    Abstract Background: Breast cancer (BC) has been identified as a significant contributor to the rising number of female cancer deaths. As, it has become clear that breast cancer development depends on the interplay of several biological factors against a single molecule. This research aimed to use proteomics to gain a regulatory and metabolic understanding of BC pathophysiology.
    Method: For the study, a breast cancer proteomics dataset was downloaded from ProteomeXchange and then analyzed by employing MaxQuant and Perseus. Functional enrichment analysis through Metascape and Cytoscape software showed DEPs related biomedical phenomena with potential abruption. The expression of selected lncRNA in terms of the highest connectivity parameters was then quantitatively assessed through RT-PCR in 30 tumor tissues of breast cancer patients, as compared to the adjacent healthy ones.
    Result: The results indicated that among the 3048 identified proteins, 1149 were differentially expressed, which could be mainly enriched in several key terms. Furthermore, the obtained findings revealed that ITGB1-DT was significantly overexpressed in tumor tissues. Moreover, we found five potential compounds that could be attributed to ITGB1-DT targets (ATN-161, Firategrast, SB-683698, dabigatran-etexilate, and tranexamic-acid).
    Conclusion: These analyses proposed that ITGB1-DT could be employed as a differentiated factor to identify breast tumor tissues in healthy samples. Besides this, Firategrast could be introduced as a potential remedial agent for breast cancer patients. Overall, from the analysis of a proteomics dataset, an integrative map was generated, and a novel biomarker that may have been implicated in the early detection of BC was introduced.

    Abstract Over the last four decades, methodological innovations have continuously changed transcriptome profiling. It is now feasible to sequence and quantify the transcriptional outputs of individual cells or thousands of samples using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). These transcriptomes serve as a connection between cellular behaviors and their underlying molecular mechanisms, such as mutations. This relationship, in the context of cancer, provides a chance to unravel tumor complexity and heterogeneity and uncover novel biomarkers or treatment options. Since colon cancer is one of the most frequent malignancies, its prognosis and diagnosis seem to be critical. The transcriptome technology is developing for an earlier and more accurate diagnosis of cancer which can provide better protectivity and prognostic utility to medical teams and patients. A transcriptome is a whole set of expressed coding and non-coding RNAs in an individual or cell population. The cancer transcriptome includes RNA-based changes. The combined genome and transcriptome of a patient may provide a comprehensive picture of their cancer, and this information is beginning to affect treatment decision-making in real-time. A full assessment of the transcriptome of colon (colorectal) cancer has been assessed in this review paper based on risk factors such as age, obesity, gender, alcohol use, race, and also different stages of cancer, as well as non-coding RNAs like circRNAs, miRNAs, lncRNAs, and siRNAs. Similarly, they have been examined independently in the transcriptome study of colon cancer.

    Abstract Introduction: ECG data play an important role in the diagnostics of various cardiovascular diseases. Classification of multi-lead ECG signals could be challenging even for well-trained physicians. In this study we propose a new approach for multi-lead ECG classification. Method: Five-types of 15-lead ECG data namely healthy control, bundle branch block, cardiomyopathy, Dysrhythmia, and myocardial infarction patients from two types of datasets, 5319 and 6647 heartbeats from Baqiyatallah and PTB Diagnostic ECG database, were used, respectively. One-dimensional total variation regularization was used to denoising ECG data. Heartbeats were extracted by one cardiologist and saved as images with jpg format. Histogram of oriented gradients method was used to extract feature of images. for classification task support vector machine and fully connected neural network were used. Five-fold cross validation was used for validating the models. Result: For 15-lead ECG PTB Diagnostic database, the best classification models are SVM model with cubic (accuracy: 99.9%, Range: 99.77% - 100%) and quadratic (accuracy: 99.88%, Range: 99.77%-100%) kernel function, for this dataset fully connected accuracy is 99.4% with range of 99.02%- 99.70%. Regarding to the Baqyatallah dataset SVM with cubic (accuracy: 99.83%, Range:99.72%-100%) and quadratic (accuracy: 99.77%, Range: 99.62%-99.9%) were the best classification model and the accuracy for fully connected neural network was 99.1% with the range of 98.59%-99.62% based on HOG descriptors. Expected sigmodal kernel all classification method have accuracy more than 99%. Discussion: simultaneous use of HOG feature extraction method and appropriate classification algorithm such as SVM or fully connected neural network can classify 15-lead ECG heart-beat for different heart disease with high accuracy and adding other relevant patients’ information can be easily done in order to increase the method performance.

