Open AccessOverexpression of suppressor of zest 12 is associated with cervical node metastasis and unfavorable prognosis in tongue squamous cell carcinoma
Increased expression of suppressor of zest 12 (SUZ12), a core component of the polycomb repressive complex 2, contributes to human tumorigenesis and associates with patient prognosis. In the present study, we ...

Estrogen receptor β promotes renal cell carcinoma progression via regulating LncRNA HOTAIR-miR-138/200c/204/217 associated CeRNA network
Recent studies indicated that the estrogen receptor beta (ERβ) could affect the progression of prostate and bladder tumors, however, its roles in the renal cell carcinoma (RCC), remain to be elucidated. Here, ...

Open AccessYAP promotes multi-drug resistance and inhibits autophagy-related cell death in hepatocellular carcinoma via the RAC1-ROS-mTOR pathway
Multi-drug resistance is the major cause of chemotherapy failure in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). YAP, a critical effector of the Hippo pathway, has been shown to contribute to the progression, metastasis an...

Open AccessExpression and function of cartilage-derived pluripotent cells in joint development and repair
Cartilage-derived pluripotent cells reside in hyaline cartilage and fibrocartilage. These cells have the potential for multidirectional differentiation; can undergo adipogenesis, osteogenesis, and chondrogenes...

One-step genome editing of porcine zygotes through the electroporation of a CRISPR/Cas9 system with two guide RNAs
In the present study, we investigated whether electroporation could be used for one-step multiplex CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing, targeting IL2RG and GHR in porcine embryos. First, we evaluated and selected gu...

Open AccessPreclinical studies using cisplatin/carboplatin to restore the Enzalutamide sensitivity via degrading the androgen receptor splicing variant 7 (ARv7) to further suppress Enzalutamide resistant prostate cancer
The FDA-approved anti-androgen Enzalutamide (Enz) has been used successfully as the last line therapy to extend castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) patients’ survival by an extra 4.8 months. However, C...

Stress-induced phosphoprotein 1 facilitates breast cancer cell progression and indicates poor prognosis for breast cancer patients
Breast cancer (BC) threatened the life health of a tremendous amount of the population, and the estimated number of death is still rising nowadays. We found that stress-induced phosphoprotein 1 (STIP1) is over...

Open AccessCircular RNA circPOSTN promotes neovascularization by regulating miR-219a-2-3p/STC1 axis and stimulating the secretion of VEGFA in glioblastoma
Glioblastoma (GBM), the most malignant type of astrocytic tumor, is one of the deadliest cancers prevalent in adults. Along with tumor growth, patients with GBM generally suffer from extensive cerebral edema a...

Open AccessHedgehog signaling in tissue homeostasis, cancers, and targeted therapies
The past decade has seen significant advances in our understanding of Hedgehog (HH) signaling pathway in various biological events. HH signaling pathway exerts its biological effects through a complex signalin...

Open AccessWDR4 promotes the progression and lymphatic metastasis of bladder cancer via transcriptional down-regulation of ARRB2
Lymph node (LN) metastasis is one of the key prognostic factors in bladder cancer, but its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we found that elevated expression of WD repeat domain 4 (WDR4) in bladder ...

Programmed cell death-1-modified pig developed using electroporation-mediated gene editing for in vitro fertilized zygotes
Programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) is an immunoinhibitory receptor required to suppress inappropriate immune responses such as autoimmunity. Immune checkpoint antibodies that augment the PD-1 pathway lead to immun...

Evaluation of culture methods and chemical reagent combinations on CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing systems by lipofection in pig zygotes
The delivery of CRISPR/Cas ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes is gaining attention owing to its high cleavage efficiency and reduced off-target effects. Although RNPs can be delivered into porcine zygotes via e...

Open AccessThe OGT–c-Myc–PDK2 axis rewires the TCA cycle and promotes colorectal tumor growth
Deregulated glucose metabolism termed the “Warburg effect” is a fundamental feature of cancers, including the colorectal cancer. This is typically characterized with an increased rate of glycolysis, and a conc...

Open AccessGLUT1 promotes cell proliferation via binds and stabilizes phosphorylated EGFR in lung adenocarcinoma
While previous studies have primarily focused on Glucose transporter type 1 (GLUT1) related glucose metabolism signaling, we aim to discover if GLUT1 promotes tumor progression through a non-metabolic pathway.

Effects of centrifugation treatment before electroporation on gene editing in pig embryos
Genetic mosaicism, characterized by multiple genotypes within an individual, is considered an obstacle to CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing in animal models. Despite the various strategies for minimizing mosaic mutat...
