The HOXD9-Mediated PAXIP1-AS1 Regulates Gastric Cancer Progression through PABPC1/PAK1 Modulation
Investigators showed that PAX-interacting protein 1-antisense RNA 1 (PAXIP1-AS1) was transcriptionally repressed by homeobox D9 (HOXD9) and was significantly downregulated in gastric cancer tissues and cells.
[EMBO Journal] Using a variety of in vitro and in vivo techniques, researchers showed that metastatic prostate cancer cells acquire a specific Na+/Ca2+ signature required for persistent invasion.
[Molecular Cell] Investigators explored the role of minor intron-containing genes and minor spliceosome in cancer, taking prostate cancer as an exemplar.
[Nature Communications] The authors uncovered dual-phosphorylated form of sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1 (SREBF1), pY673/951-SREBF1 that acts as an androgen sensor, and dissociates from androgen receptor in androgen deficient environment, followed by nuclear translocation.
