Article Abstract

Aims: The study aimed to assess the diffused expression of p53 protein in patients with OSCC and its association with age at diagnosis (using 50 years as a cut point).

Study Design: Ten normal oral mucosa and sixty OSCC lesions from age-distinct patient populations were immunohistochemically analyzed for the expression of p53 protein.

Results: In OSCC cases, 31 out of total 60 cases (51.67%) showed positive expression for p53 protein and it was more common in older study group (56.67%) than in younger study group (46.67%) but the difference was not statistically significant. Moreover, there was also no significant difference in the p53 indices (percentage of p53 positive cells) between the two study groups (P = 0.827).

Conclusion: The alteration rates were found to be slightly higher in older patients although not statistically significant.

The p53 transcription factor family consists of the three members p53, p63, and p73. Both p63 and p73 exist in different isoforms that are well characterized. Isoforms have also been identified for p53 and it has been proposed that they are responsible for increased cancer metastasis.

Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) patient-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) behave differently than normal ones, creating a more protective environment for leukemia cells, making relapse harder to prevent. This study aimed to identify prognostic biomarkers and elucidate relevant biological pathways in AML by leveraging microarray data and advanced bioinformatics techniques. We retrieved the GSE122917 dataset from the NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus and performed differential expression analysis (DEA) within R Studio to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) among healthy donors, newly diagnosed AML patients, and relapsed AML patients.

Gastric cancer (GC) is a malignant tumor originating from the epithelial cells of the gastric mucosa. The 5-methylcytosine (mC) modification refers to the addition of a methyl group to the fifth carbon atom of cytosine in RNA molecules. This study aimed to investigate the role of NOL1/NOP2/SUN domain (NSUN)6 in GC and its underlying molecular mechanisms.

Sodium orthovanadate (vanadate), a potent inhibitor of p53, has been shown in earlier work to alleviate total-body irradiation (TBI)-induced hematopoietic syndrome. However, as p53 plays a crucial role in normal spermatogenesis, its suppression may raise concerns about potential adverse effects on male reproductive function. In this study, we investigated whether vanadate exacerbates impairment of male fertility when administered for hematopoietic protection under TBI conditions.

Metal oxide nanoparticles are employed in various applications such as medicine, environmental remediation, molecular sensing, and drug delivery. However, large-scale commercial production and the use of smaller-sized nanoparticles increase the potential risk of toxicity to humans. Therefore, there is an urgent need to investigate the toxicity of nanomaterials.
