SOX17 (SRY-Box Transcription Factor 17)

Müllerian carcinomas can be distinguished from non-gynecological metastases using PAX8 and SOX17 immunohistochemistry, with PAX8-high/SOX17-high patterns strongly indicating endometrioid differentiation and double-negative results excluding gynecologic origin with consistency in colorectal, breast, and pulmonary carcinomas. Renal and thyroid carcinomas are the diagnostic traps on the basis of PAX8 expression and require additional markers for final classification in metastatic workups.

Importantly, further analysis revealed that the differentiation process promoted by aesculetin was associated with the activation of the STAT3 and STAT5 signaling pathways. Collectively, these findings underscore the pivotal role of aesculetin in promoting the hepatic differentiation of hBM-MSCs and demonstrate its potential as a key component for regenerative medicine applications in liver tissue engineering or stem cell-based therapies.

High cfDNA concentrations associated with poorer disease-free and overall survival (p<0.001). Detection of a cfDNA panel, rather than a single gene, demonstrates superior utility as a minimally invasive biomarker promising for early detection, risk assessment, and disease monitoring in breast cancer.

RSV and 3-MET-OX reduced stemness markers (SOX2, NANOG), increased the thyroid lineage transcription factor (SOX17), and enhanced differentiation genes (TTF-1, TPO, NIS). Overall, these results support our hypothesis that modulation of the SOX2/SOX17 ratio by polyphenols provides a mechanistic basis for re-differentiation, thereby improving therapeutic responsiveness in ATC.

Colloid cysts of the 3rd ventricle are consistently PAX8-positive, while they lack signs of thyroid, müllerian or enteric differentiation. Furthermore, PAX8 can be used to distinguish CC from NEC, RCC, and craniopharyngiomas.

Abnormal methylation of SHOX2, CDO1, and SOX17 is prevalent in lung cancer, potentially serving as biomarkers for early diagnosis and prognostic monitoring.

Regulation of SOX18 by miR-24-3p highlights a potential therapeutic vulnerability. These findings underscore the significance of SOX transcription factors as biomarkers and potential targets for novel treatment strategies in NSCLC.

Consistent with these findings, our in vivo studies in BALB/c nude mice showed that aPC-EVs from lung cancer cells promote tumor growth, metastasis, and drug resistance through miR-200a transfer. Targeting EV biogenesis, EV's miR-200a, and/or EV uptake mechanisms may offer novel therapeutic strategies in limiting lung tumorigenesis, thereby increasing patients' survival.

Furthermore, we explore emerging epigenetic therapies ("epidrugs"), their integration with standard chemotherapy and immunotherapy, and the potential of multi-omics approaches in precision oncology. By linking molecular insights to clinical applications, this review emphasizes the promise of epigenetic strategies in advancing personalized treatment for breast cancer patients.

Our multivariable diagnostic model based on five genes through logistic regression optimization, demonstrated robust discriminative capacity for OC. SOX17 functions as a suppressor and potential therapeutic target for OC.

The large number of women with HPV infections in China each year has led to excessive cytological screenings and colposcopy referrals. A feasible triage tool for women who are hrHPV-positive significantly reduces unnecessary medical resource utilization and offers substantial health and economic benefits.

This study supplements the current knowledge of the underlying mechanism behind acquired chemoresistance in OVCA. Four differentially methylated genes identified in this study may have the potential to serve as promising epigenetic clinical biomarkers for HGSC chemotherapy resistance.
