MAPK9 (Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase 9)

Study heterogeneity, variable antibody scoring, and limited assessment of senescence-associated beta-galactosidase and secretory mediators restricted cross-study comparability. Standardized, spatially resolved profiling may refine risk stratification and support senescence-targeted prevention and therapy in keratinocyte cancers.

This study enhances our understanding of ARID1A regulatory mechanisms, highlighting its phosphorylation as a key driver of breast cancer biology. Future research should validate these kinase-substrate interactions and explore their transcriptional and chromatin-level impacts to develop precision therapies for ARID1A-dysregulated cancers.

Moreover, elevated MAPK8 gene expression was linked to an increased incidence of regional lymph node metastasis. Furthermore, bioinformatics analysis confirmed that MAP2K7 and MAPK8 appear to promote tumor aggressiveness and metastasis, whereas MAPK9 and MAP2K4 may have a protective or regulatory role in early stages of the disease.

Our findings establish MAP3K1 and MAP2K4 as key tumor suppressors in BRCA that operate via the JNK2-p53-FOSL1 axis. Their inactivation provides an alternative mechanism for p53 pathway disruption, adhering to the "minimal necessary alteration" principle in cancer signaling. This study highlights the dual regulatory mechanisms controlling FRA1 expression and offers insights into breast cancer heterogeneity, with potential implications for targeted therapy and patient stratification.

Because JNKs are potential targets for cancer therapy since they are activated aberrantly in many cancers, the development of efficient and specific JNK inhibitors is the current focus in cancer therapeutics. This review provides insights into the development of new JNK inhibitors for the treatment of cancer and enhances understanding of JNK's involvement in cancer progression.

On the other hand, neither JNK nor p38 contributed significantly to the cytokine-induced EGR1 expression, suggesting complicated SAPK-signaling mechanisms that regulate immediate-early gene expression. Together, these results demonstrate the utility of the comprehensive multigene KO and sole-survivor KO strategy in dissecting intracellular signaling pathways consisting of multiple family members.

Our integrated approach underscores the value of MAPK family members as both biomarkers and therapeutic targets in LIHC and LUAD. This study contributes important insights into MAPK-related oncogenic processes and supports the development of targeted therapies under the framework of precision oncology.

Furthermore, treatment with ZBTB7A specific inhibitor Curcumin effectively induced colorectal cancer cell death while reducing CD95 expression. These data indicate that ZBTB7A promotes colon cancer cell growth and survival, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic target for colorectal cancer.

We suggest that hsa-miR-122-5p_R-1, hsa-miR-23b-3p_R + 1, and hsa-miR-15a-5p_R-1 are closely related to MDR-TB.

Here, we performed unbiased genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 knockout screens using endocrine sensitive ER+ breast cancer cells to identify novel drivers of resistance to combination endocrine therapy (tamoxifen) and CDK4/6 inhibitor (palbociclib) treatment. Overall, we demonstrate that suppression of JNK signalling enables persistent growth during combined endocrine therapy and CDK4/6 inhibition. Our data provides the pre-clinical rationale to stratify patients based on JNK pathway activity prior to receiving combination endocrine therapy and CDK4/6 inhibition.

This study systematically identified a set of shared genes between T2DM and CRC, along with the bioactive components and 10 potential targets of GQD for the treatment of T2DM and CRC. These findings provided a theoretical foundation for the combined therapy of T2DM and CRC.

We discuss the seemingly opposite roles of JNK1 and JNK2 in helping cells choose pro-survival and pro-apoptotic pathways. We examine the common features of the JNK protein structure and the possibilities of discovering JNK-isoform-specific inhibitors since, although JNK1 and JNK2 are involved in multiple diseases, including cancer, obesity, diabetes, musculoskeletal and liver disease, no cell-specific or isoform-specific inhibitors are available.
