    Development of a cell adhesion-based prognostic model for multiple myeloma: Insights into chemotherapy response and potential reversal of adhesion effects

    QIAN HU, MENGYAO WANG, JINJIN WANG, YALI TAO, TING NIU*

    Oncology Research, Vol.32, No.4, pp. 753-768, 2024, DOI:10.32604/or.2023.043647

    Abstract Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematologic malignancy notorious for its high relapse rate and development of drug resistance, in which cell adhesion-mediated drug resistance plays a critical role. This study integrated four RNA sequencing datasets (CoMMpass, GSE136337, GSE9782, and GSE2658) and focused on analyzing 1706 adhesion-related genes. Rigorous univariate Cox regression analysis identified 18 key prognosis-related genes, including KIF14, TROAP, FLNA, MSN, LGALS1, PECAM1, and ALCAM, which demonstrated the strongest associations with poor overall survival (OS) in MM patients. To comprehensively evaluate the impact of cell adhesion on MM prognosis, an adhesion-related risk score (ARRS) model was constructed using Lasso… More >

    YANAN MA1, SHANSHAN WANG2,*, HUIGUO DING1,*

    BIOCELL, Vol.48, No.3, pp. 463-471, 2024, DOI:10.32604/biocell.2024.048244

    Abstract Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common malignant tumor with poor prognosis and high mortality worldwide. Although cystathionine-gamma-lyase (CSE) plays an important role in the development of multiple tumors, the clinical implication and potential mechanisms of CSE in HCC development remain elusive. Methods: In our study, the CSE expression in HCC was analyzed in Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) datasets and further confirmed by RT-qPCR and immunohistochemistry assays in HCC samples. Furthermore, the associations between CSE expression and HCC malignancy as well as survival were analyzed in GSE14520 and validated in HCC patients. Finally, the… More >

    BIOCELL, Vol.47, No.12, pp. 2735-2745, 2023, DOI:10.32604/biocell.2023.043422

    Abstract Objectives: Angiogenesis plays a significant role in the occurrence and development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The aim of this study is to explore potential angiogenesis related genes (ARGs) in IBD through bioinformatics analysis and in vivo experiments. Methods: GSE57945, GSE87466, and GSE36807 were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. GSE57945 was used as the training set, while GSE87466 and GSE36807 were used as the validation set. The key ARGs associated with IBD were identified using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and random forest methods. These identified ARGs were then utilized to construct a diagnostic model… More >

    FGD5 as a novel prognostic biomarker and its association with immune infiltrates in lung adenocarcinoma

    ZHONGXIANG TANG1,2, LILI WANG1,2, GUOJUN WU1,2, LING QIN1,2,*, YURONG TAN1,2,*

    BIOCELL, Vol.47, No.11, pp. 2503-2516, 2023, DOI:10.32604/biocell.2023.031565

    Abstract Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has a poor prognosis with a low 5-year survival rate. Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) accounts for 50%. Facio-genital dysplasia-5 (FGD5), a member of a subfamily of Rho GTP-GDP exchange factors, may be a good molecular biomarker for diagnosis and prognosis. Objective: To explore the clinical application of FGD5, the study was designed to investigate the prognosis value of FGD5 expression and its correlation with immune infiltrates in LUAD patients. Methods: Through the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and logistic regression, the correlation between clinical characteristics and FGD5 expression was analyzed. Kaplan–Meier plotter analysis, Cox regression, and a… More > Graphic Abstract

    Identification of tumor-suppressor genes in lung squamous cell carcinoma through integrated bioinformatics analyses

    HENG LI1,#, YOUMING LEI3,#, GAOFENG LI1, YUNCHAO HUANG2,*

    Oncology Research, Vol.32, No.1, pp. 187-197, 2024, DOI:10.32604/or.2023.030656

    Abstract Lung cancer is a prevalent malignancy, and fatalities of the disease exceed 400,000 cases worldwide. Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) has been recognized as the most common pathological form of lung cancer. The comprehensive understanding of molecular features related to LUSC progression has great significance in LUSC prognosis assessment and clinical management. In this study, we aim to identify a panel of signature genes closely associated with LUSC, which can provide novel insights into the progression of LUSC. Gene expression profiles were retrieved from public resources including gene expression omnibus (GEO) and the cancer genome atlas (TCGA) database. Differentially expressed… More >

    Abstract Objective: Endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment 3 (ERGIC3) promotes cell proliferation and metastasis in lung cancer, but its molecular mechanism is unclear. Methods: The GLC-82 cells were randomly divided into the ERGIC3i group and the negative control group. The cells were transfected with ERGIC3 siRNA or control siRNA in the groups, respectively. The ERGIC3-interacting proteins expressed in cells or extracellularly were isolated by the immunoprecipitation method and detected by isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The differentially expressed proteins were determined by bioinformatic methods. Results: After ERGIC3 knockdown, 88 extracellular differentially expressed proteins, 41 up-regulated… More >

    Oncology Research, Vol.31, No.5, pp. 715-752, 2023, DOI:10.32604/or.2023.029443

    Abstract We analyzed RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) and clinical data from head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Genomic Data Commons (GDC) portal to investigate the prognostic value of anoikis-related genes (ARGs) in HNSCC and develop new targeted drugs. Differentially expressed ARGs were screened using bioinformatics methods; subsequently, a prognostic model including three ARGs (CDKN2A, BIRC5, and PLAU) was constructed. Our results showed that the model-based risk score was a good prognostic indicator, and the potential of the three ARGs in HNSCC prognosis was validated by the TISCH database, the model’s accuracy was validated in two… More >

    Immunogenic cell death-related long noncoding RNA influences immunotherapy against lung adenocarcinoma

    DONGJIE SUN1,2, CHI ZHANG3,*

    Oncology Research, Vol.31, No.5, pp. 753-767, 2023, DOI:10.32604/or.2023.029287

    Abstract Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths, accounting for over a million deaths worldwide annually. Immunogenic cell death (ICD) elicits an adaptive immune response. However, the role of ICD-related long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in LUAD is unknown. In this study, we investigated the characteristics of the tumor microenvironment in LUAD, the prognostic significance of ICD-related lncRNAs, and the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of possible chemotherapeutic drugs. We sorted prognostic lncRNAs using univariate Cox regression and constructed a risk signature based on them. We then confirmed the model’s accuracy and generated a nomogram. Additionally, we performed immune microenvironment… More > Graphic Abstract

    Minghui Niu1,#, Heng Zhang1,#, Xiangyang Li1, Zhibao Hu1, Hongjiao Zhang2,3, Zhiru Xu2,3, Chunpu Qu1,4,*, Guanjun Liu1,*

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.92, No.7, pp. 2001-2015, 2023, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2023.029350

    Abstract KANADI (KAN) is a plant-specific gene that controlled the polarity development of lateral organs. It mainly acted on the abaxial characteristics of plants to make the lateral organs asymmetrical. However, it had been less identified in woody plants. In this study, the members of the KAN gene family in Populus trichocarpa were identified and analyzed using the bioinformatics method. The results showed that a total of 8 KAN family members were screened out, and each member contained the unique GARP domain and conserved region of the family proteins. Phylogenetic analysis and their gene structures revealed that all KAN genes from… More >
