RESUMO

Purpose: GNG12 influences a variety of tumors; however, its relationship with glioma remains unclear. The aim of this study was to comprehensively investigate the relationship between GNG12 and the clinical characteristics and prognosis of glioma patients and reveal the mechanisms causing the malignant process of GNG12. Materials and Methods: We obtained information on clinical samples from multiple databases. The expression level of GNG12 was validated using a RT-qPCR and IHC. KM curves were used to assess the correlation between the GNG12 expression and OS of glioma patients. An ROC curve was drawn to assess the predictive performance of GNG12. Univariate and multivariate Cox analyses were performed to analyze the factors affecting the prognosis of patients with glioma. GSEA and TIMER databases were used to estimate the relationship between GNG12 expression, possible molecular mechanisms, and immune cell infiltration. CMap analysis was used to screen candidate drugs for glioma. Subsequent in vitro experiments were used to validate the proliferation and migration of glioma cells and to explore the potential mechanisms by which GNG12 causes poor prognosis in gliomas. Results: GNG12 was overexpressed in glioma patients and GNG12 expression level correlated closely with clinical features, including age and histological type, etc. Subsequently, the K-M survival analysis indicated that the expression level of GNG12 was relevant to the prognosis of glioma, and the ROC curve implied that GNG12 can predict glioma stability. Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that GNG12 represents a risk factor for glioma occurrence. GNG12 expression is closely associated with some immune cells. Additionally, several in vitro experiments demonstrated that down-regulation of GNG12 expression can inhibits the proliferation and migration capacity of glioma cells. Ultimately, the results for the GSEA and WB experiments revealed that GNG12 may promote the malignant progression of gliomas by regulating the cell adhesion molecule cell signaling pathway. Conclusion: In this study, we identified GNG12 as a novel oncogene elevated in gliomas. Reducing GNG12 expression inhibits the proliferation and migration of glioma cells. In summary, GNG12 can be used as a novel biomarker for the early diagnosis of human gliomas and as a potential therapeutic target.

RESUMO

Andrographis paniculata (A. paniculata) is a traditional herbal medicine that has been widely used in Asian countries for hundreds of years. Andrographolide (AG) is a diterpene lactone extracted from A. paniculata. Owing to the in-depth study of pharmacological mechanisms, the therapeutic potential of AG, including its anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and immunoregulatory attributes, has attracted the attention of many researchers. Studies testing the therapeutic effects of AG have demonstrated desirable results in the treatment of a variety of clinical diseases. With high safety and various biological functions, AG might be a promising candidate for the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. Here, we review all available literatures to summarize the pharmacological effects of AG and facilitate further researches on musculoskeletal diseases.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: GINS4, an indispensable component of the GINS complex, is vital for a variety of cancer. However, no known empirical research has focused on exploring relationships between GINS4 and glioma. Thus, this study aims to understand and explain the role of GINS4 in glioma. METHOD: First, we used the data in the CGGA, TCGA, GEO, GEPIA, and HPA databases to explore the expression level of GINS4 in glioma, the correlation between GINS4 expression and the clinical features of glioma, its impact on the survival of glioma patients, and verified the analysis results through RT-qPCR, IHC, and meta-analysis. Subsequently, GSEA enrichment analysis is used to find the potential molecular mechanism of GINS4 to promote the malignant process of glioma and the anti-glioma drugs that may target GINS4 screened by CMap analysis. Moreover, we further explored the influence of the GINS4 expression on the immune microenvironment of glioma patients through the TIMER database. RESULTS: Our results suggested that GINS4 was elevated in glioma, and the overexpression of GINS4 was connected with a vast number of clinical features. The next, GINS4 as an independent prognostic factor, which can result in an unfavorable prognosis of glioma. Once more, GINS4 may be participating in the oncogenesis of glioma through JAK-STAT signaling pathways, etc. 6-thioguanine, Doxazosin, and Emetine had potential value in the clinical application of drugs targeting GINS4. Finally, the expression exhibited a close relationship with some immune cells, especially Dendritic cells. CONCLUSION: GINS4 is an independent prognostic factor that led to a poor prognosis of glioma. The present study revealed the probable underlying molecular mechanisms of GINS4 in glioma and provided a potential target for improving the prognosis of glioma.

RESUMO

In recent years, major discoveries have indicated that Ras homology family member C (RHOC) is involved in the occurrence and pathological progression of a number of malignant tumours; nevertheless, the role served by RHOC in glioma remains unclear. The present study aimed to gain further insight into the biological function and expression of RHOC in human glioma based on the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA). The current study analysed ~1,000 glioma samples from the CGGA. First, RHOC expression was analysed according to the clinical features associated with the prognosis of glioma, such as clinical stage, histological type and age. Second, the Kaplan-Meier method was used, revealing that the survival rate of patients with glioma with high RHOC expression was significantly lower than that of patients with low RHOC expression. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis indicated that RHOC had moderate diagnostic value for patients with glioma. Gene set enrichment analysis indirectly indicated that RHOC mainly participated in the pathological mechanism of glioma through p53, extracellular matrix receptor interaction and focal adhesion. Finally, the aforementioned results were further verified using The Cancer Genome Atlas data and reverse transcription-quantitative PCR technology. To the best of our knowledge, the present study was the first comprehensive in-depth analysis of RHOC, revealing the potential value of RHOC as a novel oncogene in glioma. The current study provided a novel potential biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of glioma, and re-examined the pathological mechanism of glioma from a new perspective.
