This study investigated the molecular modifications that occur in the cellular microenvironment during inflammation-induced and colitis-associated cancers. Studies showed that genetic mutations and post-translational modifications of oncogene proteins can alter the biological functions of macrophage inflammatory proteins, complicating the intricate interactions between inflammation and cancer. The researchers also observed abnormal glycosylation patterns in cases of inflammation and colitis-associated cancers. This observation suggests that glycoproteins present in bodily fluids could potentially serve as valuable disease markers. Additionally, the researchers investigated general signaling alterations that manifest in cases of colitis-associated cancer. They proposed a provisional molecular model that suggests the involvement of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress during the transition from inflammation to cancer. This potential pathway is mediated through the FKBP/c-Myc/p53 signaling axis. In the context of protein glycosylation, we summarize the potential molecular mechanisms of IBD-induced carcinogenesis.

As a leading cause of mortality and long-term disability worldwide, strokes present a growing socioeconomic challenge, exacerbated by demographic shifts and an increasing incidence in younger populations. Analyzing post-stroke conditions is essential for predicting recovery trajectories and guiding personalized treatments. The process is crucial for mitigating long-term cognitive deficits and improving the quality of life for stroke survivors and their families. Epigenetic mechanisms are emerging as key influencers, with four significant modulators—miRNAs, lncRNAs, DNA methylation, and histone modifications—being identified as central to modulating neuronal repair and regeneration. However, this is a lack of knowledge as to how major epigenetic signatures affect post-stroke recovery. The paper systematically reviews the capacity of miRNAs to fine-tune neuroprotective responses and the broader regulatory functions of lncRNAs. Additionally, we examine how shifts in DNA methylation patterns and histone modifications correlate with stroke outcomes, presenting a case for precise epigenetic therapies. In this review, we highlight that these modulators offer promising therapeutic targets for enhancing recovery and provide novel insights into stroke pathology and treatment. We also offer a comparative analysis of the four modulators and present the challenges and future perspectives for each one. The review sets forth a trajectory for future research, underscoring the development of novel epigenetic-based therapeutics as a groundbreaking approach to enhance post-stroke neurorehabilitation and improve patient prognoses.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72080,"journal":{"name":"Advances in biomarker sciences and technology","volume":"6 ","pages":"Pages 120-137"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2543106424000115/pdfft?md5=148aa923fa3b4759b5c61bc6be5aeced&pid=1-s2.0-S2543106424000115-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141605452","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fifty male albino rats were randomly assigned to five groups: control, induced arthritis, induced arthritis treated with black seed oil, induced arthritis treated with hydroxychloroquine, and induced arthritis treated with a combination of black seed oil and hydroxychloroquine. Arthritis was induced in the rats using single dose of 0.1 ml of Complete Freunds Adjuvant.

Additionally, there was an upregulation of IL-12, IFNγ, and STAT3 genes, and a downregulation of IL-4 gene compared to the normal control group.
