SOD1 is known as the major cytoplasmic superoxide dismutase and an anticancer target. However, role of in cancer not fully understood. Herein we describe generation inducible Sod1 knockout KRAS-driven NSCLC mouse model. markedly reduces tumor burden vivo blocks growth KRAS mutant cells vitro. Intriguingly, enriched nucleus notably nucleolus cells. The nuclear nucleolar, cytoplasmic, form essential for lung cell proliferation. Moreover, interacts with PeBoW complex controls its assembly...

Peripheral nerve injury (PNI)-induced neuropathic pain (NP) is a severe disease with high prevalence in clinics. Gene reprogramming and tissue remodeling the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) spinal cord (SC) drive development maintenance of (NP). However, our understanding NP-associated spatial molecular processing landscape SC non-synaptic interactions between DRG neurons cells remains limited. We here integrate transcriptomics (ST) single-nucleus RNA-sequencing (snRNA-seq) bulk (bulk RNA-seq) to...

The phosphatidylinositol 3‐kinase/phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5‐trisphosphate 3‐phosphatase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin (PI3K‐PTEN‐AKT‐mTOR) pathway is a central controller cell growth and key driver for human cancer. MAF1 an mTOR downstream effector transcriptional repressor ribosomal transfer RNA genes. expression markedly reduced in hepatocellular carcinomas, which correlated with disease progression poor prognosis. Consistently, displays tumor‐suppressor activity toward...

Objective EIF4EBP1 acts as a crucial effector in mTOR signaling pathway. Studies have suggested that plays critical role carcinogenesis. However, the clinical significance and biological of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) not been elucidated. Therefore, we aimed to investigate HCC. Methods Total 128 cases HCCs were included this study. expression HCC tissues was detected by qRT-PCR, Western blot immunohistochemistry, respectively. Then relationships between features well survival analyzed....

Poly-ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors are vital therapeutic agents that exploit synthetic lethality, particularly effective in tumors with homologous recombination (HR) defects. However, broadening their clinical utility remains a significant challenge. In this study, we conducted high-throughput kinase inhibitor screen to identify potential targets exhibiting synthetical lethality PARP inhibitors. Our results show thousand and one amino acid protein 1 (TAOK1) plays pivotal role the...

Combining molecular classification with clinicopathologic methods improves risk assessment and chooses therapies for endometrial cancer (EC). Detecting mismatch repair (MMR) deficiencies in EC is crucial screening Lynch syndrome identifying immunotherapy candidates. An affordable accessible tool urgently needed to determine MMR status patients. We introduce MMRNet, a deep convolutional neural network designed predict MMR-deficient from whole-slide images stained hematoxylin eosin. MMRNet...

The peripheral sensory nervous system (PNS) has been widely recognized for its role in the collection, processing, and transmission of information, including thermal, mechanical, chemical, proprioceptive stimuli. In recent years, there a growing scholarly interest PNS attributable to multiple physiological pathophysiological non-sensory roles organs it innervates. exerts regulatory functions within innervates through direct interactions with local cells or microbe-nerve-cell that differ from...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common and deadly human cancers. The 5-year survival rate very low. Unfortunately, there are few efficacious therapeutic options. Until recently, Sorafenib has been only available systemic drug for advanced HCC. However, it limited benefits, new therapies urgently needed. In this study, we investigated anti-HCC activity carfilzomib, a second-generation, irreversible proteasome inhibitor, as single agent in combination with sorafenib.

Protein kinases are therapeutic targets for human cancer. However, "gatekeeper" mutations in tyrosine cause acquired clinical resistance, limiting long-term treatment benefits. mTOR is a key cancer driver and drug target. Numerous small-molecule kinase inhibitors have been developed, with some already trials. Given our experience targeted therapeutics, resistance thought likely, but not yet documented. Herein, we describe identification of hot spot (L2185) drug-resistant mutations, which...

ABSTRACT Liposomes are microscopic vesicles composed of phospholipid bilayers surrounding discrete aqueous compartment. Eventhough formed spontaneously in water, their conventional preparation methods involve either organic solvents or detergent molecules. Organic may create a serious safety problem during liposome manufacturing especially on large scale and can cause denaturation proteins affect the membrane properties. very promising carriers for protein drugs which have aroused great...
