BackgroundLncRNA LINC02381 has emerged as a promising tumor biomarker; however, its involvement in the pathogenesis of pancreatic cancer remains unexplored at this time. The objective of this study is to elucidate the regulatory effect of L…

ObjectiveOvarian cancer (OC) is a common malignant tumor in women, with poor prognosis and high mortality rates. Early diagnosis, screening, and prognostic prediction of OC have long been focal points and challenges in this field. In recent…

BackgroundMicroRNAs (miRNAs) exert a crucial role in the progression of lung cancer (LC) and can serve as prognostic biomarkers.AimTo analyze the prognostic value of miR-3613-5p and its regulatory effect on XPO6 in LC, this study was conduc…

Ovarian cancer (OC), a common gynecological malignancy, seriously threatens the lives and health of women. Though several serological markers are used for the early diagnosis of OC, most have low specificity and sensitivity. Micro-RNAs (miR…

Across the globe, breast cancer remains the most common malignancy in women. Although novel therapies introduced during the last years have helped reducing its mortality, nevertheless it remains a major public health problem associated with…

BackgroundEndometrial cancer represents a significant health challenge, with rising incidence and complex prognostic challenges. This study aimed to develop a robust predictive model integrating programmed cell death-related genes and advan…

BackgroundLung cancer remains a leading global cause of mortality, with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) as the predominant histological subtype. Current serum biomarkers like carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) lack specificity, necessitating novel d…

BACKGROUND: Tumor microenvironment is well known to have a key role in tumor development. Extracellular vesicles are capable in cell signaling transduction and important in regulation of tumor microenvironment. OBJECTIVE: To investigate whe…

BackgroundMicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression and are emerging as biomarkers for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). We evaluated the diagnostic performance of serum miR-200c-3p and miR-6134, alone and in combination with established m…

Pyroptosis is a novel form of programmed cell death that depends on gasdermin-mediated pore formation in the plasma membrane and the release of inflammatory factors. Pyroptosis is closely linked to the occurrence and progression of almost a…

ObjectiveThe potential association between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and cervical cancer risk is still debated and necessitates additional clinical investigations. This study aimed to explore this relationship using Mendelian randomization …

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis and breast cancer are significant global health burdens affecting women worldwide. Both conditions share notable characteristics including estrogen dependence, progressive growth patterns, recurrence tendencies, an…

The incidence of patients diagnosed with either breast cancer (BC) or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is increasing each year. IBD has been shown to be strongly associated with the development of a variety of solid tumors, but the relation…

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), integral components of the tumor microenvironment, play a pivotal role in tumor proliferation, metastasis, and clinical outcomes. However, its specific roles in Kidney Renal Clear Cell Carcinoma (KIRC) …

BackgroundThe role of mast cells in malignancies remains unclear, and there is no clear correlation between mast cells and tumor microvessels, tumor growth, or lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) prognosis. This study aims to explore the association…

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), which are more than 200 nucleotides in length and do not encode proteins, play crucial roles in governing gene expression at both the transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels. These molecules demonstrate…

PurposeNon-functioning pituitary adenomas (NFPAs) are a group of these neoplasms originated from the adenohypophyse and do not show evidence of hormonal oversecretion. However, different genes and lncRNAs have been found to be dysregulated …

Long non-coding RNAs play critical roles in the development of lung cancer by functioning as tumor suppressors or oncogenes. Changes in the expression of LINC01279 have been associated with cell differentiation and human diseases. However, …

BackgroundImmune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have greatly improved cancer treatment, but the role of genes related to T cell-mediated tumor killing (TTK) sensitivity in ovarian cancer (OV) is unclear.MethodsThis study analyzed 1367 OV pati…

BackgroundEpithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is a pathological type with a higher mortality rate among gynecological cancers today. Long-chain noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) can regulate the transcription and expression of cellular genes. However, t…

Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) have evolved from exogenous retroviruses and account for approximately 8% of the human genome. A growing number of findings suggest that the abnormal expression of HERV genes is associated with schizoph…

BACKGROUND: As ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) has distinct clinical features, biology, genetic characteristics and mechanisms of pathogenesis, and whether the origin of endometriosis or not affects the prognosis of OCCC remains controv…

Ovarian cancer is the most lethal cancer among women worldwide. Early diagnosis of ovarian cancer is a considerable challenge for gynecological oncologists. The exosome is a new emerging biomarker pool for cancer. Herein, we apply integrati…

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play crucial roles in intercellular communication. miRNAs derived from EVs emerge as promising diagnostic indicators and therapeutic targets in a variety of malignancies. Tremendous studies have revealed the fun…
