Beyond the genome: MALAT1's role in advancing urologic cancer care
Pathol Res Pract. 2024 Feb 28;256:155226. doi: 10.1016/j.prp.2024.155226. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTUrologic cancers (UCs), which include bladder, kidney, and prostate tumors, account for almost a quarter of all malignancies. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are tissue-specific RNAs that influence cell growth, death, and division. LncRNAs are dysregulated in UCs, and their abnormal expression may allow them to be used in cancer detection, outlook, and therapy. With the identification of several novel lncRNAs and significant exploration of their functions in various illnesses, particularly cancer, the study of lncRNAs has...

Prediction of the binding location between the nuclear inhibitor of DNA binding and differentiation 2 (ID2) and HSPA5
Pathol Res Pract. 2024 Feb 17;255:155217. doi: 10.1016/j.prp.2024.155217. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGlucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78), also termed HSPA5, was widely studied in cancer. It was recently approved that GRP78 has nuclear localization potential that sheds light on its role in cancer development. The inhibitor of DNA binding and differentiation 2 (ID2) is the nuclear component that associates with GRP78. The interaction between these two proteins is not understood clearly. In the current study, the binding pattern of GRP78/ID2 is predicted using computational methods. Protein-protein docking is used along w...

Donors risk assessment in transplantation: From the guidelines to their real-world application
Pathol Res Pract. 2024 Feb 12;255:155210. doi: 10.1016/j.prp.2024.155210. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTransplantation of an organ from a donor carries an unavoidable risk of tumor transmission. The need to extend the donor pool increases the use of organs from donors with malignancies and potential disease transmission is a constant tension influencing donor suitability decisions. Current classification systems for the assessment of donor malignancy transmission risk have evolved from reports of potential transmission events in recipients to national donation and transplant surveillance agencies. Although the risk of mal...
