Summary

Biomarkers are biochemical indicators that can mark changes or possible changes in the structure or function of systems, organs, tissues, cells, and sub-cells and have a very wide range of uses. Biomarkers can be used to diagnose disease, determine disease stage, or evaluate the safety and efficacy of new drugs or therapies in target populations. The aim of this research project is to collect recent advances in basic and clinical research, dissect the molecular pathology of disease, investigate etiology and pathogenesis, and identify humoral, genetic, and imaging biomarkers for clinical settings for disease detection, diagnosis, prognosis, and prediction.

    Abstract Objective: This study aims to analyze the clinical significance and mechanism of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) in primary hepatic carcinoma (PHC). Methods: The expression of NRF2 and GPX4 in peripheral blood of patients with PHC was determined to analyze the diagnostic value of the two combined for PHC. The prognostic significance of NRF2 and GPX4 was evaluated by 3-year follow-up. Human liver epithelial cells THLE-2 and human hepatocellular carcinoma cells HepG2 were purchased, and the expression of NRF2 and GPX4 in the cells was determined. NRF2 and GPX4 aberrant expression vectors were… More >

    Abstract Background: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is one of the most prevalent cancers in Southeast Asia. Sirtuin 2 (SIRT2) is a member of the NAD+-dependent deacetylase family and has been shown to play important roles in numerous biological processes. However, Its function in NPC remains uncertain. The primary aim of this study is to clarify the role of SIRT2 in NPC. Methods: In this research, we examined the effect of SIRT2 silencing on NPC cell proliferation and colony formation using vitro NPC cell lines. Co-immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry was applied to identify SIRT2-interacting proteins in NPC cells. Results: In comparison to nasopharyngeal… More >

    Abstract Exosomes are extracellular vesicles with a 30–150 nm diameter originating from endosomes. In recent years, scientists have regarded exosomes as an ideal small molecule carrier for the targeted treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) across the blood-brain barrier due to their nanoscale size and low immunogenicity. A large amount of evidence shows that exosomes are rich in biomarkers, and it has been found that the changes in biomarker content in blood, cerebrospinal fluid, and urine are often associated with the onset of AD patients. In this paper, some recent advances in the use of exosomes in the treatment of AD are… More >
