siRNA Suppression of NEDD9 Inhibits Proliferation and Enhances Apoptosis in Renal Cell Carcinoma.
In this study, we demonstrate for the first time that NEDD9 was upregulated in RCC tissue and cell lines. Immunohistochemical analysis and quantitative RT-PCR analysis showed low expression of NEDD9 in normal renal tissues and high expression in RCC tissues. In addition, in vitro experiments show that expression of NEDD9 was upregulated in RCC cell lines. Through MTT assay, we observed that NEDD9 knockdown inhibited cell proliferation. Furthermore, flow cytometry analysis showed that NEDD9 downregulation induced apoptosis. Together, our data suggest that abnormal NEDD9 protein expression may be a marker for RCC, and NEDD9 ...

Overexpression of Glutathione S-transferase P1 Inhibits the Viability and Motility of Prostate Cancer via Targeting MYC and Inactivating the MEK/ERK1/2 Pathways.
Authors: Wang XX, Jia HT, Yang H, Luo MH, Sun T Abstract Prostate cancer (PC) is one of the most common malignancies of men. Glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1) has been suggested to play a protective role in the prostate. The proto-oncogene MYC has been extensively proved to be a key regulator of tumor transformation from early stage to malignant. Our study aims to investigate the mechanism of GSTP1 in the biological behavior of PC. Compared with normal prostate tissues, the expression of GSTP1 was decreased in PC tissues. Conversely, the level of MYC was increased in PC tissues compared with normal tissues. MYC ...

Epigenetic silence of HOTAIR contributes to the metastasis of pancreatic cancer via targeting miR-138.
Authors: Nie H, Zhang Y, Xing R, Li M, Mou Y Abstract Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the most common malignant tumors in digestive tract. The expression of HOX transcriptantisense RNA (HOTAIR) is positively correlated with TNM staging of PC. Our study aims to investigate the effect and the related mechanism of HOTAIR on the invasion and migration ability of PC cells. We found that the expression of HOTAIR was significantly increased in PC tissues and four PC cell lines (PANC-1, SW1990, CAPAN-1 aand JF305) compared with normal tissues and human pancreatic HPDE6-c7 cells. HOTAIR was then silenced by transfecting si...

UCA1 Regulates the Growth and Metastasis of Pancreatic Cancer By Sponging MiR-135a.
This study is aimed to investigate the role of urothelial carcinoma associated 1(UCA1) in the progression of PC. Our results revealed that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs)-UCA1 was overexpressed in PC tissues compared with adjacent histologically normal tissues. Down-regulated level of UCA1 was also detected in five human pancreatic cancer cell lines (SW1990，BxPC-3, MiaPaCa-2, PANC-1, CAPAN-1) compared with normal pancreatic duct epithelial HPDE cells. The proliferation of PC cells was inhibited after UCA1 was suppressed by a lentiviral vector. Cell apoptosis rate was largely promoted by down-regulating UCA1. Further resea...

Silencing of NADPH oxidase 4 attenuates hypoxia resistance in neuroblastoma cells SHSY-5Y by inhibiting PI3K/Akt-dependent glycolysis.
Authors: Yu T, Li L, Liu W, Ya B, Cheng H, Xin Q Abstract Hypoxia-induced chemoresistance is a major obstacle in the development of effective cancer therapy. In our study, the reversal abilities of NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4) silence on the hypoxia resistance and the potential mechanism were investigated. Our data showed that the expression of NOX4 was up-regulated in human neuroblastoma cells SHSY-5Y under hypoxia condition time-dependently. Knockdown of NOX4 expression by siRNA inhibited glycolysis induced by hypoxia through decreasing the expression of glycolysis related proteins (HIF-1α, LDHA, PDK1), decreasing glu...

Zinc Finger X-Chromosomal Protein (ZFX) Promotes Solid Agar Colony Growth of Osteosarcoma Cells.
Abstract Zinc finger X-chromosomal protein (ZFX) is a member of the zinc finger family of proteins. The importance of ZFX in several cancer types, including prostate cancer, laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma, and glioma, has been addressed. However, the role of ZFX in human osteosarcoma remains unknown. Here we investigated the phenotype of ZFX knockdown on cell proliferation and in vitro tumorigenesis using lentivirus-mediated loss-of-function strategy. The results demonstrated that the proliferation and colony formation ability of human osteosarcoma Saos-2 and MG63 cells was impaired by ZFX small interfering RNA...
