Abstract Although microRNAs (miRNA) have been broadly studied in cancer, comparatively less is understood about their role progression. Here we report that miR-153 has a dual during progression of colorectal cancer by enhancing cellular invasiveness and platinum-based chemotherapy resistance. miRNA profiling revealed was highly expressed model advanced stage cancer. Its upregulation also noted primary human compared with normal colonic epithelium more stages early disease. In patients...

Multidrug resistance (MDR) mediated by ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 1 (ABCB1/P-gp) is a major cause of cancer chemotherapy failure, but the regulation mechanisms are largely unknown.Based on single gene knockout, we studied CDK6-PI3K axis ABCB1-mediated MDR in human cells. CRISPR/Cas9 technique was performed KB-C2 cells to knockout cdk6 or cdk4 gene. Western blot, RT-PCR and transcriptome analysis were investigate target deletion expression critical signaling factors. The effect...

Polyamines are a class of small polycationic alkylamines that play essential roles in both normal and cancer cell growth. Polyamine metabolism is frequently dysregulated considered therapeutic target cancer. However, targeting polyamine as monotherapy often exhibits limited efficacy, the underlying mechanisms incompletely understood. Here we report activation catabolism promotes glutamine metabolism, leading to targetable vulnerability lung Genetic pharmacological spermidine/spermine...

Taste and smell disorders (TSDs) can induce diminished interest in food, inadequate nutrient intake, emotional irregularities, particularly among cancer patients. Previous research found that the main culprits of TSD development patients are cytotoxic drugs such as taxol, fluorouracil, cyclophosphamide, anthracycline-based drugs. The advent targeted vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (VEGFR-TKIs) has significantly extended survival time patients, thus...

Abstract Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a devastating disease, necessitating approaches to improve prognosis. As the mediator of allergic process, mast cells have been found in various cancers and are associated with survival. However, biological behaviors tumor‐associated (TAMCs) remain unclear. Herein, an excessive infiltration TAMCs PDAC demonstrated, which apparently poor survival patients. recruit CXCR2 + MCs into TME, then inhibited ferroptosis, maintained their...

The overexpression of ABC transporters induced by anticancer drugs has been found to be the main cause multidrug resistance. It is actually also a strategy which cancer cells escape being killed. Tetrandrine natural product extracted from stem Tinospora crispa. In this study, tetrandrine showed synergistic cytotoxic activity in combinational use with chemotherapeutic drugs, such as Doxorubicin, Vincristine, and Paclitaxel, both drug-induced MDR1 gene-transfected that over-expressed...

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common acquired bacterial in humans. The current gold standard method for identification of uropathogens clinical laboratories is cultivation. However, culture-based assays have substantial drawbacks, including long turnaround time and limited culturability many potential pathogens. Nanopore sequencing technology can overcome these limitations detect pathogens while also providing reliable predictions drug susceptibility samples. Here, we...
