Long Non-Coding RNA PVT1 Facilitates High Glucose-Induced Cardiomyocyte Death Through the miR-23a-3p/CASP10 Axis

Investigators observed that plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 (PVT1) and caspase‐10 were upregulated while miR‐23a‐3p was downregulated in high glucose‐induced cardiomyocytes. High glucose repressed cardiomyocyte activity and induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis, but this influence was antagonized by PVT1 knockdown or miR‐23a‐3p overexpression.

Shrimp Shells Extracted Chitin in Silver Nanoparticle Synthesis: Expanding Its Prophecy towards Anticancer Activity in Human Hepatocellular Carcinoma HepG2 Cells

The well-organized, simplistic, and biological route of AgNPs (AgNPs) was synthesized using shrimp shell extracted chitin as reducing, capping and stabilizing factor under the optimized conditions. The anticancer potential of synthesized biogenic AgNPs was evaluated against human hepatocarcinoma cells.

Diltiazem Potentiates the Cytotoxicity of Gemcitabine and 5-Fluorouracil in PANC-1 Human Pancreatic Cancer Cells through Inhibition of P-Glycoprotein

The cytotoxic effect of diltiazem, gemcitabine, and 5-fluorouracil in single and combined forms against PANC-1 and AsPC-1 cells were assayed by MTT. Flow cytometric analysis was used for the determination of cell cycle, apoptosis, and stemness markers in pancreatic cancer cells.

Introduction of hsa-MiR-512-3p as a New Regulator of HER2 Signaling Pathway in Breast Cancer

Researchers found that miR-512-3p acted as a cell-type-specific tumor suppressor, through targeting HER2, HER3, PIK3R2, and AKT1 transcripts.

Discovery of a Novel Dual-Target Inhibitor against RSK1 and MSK2 to Suppress Growth of Human Colon Cancer

The authors identified a novel dual-target inhibitor, APIO-EE-07, that could block both RSK1 and MSK2 kinase activity in a dose-dependent manner. APIO-EE-07 inhibited cell growth and induced apoptosis and also increased expression of Bax as well as cleaved caspase-3 and -PARP in colon cancer cells by downregulating RSK1 and MSK2 downstream targets, including CREB and ATF1.

Mcl-1 Targeting Strategies Unlock the Proapoptotic Potential of TRAIL in Melanoma Cells

Scientists evaluated the involvement of antiapoptotic Bcl‐2 proteins in TNF‐related apoptosis‐inducing ligand (TRAIL) resistance. They were targeted by small interfering RNA‐mediated silencing in TRAIL‐sensitive and in TRAIL‐resistant melanoma cell lines.
