The most important factor implicated in the angiogenic processes is vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) protein and its family of ligands and receptors (VEGFRs). Survival, proliferation, migration and invasion of endothelial cells which give rise to the vascular network, is mediated through VEGF/VEGFR activation of the signal transduction pathways. Thus blocking VEGF is an efficient strategy for blocking

The cell viability was increased, while cell apoptosis was inhibited in SK-BR-3-TS cells compared with SK-BR-3-TS. The depletion of YAP by si-YAP reversed the YAP/TAZ expression, cell viability and cell apoptosis in SK-BR-3-TR cells. YAP/TAZ pathway might induce the trastuzumab resis...

...arcinoma patients’ tumor tissues were compared to 8 normal liver tissues to screen out the significant abnormal expressed genes. The potential interactions and mechanisms of these genes in promoting hepatocellular carcinoma were analyzed through bioinformatics analysis. The results showed that the functions of these 1495 differently expressed genes enriched in cell cycle, oxidation-reduction and drug metabolic process. Additionally, the top 10 core genes...

Therefore, a meta-analysis was performed to analyze their aberrant expression in breast tumorigenesis. A thorough literature search was performed and 73 relevant studies were identified which were further scrutinized and finally 26 studies covering 4553 subjects were included for analysis. A random effect m...

RNA-seq and clinical information were obtained from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, which aims to screen for immune-associated lncRNAs based on constructing a risk scoring formula. Besides, in virtue of univariate and multivariate Cox regression, immune-assoc...

The results revealed the development of signs of incitement such as increased TC and reduced IL-10, decreased HDL-C, and increased TC, TAG, VLDL-C, and LDL-C, along with an increase in inflammatory markers. CPNPs reduced dyslipidemia and inflammation in female rats. We implied the protective impact of CPNPs, which may be seen in the anti-inflammatory and hyp...

Then, the DNA of GNTs tissues was extracted, and the PSEN1 E280A mutation was detected by sequencing. Finally, the correlation of PSEN1 E280A mutation with clinical characteristics was analyzed. PSEN1 E280A mutation was detected in 16 GNTs patients (44% in GGs (11/25) and 33.3% in...

In this study, clinical and gene data were collected to identify glycolytic genes that significantly associated with overall survival (OS) rate of CC patients through gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and Cox regression models. The K-M method was used to determine the difference of OS rate with high and low risk scores. The accuracy of risk scores were determined based on receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.

These tumors were classified into G1, G2 and G3 grades with an incidence of 12.5%, 42.5% and 45%, and grouped into the anatomic stages IIIA, IIIB and IIIC with 50%, 32.5% and 17.5% respectively. Further, molecular subtyping was done on the bases of cellular expression of hormone receptors by IHC and found 80% Luminal A, 12.5% Luminal B, 5% HER2 enriched and 2.5% Basal-like. Screening of mutations in PIK3CA, AKT1, MTOR and PTEN genes was carr...

The anti-tumor effects of CAPE and chitosan CNPs on cancer cells have been separately studied but the precise epigenetic molecular mechanisms for the combined therapy are still unclear. This study aimed to investigate the epigenetic mechanism of CAPE and/or CNPs on human HepG2 cells. The results revealed a significantly higher cytotoxic effect for CAPE on HepG2 cells than CNPs. The combined therapy with CAPE and CNPs exhibited significantly hig...
