Article Abstract

The cell division cycle 20 homologue (CDC20) is known to regulate the cell cycle. Many studies have suggested that dysregulation of CDC20 is associated with various pathological processes in malignant solid tumors, including tumorigenesis, progression, chemoradiotherapy resistance, and poor prognosis, providing a biomarker for cancer diagnosis and prognosis. Some researchers have demonstrated that CDC20 also regulates apoptosis, immune microenvironment, and tumor angiogenesis. In this review, we have systematically summarized the biological functions of CDC20 in solid cancers. Furthermore, we briefly synthesized multiple medicines that inhibited CDC20. We anticipate that CDC20 will be a promising and effective biomarker and therapeutic target for the treatment of human cancer.

The RNA-binding protein OsDMCK1 is required for meiotic cytokinesis by regulating cell plate formation in rice.

Plant cytokinesis is distinguished from animal cytokinesis by the formation of a cell plate between dividing cells. While meiotic cytokinesis involves two successive nuclear divisions with distinct regulatory mechanisms from mitosis, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this study, we identified OsDMCK1, a novel rice RNA-binding protein essential for male fertility.

E3 ubiquitin ligases engage their substrates via 'degrons' - short linear motifs typically located within intrinsically disordered regions of substrates. As these enzymes are large, multi-subunit complexes that generally lack natural small-molecule ligands and are difficult to inhibit via conventional means, alternative strategies are needed to target them in diseases, and peptide-based inhibitors derived from degrons represent a promising approach. Here we explore peptide inhibitors of Cdc20, a substrate-recognition subunit and activator of the E3 ubiquitin ligase the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) that is essential in mitosis and consequently of interest as an anti-cancer target.

Wuding chicken, an indigenous avian breed native to China, is known for its high-quality meat and eggs. However, it has a low egg production rate, poor reproductive traits, and strong broody behavior. Ovarian follicle development is essential for egg production and reproduction, being regulated by the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovary (HPO) axis.

Background: A key to understanding cancer is to determine the impact on the cellular pathways caused by the repertoire of DNA changes accrued in a cancer cell. Exploring the interactions between genomic aberrations and the expressed transcriptome can not only improve our understanding of the disease but also identify potential therapeutic approaches.

Results: Using random forest models, we successfully identified transcriptional patterns associated with the loss of wild-type activity in cancer-related genes across various tumour types.

Background: Cervical cancer remains a prevalent malignancy with rising incidence, primarily due to sexual transmission, persistent HPV infection, and delayed screening. Identifying new biomarkers is critical for improved diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of cervical cancer. This study utilized integrated bioinformatics to identify potential biomarkers by analysing gene expression data from the GEO database.
