Abstract Purpose: TGF-β promotes tumor invasion and metastasis by inducing an epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT). However, the underlying mechanisms causing this are not entirely clear. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNA) have been shown to play important regulatory roles in cancer progression. The lncRNA malat1 (metastasis associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1) is a critical regulator of phenotype cells. Experimental Design: We, therefore, investigated whether regulates expression...

Abstract Antiangiogenic therapy targeting VEGF‐A has become the standard of first‐line for non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, its clinical response rate is still less than 50%, and most patients eventually develop resistance, even when using combination with chemotherapy. The major cause resistance activation complex bypass signals that induce angiogenesis tumor progression. Therefore, exploring novel proangiogenic mechanisms developing promising targets are crucial improving...

Deficiency of adenosine deaminase type 2 (DADA2) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by bi-allelic loss-of-function mutations in ADA2. Treatment with anti-TNF effective for the autoinflammatory and vasculitic components but does not correct marrow failure or immunodeficiency; anti-drug antibodies cause loss efficacy over time. Allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation may be curative, graft versus host remains a significant concern. Autologous gene therapy would therefore...
