The tumor microenvironment (TME) within mucosal neoplastic tissue in oral cancer (ORCA) is greatly influenced by tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). Here, a clustering method was performed using CIBERSORT profiles of ORCA data that were filtered from the publicly accessible patients with head and neck Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) hierarchical where regrouped into binary risk groups based on clustering-measuring scores survival patterns associated individual groups. Based this analysis,...

Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) play a pivotal role in blood cell production, maintaining the health homeostasis of individuals. Dysregulation HSPC function can lead to blood-related diseases, including cancer. Despite its importance, our understanding genes pathways underlying development associated pathological mechanisms remains limited. To elucidate these unknown mechanisms, we analyzed databases patients with disorders performed functional gene studies using zebrafish....

Abstract Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is a blood cancer where undifferentiated cells are increased in the bone marrow and peripheral blood. As AML dangerous shows poor prognosis, many researchers categorised relevant cytogenetic factors according to risk prognosis. However, specific reasons for remain unknown. We analysed large data set from patients found that TPD52 expression elevated patient groups with factors. amino acid sequence of evolutionally conserved vertebrates, zebrafish...

Recent comparative studies have indicated distinct expression profiles of short, non-coding microRNAs (miRNAs) in various types cancer, including oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). In this study, we employed a hybrid approach using Drosophila melanogaster as well OSCC lines to validate putative targets cancer-related miRNAs both vivo and vitro. Following overexpression miR-31, found significant decrease the size imaginal wing discs downregulation subset targets, wntless (wls), an important...

Relapse of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is dangerous and it worsens the prognosis patients; however, prognostic markers or therapeutic targets for ALL remain unknown. In present study, using databases such as TARGET, GSE60926 GSE28460, we determined that KIF2C its binding partner, KIF18B are overexpressed in patients with relapsed compared to diagnosed first time. As 50% residues exactly same signature domain highly conserved between human zebrafish, used zebrafish embryos a model...

Cutaneous melanoma is the most common cause of skin cancer-related deaths worldwide. There an urgent need to identify prognostic biomarkers facilitate decision-making for treatment metastatic cutaneous melanoma. Gene expression microarrays and RNA-seq technology have recently improved or changed current therapeutic strategies several cancers. However, according staging system, prognosis almost entirely dependent on clinicopathological features. To novel biomarkers, we investigated gene...

Glioma is the most common primary malignant tumor that occurs in central nervous system. Gliomas are subdivided according to a combination of microscopic morphological, molecular, and genetic factors. Glioblastoma (GBM) aggressive tumor; however, efficient therapies or specific target molecules for GBM have not been developed. We accessed RNA-seq clinical data from The Cancer Genome Atlas, Chinese GSE16011 dataset, identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were both lower-grade glioma...
