Abstract

Aberrant expression of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) plays pivotal roles in tumorigenesis of human malignant cancers, including esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). However, the specific role of lncRNA NRSN2-AS1 in ESCC has not been investigated. Our analysis of clinical data revealed that NRSN2-AS1 was upregulated in ESCC tissues and negatively correlated with patient survival. Luciferase reporter assays and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays demonstrated that NRSN2-AS1 is transcribed by SOX2. In vitro functional experiments showed that NRSN2-AS1 can promote ESCC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Furthermore, NRSN2-AS1-binding proteins were detected using RNA pull-down assays and mass spectrometry. Mechanistically, NRSN2-AS1 can bind to phosphoglycerate kinase 1 (PGK1) and upregulate its protein levels by inhibiting its ubiquitination. Knockdown of PGK1 in part abolished the NRSN2-AS1 overexpression-induced effects on ESCC cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and epithelial‑mesenchymal transition (EMT). Thus, NRSN2-AS1 may be a diagnostic biomarker or treatment target for ESCC.

Neu im Fachgebiet Onkologie

KI-gestütztes Mammografiescreening überzeugt im Praxistest

Mit dem Einsatz künstlicher Intelligenz lässt sich die Detektionsrate im Mammografiescreening offenbar deutlich steigern. Mehr unnötige Zusatzuntersuchungen sind laut der Studie aus Deutschland nicht zu befürchten.

Welche Krebserkrankungen bei Zöliakie häufiger auftreten

Eine große Kohortenstudie hat den Zusammenhang zwischen Zöliakie und gastrointestinalen Krebserkrankungen und inflammatorischen Krankheiten untersucht. Neben gastrointestinalen Tumoren ist auch ein nicht solider Krebs häufiger.

Adjuvanter PD-L1-Hemmer verhindert Rezidive bei Hochrisiko-Urothelkarzinom

Sind Menschen mit muskelinvasivem Urothelkarzinom für die neoadjuvante platinbasierte Therapie nicht geeignet oder sprechen sie darauf nicht gut an, ist Pembrolizumab eine adjuvante Alternative: Die krankheitsfreie Lebenszeit wird dadurch mehr als verdoppelt.

Duale Checkpointhemmung gegen Melanome verlängert langfristig das Leben

Im Vergleich zu den Überlebenschancen vor der Einführung von Immuncheckpointhemmern (ICI) ist der Fortschritt durch eine ICI-Kombination mit unterschiedlichen Tagets bei fortgeschrittenem Melanom erstaunlich. Das belegen die finalen Ergebnisse der CheckMate-067-Studie und geben Betroffenen "Hoffnung auf Heilung".
