ZKSCAN5 activates LAPTM5 expression by recruiting SETD7 to promote metastasis in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
Histol Histopathol. 2023 Nov 22:18678. doi: 10.14670/HH-18-678. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLysosomal-associated transmembrane protein 5 (LAPTM5) has been associated with poor prognosis in cancer patients. Its role in regulating metastasis in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), however, remains vague. The study here aimed to expound the metastasis-promoting properties of LAPTM5 in PDAC and the detailed mechanism. LAPTM5 was overexpressed in metastatic PDAC cells and was related to the dismal prognosis of patients in GEO datasets. By using lentiviral vectors harboring short hairpin RNA, we found that LAPTM5 downregul...

UBE2R2-AS1, as a prognostic marker of gastric cancer, promotes the malignant phenotype of gastric cancer cells
CONCLUSION: The expression of UBE2R2-AS1 allowed the prognostic stratification of gastric cancer patients. UBE2R2-AS1 may accelerate the progression of gastric cancer via miR-302b-5p.PMID:38009743 | DOI:10.14670/HH-18-677 (Source: Histology and Histopathology)

Podocyte involvement in the pathogenesis of preterm-related long-term chronic kidney disease
Histol Histopathol. 2023 Nov 15:18675. doi: 10.14670/HH-18-675. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWith the continuous advancement of neonatal intensive care technology, the survival rate of preterm infants is gradually increasing. However, this improvement in survival is accompanied by long-term prognostic implications in various systems. In the field of renal diseases, current epidemiological data indicate that preterm birth is a significant risk factor for the development of long-term chronic kidney disease (CKD). This not only imposes an economic burden on patients families but also severely impacts their quality of life. U...

The promoting effects of Grin2d expression in tumorigenesis and the aggressiveness of esophageal cancer
In this study, we found that Grin2d expression was higher in esophageal cancer than in normal mucosa at both the mRNA and protein level using RT-PCR, bioinformatics analysis, and western blotting (p<0.05). Grin2d mRNA expression was positively correlated with old age, white race, heavy weight, distal location, adenocarcinoma, cancer with Barrett's lesion, or high-grade columnar dysplasia (p<0.05). The differential genes associated with Grin2d mRNA were involved in fat digestion and absorption, cholesterol metabolism, lipid transfer, lipoproteins, synaptic membranes, and ABC transporters (p<0.05). The Grin2d-relate...
