Abstract Malignant ascites is a common complication in the late stages of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) that greatly diminishes quality life patients. known consequence vascular dysfunction, but current approved treatments are not effective preventing fluid accumulation. In this study, we investigated an alternative strategy targeting macrophage functions to reverse pathology malignant using from human patients and immunocompetent murine model (ID8) EOC mirrors disease by developing...
Abstract Purpose: The proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-32 (IL-32) is a novel tumor marker highly expressed in various human carcinomas, including gastric cancer. However, its effects on prognosis of patients with cancer and metastasis are virtually unknown at present. main aim this study was to explore the clinical significance IL-32 further elucidate molecular mechanisms underlying IL-32–mediated migration invasion. Experimental Design: Gastric cells ectopic expression or silencing were...
E-cigarettes, the most popular tobacco product among adolescents, vary widely in design and nicotine composition; thus, different devices may have addictive potential. However, few studies examine levels of dependence across adolescent young adult (AYA) e-cigarette users. To assess extent US AYA (ages 13-24) by device type, we conducted a large, national, cross-sectional survey (n = 4351) used Hooked on Nicotine Checklist (HONC) to those who had disposable, pod-based, and/or mods/other past...
Thyroid hormone (T(3)) signaling through the thyroid receptor (TRα1) regulates hepatoma cell growth and pathophysiology, but underlying mechanisms are unclear at present. Here, we have shown that oncomir microRNA-21 (miR-21) is activated by T(3) a native response element in primary miR-21 promoter. Overexpression of promoted migration invasion, similar to observed with stimulation cells. In addition, anti-miR-21-induced suppression was rescued T(3). The Rac-controlled regulator invasion...
Nonnicotine e-cigarettes contain chemicals, flavorants, and solvents that have known health harms and/or not been proven safe for inhalation.To evaluate nonnicotine e-cigarette use patterns, including common flavors, brands, ingredients.This cross-sectional study included a convenience sample of US residents aged 13 to 40 years who completed an online survey in November December 2021. Quota sampling was used equal proportion participants 17 years, 18 20 21 balanced sex, race, ethnicity per...
Previous in vitro and case-control studies have found an association between the insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-axis bladder cancer risk. Circulating concentrations of IGF-I also been to be associated with increased risk several types; however, relationship pre-diagnostic circulating has never studied prospectively. We investigated plasma overall urothelial cell carcinoma (UCC) a study nested within European Prospective Investigation into Cancer Nutrition (EPIC) cohort. A total 843 men...
