Modulation of ferroptosis by non ‑coding RNAs in cancers: Potential biomarkers for cancer diagnose and therapy
Pathol Res Pract. 2023 Dec 22;253:155042. doi: 10.1016/j.prp.2023.155042. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFerroptosis is a recently discovered cell programmed death. Extensive researches have indicated that ferroptosis plays an essential role in tumorigenesis, development, migration and chemotherapy drugs resistance, which makes it become a new target for tumor therapy. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are considered to control a wide range of cellular processes by modulating gene expression. Recent studies have indicated that ncRNAs regulate the process of ferroptosis via various pathway to affect the development of cancer. However...

miRNAs as modulators of neuroinflammation and excitotoxicity: Implications for stroke therapeutics
Pathol Res Pract. 2024 Jan 5;253:155093. doi: 10.1016/j.prp.2024.155093. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTStroke is a widespread neurological disorder associated with physical disabilities, mortality, and economic burden. In recent decades, substantial progress has been achieved in reducing the impact of this public health problem. However, further understanding of the pathophysiology of stroke and the underlying genetic pathways is required. The pathological mechanisms of stroke comprise multifaceted molecular cascades regulated by various microRNAs (miRNAs). An increasing number of studies have highlighted the role of miRNA...

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma with syncytial giant cells: Not that rare
In this study, the clinical and pathological data of 16 ccRCC cases with SGCs were retrospectively reviewed. The incidence of SGCs in pathological stages pT3 and above (12.1%, 8/66) was significantly higher than that in pT1 and pT2 (2.6%, 8/306) (P = 0.002). The incidence of SGCs in the WHO/ISUP nuclear grade 3 or 4 ccRCC (12.4%, 14/113) was significantly higher than that in grade 1 or 2 (0.8%, 2/259) (P < 0.001). Two forms of SGCs were observed, some exhibited nuclear pyknosis and degeneration. Of the 16 cases, eight cases were accompanied by necrosis and seven cases had lymphovascular invasion. Both SGCs and mononucle...

Unraveling the impact of melatonin treatment: Oxidative stress, metabolic responses, and morphological changes in HuH7.5 hepatocellular carcinoma cells
Pathol Res Pract. 2023 Dec 21;253:155056. doi: 10.1016/j.prp.2023.155056. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn addition to its highly aggressive nature and late diagnosis, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) does not respond effectively to available chemotherapeutic agents. The search is on for an ideal and effective compound with low cost and minimal side effects that can be used as an adjunct to chemotherapeutic regimens. One of the mechanisms involved in the pathology of HCC is the oxidative stress, which plays a critical role in tumor survival and dissemination. Our group has already demonstrated the antitumor potential of mela...

Immunohistochemical expression of cytochrome P4A11 (CYP4A11), carbonic anhydrase 9 (CAIX) and Ki67 in renal cell carcinoma; diagnostic relevance and relations to clinicopathological parameters
CONCLUSIONS: CYP4A11 and CAIX can be used as diagnostic markers to differentiate clear cell RCC from other subtypes. CYP4A11 is more diagnostically accurate and specific than CAIX. High expression of CYP4A11, low CAIX expression and high ki67 labeling index were related to features of aggressive tumor behavior.PMID:38183818 | DOI:10.1016/j.prp.2023.155070 (Source: Pathology, Research and Practice)

The emerging role of miRNAs in myocardial infarction: From molecular signatures to therapeutic targets
Pathol Res Pract. 2024 Jan 3;253:155087. doi: 10.1016/j.prp.2023.155087. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGlobally, myocardial infarction (MI) and other cardiovascular illnesses have long been considered the top killers. Heart failure and mortality are the results of myocardial apoptosis, cardiomyocyte fibrosis, and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, all of which are caused by MI. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a crucial regulatory function in the progression and advancement of heart disease following an MI. By consolidating the existing data on miRNAs, our aim is to gain a more comprehensive understanding of their role in the pathological ...

Unveiling the regulatory role of miRNAs in stroke pathophysiology and diagnosis
Pathol Res Pract. 2024 Jan 3;253:155085. doi: 10.1016/j.prp.2023.155085. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTStroke, a major global cause of mortality, leads to a range of problems for those who survive. Besides its brutal events, stroke also tends to have a characteristic of recurrence, making it a complex disease involving intricate regulatory networks. One of the major cellular regulators is the non-coding RNAs (ncRNA), specifically microRNAs (miRNAs), thus the possible functions of miRNAs in the pathogenesis of stroke are discussed as well as the possibility of using miRNA-based therapeutic approaches. Firstly, the molecular...

Aggressive renal cell carcinoma with biphasic papillary and solid clear cell features harboring IDH2 (R172M) mutation
Pathol Res Pract. 2024 Jan 3;253:155090. doi: 10.1016/j.prp.2024.155090. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRenal cell carcinoma (RCC) is fundamentally a metabolic disease, and RCC associated with mutation of the Krebs cycle enzyme genes include fumarate hydratase-deficient and succinate dehydrogenase-deficient RCC. Most recently, the mutation of isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2) has been suggested as the third Krebs cycle enzyme alteration to be associated with oncometabolite-induced RCC tumorigenesis. Herein, we report the second case of RCC harboring an IDH2 (R127M) mutation identified by targeted next-generation sequencing ...

Testicular/paratesticular mesothelial tumours: Uncommon histopathologic entities in a very complex anatomical site
Pathol Res Pract. 2023 Dec 30;253:155069. doi: 10.1016/j.prp.2023.155069. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMesothelial tumours of the testicular/paratesticular region are uncommon, poorly characterised and difficult-to-diagnose lesions. They encompass entirely benign proliferations (adenomatoid tumour) and malignant, very aggressive tumours (mesothelioma) whose morphological features can be overlapping, highly variable and confounding. Moreover, testicular/paratesticular mesothelial tumours comprise relatively new entities with indolent behaviour (well-differentiated papillary mesothelial tumour) as well as tumours which cann...
