Prognostic Role of MicroRNA-497 In Cancer Patients: A Meta-analysis.

Background: MicroRNA-497(miR-497) has been studied for its irreplaceable role of predicting the prognosis of various cancers, but there has been no systematic study to summarize the data. Consequently, we performed this meta-analysis to reveal the association between the expression level of miR-497 and cancer prognosis systematically. Materials and Methods: PubMed was searched for appropriate studies and a total of 12 eligible publications with 989 cancer patients were recruited into our analysis to assess the strength of the association. Hazard ratios (HRs) and odds ratios (ORs) were analyzed

The roles of lncRNAs and miRNAs in pancreatic cancer: a focus on cancer development and progression and their roles as potential biomarkers.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is among the most penetrative malignancies affecting humans, with mounting incidence prevalence worldwide. This cancer is usually not diagnosed in the early stages. There is also no effective therapy against PDAC, and most patients have chemo-resistance. The combination of these factors causes PDAC to have a poor prognosis, and often patients do not live longer than six months. Because of the failure of conventional therapies, the identification of key biomarkers is crucial in the early diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of pancreatic cancer. 65% of the

Decoding Cancer Risk: Understanding Gene-Environment Interactions in Cancer Development.

While lifestyle choices or behavioral patterns remain the most significant factors influencing cancer risk, environmental exposure to certain chemicals, both manufactured and natural, may also contribute to an individual's likelihood of developing cancer. This interplay of factors, coupled with an aging demographic and shifting lifestyle patterns, has led to an increasing prevalence of cancer in recent years. This study examines the environmental and behavioral factors that contribute to anomalies in the immune system and increase the risk of developing cancer. Significant environmental and oc

Are RNA Therapies a Solid Foundation or a Frontier Yet to Be Conquered?

The identification of microRNAs (miRNAs) has resulted in significant advancements in research, particularly regarding their utilization as diagnostic and therapeutic targets. This has generated enthusiasm for exploring the potential of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in treating cancer and other diseases, with miRNAs and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) showing particular promise. Over the past twelve years, there has been significant research into RNA-based treatments. Antisense oligonucleotides and small interfering RNAs are the most commonly used. Certain products have received Federal and Drug Admi

Revolutionizing in vivo therapy with CRISPR/Cas genome editing: breakthroughs, opportunities and challenges.

Genome editing using the CRISPR/Cas system has revolutionized the field of genetic engineering, offering unprecedented opportunities for therapeutic applications in vivo. Despite the numerous ongoing clinical trials focusing on ex vivo genome editing, recent studies emphasize the therapeutic promise of in vivo gene editing using CRISPR/Cas technology. However, it is worth noting that the complete attainment of the inherent capabilities of in vivo therapy in humans is yet to be accomplished. Before the full realization of in vivo therapeutic potential, it is crucial to achieve enhanced specific

Molecular Guided Therapy Provides Sustained Clinical Response in Refractory Choroid Plexus Carcinoma.

Choroid plexus carcinomas (CPCs) are rare, aggressive pediatric brain tumors with no established curative therapy for relapsed disease, and poor survival rates. TP53 Mutation or dysfunction correlates with poor or no survival outcome in CPCs. Here, we report the case of a 4 month-old female who presented with disseminated CPC. After initial response to tumor resection and adjuvant-chemotherapy, the tumor recurred and metastasized with no response to aggressive relapse therapy suggesting genetic predisposition. This patient was then enrolled to a Molecular Guided Therapy Clinical Trial. Genomic

Нанозимы: инновационная терапия в борьбе с нейродегенеративными заболеваниями.

Нейродегенеративные заболевания, включая болезнь Альцгеймера (AD), болезнь Паркинсона (PD), множественный склероз (MS), амиотропический боковой склероз (ALS) и болезнь Хантингтона (HD), представляют собой серьезную проблему для здоровья населения мира из-за их прогрессивного характера и отсутствия лечения. Эти расстройства характеризуются окислительным стрессом, завязыванием белка и нейроинфламмацией, которые в совокупности приводят к нервным повреждениям и смерти. Последние достижения в нанотехнологии позволили внедрить нанозменные наноматериалы, которые имитируют деятельность, похожую на фер

Therapeutic targeting in pediatric acute myeloid leukemia with aberrant HOX/MEIS1 expression.

Despite advances in the clinical management of childhood acute myeloid leukemia (AML) during the last decades, outcome remains fatal in approximately one third of patients. Primary chemoresistance, relapse and acute and long-term toxicities to conventional myelosuppressive therapies still constitute significant challenges and emphasize the unmet need for effective targeted therapies. Years of scientific efforts have translated into extensive insights on the heterogeneous spectrum of genetics and oncogenic signaling pathways of AML and identified a subset of patients characterized by upregulati

Chimeric Antigen Receptor Design and Efficacy in Ovarian Cancer Treatment.

Our increased understanding of tumour biology gained over the last few years has led to the development of targeted molecular therapies, e.g., vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) antagonists, poly[ADP-ribose] polymerase 1 (PARP1) inhibitors in hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutants), increasing survival and improving the quality of life. However, the majority of ovarian cancer (OC) patients still do not have access to targeted molecular therapies that would be capable of controlling their disease, especially resistant or relapsed. Chimeric antigen rece

Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) activity in leukemia blasts correlates with poor outcome in childhood acute myeloid leukemia.

