Article Abstract

GLI pathogenesis-related 1 (GLIPR1) was previously identified as an epigenetically regulated tumor suppressor in prostate cancer and, conversely, an oncoprotein in glioma. More recently, GLIPR1 was shown to be differentially expressed in other cancers including ovarian, acute myeloid leukemia, and Wilms' tumor. Here we investigated GLIPR1 expression in metastatic melanoma cell lines and tissue. GLIPR1 was variably expressed in metastatic melanoma cells, and transcript levels correlated with degree of GLIPR1 promoter methylation in vitro. Elevated GLIPR1 levels were correlated with increased invasive potential, and siRNA-mediated knockdown of GLIPR1 expression resulted in reduced cell migration and proliferation in vitro. Immunohistochemical studies of melanoma tissue microarrays showed moderate to high staining for GLIPR1 in 50% of specimens analyzed. GLIPR1 staining was observed in normal skin in merocrine sweat glands, sebaceous glands, and hair follicles within the dermis.

Extracellular Vesicle Protein Panel Enables Early Lung Cancer Detection in a Large Clinical Cohort.

The early detection and diagnosis of lung cancer through extracellular vesicle (EV)-based liquid biopsy show substantial promise for enhancing clinical outcomes. Nonetheless, there is a scarcity of large-scale clinical investigations validating EV-based liquid biopsy. To evaluate the EV membrane protein panel as a diagnostic tool for early-stage cancer detection and validate its efficacy and clinical applicability, a cohort comprised of 302 individuals without cancer and 645 with lung cancer was recruited.

5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is an effective drug in the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC); however, the development of acquired resistance to 5-FU poses a great challenge in clinical practice. Through the analysis of public datasets, we found that reduced 3-Hydroxybutyrate Dehydrogenase 2 (BDH2) expression in CRC tissues predicted poor survival in CRC patients. Low expression of BDH2 in clinical CRC tissue samples predicted a higher degree of malignancy.

Despite recent advances in pre-clinical research on cardiac remodeling following myocardial infarction (MI), the precise molecular pathways remain poorly understood and effective therapies for heart failure are still delayed in development. Aged animal models may more accurately reflect the clinical scenario, as aging alters the cellular identities and impedes cardiac repair. In this manuscript, we investigated the expression profile of mouse cardiac fibroblasts following myocardial infarction, using both young and aged animals to enhance the translational significance.

Background: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) frequently occurs in preterm infants, causing significantly impaired lung function and increased mortality rates. Studies on plasma protein levels can facilitate early detection of BPD, enabling prompt intervention and a decrease in mortality.

Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study involving proteomic sequencing of plasma samples from 19 preterm infants.
