In PTEN-deficient prostate cancers, AKT signaling may be activated upon suppression of androgen receptor signaling. Activation as well NF-κB involves a key regulatory protein complex containing PHLPP, FKBP51 and IKKα. Here, we report critical role lncRNA PCAT1 in regulating the PHLPP/FKBP51/IKKα progression castration-resistant cancer (CRPC). Using database queries, bioinformatic analyses, RIP RNA pull-down assays, discovered validated that lncRNA-PCAT1 perturbs activates Expression is...
Abstract Background Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are an important part of the tumour microenvironment, and their functions great concern. This series experiments aimed to explore how Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) regulates function stromal cells normal (NFs) convert into CAFs in prostate cancer (PCa). Methods The effects conditioned media from different on proliferation invasion epithelial TrampC1 were examined. We then analysed interaction between YAP1/TEAD1 complex SRC, as well...
Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is one of the main contributors to death patients. To date, detailed molecular mechanisms underlying mCRPC are unclear. Given crucial role epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) in metastasis, we aimed analyse expression and function Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) signal-associated protein named Sox5 mCRPC. The levels were analysed by western blot, immunohistochemistry immunofluorescence. Luciferase reporter assays chromatin...
Objective . To investigate the expression of kinesin family member 20A (KIF20A) in bladder cancer, effect KIF20A on proliferation and metastasis cancer cells, prognosis patients. Methods Bladder tissue its adjacent tissues were collected from tumour The mRNA protein levels samples detected by qRT-PCR western blot. Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining was used to identify distribution proteins samples. relationship between clinical pathology analysed. differential patients with analysed TCGA...
The independent prognostic role of squamous differentiation in pT1 bladder urothelial carcinoma has not been reported previous studies. This article describes the impact on tumor recurrence and survival, whether this histologic variant could indeed alter definitive treatment, based single center-based retrospective data.Totally, we retrieved (1)1449 histologically confirmed patients without variants; (2)227 with our institution, from May 2004 to Oct 2015. total amount high/low grade was...
Abstract Castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is a highly malignant type of advanced resistant to androgen deprivation therapy. One the important mechanisms for development CRPC persistent imbalanced regulation AR and splice variants (AR/AR-Vs). In this study, we reported KDM4A-AS1, recently discovered lncRNA, as tumor promoter that was significantly increased in cell lines tissues. Depletion KDM4A-AS1 reduced viability, proliferation, migration vitro, growth vivo. We found by binding...
Abstract Background Klotho is a type I transmembrane protein known for its anti‐aging, anti‐inflammatory, antioxidative, and cognitive‐enhancing properties. It also exhibits protective effects against systemic lupus erythematosus, sclerosis, other diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between serum levels risk rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods Participants from National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted 2007 2016 were included. Data on RA...
Enzalutamide, a second-generation androgen receptor (AR) antagonist, has represented the association with improved overall survival in men prostate cancer (PCa). However, PCa patients receiving enzalutamide will eventually develop resistance through various mechanisms without effective regimens. Here, we observed higher level of formin-like 2 (FMNL2) enzalutamide-resistant cells. Functionally, FMNL2 knockdown partially re-sensitized Mechanistically, directly interacted SRC kinase FMNL2-FH1...
Purine metabolism is a promising therapeutic target in cancer; however how cancer cells respond to purine shortage,particularly their adaptation and vulnerabilities, remains unclear. Using the recently developed shortage-inducing prodrug DRP-104 genetic approaches, we investigated these responses prostate, lung glioma models. We demonstrate that when de novo biosynthesis compromised, employ microtubules assemble purinosomes, multi-protein complexes of enzymes enhance efficiency. While this...
Objective: To explore the theraputic effects and potential mechanisms of hydrogen-rich water (HRW) against oxalate-induced kidney injury. Methods: The mouse model Calcium oxalate (CaOx) crystallization was established by feeding a soluble diet. Crystal deposition, tubular injury, fibrosis reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in kidneys were examined histology. Serum indexes renal inflammation oxidative stress detected commercial kits. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) performed to screen pathways...
As deregulation of androgen receptor (AR) signaling target genes is associated with tumorigenesis and the development prostate cancer (PCa), AR primary therapeutic for PCa. Although patients initially responses to first-line deprivation therapies (ADTs), most them advanced PCa progress lethal castration-resistant (CRPC). Recent studies have suggested molecular mechanisms by which elicit robust up-regulation FKBP51 gene. We suggest that restored expression gene, modulated splicing variant 7...
Abstract Enabled resistance or innate insensitiveness to antiandrogen are lethal for castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Unfortunately, there seems be little can done overcome the because of largely unknown mechanisms. In prospective cohort study, we found that HOXB3 protein level was an independent risk factor PSA progression and death in patients with metastatic CRPC. vivo, upregulated contributed CRPC xenografts abiraterone resistance. To uncover mechanism driving tumor...
BACKGROUND Kid (kinesin-like DNA binding protein), a member of microtubule-dependent molecular motor proteins, also known as KIF22, is reported to be associated with carcinogenesis and cancer progression in different types malignant tumor, but the biologic behavior clinical outcome KIF22 prostate (PCa) has not been well studied. This study aimed analyze association between PCa patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS The expression tumor specimens compared paired paracancerous tissue from 114 patients...
The optimized concurrent chemoradiotherapy has not been established for patients with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). aim of the present study was to evaluate safety and efficacy chemotherapy selective lymph node (SLN) late course accelerated hyperfractionated (LCAF) intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) thoracic SCC. Twelve T3-4N0-1M0-1a SCC were included. total dose SLN LCAF IMRT 59.6 Gy/34 fractions in 5.4 weeks. protocol as following: cisplatin 10 mg/m2 on days 1–5...
Rationale: Thyroid carcinoma-like tumor of the kidney (TLFCK) is an extremely rare variant renal cell carcinoma. Most cases were incidentally found, while we report first case TLFCK presented with hypertension. Patient concerns: A 25-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital presenting hypertension for ∼20 months, without gross hematuria, weight loss, and flank pain. Diagnoses: Imaging studies revealed a right mass multiple calcifications. Histologically, had striking follicles dense,...

Abstract Background Kidney stones are common, frequently occurring worldwide. Some studies have analysed the relationship between dyslipidaemia and kidney stone occurrence but produced inconsistent results due to shortcomings such as small sample sizes, sampling bias, limited data acquisition. Therefore, correlation with sufficient sources, wide coverage, strong representation must be carried out. Methods Samples used in our study were obtained from National Health Nutrition Examination...