Microenvironmental factors contribute to the immune dysfunction characterizing acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) is an interferon (IFN)-γ-inducible enzyme that degrades tryptophan into kynurenine, which, in turn, inhibits effector T cells and promotes regulatory T-cell (Treg) differentiation. It is presently unknown whether childhood AML cells express IDO1 and whether IDO1 activity correlates with patient outcome. We investigated IDO1 expression and function in 37 children with newly diagnosed AML other than acute promyelocytic leukemia. Blast cells were cultur

Crosstalk of the Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling Pathway in the Induction of Apoptosis on Cancer Cells.

The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway plays a major role in cell survival and proliferation, as well as in angiogenesis, migration, invasion, metastasis, and stem cell renewal in various cancer types. However, the modulation (either up- or downregulation) of this pathway can inhibit cell proliferation and apoptosis both through β-catenin-dependent and independent mechanisms, and by crosstalk with other signaling pathways in a wide range of malignant tumors. Existing studies have reported conflicting results, indicating that the Wnt signaling can have both oncogenic and tumor-suppressing roles, d

The B-cell-autoantibody axis in lung cancer immunity.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality, and while immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) has transformed treatment, resistance remains a critical challenge. Beyond the T-cell-centric view, tumor-infiltrating B lymphocytes (TIL-Bs) and tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) have emerged as pivotal prognostic determinants; however, the mechanistic interplay within the B-cell-autoantibody axis remains underexplored. Unlike previous reviews that primarily catalogue B-cell abundance, this synthesis integrates emerging evidence from single-cell RNA sequencing

DNA Methylation Cancer Biomarkers: Translation to the Clinic.

Carcinogenesis is accompanied by widespread DNA methylation changes within the cell. These changes are characterized by a globally hypomethylated genome with focal hypermethylation of numerous 5'-cytosine-phosphate-guanine-3' (CpG) islands, often spanning gene promoters and first exons. Many of these epigenetic changes occur early in tumorigenesis and are highly pervasive across a tumor type. This allows DNA methylation cancer biomarkers to be suitable for early detection and also to have utility across a range of areas relevant to cancer detection and treatment. Such tests are also simple in

Emerging disease-modifying therapies for sickle cell disease.

Sickle cell disease afflicts millions of people worldwide and approximately 100,000 Americans. Complications are myriad and arise as a result of complex pathological pathways 'downstream' to a point mutation in DNA, and include red blood cell membrane damage, inflammation, chronic hemolytic anemia with episodic vaso-occlusion, ischemia and pain, and ultimately risk of cumulative organ damage with reduced lifespan of affected individuals. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's 2014 evidence-based guideline for sickle cell disease management states that additional research is needed bef

Сопротивление лекарствам в Множественной миеломе: опухоль-интринтические механизмы и микроокружающая среда костного мозга.

Множественная миелома (ММ) — злокачественное расстройство плазменных клеток, и, несмотря на значительные улучшения в прогнозе, полученные благодаря химиотерапии, иммунной терапии и автологической трансплантации стволовых клеток, у большинства пациентов в конечном счете возникает рецидив или рефракторное заболевание. Сопротивление лекарствам (DR) все чаще признается как динамическо развивающаяся экосистема, формируемая из опухоли-интенсивной пластичности и непрерывной реконструкцией микроокружающей среды костного мозга (BMME), а не как одно молекулярное повреждение.

Profiling of Small Nucleolar RNAs by Next Generation Sequencing: Potential New Players for Breast Cancer Prognosis.

One of the most abundant, yet least explored, classes of RNA is the small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs), which are well known for their involvement in post-transcriptional modifications of other RNAs. Although snoRNAs were only considered to perform housekeeping functions for a long time, recent studies have highlighted their importance as regulators of gene expression and as diagnostic/prognostic markers. However, the prognostic potential of these RNAs has not been interrogated for breast cancer (BC). The objective of the current study was to identify snoRNAs as prognostic markers for BC. Small RN

Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors as a Therapeutic Strategy to Eliminate Neoplastic "Stromal" Cells from Giant Cell Tumors of Bone.

The neoplastic "stromal" cells in giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) harbor a mutation in the H3F3A gene, which causes alterations in the epigenome. Current systemic targeted therapies, such as denosumab, do not affect the neoplastic cells, resulting in relapse upon treatment discontinuation. Therefore, this study examined whether targeting the epigenome could eliminate the neoplastic cells from GCTB. We established four novel cell lines of neoplastic "stromal" cells that expressed the H3F3A p.G34W mutation. These cell lines were used to perform an epigenetics compound screen (n = 128), which ide

Synergistic silencing of α-globin and induction of γ-globin by histone deacetylase inhibitor, vorinostat as a potential therapy for β-thalassaemia.

β-Thalassaemia is one of the most common monogenic diseases with no effective cure in the majority of patients. Unbalanced production of α-globin in the presence of defective synthesis of β-globin is the primary mechanism for anaemia in β-thalassaemia. Clinical genetic data accumulated over three decades have clearly demonstrated that direct suppression of α-globin and induction of γ-globin are effective in reducing the globin chain imbalance in erythroid cells hence improving the clinical outcome of patients with β-thalassaemia. Here, we show that the histone deacetylase inhibitor drug, vorin
