Article Abstract
Background: Glucocorticoid modulatory element-binding protein 1 (GMEB1), which has been identified as a transcription factor, is a protein widely expressed in various tissues. Reportedly, the dysregulation of GMEB1 is linked to the genesis and development of multiple cancers.
Aim: To explore GMEB1's biological functions in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and figuring out the molecular mechanism.
Methods: GMEB1 expression in HCC tissues was analyzed employing the StarBase database. Immunohistochemical staining, Western blotting and quantitative real-time PCR were conducted to examine GMEB1 and Yes-associate protein 1 (YAP1) expression in HCC cells and tissues. Cell counting kit-8 assay, Transwell assay and flow cytometry were utilized to examine HCC cell proliferation, migration, invasion and apoptosis, respectively. The JASPAR database was employed for predicting the binding site of GMEB1 with YAP1 promoter. Dual-luciferase reporter gene assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation-qPCR were conducted to verify the binding relationship of GMEB1 with YAP1 promoter region.
Results: GMEB1 was up-regulated in HCC cells and tissues, and GMEB1 expression was correlated to the tumor size and TNM stage of HCC patients. GMEB1 overexpression facilitated HCC cell multiplication, migration, and invasion, and suppressed the apoptosis, whereas GMEB1 knockdown had the opposite effects. GMEB1 bound to YAP1 promoter region and positively regulated YAP1 expression in HCC cells.
Conclusion: GMEB1 facilitates HCC malignant proliferation and metastasis by promoting the transcription of the YAP1 promoter region.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease, primarily impacting joints and bones. The Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets (GSE55235 and GSE10500) revealed that KLF11 expression was lower in the patients with RA, which was confirmed by the collected RA samples. However, KLF11's function and molecular mechanism in RA remain to be elucidated.

Cisplatin resistance remains a major challenge in the treatment of ovarian cancer, significantly limiting therapeutic efficacy. This study aimed to investigate the role of E26 transformation-specific transcription factor 3 (ELK3) in cisplatin resistance and elucidate the underlying molecular mechanism involving the tropomyosin 2 (TPM2)-Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) signaling axis. By silencing ELK3 and TPM2 in combination with cisplatin treatment, the regulatory effects of ELK3 and TPM2 on cisplatin sensitivity in ovarian cancer cells were evaluated.

Introduction: The homeostasis of chorionic trophoblast cell (CTC) barrier is essential for maintaining pregnancy. Although its hormone imbalanced and immune dysfunction are recognized as contributors of premature birth, the impact of physical barrier dysfunction, particularly in spontaneous premature labor with intact fetal membranes (sPTL), remains poorly understood.
Methods: Biomarkers of CTC barrier integrity, including histopathological changes, cell junction protein expression, and transmembrane electrical resistivity (TEER), were compared in term not in labor (TNL), sPTL, and term in labor (TL) groups.

Gastric cancer (GC) remains a lethal malignancy with limited therapeutic targets, while recent studies revealed YAP could be a promising target for GC treatment. In our study, we identify oxytocin receptor (OXTR) as an important regulator of Hippo/YAP axis. Through bioinformatics analysis, RNA sequencing analysis, functional research, and molecular mechanism research, we found that OXTR could facilitate Hippo/YAP axis, while YAP were shown to bind the OXTR promoter, enhancing its expression and establishing an interesting positive feedback loop.
