Article Abstract

Extensive desmoplasia in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is associated with tumor aggressiveness, indicating a need for further understanding of CCA cell-matrix interaction. This study demonstrated laminin as the most potent attractant for CCA cell migration and the vast elevation of its receptor integrin β4 (ITGB4) in CCA cell lines. Besides, their high expressions in CCA tissues were correlated with lymphatic invasion and the presence of ITGB4 was also associated with short survival time. ITGB4 silencing revealed it as the receptor for laminin-induced HuCCA-1 migration, but KKU-213 utilized 37/67-kDa laminin receptor (LAMR) instead. These findings highlight the role of ITGB4 and LAMR in transducing laminin induction of CCA cell migration and the potential of ITGB4 as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for CCA.

Noncoding RNA regulatory networks play crucial roles in human breast cancer. The aim of this study was to establish a network containing multi-type RNAs and RBPs in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Differential expression analyses of lncRNAs, miRNAs, and genes were performed using the GEO2R tool.

Targeted degradation of Werner syndrome helicase (WRN) via ligand-directed covalent hydrophobic tagging.

The Werner syndrome RecQ helicase (WRN) has recently emerged as a novel synthetic lethality target for microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) cancers. However, available WRN inhibitors or degraders is still lacking so far. Particularly, chemically designed probes capable of degrading WRN irrespective of microsatellite status remain unexplored.

Aquatic microorganisms typically inhabit a heterogeneous resource landscape, composed of localized and transient patches. To effectively exploit these resources, they have evolved a wide range of feeding strategies that combine chemotactic motility with active feeding flows. However, there is a notable lack of experimental studies that examine how these active flows shape resource fields to optimize feeding.

The short lifespan of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) in vitro poses challenges, as their limited viability restricts functional assays and experimental manipulations. The HL-60 cell line serves as a valuable model for neutrophil-like differentiation, yet the functional relevance of ATRA- and DMSO-induced differentiation remains incompletely understood. In the present study, we aimed to characterize the differentiation potential of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) on HL-60 cells and compare their functionality with primary PMNs.
