Glioma cell lines A172 and U87 and a xenograft mouse model were used to analyze the function of KLHL7 in vitro and in vivo, respectively. Gene expression levels and protein amounts were assessed by quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction and western blotting, respectively. Cell viability was assessed using the CCK-8 assay, and the cell cycle was analyzed via flow cytometry. The glutamine content was measured using a biochemical assay. The level of KLHL7 was upregulated in patients with glioma. KLHL7 knockdown reduced cell viability, inhibited cell cycle progression, and decreased the glutamine content in A172 cells. KLHL7 silencing inhibited tumor growth in vivo. Furthermore, KLHL7 overexpression enhanced cell viability, cell cycle progression, and glutamine metabolism and activated the β-catenin signaling pathway in U87 cells.

In this study, we aim to explore the mechanisms of how EGFR/STAT3 signaling regulates CD47 expression in cervical cancer, and whether p65 or RAB31 is involved in this process. RNA interference was used to knock down the fragment of HPV in cervical cancer cells. EGFR and RAB31 phosphorylation were detected by western blot, and exosomal CD47 was determined by ELISA. EGFR or STAT3 was then knocked down and western blot was used to detect the expression or phosphorylation of EGFR, STAT3, p65, CD47, RAB31, and its related proteins. ChIP-qPCR was used to investigate p65 enrichment in the CD47 promoter region. Our results showed that HPV fragment knockdown reduced the phosphorylation of EGFR and RAB31, and exosomal CD47 expression. Knocking down EGFR inhibited phosphorylation of STAT3 and p65, and expression of RAB31-related proteins. Phosphorylated p65 was bound to the P3 and P7 promoter regions of CD47. EGFR/STAT3 signaling upregulated CD47 expression by phosphorylating p65 and enhanced exosomal CD47 by activated RAB31.

DEPTOR, a common negative regulator of mTORC1 and mTORC2, exhibits complex loop regulatory mechanisms beyond simple mTOR pathway modulation. Depending on the cell type or tissue environment, DEPTOR can act as either an oncogene or a tumor suppressor gene. Given its complex role in tumorigenesis, precise regulation of DEPTOR expression across different tumor types is imperative. DEPTOR has emerged as a key focus in research on human malignant tumors. While recent years have seen through investigations into DEPTOR expression regulation in tumors, a systematic literature review is lacking.

Nevertheless, the resistance that develops against EGFR-TKIs diminishes their therapeutic impact in clinical settings. This investigation focused on the impact of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) on gefitinib resistance in NSCLC. Using the CCK-8 assay, the influence of different gefitinib concentrations on cell proliferation was examined. eIF4E and EGFR expressions were verified by qRT-PCR and/or western blotting in NSCLC cell lines. Moreover, the effects of eIF4E knockdown in gefitinib-treated PC9/GR cells were detected by CCK-8, flow cytometry, colony formation assays, and xenograft tumor model. eIF4E expression was remarkably upregulated in the gefitinib-resistant PC9/GR cells. Moreover, the expression levels of eIF4E in NSCLC cell lines exhibited a dose-dependent increase following gefitinib administration. The function assays demonstrated that reducing eIF4E levels hindered the proliferation of PC9/GR cells and enhanced the apoptosis-inducing effects of gefitinib both in vitro and in vivo, and also had an inhibitory action on the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Taken together, these results suggested that eIF4E confers gefitinib resistance in NSCLC by regulating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Therefore, eIF4E is a possible therapeutic target for improving therapeutic action in NSCLC patients who have developed resistance to gefitinib.</p>","PeriodicalId":19266,"journal":{"name":"Neoplasma","volume":"72 1-2","pages":"118-127"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143983474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We confirmed that HSF1 is highly expressed in CRC and its upregulation is associated with poor prognosis of malignant events in CRC. Functionally, HSF1 can enhance the proliferation, invasion, and migration of CRC cell lines. In vivo experiments have shown that knockdown of HSF1 can inhibit tumor growth. In terms of molecular mechanism, we found that HSF1 can directly bind to the transcription factor binding site of CLDN3 and activate its transcription.

NFIC and SOX1 expression levels in AML and normal samples were analyzed using bioinformatics, ELISA, RT-qPCR, and western blotting, and the interaction between NFIC and SOX1 was assessed through RNA pull-down and RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation assays.

High NFIC levels were associated with poor prognosis in AML patients, and it was found to regulate SOX1 expression in KG-1 and NB4 cells negatively.

The adverse effects of NFIC overexpression were reversed by SOX1 overexpression, highlighting the interplay between these factors in AML.

Roosevelt Banská Bystrica, Slovakia (FNsP FDR BB) in 2019-2024. The aim of this work was to evaluate retrospectively the efficacy and safety of venetoclax in the treatment of patients with CLL. The median age of patients at the time of initiation of venetoclax treatment was 58 years, range 41-79 years. The majority of patients, 27 (63%) were men and 16 (37%) were women. Patients were treated with venetoclax in the first and higher line, in combination with obinutuzumab, with rituximab, and in monotherapy. Of these, 16 (37%) patients were after previous treatment with ibrutinib. Treatment indications and response assessment were based on the 2018 international workshop on the Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (iwCLL) Criteria. Patients were evaluated after at least 2 months of treatment until disease progression. The effect of treatment was assessed by objective examination of the patient, possibly by imaging examination (USG, CT scan) and evaluation of blood parameters. Adverse effects were assessed based on the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0. In case of disease progression, treatment was interrupted. The results of our work confirmed the efficacy and safety of venetoclax in combination with obinutuzumab, and rituximab, even as monotherapy in patients with CLL. The efficacy of the above regimens in our group of patients is comparable to that in clinical studies, even in patients with high-risk genetic features, such as 17p deletion and unmutated IgVH status. Treatment with venetoclax was also effective and well tolerated in patients after previous treatment with ibrutinib. The limitations of our evaluation are the small patient population and the short median follow-up of patients. In line with the conclusions of clinical trials and retrospective analysis from real-life practice, we can say that venetoclax-based treatment regimens are highly effective in patients with CLL in the first and higher line of treatment, with acceptable and well-manageable toxicity.
