Abstract Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been implicated in cancer progression through largely unknown mechanisms. Herein, we identify an N 6 -methyladenosine (m A) modified circRNA, circNSUN2, frequently upregulated tumor tissues and serum samples from colorectal carcinoma (CRC) patients with liver metastasis (LM) predicts poorer patient survival. The expression of circNSUN2 promotes LM PDX models vivo accelerates cells invasion vitro. Importantly, modification increases export to the...

Dysregulation of non-coding RNAs, including miRNAs and lncRNAs has been reported to play vital roles in gastric cancer (GC) carcinogenesis, but the mechanism involved is largely unknown. Using genome atlas (TCGA) data set bioinformatics analyses, we identified miR-532-5p as a potential tumor suppressor GC, found that lncRNA LINC01410 might be negative regulator miR-532-5p. We then conducted series vivo vitro assays explore effect on miR-532-5p-mediated GC malignancy underlying involved....
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) has the highest metastatic potential among head and neck cancers. Distant metastasis is major cause of treatment failure.

Enhanced aerobic glycolysis constitutes an additional source of energy for tumor proliferation and metastasis. Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the main cause cervical cancer (CC); however, associated molecular mechanisms remain poorly defined, as does relationship between CC glycolysis. To investigate whether HPV 16/18 E6/E7 can enhance in CC, expression was knocked down SiHa HeLa cells using small interfering RNA (siRNA). Then, glucose uptake, lactate production, ATP levels,...
Chemoresistance is one of the leading causes therapeutic failure in gastric cancer (GC) treatment. Recent studies have shown lncRNAs play pivotal roles regulating GC chemoresistance.

Abstract High lymphocyte infiltration and immunosuppression characterize the tumor microenvironment (TME) in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). There is an urgent need to elucidate how cells escape immune attack develop novel therapeutic targets enhance efficacy of checkpoint blockade (ICB) RCC. Overactivated IFN‐ γ ‐induced JAK/STAT signaling involves such TME, but underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here, EH domain‐binding protein 1‐like 1 (EHBP1L1) identified as a crucial mediator...
Abstract Metastasis is the main cause of mortality in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Circular RNAs (circRNAs) involvement RCC metastasis has been described, although underlying mechanisms remain unknown. We evaluated recurring lung-metastasis cases using patient-derived xenograft models and isolated a highly metastatic clone. CircSPIRE1 was identified as metastasis-inhibiting circRNA clinical cohort models. Mechanistically, circSPIRE1 suppressed mesenchymal state through regulating ELAV like...
