In the tumor malignancy progression, lymph node metastasis (LNM) is recognized as an important factor. In this study, RNA interference (RNAi) was employed to down-regulate ANXA7 gene in Hca-F cells, a hepatocarcinoma cell line with high LNM rate. There was no significant effect on cell proliferation ability, but cell division, motility, and invasion abilities were markedly inhibited. By contrast, up-regulating the expression of ANXA7 gene in Hca-P cells with lower LNM rate, cell migration ability was improved and the percentage of cells in S phase was significantly decreased in vitro. Here, we reported that the expression of Ech1, GSN and JNK1 genes, which were relevant to tumor lymphatic metastasis, had been inhibited due to down-regulation ANXA7 gene and promoted due to up-regulation ANXA7 gene by western blot analysis. These results indicated that ANXA7 is a critical factor in the development of lymphatic metastasis in hepatocarcinoma progression.

Spinal cord injury is characterized by high incidence and high disability, and the specific targets and drugs have not yet been explored. Lipid droplet is a type of organelles that regulates lipid metabolism and oxidative stress. And the regulatory mechanisms of lipid droplets on spinal cord injury remain unclear.

Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignancy in the United States, with an overall favorable prognosis. However, some patients experience poor outcomes due to the development of resistance to conventional therapies. Genetic alterations, including mutations in BRAF, Met, and p53, play critical roles in thyroid cancer progression, with the BRAF V600E mutation detected in over 60% of cases.

Introduction: Oral squamous cell carcinomas typically arise from precancerous lesions such as leukoplakia and erythroplakia. These lesions exhibit a range of histological changes from hyperplasia to dysplasia and carcinoma in situ, during their transformation to malignancy. The molecular mechanisms driving this multistage transition remain incompletely understood.

Ubiquitin-like containing PHD and RING finger domains 1 (UHRF1) is involved in tumorigenicity through DNA methylation in various cancers, including breast cancer. This study aims to investigate the regulatory mechanisms of UHRF1 in breast cancer progression. Herein, we show that UHRF1 is upregulated in breast cancer tissues and cell lines as measured by western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry.

The fibrotic stroma characterizing pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) derives from a progressive tissue rigidification, which induces epithelial mesenchymal transition and metastatic dissemination. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of matrix stiffness on PDAC progression by analyzing the proteome of PDAC-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs). PDAC cell lines (mPDAC and KPC) were grown on synthetic supports with a stiffness close to non-tumor (NT) or tumor tissue (T), and the protein expression levels in cell-derived EVs were analyzed by a quantitative MS label-free mass spectrometry approach.
