Article Abstract
Human cancer statistics report that respiratory related cancers such as lung, laryngeal, oral and nasopharyngeal cancers account for a large proportion of tumors, and tumor metastasis remains the major reason for patient death. The metastasis of tumor cells requires actin cytoskeleton remodeling, in which fascin-1 plays an important role. Fascin-1 can cross-link F-actin microfilaments into bundles and form finger-like cell protrusions. Some studies have shown that fascin-1 is overexpressed in human tumors and is associated with tumor growth, migration and invasion. The role of fascin-1 in respiratory related cancers is not very clear. The main purpose of this study was to provide an updated literature review on the role of fascin-1 in the pathogenesis, diagnosis and management of respiratory related cancers. These studies suggested that fascin-1 can serve as an emerging biomarker and potential therapeutic target, and has attracted widespread attention.

Fascin-1, an actin-bundling protein, plays a crucial role in cancer cell motility, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). While its significance has been demonstrated in several malignancies, its clinical relevance in thymic carcinoma remains unclear. We retrospectively analyzed 10 surgically resected thymic carcinoma cases treated at Kochi University Hospital from 2008 to 2024.

The persistence of myelin debris after spinal cord injury (SCI) constitutes a formidable barrier to axonal regeneration, remyelination, and functional recovery by initiating inflammatory cascades. Microglia, known for their superior phagocytic and degradative capabilities, are crucial in clearing myelin debris. Yet, the molecular mechanisms governing their function remain elusive.

The cellular mechanisms underlying osteoarthritis pathogenesis are not fully understood. However, recent in vivo and in vitro studies show that actin cytoskeletal reorganization plays a critical role in the progression of osteoarthritis. It has been shown that targeting the inhibition of actin-bundling protein, fascin, is a favorable way to reorganize actin and prevent chondrocyte dedifferentiation that occurs in osteoarthritis.

This investigation delves into the impact of Fascin-1, a protein known for its role in actin bundling and its association with metastatic enhancement, on the advancement of cervical cancer (CC). Elevated levels of Fascin-1 have been observed in metastatic carcinomas, but its impact on gene regulation in CC has not been thoroughly studied. Our research demonstrates a marked elevation in the expression of Fascin-1 within tissues affected by CC.
