Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is one of the most aggressive and poor prognosis cancers. Currently, chemotherapy with conventional cytotoxic agents only available option to treat TNBC. Hence, we identified new therapeutic against TNBC from traditional Chinese medicine Radix Bupleuri unveiled molecule mechanism anti-TNBC effects.Multi-component bioactivity structure-guided methods were used identify effective compound Saikosaponin D (SSD) Bupleuri. Cell viability apoptosis assays...

Abstract Numerous evidence has recently demonstrated that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play vital roles in the oncogenesis and development of a wide range human neoplasms. Leukemia inhibitory factor receptor antisense RNA 1 (LIFR-AS1), novel cancer-related lncRNA, been reported to be under-expressed breast cancer associated with poor prognosis. However, exact role LIFR-AS1 remains largely unclear. The present study aimed investigate biological clarify potential molecular mechanisms. In...

The present study involves diversity and biological activities of the endophytic fungal community from Distylium chinense, a rare waterlogging tolerant plant endemic to Three Gorges Reservoir. This has been conducted hypothesizing that microbial communities in TGR area would contribute host tolerating range abiotic stress such as summer flooding, infertility, drought, salinity soil erosion etc., they may produce new metabolites, which possess plentiful bioactive property, especially...

The development of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is closely related to mechanical forces. However, noninvasively evaluating forces for ICH patients in the current clinical setting challenging. In this study, we aimed build an easily accessible stiffness index (STI) and evaluate perihematomal edema (PHE) region patients. retrospective two cohorts 57 were included. One cohort (the exploratory cohort) comprised with both standard b-value diffusion-weighted imaging (sDWI) (b-values 0 1,000...

Automating the task of music genre classification offers opportunities to enhance user experiences, streamline management processes, and unlock insights into rich diverse world music. In this paper, an improved ViT model is proposed extract more comprehensive features from Mel spectrograms by leveraging strengths both convolutional neural networks Transformers. Also, paper incorporates a channel attention mechanism amplifying differences between channels within individual genres, thereby...

M1-like tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) have been put forth as a critical component in the advancement of cancer biology, including oncogenesis, development, invasion, metastasis, and formation tumor microenvironment (TME). Nevertheless, there has paucity research examining functions associated molecular mechanisms TAMs ovarian (OC). The objective this study is twofold: first, to gain deeper understanding positive role OC; second, identify reliable biomarkers stratify risk disease...

Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors and DNA alkylators are effective components of combination chemotherapy. The aim the present study was to investigate possible mechanism their synergism by detecting effect HDAC on expression levels drug transporters that export alkylators. It demonstrated inhibitor sodium butyrate (NaB) induced differential multidrug resistant ATP-binding cassette (ABC) in lung cancer colorectal cells. Specifically, NaB increased mRNA ABC subfamily B member 1 (ABCB1),...

The aim of this study was to research the effect miR-202 on breast cancer cells proliferation, invasion, and migration.TCGA analysis used expression overall survival in patients with cancer. Transfection mimics or cotransfection ROCK1 vector performed cells. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction detect tissues Western blot conducted ROCK1, E-cadherin, Twist, N-cadherin, MMP2. Dual luciferase reporter assay targeted relationship between miR-202. MTT transwell were...

Abstract Background Good knowledge of and attitudes toward hemodialysis its complications might be expected to promote good practices improve adherence. This study investigated, the knowledge, attitude, practice patients receiving regarding complications. Methods cross-sectional enrolled with uremia who were at Second Affiliated Hospital Nanjing Medical University (China) between January 9, 2023, 16, 2023. A questionnaire was designed that included following dimensions: demographic/clinical...

In spite of extensive successes, cancer recurrence after radiation treatment (RT) remains one the significant challenges in cure localized prostate (PCa). This study focuses on elucidating a novel adaptive response to RT that could contribute recurrence. Here, we used PC3 cell line, an adenocarcinoma from bone metastasis and radio-resistant clone 695 which survived total dose 66 Gy (2 × 33) subsequently regrew nude mice exposure fractionated at 10 5). Clone cells not only showed increase...

Red blood cell distribution width (RDW), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet count (PLT) have been reported to be associated with the prognosis of malignancies; this study aimed evaluate prognostic significance inflammatory scoring index (IPSI), comprised RDW, N LR, PLT for overall survival (OS) in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients bortezomib-based chemotherapy era.The variables OS 175 was evaluated through univariate multivariate analyses. The cut-off values NLR, were...

ANGPTL3, 4 and 8 have been reported to be involved in the regulation of lipid glucose metabolism. The aim this study was investigate expression 4, hypertensive patients with or without overweight/obesity, T2D, hyperlipidemia, possible association between their status aforementioned comorbidities.Plasma levels 87 hospitalized hypertension were measured using ELISA kits. Associations circulating ANGPTLs most common additional cardiovascular risk factors assessed multivariate linear regression...

Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is a very potent insulinotropic hormone secreted into the blood stream after eating. Thus, it has potential to be used in therapeutic treatment of diabetes. The half-life GLP-1, however, short due its rapid cleavage by dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV). This presents great challenge if as drug. like many other small peptides, commonly produced through chemical synthesis, but limited cost and product quantity. In order overcome these problems, sequence encoding...

Hypomethylating agents (HMAs), such as decitabine (DAC), are currently used first-line therapy for patients with high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) not eligible standard chemotherapies. Exacerbation of thrombocytopenia is one the prevalent complications after HMA treatment. Eltrombopag (EP), an oral thrombopoietin receptor agonist, can efficiently stimulate megakaryopoiesis elevate platelet counts in MDS/AML patients. However, significance...
