Hypopharyngeal carcinoma is one of the malignant tumors of the head and neck with a particularly poor prognosis. Recurrence and metastasis are important reasons for poor prognosis of hypopharyngeal cancer patients, and malignant proliferation, migration, and invasion of tumor cells are important factors for recurrence and metastasis of hypopharyngeal cancer. Therefore, elucidating hypopharyngeal cancer cells' proliferation, migration, and invasion mechanism is essential for improving diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. Plasmacytoma Variant Translocation 1 (PVT1) is considered a potential diagnostic marker and therapeutic target for tumors. However, it remains unclear whether PVT1 is related to the occurrence and development of hypopharyngeal cancer and its specific mechanism. In this study, the promoting effect of PVT1 on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of hypopharyngeal carcinoma FaDu cells was verified by cell biology experiments and animal studies, and it was found that PVT1 inhibited the expression of TGF-β, suggesting that PVT1 may regulate the occurrence and development of hypopharyngeal carcinoma FaDu cells through TGF-β.

P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) plays a role in regulating tumor progression, but it is unclear whether P2X7R affects the pathological characteristics of patients with gastric cancer and the activity of gastric cancer cells. Therefore, this study preliminarily investigated the relationship between P2X7R and clinicopathological features of patients with gastric cancer, and further explored the effect of P2X7R on the proliferation, migration and invasion of gastric cancer cells through functional experiments. The results showed that P2X7R was highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues and gastric cancer cells.

Hepatic fibrosis, a degenerative liver lesion, significantly contributes to the deterioration and mortality among patients with chronic liver diseases. The condition arises from various factors including toxins, such as alcohol, infections like different types of viral hepatitis, and metabolic diseases. Currently, there are no effective treatments available for liver fibrosis.

Background: Oesophageal cancer (EC) is one of the common malignant tumors, and the prognosis of patients is poor. Further exploration of EC pathogenesis remains warranted.
Objective: The relationship between vascular epithelial cadherin (VE-cadherin) and chitinase-3-like protein 1 (CHI3L1) in EC is currently unknown.

Background: B-cell receptor-associated protein 31 (BCAP31) is a widely expressed transmembrane protein primarily located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), including the ER-mitochondria associated membranes. Emerging evidence suggests that BCAP31 may play a role in cancer development and progression, although its specific effects across different cancer types remain incompletely understood.
Methods: The raw data on BCAP31 expression in tumor and adjacent non-tumor (paracancerous) samples were obtained from the Broad Institute Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE) and UCSC databases.

Objective: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) participate in the formation, progression, and metastasis of cancer. This study aimed to explore the roles of the lncRNA ST8SIA6 antisense RNA 1 (ST8SIA6-AS1) in tumorigenesis and elucidate the underlying molecular mechanism of its upregulation in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Material And Methods: A total of 56 in-house pairs of HCC tissues were examined, and ST8SIA6-AS1 levels were determined through real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
