DLX1 (Distal-Less Homeobox 1)

While not definitive, this evidence may potentially support the transcriptomic and splicing findings. SRPK1 inhibition may remodel the cervical cancer transcriptome in an HPV-linked manner, with SiHa cells exhibiting changes consistent with suppression of oncogenic signaling, whereas C33A cells adapt through translational and metabolic reprogramming.

Target analysis of OPC-and OL-enriched miRNAs revealed key genes, including transcription factors ZNF488 and DLX1, cytoskeletal regulator CSNK2B, and potassium channel gene KCNJ1, along with key signaling pathways such as AKT, SMAD2/3, estrogen receptor, and insulin signaling, which regulate OPC and OL lineage function. These findings advance our understanding of the OLLC-specific miRNAs, and miRNA-mediated regulatory networks governing human OL differentiation and maturation and provide promising therapeutic targets for future studies aimed at restoring myelin integrity and improving outcomes in demyelinating diseases.

Its high NPV avoids unnecessary biopsies and their associated morbidity. While integrating SelectMDx with mpMRI provides new diagnostic insights, the molecular test revealed superior accuracy when used alone, confirming its importance in precision medicine.

Homologs of CEPsh astrocyte-enriched genes are preferentially enriched in mammalian astrocytes, and the CEH-43 homologs DLX1/2 are expressed in mouse astrocytes. Our findings suggest parallels between CEPsh and mammalian astrocyte development, implicating conserved regulators in astrocyte cell-fate acquisition.

The large number of women with HPV infections in China each year has led to excessive cytological screenings and colposcopy referrals. A feasible triage tool for women who are hrHPV-positive significantly reduces unnecessary medical resource utilization and offers substantial health and economic benefits.

The test demonstrated a sensitivity of 57.14%, a specificity of 81.82%, a positive predictive value of 40% and a negative predictive value of 90%, with an overall diagnostic accuracy of 77.5%. While age emerged as the only independent predictor in multivariate analysis, SelectMDx showed a strong potential to exclude malignancy and support more selective biopsy strategies.

ZNF671m within the GynTect® panel demonstrates robust triage performance in diagnosing CIN3 + cases, with efficacy comparable to the full panel. These findings suggest that ZNF671m could be a promising alternative for cytologic triage, warranting further validation.

Furthermore, NCS1 itself acts as an upstream regulator of c-MYC and is significantly upregulated in LUAD, with its expression correlating with advanced stages, TP53 mutations, and unfavorable clinical outcomes. Collectively, our findings delineate the DLX1-NCS1-MYC axis as a critical transcriptional network underpinning LUAD progression.

Multigene methylation testing is an efficient triage test for CIN2 + in hrHPV-positive patients and has potential value in clinical practice. Combined HPV16/18 and multigene methylation testing for the triage of CIN2 + is significantly better than combined HPV16/18 and cytology testing.

The findings suggest that the methylation markers comprising GynTect® may be suitable for detecting vulvar neoplasia, as they exhibit high sensitivity. Nonetheless, adjustments are needed for comparable specificity. Lichen should be considered in result interpretation, and the kit should be used with caution for patients with lichen. Moreover, we observed methylation changes as an early event with the highest positivity of VLSIL. Surprisingly, changes in methylation pattern are not as local as presumed. Cervical SIL led to changed methylation in the vulva. Patients with positive kit results should be monitored regularly for all genital dysplasia. This sheds new light on the epigenetics in cancer.

This study underscores the potential of GynTect® in predicting histology outcomes of post-LEEP specimens, thereby showcasing its promising ability to assist clinicians in selecting appropriate therapeutic regimens for patients with HSIL.
