  • Oncology

Background:

  • Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) with stable structures and specific expression patterns.
  • circRNAs play roles in biological functions by interacting with microRNAs, regulating transcription, or binding proteins.
  • Abnormal circRNA expression is linked to various human cancers, influencing tumor progression.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the expression and mechanisms of circ_0007534 in malignant tumors.
  • To highlight circ_0007534's potential as a diagnostic marker and therapeutic target in oncology.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of domestic and international studies.
  • Analysis of circRNA expression patterns in various cancers.
  • Investigation of circRNA involvement in tumor biological processes.

Main Results:

  • circ_0007534 is significantly upregulated in colorectal, cervical, and pancreatic cancers.
  • This specific circRNA is associated with the occurrence, development, and prognosis of these tumors.
  • circ_0007534 demonstrates potential as a novel tumor marker and therapeutic target.

Conclusions:

  • circRNAs, including circ_0007534, are critically involved in cancer development and progression.

Targeted Cancer Therapies02:57

Targeted Cancer Therapies

The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.
There are several types of targeted therapies against...

Cancer-Critical Genes I: Proto-oncogenes

Genes usually encode proteins necessary for the proper functioning of a healthy cell. Mutations can often cause changes to the gene expression pattern, thereby altering the phenotype.
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.

The Retinoblastoma Gene01:20

The Retinoblastoma Gene

Tumor suppressor genes are normal genes that can slow down cell division, repair DNA mistakes, or program the cells for apoptosis in case of irreparable damage. Hence, they play an essential role in preventing the proliferation of damaged cells.
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...

Abnormal Proliferation02:23

Abnormal Proliferation

Under normal conditions, most adult cells remain in a non-proliferative state unless stimulated by internal or external factors to replace lost cells. Abnormal cell proliferation is a condition in which the cell's growth exceeds and is uncoordinated with normal cells. In such situations, cell division persists in the same excessive manner even after cessation of the stimuli, leading to persistent tumors. The tumor arises from the damaged cells that replicate to pass the damage to the...

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression03:03

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression

The mammalian target of rapamycin or mTOR protein was discovered in 1994 due to its direct interaction with rapamycin. The protein gets its name from a yeast homolog called TOR. The mTOR protein complex in mammalian cells plays a major role in balancing anabolic processes such as the synthesis of proteins, lipids, and nucleotides and catabolic processes, such as autophagy in response to environmental cues, such as availability of nutrients and growth factors.
The mTOR pathway or the...
