efficacy against various diseases, including those related to aging. However, most aging studies use D-galactose to induce aging, which often does not accurately represent natural aging. This study aimed to verify improvements in auditory, cognitive, and liver function through administering red ginseng to an 18-month-old naturally aging mouse model.

: Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) is a locally aggressive tumor. It accounts for only 5% of all bony tumors. Early diagnosis, and follow-up for recurrence is often difficult due to a lack of biogenetic markers.

Lung cancer progression is characterized by intricate epigenetic changes that impact critical metabolic processes and cell death pathways. In this study, we investigate the role of histone lactylation at the AIM2 locus and its downstream effects on ferroptosis regulation and lung cancer progression. We utilized a combination of biochemical assays, including chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), and western blotting to assess histone lactylation levels and gene expression.

The placenta is a unique organ with various immunological and endocrinological roles that modulate maternal and fetal physiology to promote maternal-fetal tolerance, pregnancy maintenance, and parturition at term. During pregnancy, the hormone prolactin (PRL) is constitutively secreted by the placenta and is necessary for implantation, progesterone support, fetal development, and overall immune modulation. While PRL is essential for pregnancy, studies suggest that elevated levels of serum PRL (hyperprolactinemia) are associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, including miscarriage, preterm birth, and preeclampsia.

Signal Transdcer and Activator of Transcription 5A and 5B (STAT5A/5B) are key effectors of tyrosine kinase oncogenes in myeloid leukemias. It is now clearly evidenced that inhibition of STAT5A/5B not only blocks the growth and survival of myeloid leukemia cells but also overcomes the resistance of leukemic cells to chemotherapy. Previous screening experiments allowed us to identify 17f as a lead compound with promising antileukemic activity that blocks the phosphorylation and transcriptional activity of STAT5A/5B in myeloid leukemia cells addicted to these proteins.
