Objectives: This research aimed to study the expression of PRDX6 mRNA in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and its effect on the prognosis of HCC. Moreover, the effect of PRDX6 gene knockdown on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of HepG2 cells mediated by lentivirus was also examined. This study offers a theoretical and experimental basis for further research on the mechanism of PRDX6 in liver cancer and n Read More

Background: Altered cytokine levels have been associated with poor outcomes among COVID-19 patients. TNF-α, IL-8 and IL-10 are key cytokines in COVID-19 pathogenesis, and CXCR-2 is a major chemokine receptor involved in inflammatory response. Polymorphisms in the genes of these proteins are proposed to influence disease outcomes. In this study, we aimed to find out the association of genetic polymorphisms in TN Read More

Objectives: Specific methylation sites have shown promise in the early diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). However, their utility in predicting LUAD prognosis remains unclear. This study aimed to construct a reliable methylation-based predictor for accurately predicting the prognosis of LUAD patients. Methods: DNA methylation data and survival data from LUAD patients were obtained from the TCGA and a GEO series. A Read More

Introduction: Colorectal cancers are the world’s third most commonly diagnosed type of cancer. Currently, there are several diagnostic and treatment options to combat it. However, a delay in detection of the disease is life-threatening. Additionally, a thorough analysis of the exomes of cancers reveals potential variation data that can be used for early disease prognosis. Methods: By utilizing a comprehensive computatio Read More
