Noncoding RNAs in hepatitis: Unraveling the apoptotic pathways
Pathol Res Pract. 2024 Jan 28;255:155170. doi: 10.1016/j.prp.2024.155170. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHepatitis is a worldwide health issue that causes inflammation of the liver and is frequently brought on by viral infections, specifically those caused by the hepatitis B and C viruses. Although the pathophysiological causes of hepatitis are complex, recent research indicates that noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) play a crucial role in regulating apoptosis, an essential process for maintaining liver homeostasis and advancing the illness. Noncoding RNAs have been linked to several biological processes, including apoptosis. These R...

Comparative analysis of ARID1A mutations with mRNA levels and protein expression in gastric carcinoma
Pathol Res Pract. 2024 Jan 10;255:155063. doi: 10.1016/j.prp.2023.155063. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe ARID1A gene is pivotal in chromatin remodeling and genomic integrity and is frequently mutated in various cancer types. ARID1A mutation is the second most frequently mutated tumor suppressor gene and has been suggested as a predictor of immunotherapeutic responsiveness in gastric carcinoma (GC). Despite its significance, the relationship among ARID1A somatic mutations, RNA expression levels, and protein expression remains unclear, particularly in GC. For this purpose, we performed comparative study in two cohorts. Co...

Reduced expression of Ankyrin-G and E-cadherin in duodenal mucosal biopsy of subjects with celiac disease
Pathol Res Pract. 2024 Jan 22;255:155164. doi: 10.1016/j.prp.2024.155164. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTConfirmatory diagnosis of celiac disease (CD) include histopathology of duodenal biopsy and tissue trans-glutaminase-IgA. Identification of tissue-specific histological markers is warranted to improve the diagnosis. A genetic study in CD identified the association of ankyrin-G that connects E-cadherin with β2-spectrin in epithelial cells of the duodenal tissue. We attempted to investigate the differential expression of ankyrin-G, E-cadherin and β2-spectrin in duodenal biopsy of CD subjects compared to non-CD controls. ...

Beyond typical histology of BAP1-inactivated melanocytoma
Pathol Res Pract. 2024 Jan 24:155162. doi: 10.1016/j.prp.2024.155162. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBAP1-inactivated melanocytoma (BIM) is a novel subgroup of melanocytic neoplasm listed in the 5th edition of WHO classification of skin tumor. BIM is characterized by two molecular alterations, including a mitogenic driver mutation (usually BRAF gene) and the loss of function of BAP1, a tumor suppressor gene located on chromosome 3p21, which encodes for BRCA1-associated protein (BAP1). The latter represents a nuclear-localized deubiquitinase involved in several cellular processes including cell cycle regulation, chromatin re...

Overcoming chemoresistance and radio resistance in prostate cancer: The emergent role of non-coding RNAs
Pathol Res Pract. 2024 Feb 1;255:155179. doi: 10.1016/j.prp.2024.155179. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTProstate cancer (PCa) continues to be a major health concern worldwide, with its resistance to chemotherapy and radiation therapy presenting major hurdles in successful treatment. While patients with localized prostate cancer generally have a good survival rate, those with metastatic prostate cancer often face a grim prognosis, even with aggressive treatments using various methods. The high mortality rate in severe cases is largely due to the lack of treatment options that can offer lasting results, especially considering...

Pathol Res Pract. 2024 Feb;254:155119. doi: 10.1016/j.prp.2024.155119. Epub 2024 Jan 11.ABSTRACTAccording to estimates, cancer will be the leading cause of death globally in 2022, accounting for 9.6 million deaths. At present, the three main therapeutic modalities utilized to treat cancer are radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and surgery. However, during treatment, tumor cells resistant to chemotherapy may arise. Drug resistance remains a major oppose since it often leads to therapeutic failure. Furthermore, the term "acquired drug resistance" describes the situation where tumor cells already display drug resistance before ...
