Aberrant mucus secretion is a hallmark of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Expression the membrane-tethered mucins 3A and 3B (MUC3A, MUC3B) in human lung largely unknown. In this observational cross-sectional study, we recruited subjects 45–65 years old from general population Stockholm, Sweden, during 2007–2011. Bronchial mucosal biopsies, bronchial brushings, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were retrieved COPD patients (n = 38), healthy never-smokers 40), smokers with normal function 40). Protein expression MUC3A MUC3B biopsies was assessed by immunohistochemical staining. subgroup 28), mRNAs quantified brushings using microarray.

Accumulating evidence supports that both long non-coding and micro RNAs (lncRNAs miRNAs) are implicated in glioma tumorigenesis progression. Poor outcome of gliomas has been linked to late-stage diagnosis mostly ineffectiveness conventional treatment due low knowledge about the early stage gliomas, which not possible observe with diagnostic approaches. The past few years witnessed a revolutionary advance biotechnology neuroscience understanding tumor-related molecules, including involved angiogenesis progression cells thus used as prognostic biomarkers well novel therapeutic targets. emerging research on lncRNAs miRNAs highlights their crucial role progression, offering new insights into disease. These hold significant potential targets, paving way for innovative approaches against glioma. This review encompasses comprehensive discussion gene regulation is responsible promotion or inhibition collects existing links between these key cancer-related molecules.

Abstract Background Glioblastoma exhibits aggressive growth and poor outcomes despite treatment, its marked variability renders therapeutic design prognostication challenging. The Oncology Research Information Exchange Network (ORIEN) database contains complementary clinical, genomic, transcriptomic profiling of 206 glioblastoma patients, providing opportunities to identify novel associations between molecular features clinical outcomes. Methods Survival analyses were performed using the Logrank test, evaluated Wilcoxon chi-squared tests with q-values derived via Benjamini-Hochberg correction. Mutational utilized sample-level enrichments from whole exome sequencing data, statistical one-sided Fisher Exact test Transcriptomic a student’s t-test Expression fold changes processed Ingenuity Pathway Analysis determine pathway-level alterations groups. Results Key findings include an association MUC17, SYNE1, TENM1 mutations prolonged overall survival (OS); decreased OS associated higher epithelial factor receptor (EGFR) mRNA expression, but not EGFR amplification or mutation; 14-transcript signature &gt; 2 years; transcripts &lt; 1 year. Conclusions Herein, we report first analysis ORIEN cases, incorporating sample reclassification under updated 2021 diagnostic criteria.

Abstract Diffuse gliomas are tumors that arise from glial or progenitor cells. They currently classified as astrocytoma isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-mutant oligodendroglioma IDH-mutant, and chromosome arms 1p/19q-codeleted, both slower-growing tumors, glioblastoma (GBM), a more aggressive tumor. Despite advances in the diagnosis treatment of gliomas, median survival time after GBM remains low, approximately 15 months, with 5-year overall rate only 6.8%. Therefore, new biomarkers therapy targets could support better prognosis these would be great value. MUC1 MUC4, membrane-bound mucins, has been identified potential biomarker several tumors. However, role mucins adult not yet well explored. Here, we show for first time, retrospective study by silico analysis, relevance correlation genes gliomas.

Abstract Histone methyltransferase EZH2, primarily localized in the nucleus, mediates constitutive Polycomb repressive complex activity by trimethylating lysine 27 of histone H3 (H3K27me3), leading to gene silencing through canonical and noncanonical mechanisms, resulting transcriptional repression or activation. Its involvement is crucial cell growth, proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, with its effects linked regulation various targets signaling pathways. Overexpression EZH2 alters expression function, thereby facilitating cancer progression. Recent research has identified potential prognostic role glioma patients.

ABSTRACT Acute Interstitial Pneumonia (AIP) represents a severe form of diffuse lung injury within the idiopathic interstitial pneumonia spectrum. Given limited understanding its molecular basis, this study aims to elucidate AIP's genomic and transcriptomic profiles uncover pathophysiological underpinnings identify potential therapeutic targets. We conducted comprehensive analysis data from tissues 15 AIP patients. This included assessing differentially expressed genes (DEGs) identifying mutations in exonic coding variants, as well analysing expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) link non‐coding SNP genotypes with gene levels. Transcriptomic revealed significant upregulation linked Type I interferon receptor keratin filament, downregulation related focal adhesion endothelial integrity, compared healthy individuals. These patterns were distinct those observed pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) non‐IPF diseases (ILDs). Genomic highlighted associated extracellular matrix. Additionally, eQTL profiling provided insights into genetic regulation AIP. Our findings reveals unique landscape, differentiating it other ILDs laying groundwork for future diagnostic research.

Despite attempts at improving survival by employing novel therapies, progression in glioma is nearly universal. Precision biomarkers are critical to advancing outcomes; however, for currently unknown. Most data on which the field can draw biomarker identification comprise tissue-based analysis requiring biospecimen be removed from tumor. Non-invasive specimen-based precision needed. Mucins captured tissue and blood increasingly studied cancer, with several studies exploring their role as detect disease monitor progression. CA125, also known MUC16, implemented a clinic ovarian cancer. Similarly, mucins membrane-bound, facilitating downstream signaling associated tumor resistance hallmarks of Evidence supports mucin expression cells relationships detection, progression, resistance, patient outcomes. The differential across tissues organs could provide means attributing signals measured serum or plasma. In this review, we compiled existing research candidate glioma, focusing promising relationship leading framework biospecimens well avenues validation evolve.
