Full-length U6 (U6-1) loci are widely dispersed throughout the genome (200-900 copies), but a few U6 full-length loci have been identified to date as potentially active genes. The importance of U6 to carry out, together with other snRNAs, the catalytic activity and recognition of annealing target sequences, its evolution in the genome and the fact that the genome has many U6 copies and pseudogenes, its association with retrotransposition, as well as their implication in diseases is discussed in this review.","PeriodicalId":10487,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Oncology and Research","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88081231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The role of histological classification, including pancreatobiliary (PB) and intestinal (INT), on survival and recurrence outcomes in ampullary cancer is still debatable.\u0000Methods: 42 patients were identified between 1996-2010.\u0000Results: Nineteen classic pancreatoduodenectomies (PD) and 23 pylorus-preserving PDs were performed. Pathological review revealed 23, 18 and 1 patients with the PB, INT and mixed histology, respectively. Adjuvant chemoradiation (ACRT), chemotherapy, and radiation were given to 14 (33.3%), 4 (9.5%) and 2 (4.8%) patients, respectively. Recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) from time of surgery were higher in the PB histological variant compared to INT (p=0.005 and 0.012, respectively). A landmark (LM) analysis found higher survival in the PB variant patients compared to INT (RFS p=0.023; OS p=0.048). There was no difference in RFS between both histological variants for patients who underwent surgery alone (p=0.42). However, the PB had higher RFS compared to the INT histology for patients who underwent ACRT (p=0.008).\u0000Conclusion: Ampullary carcinoma with PB histological variant was associated with significant survival benefit.

Prior studies have shown a strong correlation between \u0000treating facility and survival for different cancers, but this has not been studied in SRCCE. The goal of this \u0000study is to assess differences in survival based on the type of treatment facility.\u0000Methods: There were 2,021 patients with SRCCE identified using the histology 8490 and topography codes \u0000C15.0-C15.9 in the National Cancer Database (NCDB). Descriptive analysis, Kaplan-Meier curves, and a \u0000multivariable Cox hazard regression analysis were all utilized to determine the significance of treatment \u0000facility type and other variables.\u0000Results: The cohort mostly received treatment at academic centers (47.7%). As age increased, mortality \u0000also increased (HR=1.01; 95% CI:1.01-1.02, p<0.001). Africans Americans (HR=1.44; 95% CI:1.02-2.02, \u0000p=0.036) had an increased risk of mortality when compared to Non-Hispanic Caucasians. Patients at \u0000academic facilities demonstrated a decreased risk of mortality when compared to community programmes \u0000(HR=0.73; 95% CI:0.64-0.84, p<0.001) and integrated cancer programmes (HR=0.69; 95% CI:0.58-0.83, \u0000p=0.008).

Therapies have been developed using FLT3 inhibitors, however, drug resistance often leads to disease relapse. In this study, α-Mangostin and doxorubicin (Dox) were evaluated, singly and in combination, for their anti-leukemic effect on MOLM-13, an AML cell line with FLT3-ITD mutation. Cell viability and apoptosis were determined using CyQUANTGR and TUNEL assay, respectively. Cell cycle analysis was conducted on propidium iodide-stained cells using flow cytometry. Cellular proteins were quantified using Western blot technique, with additional study by ELISA for FLT3 kinase activity. The results revealed that cell treatment by the combined drug, Dox (1 µM) and α-Mangostin (20 µM), compared to Dox (1 µM) alone, caused a significant inhibitory effect (P<0.001) and indicated synergistic cell growth inhibition. The combined drug also showed increased TUNEL positive apoptotic cells and increased expression of the pro-apoptotic protein Bak compared to Dox alone (P<0.05). Dox treated cells, as well as the combined drug induced cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase compared to untreated cells (P<0.05 and P<0.001, respectively). There was also statistically significant (P<0.05) reduction of cdc25 phosphatases (enzymes which play an important role in G2/M transition) by the combination drug compared to sole cell treatment by Dox. Furthermore, phosphorylated FLT3 protein expression was reduced when the combined treatment was compared to Dox only after 2 h (P<0.05) and after 24 h (P<0.001). Thus, Dox and α-Mangostin combined treatment inhibited FLT3 phosphorylation in MOLM-13 cells which could have contributed to G2M cell arrest and apoptosis via cdc25s and Bak proteins respectively. Further studies are warranted to further evaluate the potential of Dox and α-Mangostin combined drug as inhibitors of FLT3-ITD phosphorylation and its potential clinical relevance in AML treatment.","PeriodicalId":10487,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Oncology and Research","volume":"129 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77855762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, certain cytotoxic cancer chemotherapeutic drugs can kill tumor cells by triggering immunogenic cell death (ICD). Cells undergoing ICD release damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) to activate robust innate and adaptive anti-tumor immune responses. Despite many compounds being able to trigger one or two hallmarks of ICD, very few bona fide ICD inducers are available. Identification of bioactive natural ICD inducers with low side effects and high tolerability represents a priority in biomedical research. In this review, we discuss the various strategies to regulate the hallmarks of ICD and enhance immunogenic potentials. We focus on evaluating the potential of natural compounds of marine origin to amplify the effects of ICD and therefore serve as novel therapeutic anti-cancer agents alone or in combination with existent chemo- or immune-therapies.","PeriodicalId":10487,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Oncology and Research","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82164436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
