Article Abstract
Background: The function of Family with sequence similarity 111 member B (FAM111B) has been reported in multiple malignancies, but its involvement in occurrence and development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is still unclear.
Purpose: To investigate the role of FAM111B in HCC and explore the potential molecular mechanism.
Methods: We examined the mRNA level of FAM111B via qPCR and protein level via immunohistochemistry in human HCC tissues. siRNA was used to construct a FAM111B-knockdown model in HCC cell lines. CCK-8, colony formation, transwell, and wound healing assays were performed to investigate the effect of FAM111B on proliferation, migration and invasion of HCC cell. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis, western blotting, and flow cytometry were carried out to find the related molecular mechanism.
Results: Human HCC tumor tissues exhibited higher expression of FAM111B, and high FAM111B expression was associated with poor prognosis. Vitro assays demonstrated that knockdown of FAM111B greatly repressed proliferation, migration and invasion of HCC cells. Furthermore, silencing of FAM111B significantly resulted in cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 and downregulation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related proteins MMP7 and MMP9 via activation of p53 pathway.
Conclusion: FAM111B played an essential role in promoting HCC development by regulation of p53 pathway.

Objective: CircRNAs are involved in cancer progression. However, their role in immune escape in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains poorly understood.
Methods: This study employed RIP-seq for the targeted enrichment of circRNAs, followed by Western blotting and RT-qPCR to confirm their expression.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is an aggressive malignancy with a poor prognosis. Abnormal expression of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is closely linked to NSCLC progression, highlighting the need for effective FAK inhibitors in NSCLC treatment. In this study we conducted high-throughput virtual screening combined with cellular assays to identify potential FAK inhibitors for NSCLC treatment.

Glioma is a malignant brain tumor in which the lncRNA ENSG00000232259 is significantly upregulated. Bioinformatics predictions suggest that it may encode the polypeptide ENSG00000232259-ORF, but the biological function and mechanisms of this polypeptide in glioma remain unclear. Gene expression and correlation analyses were conducted using the GEPIA database, combined with GetORF to predict the polypeptide-coding potential, and Western blot was employed to validate the expression of ENSG00000232259-ORF.

Purpose: A disintegrin-like and metalloprotease with thrombospondin type 1 motif 13 (ADAMTS13) has been found to increase and to be associated with diabetic retinopathy (DR). The study aimed to identify the role of ADAMTS13 in the pathogenesis of angiogenesis in DR.
Methods: ADAMTS13 expression was evaluated in human retinal microvascular endothelial cells (HRMVECs), vitreous sample from patients with proliferative DR and diabetic mice model using western blot, real time-quantitative PCR, immunofluorescence and ELISA.
