Mitochondrial superoxide dismutase controls metabolic plasticity in pancreatic cancer
Background The role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cancer is debated. One main antioxidant enzyme is mitochondrial superoxide dismutase (SOD2) which has been shown to influence tumor initiation and metastatic progression in several cancer types ...

Human proto-oncogene N-myc encodes nuclear proteins that bind DNA. [PDF]
N-myc is a gene whose amplification has been implicated in the genesis of several malignant human tumors. We have identified two proteins with molecular weights of 65,000 and 67,000 encoded by N-myc. The abundance of these proteins in tumor cells was consonant with the extent of amplification of N-myc.

Correlation of the differential expression of PIK3R1 and its spliced variant, p55α, in pan‐cancer
PIK3R1 undergoes alternative splicing to generate the isoforms, p85α and p55α. By combining large patient datasets with laboratory experiments, we show that PIK3R1 spliced variants shape cancer behavior. While tumors lose the protective p85α isoform, p55α is overexpressed, changes linked to poorer survival and more pronounced in African American ...

Study of MDM2 Promoter Polymorphism(SNP309) in Breast Cancer Patients in an Iranian Population
Introduction: Immunological processes play an important role in recurrent spontaneous abortion(RSA). According to studies, T lymphocytes and natural killer cells(NK cells) are two effective cell groups in RSA.

miRNAs link metabolic reprogramming to oncogenesis [PDF]
The most profound biochemical phenotype of cancer cells is their ability to metabolize glucose to lactate, even under aerobic conditions. This alternative metabolic circuitry is sufficient to support the biosynthetic and energy requirements for cancer ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Decoding HiPSC-CM’s Response to SARS-CoV-2: mapping the molecular landscape of cardiac injury
Background Acute cardiac injury caused by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) increases mortality. Acute cardiac injury caused by COVID-19 requires understanding how severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) directly infects ...

Point mutations of the P53 gene, human hepatocellular carcinoma and aflatoxins [PDF]
The tumor suppressor p53 exerts important protective functions towards DNA-damaging agents. Its inactivation by allelic deletions or point mutations within the P53 gene as well as complex formation of wildtype p53 with cellular or viral proteins is a ...
