Article Abstract

Objective: To study the expression level and clinical significance of Gli1 gene in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome(MDS).

Methods: The positive rate of bone marrow CD34 cells was detected by flow cytometry in 53 patients with MDS.Magnetic beads were used to separate CD34 cells. The expression of Gli1 on CD34 cells was detected by RT-qPCR, 25 patients with iron deficiency anemia were selected as controls. The relationship of Gli1 expression with clinical characteristics were analyzed.

Results: The expression of Gli1 in patients with MDS (0.73±1.26) was significantly higher than that in the control group (0.07±0.46) (P<0.05). The expression of Gli1 significantly correlated with platelet count, chromosome grouping and IPSS risk stratification (P<0.05). The median overall survival time of patients in high and low expression groups were 7 and 20 months respectively (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that Gli1 and chromosome grouping were 2 independent poor prognostic factors (P<0.05).

Conclusion: The expression of Gli1 is high in MDS. Abnormal expression of Gli1 positively correlates with clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients.Gli1 may be involved in the occurrence and development of MDS.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the leading cancers worldwide, and its development is strongly associated with the tumour microenvironment, particularly fibrosis and chronic inflammation. This study aims to investigate the role of the Hedgehog (Hh) pathway, a key signalling pathway in HCC progression, in the interaction between HCC cells and monocytes, which are central players in inflammation. Using a transwell migration assay, GLI1, the downstream transcriptional effector of the Hh pathway in HCC cells, was found to promote the migration of THP-1 monocyte cells.

Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a noninvasive precursor of breast cancer with a high potential for progression. Aberrant DNA methylation plays a pivotal role in early tumorigenesis, yet the regulatory mechanisms remain incompletely defined. Integrated bioinformatic analysis of methylation and transcriptomic datasets identified miR-217 as a candidate regulator of DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1).

Aims: In recent years, molecular methods have emerged as valuable tools for identifying novel characteristics and recognizing extremely rare entities, thereby enhancing our understanding of their occurrence. In this case series, we present four exceptionally rare mesenchymal lesions affecting the knee region. Each case posed unique challenges, highlighting the pivotal role of molecular testing in achieving accurate diagnoses.

Glioblastoma (GBM) represents an extremely aggressive brain malignancy with limited treatment options, difficult prognosis and a highly heterogeneous cellular architecture, including a subpopulation of cancer stem-like cells (CSCs). These CSCs frequently rely on developmental signaling pathways such as Sonic Hedgehog (SHH), which are typically dormant in adult tissue but reactivated in tumors. This study aimed to investigate how SHH pathway inhibition affects both bulk GBM cells (GBMCs) and CD133 + GBM cells (GBM CSCs), with particular emphasis on the influence of astrocyte co-culture, which more closely mimics the brain tumor microenvironment.

The extracellular matrix (ECM) plays essential roles in regulating various aspects of nervous system development. The ECM can be obtained through decellularization techniques, which preserve the native structure of tissue while removing cells and genetic material. Despite recent advancements in decellularization methods, removing cells from brain tissue remains challenging due to its delicate mechanical structure.
