Introduction: This study aims to explore the potential of LMNB1 and LMNB2 as prognostic risk factors in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and investigate small-molecule drugs targeting both for therapeutic application.
Methods: LMNB1 and LMNB2 expression in HCC was assessed using TCGA data and validated in clinical specimens. Kaplan-Meier and Cox models evaluated prognostic relevance. Drug sensitivity screening using CTRP and GDSC databases highlighted GSK461364 (a selective PLK1 inhibitor), whose effects were validated in Hep3B and SK-HEP-1.
Results: LMNB1 and LMNB2 were aberrantly up-regulated in HCC tissues and contributed to the poor prognosis of HCC patients. Co-expression modules and enriched pathways of LMNB1 and LMNB2 were linked to nuclear architecture and cell senescence, indicating their roles in genomic stability and cell cycle progression. GSK461364 was validated to inhibit the cell viability of HCC cells. It suppressed the expression of LMNB1 and LMNB2 but not PLK1, suggesting its anti-HCC effect depends on inhibition of LMNB1/2 rather than PLK1.
Discussion: Our findings suggest that LMNB1 and LMNB2 could serve as prognostic biomarkers. GSK461364 likely exerts anti-HCC effects through suppression of LMNB1 and LMNB2 expression. Further in vivo validation and molecular mechanism studies are needed to establish its clinical utility.
Conclusion: LMNB1 and LMNB2 are prognostic factors for HCC. GSK461364 is a novel therapeutic candidate for HCC, with anti-HCC effects associated with LMNB1/2 suppression.

This paper studies the toxic effect of micron-sized quartz silica particles on primary human airway epithelial cells (AECs) and the molecular mechanism of its induction of apoptosis. Studies have found that micron-sized quartz silica particles cause AECs damage by activating cell apoptosis. By constructing a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network, it was identified that three circRNAs (hsa_circ_0052203, hsa_circ_0022429, hsa_circ_0052264) and four key miRNAs (hsa-miR-4646-5p, hsa-miR-150-3p, hsa-miR-6798-3p, hsa-miR-6756-5p) play key roles in regulating apoptosis.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a prevalent malignant tumor, and the current treatment methods exhibit various limitations. In recent years, the role of mitochondrial permeability transition-driven necrosis-related genes (MPT-DNRGs) in the pathogenesis and progression of severe diseases, particularly tumors, has garnered significant attention. This study aimed to identify new targets and concepts for MPT-DNRG-targeted therapy in HCC.

Lamins, which are crucial type V intermediate filament proteins found in the nuclear lamina, are essential for maintaining the stability and function of the nucleus in higher vertebrates. They are classified into A- and B-types, and their distinct expression patterns contribute to cellular survival, development, and functionality. Lamins emerged during the transition from open to closed mitosis, with their complexity increasing alongside organism evolution.

The maintenance of nuclear shape is essential for cellular homeostasis and disruptions in this process have been linked to various pathological conditions, including cancer, laminopathies, and aging. Despite the significance of nuclear shape, the precise molecular mechanisms controlling it are not fully understood. In this study, we have identified the YEATS domain-containing protein 4 (GAS41) as a previously unidentified factor involved in regulating nuclear morphology.
