Furthermore, FABP7 silencing reduced stemness capacity, as evidenced by diminished sphere-forming ability. Mechanistically, downregulation of FABP7 led to inhibition of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. This study demonstrates that FABP7 can promote cell migration and stemness in endometrial cancer by activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, supporting FABP7 as a potential therapeutic target for the clinical management of endometrial cancer.
Oleic acid-HOXB9-ODC1 stable cascading axis then is confirmed in patient tissues, and ODC1 inhibitors boost patient-derived tumor cells' chemosensitivity. This study links fatty acids to polyamine buildup, reveals a mechanism for metabolic syndrome-driven endometrial cancer, and points to HOXB9 and ODC1 as potential therapeutic targets.
According to the 2023 updated International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging guidelines for endometrial cancer, all the three cases were in advanced stage. It is suggested that pathologists should make accurate diagnosis based on morphological manifestations, using a set of matched immunohistochemical markers and necessary molecular tests to avoid misdiagnosis and better guide clinical diagnosis and treatment.
We observed moderate-to-weak evidence supporting causal effects of alcohol consumption on risk of head/neck, oesophageal, and colorectal cancer, inconsistent evidence for liver cancer, and no evidence for breast cancer. Overall, human genetic data do not provide evidence that alcohol consumption is a cause of all cancers and suggest there may even be inverse associations with certain cancer types.
