To analyze the mechanism of how interfering with the cytokeratin 19 (CK19) pathway via the ferroptosis pathway affects tumor biological behaviors in the process of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) development. TCGA was used to analyze the expression of CK19 in pan-cancer and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC) and to explore the ferroptosis-related genes related to HNSC. The effect of silencing CK19 on the migration ability of HSC-4 cells was verified by wound healing and migration assay. HSC-4 cells with silencing of CK19 and tumor-bearing nude mouse model were constructed. RT-qPCR, immunofluorescence and western blot were used to analyze the expression of ferroptosis-related genes. CK19 is highly expressed in human OSCC and nude mice. The migration ability of cells in the CK19-silenced group was lower than that of the control group. In vivo and in vitro, CK19 was negatively correlated with the expression of ACSL4 and positively correlated with the expression of GPX4. Compared with the control group, GPX4 expression was down-regulated and ACSL4 expression was up-regulated in the CK19-silenced group. Silencing CK19 also increased intracellular Fe content and MDA content. Silencing CK19 can affect the expression of GPX4 and ACSL4 to regulate ferroptosis and at the same time increase the content of MDA, Fe and ROS levels, thereby activating the regulation of ferroptosis pathway in the development of OSCC.

LncRNA XIST modulates miR-328-3p ectopic expression in lung injury induced by tobacco-specific lung carcinogen NNK both in vitro and in vivo.

Background And Purpose: It is well acknowledged that tobacco-derived lung carcinogens can induce lung injury and even lung cancer through a complex mechanism. MicroRNAs (MiRNAs) are differentially expressed in tobacco-derived carcinogen nicotine-derived nitrosamine ketone (NNK)-treated A/J mice.

Experimental Approach: RNA sequencing was used to detect the level of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs).

Burn wounds require intervention to ensure timely progression to reduce morbidity and mortality. The migrative and proliferative capabilities of keratinocytes are impaired in wounds. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) can degrade the extracellular matrix (ECM), allowing epithelial cells to migrate.

Objective: To study the regulatory role of GLI1/GLI2, a nuclear transcription factor of the Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling pathway, in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) related to hepatic fibrosis in patients with biliary atresia (BA).

Methods: The messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein expression levels of GLI1/GLI2, Snail/Slug, and other Shh- and EMT-related cytokines were tested in the liver tissues of BA patients and animals. Then, GLI1/GLI2 was silenced and overexpressed in mouse intrahepatic bile duct epithelial cells (mIBECs) and BA animals to investigate changes in the mRNA and protein expression of EMT key factors and liver fibrosis indicators.

Background: Cytokeratin 19 () is a marker of biliary epithelial cells and hepatic progenitor cells, which can be expressed in some hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, its role in the occurrence, development, and recurrence of hepatitis B virus (HBV)-associated HCC remains to be clarified. This study is to analyze the relationship between the expression of CK19 protein and clinicopathological factors, as well as the effect of positive expression on the prognosis of HCC patients.
