RRM2 (Ribonucleotide Reductase Regulatory Subunit M2)

This integrative multi-scale analysis reveals complex proliferation-associated gene expression patterns and substantial cellular heterogeneity within hepatocellular carcinoma. STMN1 and RRM2 emerge as dominant markers of proliferative reprogramming and promising candidate therapeutic targets warranting further functional investigation in HCC progression.

Based on human HCC data, SPP1, NQO1, RRM2, APOA1, APOC3, ALDOB, and IGF1 were identified as prognosticators indicating poor overall survival. This study presents the first cross-species transcriptomic analysis of canine HCC, revealing significant molecular resemblances to human HCC, indicating it may be a promising comparative model for studying tumor biology, drug responses, and novel therapeutic interventions.

The herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase/ganciclovir (HSV-TK/GCV) suicide gene therapy system has shown promise in cancer treatment, but its clinical applicability is limited by off-target cytotoxicity...In two orthotopic breast cancer models, BRAS significantly suppressed tumor growth without affecting body weight or general health, underscoring its therapeutic potential. This approach intelligently combines molecular signals from both cancerous and healthy cells to precisely regulate therapeutic gene expression, making it a promising platform for the next-generation cancer therapy.

Interestingly, we also found that medications such as prasterone, tazemetostat, isoxyl, gemcitabine, ponsegromab, scx-2023, and nicotinamide could potentially be used in combination with the identified miRNAs to target ferroptosis in CRC. To further validate the stability and reliability of the predicted protein-ligand interactions, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and MM-PBSA analyses were performed on selected top-ranking complexes, which confirmed their stable and favorable binding and supported the robustness of our docking results. These findings suggest that targeting these miRNAs and their associated genes, along with using the identified drugs, could be a promising strategy for CRC treatment, leveraging the potential of ferroptosis-inducing therapies.

Although Gleevec has been transformative for CML, blast crisis CML remains relatively drug resistant...These data suggest that MSI2-HOXA9 acts, at least in part, by increasing expression of the mitochondrial polymerase POLRMT and augmenting mitochondrial function and basal respiration in blast crisis. Collectively, our findings demonstrate for the first time that translocations involving the stem and developmental signal MSI2 can be oncogenic and suggest that MSI, which we found to be a frequent partner for an array of translocations, could also be a driver mutation across solid cancers.

These agents exhibited superior anti-tumor efficacy compared with AR antagonists in vitro. Our study identified novel prostate cancer therapeutic targets independent of the AR signaling pathway and established a research paradigm for developing anti-tumor agents through integrative cancer bioinformatics and network pharmacology analysis.

The results emphasizes that EGCG has strong binding affinity towards YWHAZ, revealing that miR-30a-EGCG targets TNBC synergistically through cell-cycle-mediated pathways. The findings give rational support for miRNA-guided phytochemical-based TNBC therapeutic development.

This analysis identified 8 EDCs potentially involved in ccRCC: Diethylnitrosamine, Diethylstilbestrol, Resveratrol, 4,4'-diaminodiphenylmethane, Trichloroethylene, Arsenic, Lead, and 2,3,5-(triglutathion-S-yl)hydroquinone...Furthermore, cell-cell communication analysis revealed distinct signaling patterns among EDC-associated subpopulations, offering new insights into how EDCs may modulate gene expression and contribute to ccRCC progression. This study provides a foundation for future investigations into EDC-driven tumor biology and may guide the development of targeted therapies and preventative strategies against ccRCC.

This integrated multi-omics approach reveals the complex transcriptional landscape and cellular heterogeneity in lung cancer.

This ENO1-mediated aggregation of RRM2 protein increases the synthesis of dNTPs in pancreatic cancer cells, enhancing the resistance of pancreatic cancer to gemcitabine. Our study reveals a role of ENO1 in pancreatic cancer via RRM2-STUB1 axis and provides a scientific basis for the development of new therapeutic strategies targeting ENO1.

This study demonstrates that unsupervised clustering combined with WGCNA and ML enables the discovery of clinically relevant molecular signatures in PCa. Our findings establish TPX2-centered networks together with biological pathways implicated in mitotic regulation and DNA damage repair as key drivers of tumor evolution, providing a biologically informed source for biomarker development, drug testing and mechanistic studies.