    Abstract High mobility group A 2 (HMGA2) is a protein that modulates the structure of chromatin in the nucleus. Importantly, aberrant expression of HMGA2 occurs during carcinogenesis, and this protein is an upstream mediator of cancer hallmarks including evasion of apoptosis, proliferation, invasion, metastasis, and therapy resistance. HMGA2 targets critical signaling pathways such as Wnt/β-catenin and mTOR in cancer cells. Therefore, suppression of HMGA2 function notably decreases cancer progression and improves outcome in patients. As HMGA2 is mainly oncogenic, targeting expression by non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) is crucial to take into consideration since it affects HMGA2 function. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) belong to ncRNAs and are master regulators of vital cell processes, which affect all aspects of cancer hallmarks. Long ncRNAs (lncRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs), other members of ncRNAs, are upstream mediators of miRNAs. The current review intends to discuss the importance of the miRNA/HMGA2 axis in modulation of various types of cancer, and mentions lncRNAs and circRNAs, which regulate this axis as upstream mediators. Finally, we discuss the effect of miRNAs and HMGA2 interactions on the response of cancer cells to therapy. Regarding the critical role of HMGA2 in regulation of critical signaling pathways in cancer cells, and considering the confirmed interaction between HMGA2 and one of the master regulators of cancer, miRNAs, targeting miRNA/HMGA2 axis in cancer therapy is promising and this could be the subject of future clinical trial experiments.

    Abstract Gastrointestinal (GI) tumors (cancers of the esophagus, gastric, liver, pancreas, colon, and rectum) contribute to a large number of deaths worldwide. STAT3 is an oncogenic transcription factor that promotes the transcription of genes associated with proliferation, antiapoptosis, survival, and metastasis. STAT3 is overactivated in many human malignancies including GI tumors which accelerates tumor progression, metastasis, and drug resistance. Research in recent years demonstrated that noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) play a major role in the regulation of many signaling pathways including the STAT3 pathway. The major types of endogenous ncRNAs that are being extensively studied in oncology are microRNAs, long noncoding RNAs, and circular RNAs. These ncRNAs can either be tumor-promoters or tumor-suppressors and each one of them imparts their activity via different mechanisms. The STAT3 pathway is also tightly modulated by ncRNAs. In this article, we have elaborated on the tumor-promoting role of STAT3 signaling in GI tumors. Subsequently, we have comprehensively discussed the oncogenic as well as tumor suppressor functions and mechanism of action of ncRNAs that are known to modulate STAT3 signaling in GI cancers.

    Abstract Introduction: Lung cancer is the most deadly and sumptuous cancer across the globe. Cancer occurrence is increasing progressively and there is no ideal cure yet. Therefore, new therapeutic areas are needed. The use of herbal extracts due to its properties such as antioxidant activity, anti-proliferative effect, and few side effects can be promising in the treatment of cancer. This study aimed to compare the effect of Echinophora platyloba DC. and Cordia myxa L extracts on apoptosis induction in A549 cancer cells.
    Materials and methods: In this experiment, the A549 cell line was first cultured in DMEM medium containing 10% FBS and then treated with different concentrations of both compounds. MTT assay was performed to determine IC50 and to compare the viability of cells treated with different concentrations of Echinophora platyloba DC. and Cordia myxa L seed on days 1, 3 and 5. QRT-PCR test was used to investigate the effects of Echinophora platyloba DC. and Cordia myxa L with IC50 on apoptosis induction.
    Results: MTT results showed that both plant extracts resulted in cell death and decreased viability of lung cancer cells. But the percentage of viability decreased by Echinophora platyloba DC. was more. Also, Echinophora platyloba DC. significantly increased the expression of Bax, P53 and Bad apoptotic genes and decreased the expression of Bcl2 gene, which induces apoptotic death and the cytotoxic effect of Echinophora platyloba DC. over Cordia myxa L.
    Conclusion: In comparing the effects of these two extracts Echinophora platyloba DC. was more effective than Cordia myxa L and had greater cytotoxicity on A549 cancerous cells in a lesser concentration and could be an appropriate drug candidate for the treatment of lung cancer.

