Background: Genetic polymorphisms of molecules are known to cause individual differences in the therapeutic efficacy of anticancer drugs. However, to date, germline mutations (but not somatic mutations) for anticancer drugs have not been adequately studied. The objective of this study was to investigate the association between germline polymorphisms of gemcitabine metabolic and transporter genes with carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) response (decrease ≥50% from the pretreatment level at 8 weeks) and overall survival (OS) in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer who receive gemcitabine-based chemotherapy.

Drug resistance is a major problem in cancer treatment with traditional or targeted therapeutics. Gemcitabine is approved for several human cancers and the first line treatment for locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, gemcitabine resistance frequently occurs and is a major problem in successful treatments of these cancers and the mechanism of gemcitabine resistance remains largely unknown.

Objective: Ribonucleotide reductase M2 (RRM2) as an enzyme that catalyzes the deoxyreduction of nucleosides to deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate (dNTP) has been extensively studied, and it plays a crucial role in regulating cell proliferation. However, its role in ischemia-reperfusion injury (I/RI) is still unclear.
Methods: SD rats were used as the research object to detect the expression of RRM2 in the myocardium by constructing an I/RI model.

BACKGROUND This study aimed to perform coexpression analysis of the EZH2 gene using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Oncomine databases to identify coexpressed genes involved in biological networks in breast cancer, glioblastoma, and prostate cancer, with functional analysis of the EZH2 gene in the C4-2 human prostate cancer cell line in vitro. MATERIAL AND METHODS Data from TCGA and Oncomine databases were analyzed to determine the expression of EZH2 and the top five coexpressed genes in breast cancer, glioblastoma, and prostate cancer and the clinical significance the coexpressed genes. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis was performed to predict the functions and pathways of EZH2 using pathway annotation.

Cervical cancer (CC) is one of the commonest malignant cancers among women with high morbidity and mortality. Despite encouraging advances had been found in diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, effective therapeutic strategy and further exploration of the mechanism underlying in CC is still needed. We searched The Cancer Genome Atlas database and found that long noncoding RNA LINC02535 was highly expressed in CC.
