Article Abstract

Introduction: To explore the potential impact of 27-hydroxycholesterol (27-HC) on trophoblast cell function in pre-eclampsia.

Results: The levels of 27-HC and the expression of CYP27A1 are upregulated in clinical samples of PE. Furthermore, high concentrations of 27-HC can inhibit the invasion and migration ability of trophoblast cells in vitro, and this inhibitory effect is weakened after LXR silencing. In HTR8/SVneo cells treated with 27-HC, the expression of ABCA1/ABCG1 are increased. Finally, we established a mouse model of PE using l-NAME (N-Nitro-l-Arginine Methyl Ester). We found an increase in the levels of 27-HC in the peripheral blood serum of the PE mouse model, and an upregulation of CYP27A1 and LXR expressions in the placenta of the PE mouse model.

Conclusion: 27-HC inhibits the invasion and migration ability of trophoblast cells by activating the LXR signaling pathway, which is involved in the pathogenesis of Pre-eclampsia(PE).

Objectives: To study the impact of SURF4 expression level on long-term prognosis of gastric cancer (GC) and biological behaviors of GC cells.

Methods: SURF4 expression level in GC and its association with long-term patient prognosis were analyzed using publicly available databases and in 155 GC patients with low and high SURF4 expressions detected immunohistochemically. The Cox proportional hazard model and Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to analyze independent prognostic predictors of GC and the 5-year survival rate of the patients with different SURF4 expression levels.

Objectives: To study the molecular mechanisms of LDH-loaded si-NEAT1 for regulating paclitaxel resistance and tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) polarization in breast cancer.

Methods: qRT-PCR and Western blotting were used to detect the expression of lncRNA NEAT1, miR-133b, and PD-L1 in breast cancer SKBR3 cells and paclitaxel-resistant SKBR3 cells (SKBR3-PR). The effects of transfection with si-NEAT1 and miR-133b mimics on MRP, MCRP and PD-L1 expressions and cell proliferation, migration and apoptosis were investigated using qRT-PCR, Western blotting, scratch and Transwell assays, and flow cytometry.

Introduction: The presence of severe hypoxic stress can drive tumor growth, angiogenesis, and metastatic characteristics via up-regulated hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α). Hence, targeting HIF-1α is considered a promising strategy, as increased HIF-1α activity is a key factor in the aggressive phenotype of malignancies. In this study, we aimed to investigate the anti-cancer effects of several flavonoids, both single and in combination with PX-478, in breast cancer cell lines.

Phospholipids play a crucial role in various aspects of cancer biology, including tumor progression, metastasis, and cell survival. Recent studies have highlighted the signifi-cance of phospholipid metabolism and signaling in multiple cancer types, such as breast, cer-vical, prostate, bladder, colorectal, liver, lung, melanoma, mesothelioma, and oral cancer. Al-terations in phospholipid profiles, particularly in phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethan-olamine, have been identified as potential biomarkers for cancer diagnosis and prognosis.
