Article Abstract
Cell motility and adhesion are fundamental components for diverse physiological functions, including embryonic development, immune responses and tissue repair. Dysregulation of these processes can lead to a range of diseases, including cancer. Cell motility and adhesion are complex and often require regulation by an intricate network of signalling pathways, with phosphatidylinositol phosphates (PIPs) having a central role. PIPs are derived from phosphatidylinositol phosphorylation and are instrumental in mediating membrane dynamics, intracellular trafficking, cytoskeletal organization and signal transduction, all of which are crucial for cellular responses to environmental stimuli. Here we discuss the mechanisms through which PIPs modulate cell motility and adhesion by examining their roles at focal adhesions, within the cytoskeleton, at protein scaffolds and in the nucleus. By providing a comprehensive overview of PIP signalling, this Review underscores their significance in maintaining cellular homeostasis and highlights their potential as therapeutic targets in diseases characterized by aberrant cell motility and adhesion.

The sterile insect technique (SIT) is a highly effective biologically-based method for the suppression of many insect pest populations. SIT efficacy could be improved by methods of male sterilization that avoid the use of irradiation that can result in diminished fitness and mating competitiveness. Alternative sterilization methods include conditional disruption of genes for male fertility, or using their sperm-specific promoters to drive the expression of genes for lethal effectors.

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.
