Abstract Spindle and kinetochore-related complex subunit 3 (SKA3) is a component of the spindle complexes essential for accurate timing late mitosis. However, relationship between SKA3 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has not yet been fully elucidated. Gene expression omnibus (GEO) (GSE62232, GSE45436, GSE6764, GSE36376) The Cancer Atlas (TCGA) datasets were analyzed to identify differential genes. Cell proliferation ability was using Counting Kit-8 (CCK8) assay plate clone formation assay,...

Patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) continue to have a dismal prognosis. Potential biomarkers determine prognosis and select targeted therapies are urgently needed for patients HCC. This study aimed elucidate the role of UCK2 in HCC tumor progression. We performed screen public databases identify functional genes associated tumorigenesis, progression, outcome. identified uridine-cytidine kinase 2 (UCK2) as gene interest further study. promoting aggressiveness was...

Fatty liver disease is one of the leading causes chronic damage in western countries. Approximately 25% adults United States have fatty livers absence excessive alcohol consumption, a condition termed nonalcoholic (NAFLD). Little known about prevalence and genetic background NAFLD or factors that determine its development. In this study, we used Gene-Cloud Biotechnology Information bioinformatics platform to carry out comprehensive analysis identifying differentially expressed genes (DEGs),...

The myeloid-derived suppressor cell (MDSC)-mediated immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), where hypoxia counts for much, has greatly compromised the outcome of cancer immunotherapy. Here, we demonstrated a strategy selectively clearing intratumoral MDSCs. Specifically, 2-[2-[2-chloro-3-[(1,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-1-propyl-2H-indol-2-ylidene)ethylidene]-1-cyclohexen-1-yl]ethenyl]-3,3-dimethyl-1-propylindolium iodide (IR-780) and metformin (Met) were coloaded into mesoporous silica...

Background: Obg-like ATPase 1 (OLA1) has been found to have a dual role in cancers.However, the relationship between OLA1 and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear.Results: High expression of HCC was detected public datasets clinical samples, correlated with poor prognosis.Downregulation significantly inhibited proliferation, migration, invasion tumorigenicity cells.Mechanistically, GSEA showed that might promote tumor progression by regulating cell cycle apoptosis.In addition,...

<div>Abstract<p>Fumarate hydratase (FH) deficiency causes hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell carcinoma (RCC). FH-deficient tumors lack effective therapeutic options. Here, we utilized an epigenetic-focused single-guide RNA library to elucidate potential drug targets in tumors. The screen identified chromodomain helicase DNA-binding protein 6 (CHD6) as essential regulator of the growth FH-mutated RCC. Mechanically, FH loss induced fumarate-mediated succinylation inactivation...
