Identification of key pathways and molecular players potentially involved in endometrial cancer metastasis through integrated bioinformatics analyses.

Introduction: Endometrial cancer (EC) is a particularly frequent gynecological cancer, and metastasis is the leading cause of death in patients with EC. Using publicly accessible gene expression data, a bioinformatics study was carried out to increase our knowledge and reveal treatment targets for EC metastasis. This study aimed to identify new important molecular actors and clarify the molecular processes and pathways underlying EC metastasis.

Metformin exerted tumoricidal effects on colon cancer tumoroids via the regulation of autophagy pathway.

Background: Despite the existence of promising outcomes from standard 2D culture systems, these data are not completely akin to in vivo tumor parenchyma. Therefore, the development and fabrication of various 3D culture systems can in part mimic intricate cell-to-cell interaction within the real tumor mass. Here, we aimed to evaluate the tumoricidal impacts of metformin (MTF) on colorectal cancer (CRC) tumoroids in an in vitro system via the modulation of autophagy.

Tumoricidal properties of thymoquinone on human colorectal adenocarcinoma cells via the modulation of autophagy.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is deadly anaplastic changes in the gastrointestinal tract with high-rate mortality. In recent years, the application of phytocompounds has been extended along with different therapeutic protocols. Here, we monitored the effects of Thymoquinone (TQ) on autophagy via mitochondrial function after modulation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Dysregulated miRNAs in recurrent miscarriage: A systematic review.

Recurrent miscarriage (RM) is a complex reproductive medicine disease that affects many families. The cause of RM is unclear at this time; however, lifestyle and genetic variables may influence the process. The slight alteration in miRNA expression has enormous consequences for a variety of difficulties, one of which may be RM.

The Beneficial and Adverse Effects of Autophagic Response to Caloric Restriction and Fasting.

Each cell is equipped with a conserved housekeeping mechanism, known as autophagy, to recycle exhausted materials and dispose of injured organelles via lysosomal degradation. Autophagy is an early-stage cellular response to stress stimuli in both physiological and pathological situations. It is thought that the promotion of autophagy flux prevents host cells from subsequent injuries by removing damaged organelles and misfolded proteins.

Interaction of lncRNAs with mTOR in colorectal cancer: a systematic review.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most widespread cancer and the fourth leading lethal disease among different societies. It is thought that CRC accounts for about 10% of all newly diagnosed cancer cases with high-rate mortality. lncRNAs, belonging to non-coding RNAs, are involved in varied cell bioactivities.

Competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks in Parkinson's disease: A systematic review.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a distinctive clinical syndrome with several causes and clinical manifestations. Aside from an infectious cause, PD is a rapidly developing neurological disorder with a global rise in frequency. Notably, improved knowledge of molecular pathways and the developing novel diagnostic methods may result in better therapy for PD patients.

Assessing the expression of two post-transcriptional BDNF regulators, TTP and miR-16 in the peripheral blood of patients with Schizophrenia.

Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a severe mental disorder with an unknown pathophysiology. Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) is a neurotrophin that has been associated with synapse plasticity, learning, and memory, as well as neurodevelopment and neuroprotection. The importance of neurodevelopmental and neurotoxicity-related components in the pathophysiology of SCZ has been highlighted in research on the neurobiology of this disease.

CircRNA-Associated CeRNAs Regulatory Axes in Retinoblastoma: A Systematic Scoping Review.

Retinoblastoma (RB) is one of the most common childhood cancers caused by RB gene mutations (tumor suppressor gene in various patients). A better understanding of molecular pathways and the development of new diagnostic approaches may lead to better treatment for RB patients. The number of studies on ceRNA axes is increasing, emphasizing the significance of these axes in RB.

Stress Granules in the Anti-Cancer Medications Mechanism of Action: A Systematic Scoping Review.

Stress granule (SG) formation is a well-known cellular mechanism for minimizing stress-related damage and increasing cell survival. In addition to playing a critical role in the stress response, SGs have emerged as critical mediators in human health. It seems logical that SGs play a key role in cancer cell formation, development, and metastasis.

The Perspective of Dysregulated LncRNAs in Alzheimer's Disease: A Systematic Scoping Review.

LncRNAs act as part of non-coding RNAs at high levels of complex and stimulatory configurations in basic molecular mechanisms. Their extensive regulatory activity in the CNS continues on a small scale, from the functions of synapses to large-scale neurodevelopment and cognitive functions, aging, and can be seen in both health and disease situations. One of the vast consequences of the pathological role of dysregulated lncRNAs in the CNS due to their role in a network of regulatory pathways can be manifested in Alzheimer's as a neurodegenerative disease.

Stress Granules Involved in Formation, Progression and Metastasis of Cancer: A Scoping Review.

The assembly of stress granules (SGs) is a well-known cellular strategy for reducing stress-related damage and promoting cell survival. SGs have become important players in human health, in addition to their fundamental role in the stress response. The critical role of SGs in cancer cells in formation, progression, and metastasis makes sense.

Stress Granules and Neurodegenerative Disorders: A Scoping Review.

Cytoplasmic ribonucleoproteins called stress granules (SGs) are considered as one of the main cellular solutions against stress. Their temporary presence ends with stress relief. Any factor such as chronic stress or mutations in the structure of the components of SGs that lead to their permanent presence can affect their interactions with pathological aggregations and increase the degenerative effects.
