TL;DR

A novel ceRNA network involving PCAT7/miR-204-5p/RUNX2 that drives glycolytic metabolism in BRCA is uncovered, advancing the understanding of epigenetic regulation in cancer metabolism and highlighting PCAT7 as a potential prognostic biomarker for BRCA patients, with future in vivo studies needed to further validate the therapeutic potential of targeting this axis.

Integrative Pan‐Cancer Characterization of lncRNA UPK1A‐AS1 and Its Role in Hypoxia‐Associated Sorafenib Resistance in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

It is suggested that UPK1A-AS1 is a hypoxia‐inducible oncogenic lncRNA that plays dual roles in cancer, with cancer type‐dependent associations with progression and immune modulation across malignancies and mechanistically mediating hypoxia‐associated drug resistance in HCC.

METTL3-m6A-IGF2BP2 Axis-Mediated Stabilization of MTFR1 Promotes Glycolytic Reprogramming in Colorectal Cancer.

BACKGROUND Metabolic reprogramming fuels colorectal cancer (CRC), yet upstream regulators that lock cells into a glycolytic state remain incompletely defined. METHODS We integrated single-cell and spatial transcriptomics with GWAS-eQTL-Mendelian randomization to nominate CRC-associated candidate genes, and profiled t...

THAP7-AS1 sponges miR-4286 to upregulate PFKFB2, accelerating aerobic glycolysis and aggravating liver cancer progression

Background Liver cancer ranks among the most prevalent and deadliest malignancies worldwide. As one of the largest metabolic organs, the liver undergoes profound metabolic reprogramming, encompassing oxidative phosphorylation and aerobic glycolysis (the Warburg effect)-a hallmark of liver cancer progression that drives...
