Background: Barrier-to-autointegration factor 1 (BANF1) is an abundant and ubiquitously expressed postnatal mammalian protein that is overexpressed in numerous human cancers and can promote cancer cell proliferation. However, the role of BANF1 in prognosis remains unclear in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).
Methods: BANF1 expression data were obtained from the GEO and TCGA databases. We used Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier curves to assess the prognostic potential of BANF1. The role of BANF1-related genes was investigated using Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analyses. In addition, we explored the link between BANF1, drug sensitivity, and the tumor immune microenvironment. Finally, functional and assays were used to explore the effects of BANF1 on tumor growth and metastasis of HNSCC.
Results: BANF1 was markedly overexpressed in HNSCC and was correlated with clinicopathological characteristics. According to survival analysis, BANF1 can be inversely correlated with patient survival and can act as a prognostic risk indicator. IC50 values for chemotherapeutic treatments indicated that the group with high BANF1 expression was more responsive to most antitumor treatments. Furthermore, higher TIDE scores were observed in the low BANF1 expression group, indicating a decline in the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy. Functionally, the malignant biological behavior of HNSCC cell lines was inhibited when BANF1 expression was knocked down.
Conclusion: BANF1 can promote tumor progression in patients with HNSCC. BANF1 shows great promise as a potential biomarker to assess the prognosis.

Alterations in the nuclear envelope are linked to a variety of rare diseases termed laminopathies. A single amino acid substitution at position 12 (A12T) of the human nuclear envelope protein BAF (Barrier to Autointegration Factor) causes Néstor-Guillermo Progeria Syndrome (NGPS). This premature ageing condition leads to growth retardation and severe skeletal defects, but the underlying mechanisms are unknown.

Article Synopsis
- Rare recessive variants in the VRK1 gene are linked to various motor neuron diseases (MND), with distinct functional differences between two novel variants, Leu200Pro (L200P) and Arg387His (R387H).
- The L200P variant is identified as inactive in kinase activity, affecting crucial processes like phosphorylation of BAF and histone H4K16 acetylation, which are essential for DNA repair and nuclear functions.
- In contrast, the R387H variant retains partial kinase activity and influences DNA damage response pathways, showcasing how different VRK1 variants contribute to the clinical variability in neurological conditions.

Strophanthidin (SPTD), one of the cardiac glycosides, is refined from traditional Chinese medicines such as and , and was initially used for the treatment of heart failure disease in clinic. Recently, SPTD has been shown to be a potential anticancer agent, but the underlying mechanism of action is poorly understood. Herein, we explored the molecular mechanism by which SPTD exerts anticancer effects in A549 human lung adenocarcinoma cells by means of mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomics in combination with bioinformatics analysis.

Gastric cancer (GC) is a widespread malignancy characterized by a notably high incidence rate and an unfavorable prognosis. We conducted a meticulous analysis of GC high-throughput sequencing data downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) repository to pinpoint distinctive genes associated with GC. Our investigation successfully identified three signature genes implicated in GC, with a specific focus on the barrier to autointegration factor 1 (BANF1), which exhibits elevated expression across various cancer types, including GC.
