RKIP as an Inflammatory and Immune System Modulator: Implications in Cancer [PDF]
Raf kinase inhibitor protein (RKIP), an important modulator of intracellular signalling pathways, is commonly downregulated in multiple cancers. This reduction, or loss of expression, is correlated not only with the presence of metastasis, contributing ...

Bmi-1 promotes the proliferation, migration and invasion, and inhibits cell apoptosis of human retinoblastoma cells via RKIP [PDF]
Retinoblastoma is one of the most common ocular malignancies in children. Bmi-1, a member of the Polycomb group family of transcriptional repressors, is expressed in a variety of tumors.

Downregulation of RKIP is associated with poor outcome and malignant progression in gliomas.
Malignant gliomas are highly infiltrative and invasive tumors, which precludes the few treatment options available. Therefore, there is an urgent need to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying gliomas aggressive phenotype and poor prognosis.

Cross-Talks between Raf Kinase Inhibitor Protein and Programmed Cell Death Ligand 1 Expressions in Cancer: Role in Immune Evasion and Therapeutic Implications [PDF]
Innovations in cancer immunotherapy have resulted in the development of several novel immunotherapeutic strategies that can disrupt immunosuppression. One key advancement lies in immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), which have shown significant clinical ...

Phytochemicals as Multitarget Therapeutics in Pancreatic Cancer: Mechanisms, Clinical Evidence, and Translational Challenges. [PDF]
Pancreatic cancer, particularly pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, is aggressive and often diagnosed late, making treatment challenging. This review highlights the potential of phytochemicals, such as curcumin and quercetin, as multitarget agents that influence key carcinogenic pathways. These compounds exhibit anticancer effects by inhibiting processes

Expression Analysis of Selected microRNAs in Diabetes Mellitus Visceral Fat Tissues. [PDF]
Purpose MicroRNA (miRNA) profiling of visceral adipose tissue in Type‐2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains limited. We compared the expression of obesity‐associated miRNAs in visceral fat from individuals with T2DM versus metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) and examined Raf kinase inhibitory protein (RKIP) as a candidate miR‐543 target.

Harnessing RKIP to Combat Heart Disease and Cancer [PDF]
Cancer and heart disease are leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. These diseases have common risk factors, common molecular signaling pathways that are central to their pathogenesis, and even some disease phenotypes that are interdependent.
