RRM2 overexpression

LncRNA HOTAIR upregulated RRM2 by competitively binding to miR-20b-5p and activated PI3K/AKT pathway, thereby facilitating proliferation and repressing apoptosis of RB cells.

Collectively, our data indicate that RRM2 promotes the progression of RB by activating JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway. Targeting RRM2/JAK2/STAT3 axis lays a theoretical foundation for the formulation of novel RB therapy.

Furthermore, we show that exhausted CD4 T cells induced the expression of the RRM2 gene in the primary ccRCC cell line. Collectively, our results provide the link between PBRM1 loss, RRM2 expression and T cell infiltration, which may lead to the establishment of new treatment of this disease.

Furthermore, overexpressing RRM2 induces DOX resistance of HT1080 cells by rescuing DOX-induced DNA damage by promoting DNA repair, whereas CYP1A2 confers resistance by decreasing intracellular DOX accumulation, which piR-39980 restores. This study reveals that piR-39980 could reduce fibrosarcoma resistance to DOX by modulating RRM2 and CYP1A2, implying that piRNA can be used in combination with DOX.

Further, overexpression of RRM2 in HT1080 cells induces proliferation, migration, invasion, and colony formation, whereas its silencing arrest the cell cycle at G0/G1 phase and induces apoptosis. Taken together, we established RRM2 to be positively associated with oncogenesis and prognosis of STS and therefore could be a promising prognostic marker and therapeutic target.

The miR-30a-5p/RRM2 axis facilitated the malignant transformation of PDAC cells.

GEPIA Box Plot showed that BUB1, CCNB2, PTTG1, and RRM2 were over expressed in the ccRCC tissues in contrast to the normal tissues (P<0.05). Conclusion ccRCC patients with the four up-regulated differentially expressed genes including BUB1,CCNB2,PTTG1, and RRM2might manifest a poor prognosis.

Altogether, we propose a signature network of E3 ligases that collaboratively modulates CCNF anti-cancer activity. There is potential to target BRCA through modulation of the partnership axes of (i) CCNF-FBXL8, (ii) CCNF-FZR1, and (iii) CCNF-RRM2, particularly, via CCNF overexpression and activation and FBXL8/FZR1 suppression.

Our results show that the oncolytic effects of MYXV correlate directly with RR expression levels and are enhanced in STS cell lines with naturally occurring or artificially induced high expression levels of RR. Myxoma virus holds promise in the treatment of advanced soft tissue cancer, especially in tumors overexpressing RR.

This synthetic lethal effect reflected conversion of single-stranded lesions in IGF-inhibited cells into toxic DSBs upon ATM inhibition. Overall, these data implicate IGF-1R in alleviating replication stress, and the reciprocal IGF:ATM co-dependence we identify provides an approach to exploit this effect in ATM-deficient cancers.

Ribonucleotide reductase M2 may be a novel target in the diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy of OSCC.

RRM2 over-expression increased the activation of Bcl-2 and E-cadherin signaling pathways, and reduced the activation of p53 signaling pathway. In summary, high RRM2 expression is an independent predictive factor of poor prognosis in patients with lung adenocarcinoma.

It was demonstrated that miR-20a suppressed NSCLC growth by inhibiting RRM2-mediated PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. These findings indicate that the novel identified miR-20a could function as a tumor suppressor in NSCLC through modulating the RRM2-mediated PI3K/Akt axis, and it could be a valid molecular target for NSCLC treatment.
