GPR137-RAB8A activation promotes ovarian cancer development via the Hedgehog pathway by Chao Tang, Lin Li, Chongying Zhu, Qiang Xu, Zihao An, Shouying Xu, Chao Lin

“…By RNA-sequencing and experiments in vitro using multiple ovarian cancer cell models as well as in vivo using subcutaneous xenografts assay and in situ transplantation ovarian cancer model in nude mice, we further demonstrated that RAB8A positively mediated OC progression through activating HH signaling pathway by disassociating the protein–protein complex formation of GLI and SuFu (Suppressor of Fused), which reciprocally enhanced GPR137 activity, forming a regulation loop between HH signaling and GPR137. …”

High-performance CT features supporting accurate pre-operative tumor staging in colon cancer by Jianhua Yuan, Cangzheng Jin, Jianrong Si, Baobao Liu, Xiaohan Si, Jianzhi Chen

“…Histopathologically, small protuberances in pT2 cancer represent the pure DR on the surface of lamina propria, whereas the small protuberances in pT3~pT4 cancers represent the sub-serosal or extra-serosal cancer cell foci enwrapped by DR; (3) the presence of large protuberances, extensive reticulonodular fat stranding, and fusion with surrounding organs and ascites are diagnostic of pT4 tumors; and (4) the presence of extra-fascial nodules/streaks on CT scan could accurately diagnose the ascending/descending colon cancer of pT4 stage. …”

Regulation of human papillomavirus E6 oncoprotein function via a novel ubiquitin ligase FBXO4 by Arushi Vats, Luca Braga, Nezka Kavcic, Paola Massimi, Edoardo Schneider, Mauro Giacca, Laimonis A. Laimins, Lawrence Banks

“…Furthermore, our data demonstrate that the combined knockdown of FBXO4 and E6AP not only rescues the protein levels of E6 but also induces high levels of cell death in a p53-dependent manner in the HPV-positive cervical cancer cell line, HeLa. These results indicate a close interplay between FBXO4, E6AP, and p53 in the regulation of cell survival in HPV-positive cervical tumor-derived cells.IMPORTANCEE6-associated protein (E6AP)-mediated stabilization of human papillomavirus (HPV) E6 plays a crucial role in the development and progression of cervical and other HPV-associated cancers. …”
