32PDelineating the mechanisms of alpha 1-3 fucosyltransferase FUT11 in ovarian cancer
ConclusionsFUT11 promotes invasion and migration of ovarian cancer through regulation of the TGF- β 1-induced EMT process. FUT11 affects the response to TGF-β 1 by regulation of the expression level of R-Smads and Co-Smad, as well as their translocation from cytoplasm to nucleus.Legal entity responsible for the studyBeijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Capital Medical University.FundingThe National Natural Science Foundation of China (81502353& 81672838), Beijing Municipal Science& Technology Commission (No. Z181100001718193), and Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Capital Medical University (FCYY...

An Oncogenic Role for Four-Jointed Box 1 (FJX1) in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma.
Authors: Chai SJ, Ahmad Zabidi MM, Gan SP, Rajadurai P, Lim PVH, Ng CC, Yap LF, Teo SH, Lim KP, Patel V, Cheong SC Abstract Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a highly metastatic cancer prevalent in Southern China and Southeast Asia. The current knowledge on the molecular pathogenesis of NPC is still inadequate to improve disease management. Using gene expression microarrays, we have identified the four-jointed box 1 (FJX1) gene to be upregulated in primary NPC tissues relative to nonmalignant tissues. An orthologue of human FJX1, the four-jointed (fj) gene in Drosophila and Fjx1 in mouse, has reported to be associa...

FKN Facilitates HK-2 Cell EMT and Tubulointerstitial Lesions via the Wnt/ β-Catenin Pathway in a Murine Model of Lupus Nephritis
In this study, we therefore examined whether FKN could stimulate the process of EMT, NF-kB, TGFβ, CCL22, F4/80, inflammation, and tubulointerstitial fibrosis in a murine model of LN. We also determined whether FKN was involved in the EMT process of Wnt/β-catenin-expressing HK-2 cells. Mechanistically, we ascertained, for the first time, whether FKN up-regulated EMT-related gene signatures (e.g., vimentin, α-SMA), and hence, renal tubulointerstitial fibrogenesis, and the role of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in this process. Materials and Methods Cell Culture, Stable Infection, and Gr...

An Ensemble Strategy to Predict Prognosis in Ovarian Cancer Based on Gene Modules
Conclusion Considering the heterogeneity and complexity of ovarian cancer, we demonstrated a new method to predict the prognosis of ovarian cancer based on the clustering information and gene co-expression network in each subtype of cancer patients. We divided the ovarian cancer data into three subtypes by clustering analysis and we found that the survival risks in these three subtypes were significantly different. We mined the important communities based on the co-expression networks in each subtype. There are 50, 73, and 92 communities in the first, second and third subtype, respectively. Next, we constructed a new ense...

Ribosome biogenesis is tightly coordinated and controlled from the transcription of pre-rRNAs to the assembly of ribosomes. Defects or disorders in rRNA production result in a number of human ri...

Apoptotic cell death induced by Z-Ligustilidein human ovarian cancer cells and role of NRF2.
Abstract Z-Ligustilide is the most potent bioactive component of Angelica sinensis, which is widely used in Chinese traditional medicine. Z-Ligustilide selectively affected ovarian cancer cell survival in a dose dependent manner. Z-Ligustilide induced apoptotic cell death was determined by flow cytometry. We also demonstrated that apoptotic cell death was triggered by Z-Ligustilideinduced oxidative stress and mitochondria played an active role. Mitochondrial polarization was reduced by Z-Ligustilidewhereas mitochondrial superoxide formation was increased. NRF2 was induced by Z-Ligustilide in OVCAR-3 cells at epi...

Downregulation of Annexin A11 (ANXA11) Inhibits Cell Proliferation, Invasion, and Migration via the AKT/GSK-3 β Pathway in Gastric Cancer.
CONCLUSIONS ANXA11 plays a critical role in regulating GC proliferation, migration, and invasion via the AKT/GSK-3β pathway, and can potentially be used as a prognostic factor and therapeutic target for gastric cancer patients. PMID: 29306955 [PubMed - in process]