    Abstract Background: Infertility is one of the major factors affecting most people around the world. Short-term exposure to high temperatures can cause hyperthermia, which is one of the causes of male infertility. The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effect of curcumin, vitamins D and E along with Iron (III) oxide nanoparticles (Fe2O3-NPs) and manganese oxide nanoparticles (MnO2-NPs) on semen parameters and its effect on miRNA21 and circRNA0001518 expression.
    Material and methods: In this study, the lower part of the rat was exposed to 43 °C for 5 weeks every other day for 5 weeks. Then the animals were killed. Tissue samples were collected for sperm parameters analysis, and tissue samples were taken for evaluation of apoptosis levels in germ cells, and RNA extraction in order to examine the expression of Bax, Bcl-2, miRNA, and CircRNA genes.
    Results: The results of this study showed that administration of curcumin, vitamin D, and vitamin E with Fe2O3-NPs and MnO2-NPs can improve the parameters of semen, Bax gene expression, Bcl-2 as well as miRNA and CircRNA in rats with testicular hyperthermia. In addition, curcumin by reducing the toxicity of Fe2O3 nanoparticles was able to reduce its negative effects and also reduce apoptosis in germ cells. This decrease in apoptosis was attributed to decreased Bcl-2 gene expression and increased expression of Bax, miRNA-21, and circRNA0001518.
    Conclusion: All the results of this study confirmed that Fe2O3-NPs and Mno2-NPs containing antioxidants or vitamins are useful in improving fertility in rats due to scrotal hyperthermia. Although Fe2O3-NPs and Mno2-NPs containing both antioxidants and vitamins had a greater effect on improving fertility and reducing the toxic effects of nanoparticles.

    Abstract The brain tumors and especially glioblastoma, are affecting life of many people worldwide and due to their high mortality and morbidity, their treatment is of importance and has gained attention in recent years. The abnormal expression of genes is commonly observed in GBM and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have demonstrated dysregulation in this tumor. LncRNAs have length more than 200 nucleotides and they have been located in cytoplasm and nucleus. The current review focuses on the role of lncRNAs in GBM. There two types of lncRNAs in GBM including tumor-promoting and tumor-suppressor lncRNAs and overexpression of oncogenic lncRNAs increases progression of GBM. LncRNAs can regulate proliferation, cell cycle arrest and metastasis of GBM cells. Wnt, STAT3 and EZH2 are among the molecular pathways affected by lncRNAs in GBM and for regulating metastasis of GBM cells, these RNA molecules mainly affect EMT mechanism. LncRNAs are involved in drug resistance and can induce resistance of GBM cells to temozolomide chemotherapy. Furthermore, lncRNAs stimulate radio-resistance in GBM cells. LncRNAs increase PD-1 expression to mediate immune evasion. LncRNAs can be considered as diagnostic and prognostic tools in GBM and researchers have developed signature from lncRNAs in GBM.

    Abstract Prostate cancer is the second most leading and prevalent malignancy around the world, following lung cancer. Prostate cancer is characterized by the uncontrolled growth of cells in the prostate gland. Prostate cancer morbidity and mortality have grown drastically, and intensive prostate cancer care is unlikely to produce adequate outcomes. The synthetic drugs for the treatment of prostate cancer in clinical practice face several challenges. Quercetin is a natural flavonoid found in fruits and vegetables. Apart from its beneficial effects, its plays a key role as an anti-cancer agent. Quercetin has shown anticancer potential, both alone and in combination. Therefore, the current study was designed to collect information from the literature regarding its therapeutic significance in the treatment of prostate cancer. Studies performed both in vitro and in vivo have confirmed that quercetin effectively prevents prostate cancer through different underlying mechanisms. Promising findings have also been achieved in clinical trials regarding the pharmacokinetics and human applications of quercetin. In the meantime, epidemiological studies have shown a negative correlation between the consumption of quercetin and the incidence of prostate cancer, and have indicated a chemopreventive effect of quercetin on prostate cancer in animal models. The major issues associated with quercetin are its low bioavailability and rapid metabolism, and these require priority attention. Chemoresistance is another main negative feature concerning prostate cancer treatment. This review highlights the chemotherapeutic effect, chemo preventive effect, and chemoresistance elimination potential of quercetin in prostate cancer. The underlying mechanisms for elimination of prostate cancer and eradication of resistance, either alone or in combination with other agents, are also discussed. In addition, the nanoscale delivery of quercetin is underpinned along with possible directions for future study.
