TL;DR

Experimental results showed melatonin reduces SW480 viability with an IC₅₀ of 2.63 mM and lowers BUB1 and CCNA2 expression in different manners of concentration-dependency, while NCAPG remains unchanged, and selective repression of two NF-Y targets with sparing of a non-target is consistent with reduced NF-Y-dependent transcription.

RCBTB2 in cancer: context-dependent functions and translational boundaries

RCBTB2 (RCC1 and BTB domain-containing protein 2), located at chromosome 13q14, is affected by deletion, amplification, expression change, or gene fusion across the cancers studied to date. The divergent directions of these alterations do not fit a tumor-suppressor model with a fixed direction of action. Here, genetic,...

Bidirectional network hubs: NT-genes as candidate targets for partial cancer reversal

Background Reversing the tumor phenotype is a long-standing challenge in cancer biology. Although GRNs comprise thousands of genes, normal and tumor tissues occupy distinct, low-dimensional attractors in expression space, raising the possibility that targeting a few key genes could induce widespread transcriptional cha...

Abstract A027: Loss of the Y chromosome drives basal identity and metastatic potential via epigenetic reprogramming in pancreatic cancer

It is demonstrated for the first time that LOY is significantly enriched in advanced-stage disease and the aggressive basal molecular subtype, establishing LOY as a causal genetic driver of PDAC progression, acting through epigenetic remodeling to promote EMT, basal subtype identity, metastasis, and therapy resistance.

The chromosomal instability associated gene C2orf76 exerts dual roles in colorectal cancer through pyroptosis and chemotherapy response

Introduction Despite advances in colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment, the chromosomal instability (CIN)-positive subgroup remains refractory to conventional therapies and immunotherapy. C2orf76, a poorly characterized gene identified as a CIN-linked candidate in CRC through bioinformatic analyses, has been associated wit...
