    Insights

    This study on colorectal cancer progression has been retracted due to image duplication and unauthorized submission. The original research explored the role of SSRP1 and miR-28-5p in cancer development.

    Area of Science:

    • Molecular oncology
    • Cancer biology

    Context:

    • Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a significant global health concern.
    • Understanding the molecular mechanisms driving CRC progression is crucial for developing effective therapies.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the role of SSRP1 in promoting colorectal cancer progression.
    • To explore the regulatory relationship between SSRP1 and miR-28-5p in CRC.

    Summary:

    • The article investigated the role of SSRP1 in promoting colorectal cancer (CRC) progression and its regulation by miR-28-5p.
    • Retraction was issued due to image duplication, data from another project being included, and submission without co-author consent.

    Impact:

    • This retraction highlights the importance of data integrity and ethical considerations in scientific publishing.
    • It underscores the need for rigorous verification of data and proper authorship acknowledgment in research.

    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,...

    MicroRNAs01:22

    MicroRNAs

    MicroRNA (miRNA) are short, regulatory RNA transcribed from introns (non-coding regions of a gene) or intergenic regions (stretches of DNA present between genes). Several processing steps are required to form biologically active, mature miRNA. The initial transcript, called primary miRNA (pri-mRNA), base-pairs with itself, forming a stem-loop structure. Within the nucleus, an endonuclease enzyme, called Drosha, shortens the stem-loop structure into hairpin-shaped pre-miRNA. After the pre-miRNA...

    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...

    Negative Regulator Molecules

    Positive regulators allow a cell to advance through cell cycle checkpoints. Negative regulators have an equally important role as they terminate a cell’s progression through the cell cycle—or pause it—until the cell meets specific criteria.

    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...

    Receptor Downregulation in MVBs01:15

    Receptor Downregulation in MVBs

    Multivesicular bodies (MVBs) are mature endosomes that sort ubiquitinated proteins and then fuse with lysosomes to degrade the sorted proteins. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) and its receptor (EGFR) form a complex that can be internalized through endocytosis, sorted into an MVB, and later degraded.
    The EGFR can initiate signaling pathways that  lead to cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation. Overexpression of EGFR  stimulates cells to proliferate. Excessive  EGFR...
