Kaempferol, a natural flavonoid, exhibits anticancer properties by scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, increasing evidence has demonstrated that, under certain conditions, kaempferol can inhibit tumor growth upregulating ROS levels. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether effectively suppresses pancreatic cancer through upregulation of ROS, and explore the underlying molecular mechanism.PANC-1 Mia PaCa-2 cells were exposed different concentrations kaempferol. Cell...

Abstract Aims Our aim was to assess the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in US 5-year survivors adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer compared with those general population contemporaneous childhood cancer. Methods results A total 160 834 AYA (aged 15–39 years at diagnosis) were included, representing 2 239 390 person-years follow-up. Overall, 2910 CVD deaths occurred, which 1.4-fold [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.3–1.4] that expected population, corresponding 3.6 (95% CI...

Soybean is one of the most important food crops in world. However, with environmental change recent years, many factors like drought, salinity, heavy metal, and disease seriously affected growth development soybean, causing substantial economic losses. In this study, we screened a bZIP transcription factor gene, GmbZIP152, which significantly induced by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (S. sclerotiorum), phytohormones, salt-, drought-, metal stresses soybean. We found that overexpression GmbZIP152...

To learn more about the locations of dopamine D2 receptors (D2Rs) that regulate form-deprivation myopia (FDM), using different transgenic mouse models.One eye D2R-knockout (KO) mice and wild-type littermates was subjected to four weeks monocular FDM, whereas fellow served as control. Mice in both groups received daily intraperitoneal injections either D2R antagonist sulpiride (8 µg/g) or vehicle alone. FDM also induced retina- (Six3creD2Rfl/fl) fibroblast-specific (S100a4creD2Rfl/fl) D2R-KO...

Drought is the principal abiotic stress that severely impacts cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) growth and productivity. Upon sensing drought, plants activate stress-related signal transduction pathways, including ABA mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade. However, as key components with fewest members in MAPK cascade, function regulation of GhMKKs need to be elucidated. In addition, relationship between module core signaling pathway remains incompletely understood.Here we aim elucidate...

Purpose: We reported previously that changes in dopamine receptor (DR) subtype activation modulate spontaneous myopia progression albino guinea pigs. To determine if DR control of refractive error development is different than its normal counterpart, we evaluated the contribution dopaminergic pathways to emmetropization and form deprivation (FDM) pigmented Methods: Monocular was induced by unilateral form-deprivation (FD). The effects agonists D1R (SKF38393) D2R (quinpirole), corresponding...

Abstract Background Protein kinases play a pivotal role in the malignant evolution of pancreatic cancer (PC) through mediating phosphorylation. Many kinase inhibitors have been developed and translated into clinical use, while complex pathology PC confounds their efficacy warrants discovery more effective therapeutic targets. Methods Here, we used Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database protein datasets to map PC-related kinase-encoding genes. Then, applying Profiling Interactive Analysis...

Lung cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in world. It has become an increasingly important public health problem China. In this study, we systematically assessed lung situation China from 1990 to 2019 and provided epidemiological knowledge base for revision policies. The relevant data were extracted Global Burden Disease (GBD) database.

Background: Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD) is a highly malignant tumor in urgent need of novel diagnostics, prognostic markers, and treatments. Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 subunits (EIF2Ss), comprising subunit alpha (EIF2S1), beta (EIF2S2), gamma (EIF2S3), family eukaryotic factors that participate early protein synthesis are crucial for progression. However, the role EIF2Ss PAAD has yet to be reported. The aim this study was therefore analyze relation diagnosis, prognosis,...

Global water scarcity and extreme weather intensify drought stress, significantly reducing cotton yield quality worldwide. Drought treatments are conducted using a population of chromosome segment substitution lines generated from E22 (G. hirsutum) 3-79 barbadense) as parental either show superior yields or fiber under both control conditions. Fourteen datasets, covering 4 traits, compiled assessed for resistance the coefficient (DRC) membership function value (MFVD). Genome-wide association...

Abstract Background The prognosis of pancreatic cancer is poor, with a 5-year survival rate less than 10%. Studies have shown that chemokines in the tumour microenvironment are often altered, which associated immune infiltration and patients. Methods Multiomics bioinformatics tools were used to clarify CXC chemokine expression its role ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) microenvironment. Results Most upregulated correlated patient prognosis. can activate cancer-related signalling pathways affect...

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide. The development high-throughput single-cell RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) technology and advent multi-omics have provided a solid basis for systematic understanding heterogeneity in cancers. Although numerous studies revealed molecular features NSCLC, it important to identify validate biomarkers related specific NSCLC phenotypes at resolution. In this study, we analyzed validated RNA-seq data by integrating...
