Accumulated evidence has revealed that F-box protein, a subunit of SCF E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes, participates in carcinogenesis and tumor progression via targeting its substrates for ubiquitination and degradation. F-box proteins could be regulate…
BackgroundThere is a strong rational of using anti–programmed cell death protein-1 and its ligand (anti–PD-1/L1) antibodies in human papillomavirus (HPV)–induced cancers. However, anti–PD-1/L1 as monotherapy induces a limited number of objective respon…
Glioma is a common intracranial malignancy in adults and has a high mortality due to its poor prognosis and high recurrence rate. Dysregulation of protein degradation is one of the main promoting factors in glioma development. As an indispensable unit …
The liver is a central immunomodulator that ensures a homeostatic balance between protection and immunotolerance. A hallmark of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the deregulation of this tightly controlled immunological network. Immune response in the …
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) remains the most lethal gynecological cancer and development of chemo-resistance is a major factor in disease relapse. Homologous recombination (HR) is a critical pathway for DNA double strand break repair and its defici…
Beyond the role of mitochondria in apoptosis initiation/execution, some mitochondrial adaptations support the metastasis and chemoresistance of cancer cells. This highlights mitochondria as a promising target for new anticancer strategies. Emergent evi…
BackgroundSize-based assessments are inaccurate indicators of tumor response in soft-tissue sarcoma (STS), motivating the requirement for new response imaging biomarkers for this rare and heterogeneous disease. In this study, we assess the test–retest …
Ferroptosis has emerged as a new type of programmed cell death that can be harnessed for cancer therapy. The concept of ferroptosis was for the first time proposed in in the early 2000s, as an iron-dependent mode of regulated cell death caused by unres…
Sterol regulatory element binding protein-1 (SREBP-1), a transcription factor with a basic helix–loop–helix leucine zipper, has two isoforms, SREBP-1a and SREBP-1c, derived from the same gene for regulating the genes of lipogenesis, including acetyl-Co…
BackgroundLaryngeal cancer is a type of head and neck tumor with a poor prognosis and survival rate. The new cases of laryngeal cancer increased rapidly with a higher mortality rate around the world.ObjectiveThe current research work was focused to unv…
