Abstract Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are the most abundant inflammatory infiltrates in tumor microenvironment and contribute to lymph node (LN) metastasis. However, precise mechanisms of TAMs-induced LN metastasis remain largely unknown. Herein, we identify a long noncoding RNA, termed Lymph Node Metastasis Associated Transcript 1 ( LNMAT1 ), which is upregulated LN-positive bladder cancer associated with prognosis. Through gain loss function approaches, find that promotes...
Patients with bladder cancer (BCa) clinical lymph node (LN) metastasis have an extremely poor prognosis. VEGF-C has been demonstrated to play vital roles in LN BCa. However, approximately 20% of BCa exhibits low expression, suggesting a VEGF-C–independent mechanism for Herein, we demonstrate that cell–secreted exosome-mediated lymphangiogenesis promoted manner. We identified exosomal long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), termed metastasis-associated transcript 2 (LNMAT2), stimulated human lymphatic...
Abstract Purpose: Chemoresistance and tumor relapse are the leading cause of deaths in bladder cancer patients. Bladder stem cells (BCSCs) have been reported to contribute these pathologic properties. However, molecular mechanisms underlying their self-renewal chemoresistance remain largely unknown.

Castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) that occurs after the failure of androgen deprivation therapy is leading cause deaths in patients. Thus, there an obvious and urgent need to fully understand mechanism CRPC discover novel therapeutic targets. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are crucial regulators many human cancers, yet their potential roles molecular mechanisms poorly understood. In this study, we discovered lncRNA HOXD-AS1 highly expressed cells correlated closely with Gleason...

BACKGROUNDCurrent methods for the detection and surveillance of bladder cancer (BCa) are often invasive and/or possess suboptimal sensitivity specificity, especially in early-stage, minimal, residual tumors.METHODSWe developed an efficient method, termed utMeMA, urine tumor DNA methylation at multiple genomic regions by MassARRAY. We identified BCa-specific markers combined analyses cohorts from Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital (SYSMH), The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Gene Expression Omnibus...
The prognosis for bladder cancer patients with lymph node (LN) metastasis is dismal and only minimally improved by current treatment modalities. Elucidation of the molecular mechanisms that underlie LN may provide clinical therapeutic strategies LN-metastatic cancer. Here, we report a long noncoding RNA LINC00958, which have termed cancer-associated transcript 2 (BLACAT2), was markedly upregulated in correlated metastasis. Overexpression BLACAT2 promoted lymphangiogenesis lymphatic both...
Abstract Background The association between depression and prostate carcinogenesis has been reported in observational studies but the causality from on cancer (PCa) remained unknown. We aimed to assess causal effect of PCa using two‐sample Mendelian randomization (MR) method. Methods Two sets genetics instruments were used for analysis, derived publicly available genetic summary data. One was 44 single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) robustly associated with major depressive disorder (MDD)...
Knowledge of somatic mutation accumulation in normal cells, which is essential for understanding cancer development and evolution, remains largely lacking. In this study, we investigated clonal events morphologically human urothelium (MNU; epithelium lining the bladder ureter) identified macroscopic expansions. Aristolochic acid (AA), a natural herb-derived compound, was major mutagenic driving factor MNU. AA drastically accelerates enhances expansion. Mutations MNU were widely observed...
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been considered to mediate occurrence and development of human cancers, generally acting as microRNA (miRNA) sponges regulate downstream genes expression. However, the aberrant expression profile dysfunction circRNAs in bladder cancer remain be investigated.

Small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) binding (termed SUMOylation) emerged as the inducer for sorting of bioactive molecules into extracellular vesicles (EVs), triggering lymphangiogenesis and further driving tumor lymph node (LN) metastasis, but precise mechanisms remain largely unclear. Here, we show that bladder cancer (BCa) cell-secreted EVs mediated intercellular communication with human lymphatic endothelial cells (HLECs) through transmission long noncoding RNA ELNAT1 promoted LN...
Abstract Epitranscriptomic RNA modifications constitute a critical gene regulatory component that can affect cancer progression. Among these, the N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) modification, which is mediated by ac4C writer N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10), regulates stabilization of mRNA. Here, we identified modification induced upon cisplatin treatment and correlates with chemoresistance in bladder cancer. Both vitro vivo, NAT10 promoted cells enhancing DNA damage repair (DDR). Mechanistically,...
