To investigate the clinical significance of preoperative systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC).A retrospective analysis 1383 cases CRC was performed following radical surgery. SII calculated formula = (P × N)/L, where P, N, and L refer to peripheral platelet, neutrophil, lymphocyte counts, respectively. The clinicopathological features follow-up data were evaluated compare other inflammation-based prognostic indices such as neutrophil-lymphocyte...

Patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) - defined by lack of estrogen receptor and progesterone expression as well human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) amplification have a poor prognosis. There is need for targeted therapies to treat this condition. TNBCs frequently harbor mutations in TP53, resulting loss the G1 checkpoint reliance on kinase 1 (Chk1) arrest cells response DNA damage. Previous studies shown that inhibition Chk1 p53-deficient background results apoptosis...

Here we reveal that BRCA1 has a dual role regulating ferroptosis. promotes transcription voltage-dependent anion channel 3 (VDAC3) and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4); consequently, deficiency cellular resistance erastin-induced ferroptosis but sensitizes cells induced by GPX4 (GPX4i). In addition,...

Abstract Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most lethal malignancies worldwide. Despite extensive efforts to develop novel therapeutic targets, effective drugs for GC remain limited. Recent studies have indicated that Lipocalin (LCN)2 abnormalities significantly impact progression; however, its regulatory network remains unclear. Our study investigates functional role and mechanism action LCN2 in progression. We observed a positive correlation between expression, lower grade, better prognosis...

Lymph node metastasis is a significant factor in gastric cancer prognosis. It well known that cells secrete lymphangiogenic factors, thereby promoting lymphangiogenesis. However, the effects of lymphatic endothelial cell (LEC)-secreted factors on process lymphangiogenesis and tumor remain unclear. We established an animal model successfully isolated LECs from afferent lymph vessels sentinel nodes (SLNs) models. A microarray analysis was performed to characterize gene expression profile...

Despite advances in early diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients, metastasis remains the major cause mortality. TP53 is one most frequently mutated genes human cancer, these alterations can occur during stages oncogenesis or as later events tumors progress to more aggressive forms. Previous studies have suggested that p53 plays a role cellular pathways govern metastasis. To investigate how deficiency contributes late-stage tumor growth metastasis, we developed paired isogenic...
