Effects of Urtica dioica agglutinin on the expression of hyaluronan synthase and cell surface hyaluronic acid receptor genes. (PubMed, 3 Biotech)
It provides insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying UDA's anti-cancer properties and its potential as a therapeutic agent targeting HA signaling in cancer. Further research is needed to elucidate these mechanisms and explore UDA's clinical applications.

Enhancing the sensitivity of non-invasive cervical cancer detection using CpG methylation haplotype profiling. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
At pre-specified cutoffs (99th percentile of normals), haplotype-based scoring achieved 89.9% sensitivity for invasive cancer at high specificity (~ 94-98%), outperforming median (78.0%) and single-CpG (71.6%) methods. For clinically relevant endpoints, the combined panel detected 51-52% of CIN2 + and 66-67% of CIN3 + cases, again exceeding the performance of median- and single-CpG-based scoring methods.These findings demonstrate the potential of HMH to substantially enhance sensitivity in cervical cancer detection, offering a promising approach for non-invasive diagnostics.

HAS1high cancer associated fibroblasts located at the tumor invasion front zone promote oral squamous cell carcinoma invasion via ECM remodeling. (PubMed, J Exp Clin Cancer Res)
CAFIF with plump cell morphology showed pro-invasive abilities, driven in part by HAS1 overexpression and ECM remodeling, suggesting that targeting HAS1-driven ECM remodeling could be a promising therapeutic strategy.

Hyaluronan accumulation is associated with reduced hyaluronidase expression in renal cell carcinoma, with CD44, HAS1, and HYAL2 emerging as prognostic markers. (PubMed, J Pathol Clin Res)
HAS1 and HYAL2 were identified as novel prognostic biomarkers. These findings provide new insights into HA metabolism in RCC and open potential avenues for better understanding and management of these tumors.

Impact of Hyaluronic Acid on the Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma Microenvironment: A Novel Anti-Tumor Mechanism of Bexarotene. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
Bexarotene potentially exerts its anti-tumor effect by reducing HA levels through decreased expression of HAS. These findings provide new insights into the process of CTCL development and additional insights regarding bexarotene treatment.

Tumor biomechanical stiffness by magnetic resonance elastography predicts surgical outcomes and identifies biomarkers in vestibular schwannoma and meningioma. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
VS with increased stiffness portends worse preoperative hearing and poorer postoperative outcomes. Moreover, inflammation-mediated hyaluronan deposition may lead to increased stiffness.

Identification of established and novel extracellular matrix components in glioblastoma as targets for angiogenesis and prognosis. (PubMed, Neurogenetics)
Some of these molecules: COL5A1/3, COL6A1, COL22/27A1, FBLN1/2, ITGA3/5, ITGB1 and LAMA1/B1 (p < 0.01); NCAN, HAS1, MMP2/9, TIMP1/2 and TGFB1 (p < 0.05) correlated with GBM patient survival. In conclusion, this study identified both established and novel ECM molecules regulating GBM angiogenesis, suggesting NCAN and COL27A1 are new potential prognostic biomarkers for GBM.

Validation of novel DNA methylation markers in cervical precancer and cancer. (PubMed, Int J Cancer)
Using the highest threshold of 100% specificity, sensitivity for detection of cervical cancer was 67.7%; whereas reducing specificity to 95% increased sensitivity to 84.3%. Further evaluation of these biomarkers is warranted in prospective studies.

The anti-inflammation and skin-moisturizing effects of Boehmeria tricuspis-mediated biosynthesized gold nanoparticles in human keratinocytes. (PubMed, Front Pharmacol)
These results suggest that BT-AuNPs can be used as a promising therapeutic alternative for treating skin inflammation. Our findings provide a potential platform for the use of BT-AuNPs as candidates for treating inflammatory skin diseases and promoting skin health.

Pan-cancer analysis reveals the potential of hyaluronate synthase as therapeutic targets in human tumors. (PubMed, Heliyon)
Overexpression of HAS2 promotes secretion of HA in GBM and enhances cell proliferation and migration. The common and specific functions of HAS in certain diseases have important research implications for the treatment and prognosis of tumors.
