Immune Infiltration and N(6)-Methyladenosine ncRNA Isoform Detection in Acute Lung Injury
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a severe form of sepsis that is associated with a high rate of morbidity and death in critically ill individuals. The emergence of ALI is the result of several factors at work. Case mortality rates might range from 40% to 70%. Researchers have discovered that…
Spatiotemporal modulation of SMAD4 by HBx is required for cellular proliferation in hepatitis B-related liver cancer
Purpose: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) plays a crucial role in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It is known that HBV-encoded X protein (HBx) can induce genetic alterations in some oncogenes and that SMAD4 is relevant for the development of some cancers, especially HBV-related HCC. Previously, it has been reported…
Roles of circRNAs | CMAR
Introduction Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of primary liver cancer, with an increasing global incidence, and a leading cause of cancer-related mortality.1 Although hepatitis B and C virus infections, cirrhosis, alcohol intake, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are the main risk factors contributing to HCC.1,2 Approximately…

circRNA rtcisE2F regulates the self-renewal o
image: rt-circRNA rtcisE2F is originated from two adjacent genes CYP2C18 and CYP2C19, involves in the binding between m6A E2F6/E2F3 mRNAs and m6A readers IGF2BP2/YTHDF2, and finally promotes the stability of E2F6/E2F3 mRNAs. E2F6 and E2F3 drive the activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling and the self-renewal of liver TICs. view more Credit: ©Science…
Genetic variants of XRCC1 and risk of hepatocellular carcinoma in chronic hepatitis C patients: British Journal of Biomedical Science: Vol 76, No 2
ABSTRACT Background: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) related liver cirrhosis occurs in about 20% of chronically infected patients over a duration of 10–20 years, and within 5 years approximately 10–20% of these cirrhotic patients will develop hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Previous studies report that the X-ray repair cross-complementing group1 gene (XRCC1) is…
Image2_Construction and Comprehensive Analysis of a circRNA-miRNA-mRNA Regulatory Network to Reveal the Pathogenesis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma.TIF
Background: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been demonstrated to be closely related to the carcinogenesis of human cancer in recent years. However, the molecular mechanism of circRNAs in the pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has not been fully elucidated. We aimed to identify critical circRNAs and explore their potential regulatory network…
Adrenal aldosterone-producing adenoma | IJGM
Background Primary hyperaldosteronism (PA) is characterized by spontaneous secretion of excessive aldosterone and inhibition of plasma renin activity.1 The pathogenesis of adrenal aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) involves the abnormal proliferation of adrenal cortex cells and the excessive secretion of aldosterone, accounting for nearly 30% of PA. Excessive secretion of aldosterone can…

Prognosis Biomarkers via WGCNA in HCC
Introduction According to the cancer statistics reported in 2020, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the main type of Primary Carcinoma of the Liver and the second leading causes of cancer-related death globally, with a five-year survival rate < 20%.1 Currently, surgical resection, a standard therapy for HCC, contributes to the prognosis…
Oncogene Concatenated Enriched Amplicon Nanopore Sequencing for rapid, accurate, and affordable somatic mutation detection | Genome Biology
Stochastic Amplicon Ligation. DNA samples for oncology sequencing are typically extracted from FFPE tissues and can have average lengths of less than 500 nt due to accumulated chemical damage [18]. We developed the Stochastic Amplicon Ligation (SAL) method to enzymatically concatenate many short DNA molecules together to utilize the long-read…
Science Papers Uncover Protein Involved in Tumor Metastasis, Cancer Detection Via DNA Methylation Sequencing
Using a temporal multi-omics approach, a team led by scientists from Heidelberg University has identified a protein involved in tumor metastasis that could serve as a new therapeutic cancer target. Metastasis is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality and the mechanistically least well-understood step of the tumor progression cascade. However,…
