Approximately 1/3 of T1 bladder cancers treated by endoscopic resection alone will progress. Prognostic factors are needed to help selecting appropriate treatment for these tumors. The purpose of the present investigation was to study the relation between p53 nuclear overexpression and disease progression. Tumors from 59 patients were studied by means of immunohistochemical nuclear staining. Forty tumors showed p53 nuclear overexpression while 19 tumors scored negative for mutations. We could not demonstrate any correlation between mutations of the p53 protein and tumor grading. p53 nuclear overexpression was not related to disease progression.

Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs), carrying PD-L1, have been implicated in immune evasion and tumor progression. However, understanding how PD-L1 sEVs are secreted still needs to be improved. We found that the secretion dynamics of PD-L1 sEVs is similar to that of other sEVs.

The orphan nuclear receptor NR2E3 has emerged as a potential tumor suppressor, yet its precise mechanisms in tumorigenesis require further investigation. Here, we demonstrate that the full-length protein isoform of NR2E3 instead of its short isoform activates wild-type p53 and is capable of rescuing certain p53 mutations in various cancer cell lines. Importantly, we observe a higher frequency of NR2E3 mutations in three solid tumors compared to the reference population, highlighting its potential significance in tumorigenesis.

Over the last decade, the functions of PHD finger protein 20 (PHF20) in several signaling processes have been studied, including those of protein kinase B (PKB)-mediated phosphorylation, p53 regulation, muscle differentiation, and histone modification including histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) methylation. One PHF20 human mutation lacks the first nonspecific lethal complex of the component that binds to H3K4me2 to facilitate cancer cell survival. In carcinoma cells, PHF20 expression is regulated by PKB; PHF20 becomes phosphorylated when DNA is damaged, thus inhibiting the p53 activity that maintains cancer cell survival.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) persistence is associated with molecular remodeling that fuels electrical conduction abnormalities in atrial tissue. Previous research revealed DNA damage as a molecular driver of AF.
Objectives: This study sought to explore the diagnostic value of DNA damage in atrial tissue and blood samples as an indicator of the prevalence of electrical conduction abnormalities and stage of AF.

Cataracts remain the leading cause of visual impairment worldwide, yet the underlying molecular mechanisms, particularly in age-related cataracts (ARCs), are not fully understood. The Notch signaling pathway, known for its critical role in various degenerative diseases, may also contribute to ARC pathogenesis, although its specific involvement is unclear. This study investigates the role of Notch signaling in regulating ferroptosis in lens epithelial cells (LECs) and its impact on ARC progression.
