[Corrigendum] miR ‑27a promotes proliferation, migration, and invasion of colorectal cancer by targeting FAM172A and acts as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker
Oncol Rep. 2024 Jun;51(6):83. doi: 10.3892/or.2024.8742. Epub 2024 Apr 26.ABSTRACTFollowing the publication of this article, an interested reader drew to the authors' attention that the western blots in Fig. 4B on p. 3560 and Fig. 6B on p. 3562 shared remarkably similar data (including both the GAPDH and the FAM172A blots in Fig. 4B), such that these data were likely to have been derived from the same original source. Upon asking the authors to provide an explanation, the authors realized that these errors inadvertently arose during the process of assembling these figures. Due to a mislabelling of the files, representative...

Involvement of lncRNAs in the regulation of aerobic glycolysis in hepatocellular carcinoma: Main functions, regulatory mechanisms and potential therapeutic implications (Review)
Oncol Rep. 2024 Jun;51(6):84. doi: 10.3892/or.2024.8743. Epub 2024 Apr 26.ABSTRACTEven under aerobic conditions, tumor cells can reprogram their metabolism to preferentially metabolize glucose into lactic acid. This abnormal metabolic pattern, known as the 'Warburg' effect or aerobic glycolysis, promotes cancer progression. Long non‑coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are RNAs that are >200 nucleotides in length and do not have protein‑coding capabilities. However, these RNAs play a key role in tumor development. There is increasing evidence to indicate that lncRNAs regulate glucose metabolism in tumor cells by affecting metaboli...

Overexpression of ZNF169 promotes the growth and proliferation of colorectal cancer cells via the upregulation of ANKZF1
Oncol Rep. 2024 Jun;51(6):82. doi: 10.3892/or.2024.8741. Epub 2024 Apr 26.ABSTRACTColorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide. The 5‑year survival rate of patients diagnosed with the early stages of the disease is markedly higher than that of patients in the advanced stages. Therefore, identifying novel biomarkers and drug targets for CRC is critical for clinical practice. Zinc finger protein 169 (ZNF169) is a crucial transcription factor, and its role in CRC remains to be explored. The present study aimed to investigate the clinical relevance, function and underlying mechanisms of ZNF169 in ...

Developing innovative strategies of tumor ‑infiltrating lymphocyte therapy for tumor treatment
Oncol Rep. 2024 Jun;51(6):85. doi: 10.3892/or.2024.8744. Epub 2024 Apr 26.ABSTRACTCancer is the main cause of global mortality, and thus far, effective therapeutic strategies for cancer treatment are in high demand. Adoptive transfer of tumor‑infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) represents a promising avenue in immunotherapy for the management of malignancies. The clinical safety and efficacy of TIL‑based therapy have been established through numerous rigorous clinical trials. However, the efficacy of TIL infusion in inducing an anti‑tumor response is limited to a subset of clinical patients with cancer. Therefore, there ...

Important role and underlying mechanism of non ‑SMC condensin I complex subunit G in tumours (Review)
Oncol Rep. 2024 Jun;51(6):77. doi: 10.3892/or.2024.8736. Epub 2024 Apr 19.ABSTRACTAt present, the incidence of tumours is increasing on a yearly basis, and tumourigenesis is usually associated with chromosomal instability and cell cycle dysregulation. Moreover, abnormalities in the chromosomal structure often lead to DNA damage, further exacerbating gene mutations and chromosomal rearrangements. However, the non‑SMC condensin I complex subunit G (NCAPG) of the structural maintenance of chromosomes family is known to exert a key role in tumour development. It has been shown that high expression of NCAPG is closely associa...

Cetuximab chemotherapy resistance: Insight into the homeostatic evolution of head and neck cancer (Review)
Oncol Rep. 2024 Jun;51(6):80. doi: 10.3892/or.2024.8739. Epub 2024 Apr 19.ABSTRACTThe complex evolution of genetic alterations in cancer that occurs in vivo is a selective process involving numerous factors and mechanisms. Chemotherapeutic agents that prevent the growth and spread of cancer cells induce selective pressure, leading to rapid artificial selection of resistant subclones. This rapid evolution is possible because antineoplastic drugs promote alterations in tumor‑cell metabolism, thus creating a bottleneck event. The few resistant cells that survive in this new environment obtain differential reproductive succe...

Epub 2024 Apr 19.ABSTRACTHead and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a highly aggressive, heterogeneous tumour usually caused by alcohol and tobacco consumption, making it one of the most common malignancies worldwide. Despite the fact that various therapeutic approaches such as surgery, radiation therapy (RT), chemotherapy (CT) and targeted therapy have been widely used for HNSCC in recent years, its recurrence rate and mortality rate remain high. RT is the standard treatment choice for HNSCC, which induces reactive oxygen species production and causes oxidativ...
