Impact of histone demethylase KDM3A-dependent AP-1 transactivity on hepatotumorigenesis induced by PI3K activation
Epigenetic gene regulation linked to oncogenic pathways is an important focus of cancer research. KDM3A, a histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) demethylase, is known to have a pro-tumorigenic function. Here, we showed t...

Open AccessOverexpression of SMYD2 contributes to malignant outcome in gastric cancer
SET and MYND domain-containing protein 2 (SMYD2) is a lysine methyltransferase for histone H3, p53 and Rb and inhibits their transactivation activities. In this study, we tested whether SMYD2 (1q42) acts as a can...

Open AccessPlasma microRNA profiles: identification of miR-25 as a novel diagnostic and monitoring biomarker in oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma
Recent studies have demonstrated that microRNAs are stably detectable in plasma/serum because of their binding to specific proteins or being packaged in secretory particles. This study was designed to detect n...

How to Catch Smoothing Properties and Analyticity of Functions by Computers?
We would like to propose a new method in view to catch smoothing properties and analyticity of functions by computers. Of course, in the strict sense, such goal is impossible. However, we would like to propose...
