Background: SERPINH1 is abnormally expressed in multiple cancers and is associated with malignant progression. However, few reports detail its role in the etiopathogenesis of glioma. Hence, the aim of this article was to investigate the potential value of SERPINH1 in glioma using an integrative analysis.
Methods: Data of RNA-seq and scRNA-seq was obtained and evaluated using online databases. The expression of SERPINH1 was confirmed by qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. The prognostic value of SERPINH1 was evaluated using univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses. SERPINH1-related signaling pathways and the interaction of SERPINH1 with immunity were also investigated.
Results: SERPINH1 exhibited a markedly elevated expression in glioma compared to normal brain tissues in the online databases. Similar results were confirmed by qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. SERPINH1 was found to be an independent prognosis factor, and high expression of SERPINH1 indicated poor survival. Moreover, a nomogram was constructed to predict prognosis more accurately and intuitively. GSEA analysis showed that SERPINH1 was involved in seven signaling pathways, including JAK-STAT pathway. Further analysis indicated SERPINH1 was significantly associated with immunity, especially in low-grade glioma. Additionally, an examination of scRNA-seq data revealed that SERPINH1 was primarily expressed in T cells of the CD4+ and CD8+ subsets.
Conclusions: SERPINH1 is a key biomarker of glioma prognosis and is immunologically relevant, which provides additional options for targeted therapy of glioma.

Fibrosis, characterised by excessive extracellular matrix deposition, contributes to both organ failure and significant mortality worldwide. Whereas fibroblasts are activated into myofibroblasts, marked by phenotypic factors such as α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), periostin, fibroblast activation protein (FAP) and heat shock protein 47 (HSP47), the cellular processes of trans-differentiation for fibrosis development remain poorly understood. Herein, we hypothesised that the molecular signalling of geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP), a crucial biochemical molecule for protein prenylation, is essential in the regulation of profibrotic mechanisms for fibroblast-to-myofibroblast activation.

The high rate of postoperative recurrence contributes to the poor outcome in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and effective strategies for managing recurrence are currently lacking. Based on seven pairs of tumors and non-tumor adjacent tissues (NATs) proteomic datasets across five cancer types, this study systematically investigates the stratified and therapeutic value of tumors and NATs for tumor recurrence. NATs exhibited stable and irreplaceable independent prognostic capabilities for recurrence, complementing clinical indicators and tumor characteristics.

Bone metastasis (BM) is a serious clinical symptom of advanced colorectal cancer. However, there is a lack of effective biomarkers for early diagnosis and treatment. RNA-seq data from public databases (GSE49355, GSE101607) were collected and normalized and batch effects were removed using the combat package.

Background/aim: Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death in both men and women worldwide. The 5-year relative survival rate for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is 10%, which is the lowest among all cancers. This study aimed to find more effective targets to improve the diagnosis, prognostic prediction, and treatment of PDAC.
