Abstract Background Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have recently been identified as potential functional modulators of the cellular physiology processes. The study aims to uncover clinical value and driving molecular mechanisms circRNAs in gallbladder cancer (GBC). Patients methods We performed RNA sequencing from four GBC paired adjacent normal tissues analyze circRNA candidates. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (QRT-PCR) was used measure circFOXP1 expression 40 patient tissue...

Gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) is the most common biliary tract malignancy with lowest survival rate, primarily arising from chronic inflammation. To better characterize progression inflammation to cancer metastasis, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing across samples of 6 cholecystitis, 12 treatment-naive GBCs, and matched metastases. Benign epithelial cells inflamed gallbladders displayed resting, immune-regulating, gastrointestinal metaplastic phenotypes. A small amount PLA2G2A+ copy...

Transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) plays important roles in tumor metastasis by regulating miRNAs expression. miR-182 is an molecule the regulation of cancer progression. The aim study to assess role TGF-β-induced metastasis. In present study, we found that levels are significantly upregulated GBC tissues compared with normal controls, and expression remarkably increased primary tumors subsequently metastasized, when those did not metastasize. TGF-β induces cells, overexpression promotes...
