Article Abstract
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of centromere protein W (CENPW, also known as CUG2) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Methods: CENPW expression in HCC tissues and cells was detected by RT-qPCR assay. CCK-8 and colony formation assay were used to assess cell proliferation. Wound healing and Transwell assay was used to detect cell migration and invasion, respectively. The flow cytometry was used to analyze the cell cycle distribution and apoptosis.
Results: CENPW expression was upregulated in HCC tissues and cells. Knockdown of CENPW inhibited cell proliferation, migration, and invasion and induced the G0/G1 phase arrest and cell apoptosis in HCC cells, which might involve the E2F signaling regulation.
Conclusion: CENPW acted as an oncogenic role in HCC progression via activation E2F signaling. Our findings may provide new insights into the studying mechanisms of HCC.

Human T-cell leukemia virus type I: modulation of viral gene expression and perturbation of host signaling pathways lead to persistent infection.

Human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-1) was the first human pathogenic retrovirus to be discovered. HTLV-1 induces a T-cell malignancy, adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma (ATL), and inflammatory diseases, such as HTLV-1-associated myelopathy (HAM), HTLV-1 uveitis (HU), and HTLV-1-associated pulmonary disease (HAPD). Importantly, HTLV-1 maintains persistent infection by regulating viral gene expression and disrupting host signaling pathways - activities that are closely linked to its pathogenicity.

Histamine is a biogenic amine that plays important roles in the inflammatory phase of physiological wound healing and proliferation of normal and tumor cells. Stimulation of the histamine H1 receptor induces vascular endothelial cell proliferation, possibly contributing to angiogenesis during wound healing and cancer development. However, the specific signaling pathways involved in angiogenesis remain unclear.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) often progresses to chronic kidney disease (CKD), presenting a significant clinical challenge. The renin-angiotensin system (RAS), particularly the protective arm involving Angiotensin-(1-7) (Ang-(1-7)), offers a potential therapeutic target to mitigate this progression. This study explores the effects of Ang-(1-7) in a murine model of ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury-induced AKI.

In heterogeneous tumors, adjacent CpG sites form methylation haplotype blocks (MHBs), genomic regions where methylation status reflects local epigenetic concordance. While MHBs have been implicated in gene dysregulation, their pan-cancer dynamics and clinical relevance remain unclear. We profiled 110 primary tumors across 11 common solid cancer types, identifying 81,567 MHBs.

Background: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a primary liver cancer typically diagnosed at advanced stages, limiting treatment options and reducing survival rates. Targeted therapy presents a promising strategy to improve outcomes. This study aims to identify novel molecular biomarkers influencing ICC development and explore their roles in tumor progression.
