Cancers, Vol. 16, Pages 1662: The Causes and Consequences of DNA Damage and Chromosomal Instability Induced by Human Papillomavirus
Mehta
Cosper
High-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are the main cause of cervical, oropharyngeal, and anogenital cancers, which are all treated with definitive chemoradiation therapy when locally advanced. HPV proteins are known to exploit the host DNA damage response to enable viral replication and the epithelial differentiation protocol. This has far-reaching consequences for the host genome, as the DNA damage response is critical for the maintenance of genomic stability. HPV+ cells therefore have increased DNA damage, leading to widespread genomic instability, a hallmark of cancer, which can contribute to tumo...

Transforming growth factor-beta signals promote progression of squamous cell carcinoma by inducing epithelial-mesenchymal transition and angiogenesis
In this study, we examined the effects of TGF-β signaling on the murine squamous cell carcinoma, SCCVII cells in vitro and in vivo. The incubation of SCCVII cells with TGF-β induced the activation of TGF-β signals and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Notably, the motility of SCCVII cells was increased upon the activation of the TGF-β signaling. RNA sequencing revealed upregulation of genes related to EMT and angiogenesis. Consistent with these in vitro results, the inhibition of TGF-β signals in SCCVII cell-derived primary tumors resulted in suppressed angiogenesis. Furthermore, we identified six candidate fac...

Single-Cell and Spatial Transcriptome Profiling Identifies the Transcription Factor BHLHE40 as a Driver of EMT in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
Cancer Res. 2024 Apr 24. doi: 10.1158/0008-5472.CAN-23-3264. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTColorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignant tumors in humans, with liver metastasis being the primary cause of mortality. The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process endows cancer cells with enhanced metastatic potential. To elucidate the cellular mechanisms driving EMT in CRC, we analyzed single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) data from 11 non-metastatic primary tumors (TnM) and 11 metastatic primary tumors (TM) from CRC patients. Compared to TnM group, the TM samples showed elevated numbers of malignant epit...

Long-term 4-nonylphenol exposure drives cervical cell malignancy through MAPK-mediated ferroptosis inhibition
J Hazard Mater. 2024 Apr 21;471:134371. doi: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134371. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACT4-NP (4-nonylphenol), a prevalent environmental endocrine disruptor with estrogenic properties, is commonly detected in drinking water and food sources. It poses a significant risk of endocrine disruption, thereby influencing the onset and progression of diverse diseases, including tumorigenesis. However, its specific impact on cervical cancer remains to be fully elucidated. Our study focused on the biological effects of sustained exposure to low-dose 4-NP on human normal cervical epithelial cells (HcerEpic). After a c...

Single-cell analysis revealing the metabolic landscape of prostate cancer
Asian J Androl. 2024 Apr 23. doi: 10.4103/aja20243. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTumor metabolic reprogramming is a hallmark of cancer development, and targeting metabolic vulnerabilities has been proven to be an effective approach for castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) treatment. Nevertheless, treatment failure inevitably occurs, largely due to cellular heterogeneity, which cannot be deciphered by traditional bulk sequencing techniques. By employing computational pipelines for single-cell RNA sequencing, we demonstrated that epithelial cells within the prostate are more metabolically active and plastic than stro...

Assessment of Portuguese fitness centers: bridging the knowledge gap on harmful microbial contamination with focus on fungi
This study intends to characterize microbial contamination in Portuguese FC by passive sampling methods: electrostatic dust collectors (EDC) (N=39), settled dust (N=8), vacuum filters (N=8), and used cleaning mops (N=12). The obtained extracts were plated in selective culture media for fungi and bacteria. Filters, EDC, and mop samples' extracts were also screened for antifungal resistance and used for the molecular detection of the selected Aspergillus sections. The detection of mycotoxins was conducted using a high-performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC) system and to determine the cytotoxicity of microbial contaminants r...
