TEX19 promotes ovarian carcinoma progression and is a potential target for epitope vaccine immunotherapy
This study aimed to reveal the role of TEX19 in ovarian cancer (OC) and searched for potential candidate epitope peptides of TEX19 to facilitate clinical application.Main methodsTEX19 levels were evaluated by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in 98 human ovarian tissue samples. The correlation of TEX19 levels with patients' clinicopathological features was assessed. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blotting analysis were utilized to detect TEX19 levels in ovarian cell lines and TEX19-deficient cells. The level of TEX19 in OVCAR-3 and A2780 was knocked down by small interfering RNA (siRNA), an...

Role of PGRMC1 in cell physiology of cervical cancer
In this study, we performed 2D-DIGE and MALDI-TOF/TOF MS to analyze differentially expressed proteins between HeLa and invasive HeLa-I5 cells..Key findingsAccording to our proteomics data, 68 differentially expressed proteins between the HeLa and HeLa-I5 cells were identified. One of these differentially expressed proteins, Progesterone receptor membrane component 1 (PGRMC1), was selected as a candidate for further studies. To correlate the role of PGRMC1 with cellular migration and cancer progression, small interfering RNA (siRNA) was used to knockdown the expression of PGRMC1. Similar function of PGRMC1 was also observed...
