Background: Cysteine-rich protein 2 (CSRP2) is discovered as oncogene. The study aims to investigate the clinical significance and potential mechanism of CSRP2 in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).
Methods: CSRP2 expression was explored by immunohistochemistry tissue microarrays and Western blotting in HNSCC. The effect of CSRP2 on the cancer stemness and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of HNSCC cells was investigated by sphere formation, wound healing, and transwell assays. The vitro and vivo experiments revealed that CSRP2 modulated cancer stemness and EMT phenotypes in HNSCC.
Results: CSRP2 was overexpressed in HNSCC patients and presented poor prognosis. CSRP2 knockdown inhibited the migration and invasion ability of the HNSCC cells. And CSRP2 expression was closely associated with CSCs markers, EMT-transcription factor, new oncoprotein, and immune checkpoint.
Conclusion: The overexpression of CSRP2 indicates poor prognosis and plays a key role in maintaining the cancer cell stemness and EMT.

Elevated subcutaneous adipose tissue in obese men correlates strongly with a higher risk of aggressive prostate cancer and poor treatment outcomes, but the exact mechanism underlying the increased risk remains elusive. To address this question, we analyzed prostate cancer transcriptomic data from The Cancer Genome Atlas as well as single-cell RNA sequencing and tissue microarray data from prostate cancer cells. Subcutaneous adipose tissue-associated cysteine-rich protein 2 (CSRP2) was significantly downregulated in prostate cancer epithelial cells.

The muscle LIM protein (MLP) is a member of the cysteine and glycine-rich protein (CSRP) family, composed of CSRP1, CSRP2 and CSRP3/MLP. MLP is involved in a multitude of functional roles, including cytoskeletal organization, transcriptional regulation, and signal transduction. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying its involvement in immune and stress responses remain to be elucidated.

Article Synopsis
- The study looked at how a protein called CSRP2 affects neuroblastoma, a type of cancer that mostly affects kids.
- Researchers found that higher levels of CSRP2 were linked to more serious cases of neuroblastoma and a lower chance of survival for the kids.
- By experimenting with brain cancer cells, they discovered that reducing CSRP2 made the cells grow slower, while increasing it made them grow faster.

Article Synopsis
- - This study investigates the genetic factors influencing walking ability in purebred turkey populations, utilizing extensive data on over 400,000 turkeys from both female and male lines across several years.
- - Findings reveal that walking ability is moderately heritable and negatively correlated with leg defects, with various associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) linked to genes affecting mobility and growth.
- - Notable genes related to walking ability and movement were identified, with distinct differences in genetic markers and associated functions between the female and male turkey lines.

Cysteine and glycine-rich protein 2 (CSRP2) is expressed differently in numerous cancers and plays a key role in carcinogenesis. However, the role of CSRP2 in glioma is unknown. This study sought to determine the expression profile and clinical significance of CSRP2 in glioma and explore its biological functions and mechanisms via lentivirus-mediated CSRP2 silencing experiments.
