The pathogenesis of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is multifactorial and has garnered increasing attention due to its significant societal impact and long-term health consequences. Investigation into the underlying mechanisms of OSAHS remains critical to advancing public health. The genioglossus (GG), recognized as a key muscle in maintaining upper airway patency, exhibits structural and functional changes that correlate with OSAHS severity. As such, therapeutic strategies targeting genioglossus dysfunction have become a focal point in OSAHS management. Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs), characterized by their capacity for self-renewal and multipotent differentiation, demonstrate promising regenerative potential. These cells are readily obtainable, and can be efficiently isolated, cultured, expanded, and purified. Their low immunogenicity enhances their suitability for allogeneic transplantation. Given these properties, investigation into the potential protective effects of hUCMSCs on genioglossus injury in individuals with OSAHS holds considerable therapeutic promise.
BACKGROUND:Serpin peptidase inhibitor clade H member 1 (SERPINH1) is implicated in collagen processing and tumor progression, yet its role in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) remains unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the clinical significance and molecular mechanism of SERPINH1 in LSCC. METHODS:Multi-cohort bioinformatics analysis (TCGA, GEO) identified SERPINH1 as a prognostic marker. SERPINH1 expression was validated in LSCC tissues (IHC, immunofluorescence, Western blot). Functional assays (CCK-8, EdU, Transwell) and xenograft models assessed malignant behaviors. Transcriptomics and co-IP/LC-MS revealed downstream pathways and interactors. Wnt agonist (SKL2001) rescue experiments confirmed pathway dependency. RESULTS:SERPINH1 was overexpressed in LSCC tissues versus adjacent normal and predicted poor survival. SERPINH1 knockdown suppressed proliferation, migration/invasion, and tumor growth in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, SERPINH1 bound COL7A1 to stabilize the Wnt/β-catenin signaling complex, reducing β-catenin phosphorylation and enhancing nuclear translocation. Wnt activation via SKL2001 rescued SERPINH1-knockdown phenotypes. CONCLUSION:SERPINH1 drives LSCC progression via COL7A1-mediated Wnt/β-catenin signaling activation. Targeting this axis may offer novel therapeutic strategies for LSCC.

Many kinds of cancer cells are intrinsically sensitive to ferroptosis, and research interest regarding ferroptosis has been sparked by its significant role in many detrimental diseases. Ferroptosis is a novel type of iron-dependent cell death mediated by accumulation of reactive oxygen species and lipid peroxidation. Furthermore, a large number of small agents can induce ferroptosis in numerous kinds of cancer cells, including prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, lymphomas, and renal cancer. These insights may help discover novel approaches for cancer therapeutic strategies; however, there is considerable uncertainty regarding ferroptosis in head and neck cancer (HNC). So far, no review of the current studies on this topic has been published. Therefore, we here elaborate the mechanisms of ferroptosis and summarize the latest findings regarding its role in HNC according to current literature. The respective findings shed light on the role of ferroptosis in HNC treatment with a number of important implications for future practice in HNC management, as outlined in this review.
Background Ovarian cancer represents one of the most frequent gynecological cancers and is significant cause of death for women around the world. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are recognized as critical governors of gene expression during carcinogenesis, but their effects on the occurrence and development of ovarian cancer require further investigation. In this report, we characterized LINC00494 as a novel oncogenic lncRNA in ovarian cancer. Methods Bioinformatics analysis predicted potential interactions among LINC00494, NFκB1, and FBXO32 in ovarian cancer, which were tested by dual-luciferase reporter assay, RNA pull-down, RIP, and ChIP assay. Cancer cells were transfected with relevant treated plasmids, followed by scratch and Transwell assays. The treated cells were injected into nude mice to establish a xenograft model for testing effects of LINC00494 and its target gene in vivo. Results LINC00494 and NFκB1 were highly expressed whereas FBXO32 had low expression in ovarian cancer cells and tissues. LINC00494 was found to bind NFκB1 and increase its activity, while NFκB1 was enriched at the FBXO32 promoter region, where it acted to reduce FBXO32 transcription. Overexpression of LINC00494 elevated NFκB1 expression and enhanced cell migration, invasion and tumorigenesis, but additional overexpression of FBXO32 interfered with the tumorgenicity of ovarian cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. Conclusion Our work demonstrated that LINC00494 promoted ovarian cancer progression by modulating FBXO32 via binding with the transcription factor NFκB1. These results provided new insight into the mechanism of ovarian cancer pathogenesis and suggested new therapeutic targets.
Vanillin, the main constituents of vanillin beans, has been reported to exhibit anti-inflammatory effects. However, the effects of vanillin on the cadmium-induced lung injury are still unclear. Therefore, we assay whether vanillin has potential preventive activity on cadmium-induced lung injury in mice. Mice were given vanillin (5, 10, 20 mg/kg) and treated with cadmium for 7 days. The detection data of vanillin on lung tissue changes were analyzed after the cadmium treatment. The results displayed that vanillin obviously decreased the lung histological alterations and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity. Vanillin also suppressed the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 in BALF. Furthermore, vanillin prevented cadmium-induced NF-κB activation and upregulation the expression of tight junction protein ZO-1 and occludin. In addition, vanillin significantly increased the expression of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), and inhibition of AhR by its agonist could reverse the protective effects of vanillin on cadmium-induced lung injury. To sum up, vanillin could be a potential drug for the treatment of cadmium-induced lung injury.

