PDLIM3 (PDZ And LIM Domain 3)

Additionally, a 5-lncRNA signature linked to phototransduction was exclusive to Gr3, offering insights into its lineage switch and molecular regulation. Lnc-SMARCA2 and, MGC32805 and LOC107986446, are exclusively deregulated in SHH and Gr4 MB, respectively, and directly associated with group-specific MB oncogenes, representing promising novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets in MB.

Additionally, our findings highlight that PDLIM3 is essential for GSCs in forming neurospheres. This research provides the first evidence that PDLIM3 may contribute to the aggressiveness of glioblastoma by facilitating GSCs sphere formation and enhancing their invasiveness.

In this study, spatially resolved proteomics was applied to 1144 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue spots obtained by laser capture microdissection from 10 patients with HGSC and divergent carboplatin-paclitaxel (CP) responses. Chemo-resistant patients exhibit pre-treatment metabolic activation rather than proliferative signatures. TFRC (iron transport) and PDLIM3 (cytoskeletal remodelling) are spatially validated as chemo-response biomarkers.

Furthermore, PDLIM3 inhibited the transcriptional activity of Yes-associated protein (YAP), suggesting that YAP may be involved in the PDLIM3-mediated suppression of HNSCC metastatic ability. Our findings identify a potential signaling axis wherein PDLIM3 regulates YAP-EMT, thereby influencing tumor metastatic ability, and suggest the potential role of PDLIM3 as a tumor suppressor and prognostic biomarker for HNSCC.

A significant association was also found between MAGI2-AS3 and the expression of MBNL2 (R=0.51). High expression of MBNL2 inhibits cancer cell proliferation and migration, yet promotes cancer cell apoptosis.

Collectively, silencing of PDLIM3 facilitates ferroptosis in EMS by inducing Gli1 degradation and blocking Hedgehog signaling. It may provide an alternative strategy for developing therapeutic agents of EMS in the future.

Female sex was a risk factor for thyroid cancer. In addition, our analysis suggested that PAPSS2, PDLIM3, COPZ2, ALDH1B1, ANTXR1, GUF1, and SENP6 are negatively correlated with the prognosis of thyroid cancer. The expression of ANTXR1, GUF1, and PDLIM3 was weakly associated with thyroid cancer's immune and molecular subtypes.

Finally, deletion of PDLIM3 in MB cells significantly inhibited their proliferation and repressed tumor growth, suggesting that PDLIM3 is necessary for MB tumorigenesis. Our studies elucidate the critical functions of PDLIM3 in the ciliogenesis and Hh signaling transduction in SHH-MB cells, supporting to utilize PDLIM3 as a molecular marker for defining SHH group of MB in clinics.

Samples with different risk scores differed in different signaling pathway activity, immunopharmaceutical treatment and chemotherapy sensitivity. In conclusion, a comprehensive analysis of neutrophil-related prognostic features will help in prognostic prediction and advance individualized treatment.

Further knockdown of these genes showed reduced metastatic potential. Overall, our results demonstrate that Muc16 alters the tumor microenvironment factors during pancreatic cancer progression and metastasis by changing the expression of Actg2, Myh11, and Pdlim3 genes.

In terms of drug screening, expression of PAM and LGALS3 was correlated positively with sensitivity to simvastatin and ARRY-162, respectively. Based on risk grouping, we predicted 10 anticancer drugs with high sensitivity in the high-risk group, with epothilone B having the lowest half-maximal inhibitory concentration among all drugs tested. Our findings enhance understanding of the M2-like TAM-related molecular mechanisms involved in HCC, reveal the immune landscape of HCC, and provide potential targets for HCC treatment.

Finally, the expression level of CTHRC1, PDGFC, and NTM genes are consistently altered in colon tumor stroma as well as in the higher CAFs-group of TCGA COAD patients. The identified colonic CAFs-derived key genes are positively correlated with survival prognosis, immunosuppression, tumor progression, and metastasis.
