Establishment and characterization of an immortalized epithelial cell line from human gallbladder

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2022
BackgroundAlthough a plethora of studies have employed multiple gallbladder cancer (GBC) cell lines, it is surprisingly noted that there is still lack of a normal gallbladder epithelial cell line as a normal counterpart, thus impeding substantially the ...

The oncogenic role of NF1 in gallbladder cancer through regulation of YAP1 stability by direct interaction with YAP1

open access: yesJournal of Translational Medicine, 2023
Background Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is the most prevalent and invasive biliary tract malignancy. As a GTPase-activating protein, Neurofibromin 1 (NF1) is a tumor suppressor that negatively regulates the RAS signaling pathway, and its abnormality leads to

Fasting-induced RNF152 resensitizes gallbladder cancer cells to gemcitabine by inhibiting mTORC1-mediated glycolysis

open access: yesiScience
Summary: Abnormal mTORC1 activation by the lysosomal Ragulator complex has been implicated in cancer and glycolytic metabolism associated with drug resistance. Fasting upregulates RNF152 and mediates the metabolic status of cells.

KRAS G12D mutation eliminates reactive oxygen species through the Nrf2/CSE/H 2S axis and contributes to pancreatic cancer growth

open access: yesActa Biochimica et Biophysica Sinica, 2022
In pancreatic cancer, KRAS G12D can trigger pancreatic cancer initiation and development. Rapid tumor growth is often accompanied by excess intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, which is unfavorable to tumor.
