LncRNA LINC00525 suppresses p21 expression via mRNA decay and triplex-mediated changes in chromatin structure in lung adenocarcinoma

LncRNA LINC00525 suppresses p21 expression via mRNA decay and triplex-mediated changes in chromatin structure in lung adenocarcinoma

We reported the dual function of LINC00525 in fine-tuning p21 production at both the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. We suggest that LINC00525 may represent a potential therapeutic target for clinical intervention in lung adenocarcinoma.

Meiotic nuclear divisions 1 (MND1) fuels cell cycle progression by activating a KLF6/E2F1 positive feedback loop in lung adenocarcinoma

Meiotic nuclear divisions 1 (MND1) fuels cell cycle progression by activating a KLF6/E2F1 positive feedback loop in lung adenocarcinoma

In this study, a novel cell cycle regulator named meiotic nuclear divisions 1 (MND1) was firstly screened out as a potential oncogene in LUAD using different bioinformatic and statistical analyses. In mechanism, MND1 could directly bind to tumor suppressor kruppel-like factor 6 (KLF6) to protect E2F1 from the transcriptional repression of KLF6. Interestingly, in return, E2F1 could activate MND1 transcription by binding to a specific site in the promoter region of MND1.

Involvement of long non-coding RNAs in the progression of esophageal cancer

Involvement of long non-coding RNAs in the progression of esophageal cancer

LncRNAs play complex and diverse roles in EC by mediating proliferation, cell cycle, apoptosis, invasion, migration, EMT, drug resistance, etc., and are closely related to EC clinicopathology and prognosis.

Safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of BAT8001 in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer: An open-label, dose-escalation, phase I study

Safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of BAT8001 in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer: An open-label, dose-escalation, phase I study

BAT8001 demonstrated favorable safety and tolerability profiles, with promising anti-tumour activity in patients with HER2-positive advanced or recurrent solid tumours. BAT8001 has the potential to provide a new therapeutic option in heavily pretreated patients with metastatic Her2-positive breast cancer.

CRISPR/Cas9 screening identifies a kinetochore-microtubule dependent mechanism for Aurora-A inhibitor resistance in breast cancer

CRISPR/Cas9 screening identifies a kinetochore-microtubule dependent mechanism for Aurora-A inhibitor resistance in breast cancer

These findings provide a potential combinational drug target for promoting the therapeutic effects of MLN8237 and reveal a relationship between centromere-related functions and the sensitivity of Aurora-A inhibitor.

Activity and bioavailability of tepotinib for leptomeningeal metastasis of NSCLC with MET exon 14 skipping mutation

Activity and bioavailability of tepotinib for leptomeningeal metastasis of NSCLC with MET exon 14 skipping mutation

Tepotinib have high retention in the tumor and sustained inhibition of MET and its downstream pathways. Tepotinib is a key drug for cancer patients with MET exon 14 skipping mutation. However, its bioavailability in the CSF in humans has not been elucidated. The blood brain barrier protects the CNS from toxicity, but also prevents therapeutic drugs from accessing the brain. We report a case of leptomeningeal metastasis successfully treated with tepotinib in a patient with poor PS and on the bioavailability of tepotinib in the CSF in humans.