Objectives MicroRNAs regulates varieties of molecular pathways and involve in breast carcinogenesis. Here both breast cancer cell lines and human breast cancer tissues were used to investigate the roles of miR-328-3p in breast cancer. Methods The impact of miR-328-3p on proliferation of MDA-MB-231 and T47D cells was determined by MTT assay. transwell migration and matrigel invasion assays were performed to evaluate effects of miR-328-3p on migration and invasion of breast cancer cells. Caspase 3/7 activities were measured to examine the impact of miR-328-3p on radiotherapy-induced apoptosis in breast cancer cells. The possible binding site of miR-328-3p was verified by dual-luciferase reporter assay. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was performed to detect miR-328-3p expression level in breast cancer tissues. Western blot and immunohistochemical studies were used to examine protein expression in breast cancer cells and breast cancer tissue, respectively. Results miR-328-3p involved growth, migration and invasion in breast cancer cells and was associated with radiotherapy sensitivity. MiR-328-3p enhanced radiation-induced apoptosis in breast cancer cells by regulating BAX and Bcl-2 expression. Meanwhile, aberrant expression of miR-328-3p was associated with altered expression of PTEN and p-AKT in breast cancer cells. Further study showed miR-328-3p bound to 3’-UTR of PTEN. In addition, breast cancer tissues showed higher level of miR-328-3p than normal breast tissue and higher level of miR-328-3p was seen in lower stage in breast cancer. Conclusions miR-328-3p displayed essential functions in breast carcinogenesis and might be used to predict radiotherapy response and prognosis in breast cancer.

Aberrant expression of LINC00520 has been identified in head and neck squamous carcinoma (HNSCC). However, its function in the radiosensitivity of HNSCC remain unclear. Herein, we aimed to define the role LINC00520 in the radiosensitivity of HNSCC and identify the underlying mechanism. Tumour tissues and adjacent normal tissue were collected from HNSCC patients. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in HNSCC tumour were obtained from the cancer genome atlas (TCGA) database. Interactions between LINC00520 and miR-195, homeobox A10 (HOXA10) and miR-195 were evaluated by dual-luciferase reporter gene assay, RNA Immunoprecipitation (RIP), and RNA pull-down assay. The effects of LINC00520/miR-195/HOXA10 on radiosensitivity of HNSCC were analysed in the evaluation of radiotherapy outcome. Cell proliferation, invasion, migration, and apoptosis of HNSCC cells were accessedviagain- and loss-of-function approaches. Tumour xenograft in nude mice was conducted in order to confirm the resultsin vivo. LINC00520 was upregulated while miR-195 was downregulated in HNSCC cells and tissues. Silencing LINC00520 or overexpressing miR-195 promoted radiosensitivity and inhibited cell proliferation, invasion, migration, and apoptosis in HNSCC. Moreover, thesein vitrofindings were reproducedin vivoin human HNSCC xenograft in nude mice. LINC00520/miR-195/HOXA10 is involved in the radiosensitivity mediation, providing potential therapeutic target for HNSCC treatment.

