Article Abstract
Background: In breast cancer (BC), hypoxia is associated with poor prognosis. Protein Salvador homolog 1 (SAV1) acts as a tumor suppressor and is downregulated in the cancer cells. However, there is limited data on the expression profile of SAV1 and its importance in BC. It has not been studied to evaluate this phenomenon in a hypoxic microenvironment yet.
Aim: This study aimed to investigate SAV1 expression profiles under normoxia and hypoxia, and the potential of SAV1 in BC prognosis.
Methods: Gene and protein expression analyses were performed using Real-Time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and immunocytochemistry (ICC), respectively, and in silico analyses were performed using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). The survival curves were constructed using KMplotter.
Results: SAV1 expression was lower in BC samples and tumor cell lines than in normal samples. The SAV1 mRNA levels were reduced in hypoxic estrogen receptor positive (ER) tumors, which were associated with a lower survival probability as compared to normoxic ER tumors. Furthermore, lower levels of SAV1 were found in advanced cancer stage samples, which are associated with worse survival curves and can be a risk factor for BC.
Conclusions: These data suggest a potential prognostic role of SAV1 in BC, with lower expressions associated with worse prognosis.

This article presents the results of studies of the degradation of the structure and mechanical properties of the core materials BN-350 fast neutron and research WWR-K reactors required to justify the service life extension of early-generation power and research reactors. Extending the service life of nuclear reactors is a modern problem, since most operating reactors are early-generation reactors that have exhausted their design lifespan. The possibility of extending the service life is largely determined by the condition of the structural materials of the nuclear facility, i.

Osteosarcoma (OS) is a primary bone tumour that occurs mostly in adolescents and is associated with a high degree of malignancy, early metastasis, and poor prognosis. Pyropheophorbide-a methyl ester-Photodynamic therapy (MPPa-PDT) is a new approach for the clinical treatment of osteosarcoma that develops after surgery and radiotherapy; however, the presence of MPPa-PDT resistance in osteosarcoma greatly limits its efficacy. In this study, we found that Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase 2 (ROCK2) expression increased in osteosarcoma cells after MPPa-PDT treatment.

Thymic epithelial tumors (TETs) display heterogeneous histology and often unpredictable clinical behavior. The Hippo signaling pathway has been implicated in tumorigenesis, but its role in TETs remains poorly characterized. We performed the first comprehensive immunohistochemical analysis of core and upstream Hippo pathway components-YAP1, active YAP (AYAP), TAZ, LATS1, MOB1A, MST1, SAV1, and TEAD4-in 77 TETs.

This study aimed to identify insertion-deletion (InDel) variants in key genes of the Hippo signaling pathway in four Chinese sheep breeds: Tong sheep (TS), Hu sheep (HS), Small Tail Han sheep (STHS), and Lanzhou large-tailed sheep (LLTS). InDel variants in , , , , and genes were screened using public databases and identified through PCR amplification, gel electrophoresis, and sequencing. This study identified significant associations between InDel variants and growth traits across the four breeds.

With the ongoing advancement and utilization of rare earth elements, human and environmental exposure to these materials has risen substantially. Samarium oxide (Sm₂O₃), a rare earth element, has been shown to induce pulmonary fibrosis, but the mechanisms are not clear. This study aimed to investigate the primary mechanisms by which rare earth SmO contributes to pulmonary fibrosis in relation to the Hippo signaling pathway and to assess the interventional effects of Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE).
