Background: Restin is a member of the melanoma-associated antigen (MAGE) superfamily. Its expression has been reported to be up- or downregulated in cancer. Preclinical data suggest it is a tumor suppressor. In this study, we aimed to evaluate restin expression and prognostic value in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Methods: Restin expression was analyzed by immunohistochemistry in three tissue microarrays consisting of formalin-fixed/paraffin-embedded NSCLC specimens from 113 patients, represented in triplicate. Restin staining H-score was the result of the staining intensity (0-no, 1-weak, 2-moderate, and 3-strong) multiplied by the percentage of stained tumor cells; it was defined as low if 1-100, moderate if 101-200, and strong if 201-300. Haverage-score was the average H-score in the triplicate. Restin Haverage-scores were tested for correlations with clinical and pathological characteristics and patient outcome.
Results: Restin expression was localized to the cytoplasm, with nuclear enhancement, of 112/113 (99.1%) NSCLCs. Restin Haverage-scores were 0 in 1/113 (0.88%), low in 15/113 (13.3%), moderate in 48/113 (42.5%), and strong in 49/113 (43.4%) NSCLCs. Restin Haverage-scores did not correlate with NSCLC histological subtype, disease stage, recurrence/progression-free, or overall survival.
Conclusion: Restin is moderately to strongly expressed in the majority of NSCLC tumors but its expression has no prognostic value in patients with NSCLC.

Domestic pigs are a vital component of the global food supply, with a population nearing 780 million worldwide, making them one of the most commonly raised livestock. As pig production intensifies, the associated practices and environmental conditions may elevate the risk of emergence and spread of zoonotic agents, including ebolaviruses. Previously, we demonstrated that experimentall infection with Orthoebolavirus bundibugyoense and Orthoebolavirus restonense in pigs caused sub-clinical signs, with only a few animals exhibiting elevated temperatures and limited signs of acute respiratory distress.

Protein interactions are fundamental for all cellular metabolic activities. Cytoplasmic linker protein 170 (CLIP170) plays diverse roles in cellular processes and the development of malignant tumors. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) poses a significant challenge in oncology owing to its invasive nature, metastatic potential, high recurrence rates, and poor prognosis.

Metastasis poses a significant challenge in combating tumors. Even in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), which typically exhibits a favorable prognosis, high recurrence rates are attributed to metastasis. Cytoplasmic linker protein 170 (CLIP170) functions as a classical microtubule plus-end tracking protein (+TIP) and has shown close association with cell migration.

Salivary gland adenoid cystic carcinoma (SACC) is one of the most common malignant tumors, with high aggressive potential in the oral and maxillofacial regions. Lissencephaly 1 (LIS1) is a microtubule‑organizing center‑associated protein that regulates the polymerization and stability of microtubules by mediating the motor function of dynein. Recent studies have suggested that LIS1 plays a potential role in the malignant development of tumors, such as in mitosis and migration.
