Tropomyosin receptor kinase (Trk) inhibitors have shown high response rates in patients with tumors harboring NTRK fusions. We identified 4 fusion-positive uterine sarcomas that should be distinguished from leiomyosarcoma and undifferentiated sarcoma. rearrangements were detected by fluorescence situ hybridization (FISH) and/or targeted RNA or DNA sequencing spindle cell morphology. Because of histologic overlap leiomyosarcoma, TrkA pan-Trk immunohistochemistry was performed 97...

With the advent of next-generation sequencing, an increasing number novel gene fusions and other abnormalities have emerged recently in spectrum EWSR1 -negative small blue round cell tumors (SBRCTs). In this regard, a subset SBRCTs harboring either BCOR ( BCOR-CCNB3 , BCOR-MAML3 ), internal tandem duplications (ITD), or YWHAE-NUTM2B share transcriptional signature including high mRNA expression, as well similar histologic features. Furthermore, such clear sarcoma kidney (CCSK) primitive...

Small blue round cell tumors (SBRCTs) are a heterogenous group of that difficult to diagnose because overlapping morphologic, immunohistochemical, and clinical features. About two-thirds EWSR1-negative SBRCTs associated with CIC-DUX4-related fusions, whereas another small subset shows BCOR-CCNB3 X-chromosomal paracentric inversion. Applying paired-end RNA sequencing an SBRCT index case 44-year-old man, we identified novel BCOR-MAML3 chimeric fusion, which was validated by reverse...

Recent evidence shows that cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)/stimulator of interferon (IFN) genes (STING) signaling is essential for antitumor immunity by inducing the production type I IFN and thus activating both innate adaptive based on gene knockout mouse models. However, extensive detection expression cGAS/STING in human cancer mining roles this pathway have not been performed until now. In study, we revealed four key molecules (cGAS, STING, TANK binding kinase 1 [TBK1], regulatory factor...

The multidrug resistance (MDR) of cancer cells is a major obstacle in chemotherapy and very few strategies are available to overcome it. Here, new strategy developed codeliver π–π stacked dual anticancer drug combination with an actively targeted, pH‐ reduction‐sensitive polymer micellar platform for combating tumor metastasis. In contrast other methods, two traditional chemotherapeutics, doxorubicin (DOX) 10‐hydroxycamptothecin complex aromatic conjugated structures, integrated into one...

Abstract Background Our previous studies demonstrated that the administration of crude Polysaccharide from Panax notoginseng (CPPN) can effectively prolong lifespan tumor-bearing mice via boosting host immune system as well weak cytotoxicity against hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In present study, Neutral (NPPN) were further purified polysaccharide isolated panax . The effects NPPN on function and hematopoietic with low immunity myelosuppression induced by cyclophosphamide (CTX)...

Abstract 15‐Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (15‐HETE), a product of arachidonic (AA) catalyzed by 15‐lipoxygenase (15‐LO), plays an essential role in hypoxic pulmonary arterial hypertension. We have previously shown that 15‐HETE inhibits apoptosis artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs). To test the hypothesis such effect is attributable to hypoxia‐induced vascular remodeling (PVR), we performed these studies. found subtle thickening proximal media/adventitia arteries (PA) rats had been exposed...

The early diagnosis and accurate prognosis prediction of esophageal cancer is an essential part improving survival. However, these diseases lack effective specific markers. A total 1,744 samples HumanMethylation450 data were integrated to identify validate methylation markers for adenocarcinoma (EAC) squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) as well Barrett's esophagus (BE) using Cancer Genome Atlas the Gene Expression Omnibus. diagnostic prognostic classifiers constructed by moderated t-statistics...

Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is the most frequent form of glomerulonephritis, which characterized by glomerular proliferation and renal inflammation. Icariin a flavonoid from Chinese herb Epimedium, its anti-inflammatory effect has been reported. This study aimed to investigate effects icariin on damage in IgAN rats mechanisms behind these effects. model was established Sprague-Dawley oral intravenous immunization with bovine gamma-globulin for 12 weeks, were treated 18 weeks. At end...

Abstract Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) could modulate expression of immune checkpoints (ICPs) by cooperating with immunity genes in tumor immunization. However, precise functions and potential for predicting ICP inhibitors (ICI) response have been described only a few lncRNAs. Here we present an integrated framework that leverages network-based analyses Bayesian network inference to identify the regulated relationships including lncRNA, as ICP-related LncRNAs mediated Core Regulatory...

Abstract Most pancreatic islets are destroyed immediately after intraportal transplantation by an instant blood-mediated inflammatory reaction (IBMIR) generated through activation of coagulation, complement, and proinflammatory pathways. Thus, effective mitigation IBMIR may be contingent on the combined use agents targeting these pathways for modulation. CD47 thrombomodulin (TM) two molecules with distinct functions in regulating coagulation responses. We previously reported that islet...
