[Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry] The combined chemotherapy with methionine restriction could enhance the chemotherapeutic sensitivity of colorectal cancer stem cells by up-regulation of miR-320d to inhibit c-Myc expression
[Cancer Gene Therapy] Investigators showed that exosomes from Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells, but not exosomes from EBV-negative NPC cells, destroyed endothelial cell tight junction proteins, which are natural barriers against metastasis, and promoted endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition in endothelial cells.
[Cell Death Discovery] Scientists explored the ability of gastric cancer (GC) cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs)-mediated microRNA-129-5p/E2F transcription factor 7/mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular regulated protein kinase axis to affect the peritoneal metastasis of GC by delivering lncRNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 12.
[Cell Death Discovery] The authors presented the first report that circular RNA RPAP2 (circRPAP2) was downregulated in breast cancer tissue samples and cell lines.