: NUT carcinoma (NC) is a rare, highly invasive and fatal tumor and often misdiagnosed. It typically arises from the mediastinum and midline organs and has complicated pathogenesis and poor outcome. Genetically, its pathogenesis is related to a chromosomal rearrangement involving the NUTM1 gene. In most cases, the main oncoprotein is BRD4-NUT with a translocation between NUTM1 and BRD4 genes, but in a few cases, the oncoprotein is BRD3-NUT, or NSD3-NUT. Studies have shown that the histone hyperacetylation and BRD4 hyperphosphorylation may lead to the activation of cancer circuits. Abnormal production of microRNA, inactivation of tumor suppressor genes and abnormal activation of several signaling pathways are proposed as potential mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of NC. Currently, there is no consensus on its standard treatment for NC. Extent of surgical resection with negative margins, initial radiotherapy and part of chemotherapy regimens may significantly associated with the improvement of progression-free survival (PFS) rate and overall survival (OS) rate. Some bromodomain and extraterminal inhibitors (BETis) have shown encouraging results in the clinical trials on NC, but delayed drug resistance is still an important issue that needs to be resolved. Histone deacetylase inhibitors are also found to possess the potential in the treatment of NC. Herein, we summarize recent advances in the pathogenesis and treatment of NC.

The first step in the development of biochips is to prepare biochip carriers. In this process, the surface of the carrier needs to be chemically treated to enable rapid and efficient immobilisation of the various probes. The quality of the carrier directly affects the performance of the microarray and is critical to the preparation of the chip. In this paper, the surface-smoothed slides were used to assemble nanofilms with large specific surface area and super-adsorption properties on the slides, and then functionalised surface modification, giving full play to the dual advantages of physical adsorption and chemical coupling. The glass cuboid is used as the chip substrate, and the cylindrical glass capillary is used as the microfluidic channel. By simply combining it with the flow pump, a three-dimensional microfluidic immunoassay device is constructed. By comparing the properties of protein immobilisation, immune response efficiency and signal-to-noise ratio in three-dimensional devices, it is compared with traditional two-dimensional microfluidic chips. The scores in the experimental group and the control group were significantly lower than those in the initial diagnosis, P < 0.001. The symptom scores of the experimental group and the control group were P > 0.04, indicating that there was no statistical difference between the two groups. The use of topical drugs to treat chronic localisation problems can effectively alleviate the patient's discomfort and reduce the symptoms of skin lesions. At the same time, it has high safety and good promotion value.
Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common type of thyroid malignancy, with growing incidence every year. microRNAs (miRs) are known to regulate the physiological and pathological processes of cancers, such as proliferation, migration, invasion, survival, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Herein, this study aimed to investigate the effect of miR-539 on cell proliferation, apoptosis, and EMT by targeting secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI) via the transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1)/Smads signaling pathway in PTC. First, PTC-related differentially expressed genes and regulatory miR were screened using bioinformatics analysis, dual luciferase reporter gene assay, and ribonucleoprotein immunoprecipitation, which identified the SLPI gene and the regulatory miR-539 for this study. We identified SLPI as a highly expressed gene in PTC tissues, and SLPI was targeted and negatively regulated by miR-539. Then, we introduced a series of miR-539 mimics, miR-539 inhibitors, and small interfering RNA against SLPI plasmids into CGTHW-3 cells to examine the effects of miR-539 and SLPI on the expression of TGF-β1/Smads signaling pathway-, EMT-, and apoptosis-related factors, as well as cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis. The obtained results indicated that CGTHW-3 cells treated with silenced SLPI or overexpressed miR-539 suppressed the cell proliferation, migration, invasion abilities, and resistance to apoptosis of PTC cells, corresponding to increased expression of Bcl-2-associated X protein, TGF-β1, Sekelsky mothers against dpp 4, and epithelial cadherin, and decreased B cell lymphoma 2, Vimentin, and N-cadherin. Altogether, we concluded that overexpressed miR-539 could inhibit the PTC cell proliferation and promote apoptosis and EMT by targeting SPLI via activation of the TGF-β1/Smads signaling pathway.
胃癌在我国占肿瘤总死亡率的第二位[1],主要依靠胃镜下对可疑肿瘤部位取活检后做病理来确诊。肿瘤标志物(CEA,CA125等)对癌症患者的筛查具有预测作用[2],但敏感性和特异性较低。近年来随着非编码RNA的发现,其在癌症组织和健康组织中存在差异性表达成为研究热点,并有望成为肿瘤的新的血清学标志物及治疗的靶点[3]。HOTAIR作为一种长链非编码RNA已经被证实在胃
