Abstract Particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) is a risk factor for lung cancer. In this study, we investigated the molecular mechanisms of PM2.5 exposure on cancer progression. We found that short‐term to 24 h activated EGFR pathway in cells (EGFR wild‐type and mutant), while long‐term 90 days persistently promoted activation, cell proliferation, anchorage‐independent growth, tumor growth xenograft mouse model EGFR‐driven H1975 cells. showed AhR translocate into nucleus activation. further...

EphrinA5, a member of the ephrinA subclass, is downregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and acts as tumor suppressor. However, upstream regulation mechanism ephrinA5 remains unclear. In this study, we tried to identify characterize roles miR-96 miR-182 expression HCC. The levels were examined 47 paired HCC para-tumoral liver tissues using quantitative real-time RT-PCR. luciferase reporter assay western blotting employed dissect association between miR-96/182 expression. Moreover,...
Recently, increasing numbers of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), with both oncogenic and tumor-suppressive potential, have been found to be aberrantly expressed in various human cancers. However, the function lncRNAs hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression remains largely unknown. In this study, we performed a comprehensive microarray analysis lncRNA expression using HCC specimens. After validation 119 tissues, identified novel tumor suppressor lncRNA, CPS1 intronic transcript 1 (CPS1-IT1)....
Detection of nodal micrometastasis (tumor size: 0.2-2.0 mm) is challenging for pathologists due to the small size metastatic foci. Since lymph nodes with are counted as positive nodes, detecting crucial accurate pathologic staging colorectal cancer. Previously, deep learning algorithms developed manually annotated images performed well in identifying breast cancer sentinel nodes. However, process manual annotation labor intensive and time consuming. Multiple instance was later used identify...
Abstract In the long history of traditional Chinese medicine, single herbs and complex formulas have been suggested to increase lifespan. However, identification molecules responsible for lifespan extension has challenging. Here, we collected a list medicines with potential longevity properties from pharmacopeias. By utilizing mother enrichment program, systematically screened these identified herb, Psoralea corylifolia , that increases in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Next, twenty-two pure...
Corylin is a flavonoid extracted from the nuts of Psoralea corylifolia L. (Fabaceae), which widely used anti-inflammatory and anticancer herb in China. Recent studies revealed antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, bone differentiation-promoting effects corylin. However, there are no examining activity In this study, we cells animal models to examine antitumor corylin on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) then studied its downstream regulatory mechanisms. The results showed that significantly inhibited...
Hinokitiol displays potent antimicrobial activity. It has been used in toothpaste and oral-care gel to improve the oral lichen planus reduce halitosis. The aim of this study was evaluate activity 3 different dental root canal sealers with hinokitiol (sealers+H) their physical biological effects. AH Plus (epoxy amine resin-based, AH), Apexit (calcium-hydroxide-based, AP), Canals (zinc-oxide-eugenol-based, CA), were study. original CA exhibited strong anti-methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus...
Isoliquiritigenin (ISL), a natural compound extracted from licorice, has chemopreventive and antitumor activities. The purpose of this study was to investigate the anticancer effect ISL on human oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).The anti-OSCC effects were evaluated using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide test, flow cytometry, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, Western blotting, promoter activity, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end...
Patients with triple-negative breast cancer have few therapeutic strategy options. In this study, we investigated the effect of isoliquiritigenin (ISL) on proliferation cells. We found that treatment ISL inhibited cell line (MDA-MB-231) growth and increased cytotoxicity. reduced cycle progression through reduction cyclin D1 protein expression sub-G1 phase population. The ISL-induced apoptotic population was observed by flow cytometry analysis. Bcl-2 treatment, whereas Bax level increased;...
Honokiol and magnolol are natural components isolated from Magnolia bark that is used in traditional Chinese Japanese herbal medicine. These two isomers as a component of dietary supplements cosmetic products. In this study, we investigated the antimicrobial effect honokiol on pathogens causing oral diseases, their mechanism action biofilm formation drug resistance pathogens, inflammatory regulation mammalian cells. We determined minimum inhibitory concentration bactericidal magnolol,...
Abstract Corylin, a biologically active agent extracted from Psoralea corylifolia L. (Fabaceae), promotes bone differentiation and inhibits inflammation. Currently, few reports have addressed the biological functions that are regulated by corylin, to date, no studies investigated its antitumor activity. In this study, we used cell functional assays analyze activity of corylin in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Furthermore, whole-transcriptome were performed identify downstream genes...
Pathologic diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) can be challenging since most cases are nonkeratinizing with little differentiation and many admixed lymphocytes. Our aim was to evaluate the possibility identify NPC in biopsies using deep learning. A total 726 were included. Among them, 100 randomly selected as testing set, 20 validation all other 606 training set. All three datasets had equal numbers benign cases. Manual annotation performed. Cropped square image patches 256 × pixels...
Background The immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) targeting programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) and its ligand (PD-L1) has been proved beneficial for numerous types of cancers, including non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, a significant number patients with NSCLC still fail to respond ICB due unfavorable tumor microenvironment. To improve the efficacy, immune-chemotherapy combination pemetrexed, cis/carboplatin pembrolizumab (anti-PD-1) recently approved as first-line treatment in advanced...
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are approved treatments for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients harboring activating EGFR mutations. The C797S mutation is one of the known acquired-resistance mutations to latest third-generation TKIs. At present, there no clear options treating who acquire resistance acquisition was shown upregulate expression AXL, a TAM (TYRO3-AXL-MER) family, and suppression AXL effective in reducing NSCLC cells C797S. As...
