Open AccessECD promotes gastric cancer metastasis by blocking E3 ligase ZFP91-mediated hnRNP F ubiquitination and degradation
The human ortholog of the Drosophila ecdysoneless gene (ECD) is required for embryonic development and cell-cycle progression; however, its role in cancer progression and metastasis remains unclear. Here, we foun...

Article
Open AccessThe extent of liver injury determines hepatocyte fate toward senescence or cancer
It is well known that induction of hepatocyte senescence could inhibit the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Until now, it is still unclear how the degree of liver injury dictates hepatocyte senes...

Open AccessMolecular characterization and integrative genomic analysis of a panel of newly established penile cancer cell lines
Cell line models are essential tools to study the molecular mechanisms underlying tumor initiation and progression. There are limited treatment options for penile squamous cell carcinoma (PSCC), accounting for...

Open AccessPIK3CA mutations confer resistance to first-line chemotherapy in colorectal cancer
Chemotherapy represents an important treatment option for colorectal cancer (CRC), but only half of the patients benefit from these regimens. We explored the potential predicting value and mechanism of PIK3CA ...

Open AccessEctopic hTERT expression facilitates reprograming of fibroblasts derived from patients with Werner syndrome as a WS cellular model
The induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology has provided a unique opportunity to develop disease-specific models and personalized treatment for genetic disorders, and is well suitable for the study of ...

Open AccessThe MYB/miR-130a/NDRG2 axis modulates tumor proliferation and metastatic potential in salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma
Increasing evidence has emerged to suggest that N-myc downstream-regulated gene 2 (NDRG2) dysregulation participates in a number of tumor biological processes. However, the role of NDRG2 and miRNA-mediated NDR...

Open AccessLong noncoding RNA ATB promotes the epithelial−mesenchymal transition by upregulating the miR-200c/Twist1 axe and predicts poor prognosis in breast cancer
Recent studies indicate that the long noncoding RNA ATB (lncATB) can induce the epithelial−mesenchymal transition (EMT) in cancer cells, but the specific cellular targets of lncATB require further investigatio...

Open AccessThe methionine salvage pathway-involving ADI1 inhibits hepatoma growth by epigenetically altering genes expression via elevating S-adenosylmethionine
The 5′-methylthioadenosine (MTA) cycle-participating human acireductone dioxygenase 1 (ADI1) has been implicated as a tumor suppressor in prostate cancer, yet its role remains unclear in hepatocellular carcino...

Open AccessAkt inhibitor SC66 promotes cell sensitivity to cisplatin in chemoresistant ovarian cancer cells through inhibition of COL11A1 expression
We studied Akt inhibition using SC66 in a NOD-SCID xenograft mouse model and a panel of eight ovarian cancer cell lines. Elevated phospho-Akt levels in cancerous tissue were associated with short progression-f...

Open AccessOverexpression of zinc finger protein 384 (ZNF 384), a poor prognostic predictor, promotes cell growth by upregulating the expression of Cyclin D1 in Hepatocellular carcinoma
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly heterogeneous, multigene-driven malignant tumor. ZNF384 is an overexpressed gene with a high frequency of alteration in HCC, but research on the function of ZNF384 in...
