Breast cancer (BC) is the most commonly diagnosed malignant tumour in females worldwide. Although remarkable advances in early detection and treatment strategies have led to decreased mortality, recurrence and metastasis remain the major causes of cancer death in BC patients. Increasing evidence has demonstrated that circular RNAs (circRNAs) play critical roles in cancer progression. However, the detailed biological functions and molecular mechanisms of circRNAs in BC are unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible role of circRNAs in the progression of BC...

Gastric cancer (GC) is a common malignant tumor of the digestive tract, and chemoresistance significantly impacts GC patients' prognosis. PANoptosis has been associated with oxaliplatin-induced cell death. However, the direct regulatory role of YBX1 in cellular chemoresistance through PANoptosis remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the impact of YBX1 on regulating PANoptosis and its influence on the resistance of gastric cancer cells to oxaliplatin. Through overexpression and silencing experiments, we assessed YBX1's effect on proliferation and PANoptosis regulation in gastric cancer cells...

Lung cancer (LC) is the most prevalent cancer type, with a high mortality rate worldwide. The current treatment options for LC have not been particularly successful in improving patient outcomes. Yifei Sanjie (YFSJ), a well-applicated traditional Chinese medicine formula, is widely used to treat pulmonary diseases, especially LC, yet little is known about its molecular mechanisms. This study was conducted to explore the molecular mechanism by which YFSJ ameliorated LC progression. The A549, NCI-H1975, and Calu-3 cells were treated with the YFSJ formula and observed for colony number, apoptosis, migration, and invasion properties recorded via corresponding assays...

RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are key regulators of translation and plasticity in the nervous system, which are processes required for learning and memory. Indeed, RBP dysfunction has been linked to a wide range of neurological disorders where cognitive impairments are a key symptom. However, the human genome encodes nearly 2,000 RBPs, many of which have yet to be characterized with regards to neurological phenotypes like associative behaviors. To address this, we used the model organism C. elegans to perform a targeted screen assessing the role of 20 conserved RBPs in learning and memory...

Y-box binding protein 1 (YBX1), a member of the Cold Shock Domain protein family, is overexpressed in various human cancers and is recognized as an oncogenic gene associated with poor prognosis. YBX1's functional diversity arises from its capacity to interact with a broad range of DNA and RNA molecules, implicating its involvement in diverse cellular processes. Independent investigations have unveiled specific facets of YBX1's contribution to cancer development. This comprehensive review elucidates YBX1's multifaceted role in cancer across cancer hallmarks, both in cancer cell itself and the tumor microenvironment...

BACKGROUND: Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common malignant tumor of the central nervous system. It is an aggressive tumor characterized by rapid proliferation, diffuse tumor morphology, and poor prognosis. Unfortunately, current treatments, such as surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, are unable to achieve good outcomes. Therefore, there is an urgent need to explore new treatment targets. A detailed mechanistic exploration of the role of the nuclear pore transporter KPNB1 in GBM is lacking...

Stress granules (SGs) are formed through liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), in response to external stimuli. YBX1, an integral component of SGs, plays a crucial role in tumor progression and cellular stress response. This study aims to elucidate the mechanisms and specific biological implications of YBX1 in SG formation, along with the identification of key regions and interacting proteins. Our observations indicate that YBX1 rapidly undergoes liquid-liquid phase separation, leading to SG formation in response to 8 Gy X-ray irradiation within 1 h, with SGs reverting to their original state after 5 h...

RNA binding protein RBM10 participates in various RNA metabolism, and its decreased expression or loss of function by mutation has been identified in many human cancers. However, how its dysregulation contributes to human cancer pathogenesis remains to be determined. Here, we found that RBM10 expression was decreased in breast tumors, and breast cancer patients with low RBM10 expression presented poorer survival rates. RBM10 depletion in breast cancer cells significantly promotes the cellular proliferation and migration...

BACKGROUND: Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a progressive manifestation of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) that can lead to fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Despite the growing knowledge of NASH and HCC, the association between the two conditions remains to be fully explored. Bioinformatics has emerged as a valuable approach for identifying disease-specific feature genes, enabling advancements in disease prediction, prevention, and personalized treatment strategies...

Maternal exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5 ) is associated with adverse pregnancy and neonatal health outcomes. To explore the mechanism, we performed mRNA sequencing of neonatal cord blood. From an ongoing prospective cohort, Air Pollution on Pregnancy Outcome (APPO) study, 454 pregnant women from six centers between January 2021 and June 2022 were recruited. Individual PM2.5 exposure was calculated using a time-weighted average model. In the APPO study, age-matched cord blood samples from the High PM2...

Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death in women worldwide, with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) having the worst prognosis. Although there are numerous studies on TNBC, there is no effective treatment for it, and it is still a major problem today. Studies on PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are increasing and investigating the mechanism of piRNAs in the proliferation and metastasis of TNBC may lead to new potential treatment targets. Here, we identified a novel piRNA, piR-YBX1, which was downregulated in TNBC compared to matched normal breast tissue...

5-Methylcytosine (m5C) methylation is present in almost all types of RNA as an essential epigenetic modification. It is dynamically modulated by its associated enzymes, including m5C methyltransferases (NSUN, DNMT and TRDMT family members), demethylases (TET family and ALKBH1) and binding proteins (YTHDF2, ALYREF and YBX1). Among them, aberrant expression of the RNA-binding protein ALYREF can facilitate a variety of malignant phenotypes such as maintenance of proliferation, malignant heterogeneity, metastasis, and drug resistance to cell death through different regulatory mechanisms, including pre-mRNA processing, mRNA stability, and nuclear-cytoplasmic shuttling...

Abnormal long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) expression plays an important role in tumor invasion and metastasis. Here, we show that lncRNA LY6E divergent transcript (LY6E-DT) levels are increased in breast cancer (BC) tissues. Transcription factor SP3 binds directly to the LY6E-DT promoter, activating its transcription. Moreover, LY6E-DT N6-methyladenosine modification by methyltransferase-like protein 14 (METTL14) promotes its expression, dependent on the "reader" insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 1(IGF2BP1)-dependent pathway...
