Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have been shown to regulate gene expression involved in tumor progression of multiple malignancies. Our previous studies indicated that large suppressor kinase 1 (LATS1), a core part Hippo signaling pathway, functions as gastric cancer (GC). But, the underlying molecular mechanisms by which ncRNAs modulate LATS1 GC remain undetermined. The correlation and has-miR-424-5p (miR-424) with clinicopathological characteristics prognosis patients was analyzed TCGA...

Primary or acquired resistance to cetuximab often occurs during targeted therapy in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients. In many cancers, the key role of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) urothelial carcinoma-associated 1 (UCA1) anticancer drug has been confirmed. Emerging evidence shown that specific exosomal lncRNAs may serve as meaningful biomarkers. this study, we hypothesize UCA1 might predict response CRC patients.First, cetuximab-resistant cell lines were generated, and expressions...

This study was designed to investigate the neuroprotective effects of sulforaphane (an activator NF-E2-related factor 2) on mice with AD-like lesions induced by combined administration aluminum d-galactose. Step-down-type passive avoidance tests showed ameliorated cognitive impairment mice. Immunohistochemistry results indicated attenuated cholinergic neuron loss medial...

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common malignancy in United States. Chemotherapeutic resistance a massive obstacle for treatment. The roles and molecular basis of long non-coding RNA BRAF-activated noncoding (BANCR) CRC progression adriamycin (ADR) have not been extensively identified. In this study, we found that BANCR CSE1L expressions were upregulated tumor tissues. Meanwhile, expression was correlated with depth CRC. silencing suppressed cell proliferation invasion capacity,...

Abstract Sanguinarine, a bioactive benzophenanthridine alkaloid extracted from plants of the Papaveraceae family, has shown antitumour effects in multiple cancer cells. But therapeutic and regulatory mechanisms sanguinatine gastric (GC) remain elusive. This study was aimed to investigate correlation dual‐specificity phosphatase 4 (DUSP4) expression with clinicopathologic features overall survival patients GC explore sanguinarine on tumour growth invasion cells (SGC‐7901 HGC‐27) underlying...

As an important methyltransferase, G9a has been reported to be abnormally expressed in various human cancers and plays essential roles tumorigenesis. However, the biologic functions molecular mechanisms of gastric cancer (GC) remain unclear. GC is fifth most frequent around world seriously threatens health, especially developing countries. Here, our results showed that high expression was intensively correlated with poor prognosis more advanced stages GCs. Knockdown or treatment its...

TPS315 Background: CRT followed by total mesorectal excision (TME) is the standard care for patients with locally advanced low rectal cancer (≤ 5cm from anal margin). However, TME may lead to permanent colostomy and severely impact quality of life. Organ preservation is, therefore, a critical unmet need these patients. The proportion achieving clinical complete response (cCR) after relatively low, literature reporting around 20%. Total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) has been investigated increase...

Abstract Aberrant Hedgehog signaling and excessive activation of the Gli family transcriptional activators are key drivers medulloblastoma (MB), most common human pediatric brain malignancy. MB originates mainly from cerebellar granule neuron progenitors (CGNP), but mechanisms underlying CGNP transformation remain largely obscure. In this study, we found that suppression noncoding RNA Nkx2-2as promoted Sonic (Shh)-potentiated development. functioned as a competing endogenous against miR-103...

Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) is a common clinical process, and the lung one of most sensitive organs I/R injury, which often leads to acute injury (ALI). Tanshinone IIA (Tan IIA) has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-apoptotic activities. However, effects Tan on remain uncertain. Twenty-five C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into five groups: control (Ctrl), I/R, + IIA, LY294002 group. (30 μg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally 1 h before in groups. These data showed that significantly...
