Ovarian cancer ranks 7th among the most common cancer types affecting women worldwide. A number of studies have confirmed that multiple long non-coding RNAs participate in the occurrence and progression of ovarian cancer. Small nucleolar RNA host gene 9 (SNHG9) serves a role in the progression of glioblastoma and pancreatic cancer. However, the spe...

Huntingtin interacting protein 1 (HIP1) is overexpressed in several human malignancies. However, the biological function of HIP1 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), and its effect on the prognosis of patients remain unclear. The present study aimed to investigate HIP1 expression in ESCC via immunohistochemistry, reverse transcription-quan...

Accumulating evidence has indicated that corosolic acid exerts anti-diabetic, anti-obesity, anti-inflammatory, anti-hyperlipidemic and anti-viral effects. More importantly, corosolic acid has recently attracted much attention due to its anticancer properties and innocuous effects on normal cells. Furthermore, the increasing proportion of obese and/...

Atorvastatin is a competitive inhibitor of β-hydroxy β-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase, which is involved in anticancer effects in numerous types of cancer, including in human liver cancer. However, its functions and underlying mechanisms of chemosensitivity in liver cancer remain to be elucidated. The present study investigated the effect of atorvast...

The relationship between nuclear factor I/B (NFIB) and cancer attracts growing research interest. NFIB has diverse and specific roles in tumor progression and invasion. However, the potential effects and functions of this transcription factor in melanoma remain unclear. The present study sought to determine the distinguishing properties of NFIB in ...

A majority of cervical cancers are squamous cell carcinomas, arising from the squamous (flattened) epithelial cells that line the cervix. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a unique class of messenger RNA-like transcripts of at least 200 nucleotides in length with no significant protein-coding capacity. Aberrant lncRNA expression is emerging as a ma...

MMP9 is involved in extracellular matrix degradation during various physiological and pathological conditions, including tumorigenesis. The present study aimed to assess the prognostic role of intratumoral MMP9 and to determine its association with circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in patients with early breast cancer. A total of 318 patients with pri...

The present study aimed to identify the specific microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) and their corresponding target genes involved in hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs). Microarray analysis was performed to examine the miRNA expression profiles of four paired HCC and corresponding non-cancerous (N) liver tissues using 985 miRNA probes. The Human miRNA Target dat...

Poor drug efficacy is a prominent cause of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) treatment failure. Although increased efforts in developing OSCC therapeutic strategies have been achieved in recent decades, the 5-year survival rate of patients with OSCC remains poor and effective drugs to treat OSCC are lacking. The aim of the present study was to in...
