Background: Interleukin 13 receptor subunit alpha 2 (IL13RA2) plays an essential role in the progression of many cancers. However, the role of IL13RA2 in infantile haemangioma (IH) is still unknown.
Materials and methods: IL13RA2 expression in IH tissues was analyzed using western blot, qRT-PCR, and immunofluorescence. The role of IL13RA2 in haemangioma-derived endothelial cells (HemECs) was determined following knockdown or overexpression of IL13RA2 using CCK-8, colony formation, apoptosis, wound healing, tubule formation, Transwell, and western blot.
Results: IL13RA2 expression was upregulated in IH tissues. IL13RA2 overexpression promoted proliferation, migration, and invasion of HemECs and induced glycolysis, which was confirmed with a glycolysis inhibitor. Specifically, IL13RA2 interacted with β-catenin and activated the Wnt/β-catenin pathway in HemECs, which were involved in the above-mentioned effects of IL13RA2.
Conclusions: These findings revealed that targeting IL13RA2 is a potential therapeutic approach for IH.
背景:白细胞介素13受体亚基α2(IL13RA2)在许多癌症的发展过程中起着至关重要的作用。然而,IL13RA2在婴儿血管瘤(IH)中的作用尚不清楚:采用Western印迹、qRT-PCR和免疫荧光分析了IL13RA2在IH组织中的表达。通过CCK-8、菌落形成、细胞凋亡、伤口愈合、小管形成、Transwell和Western blot检测IL13RA2被敲除或过表达后在血管瘤衍生内皮细胞(HemECs)中的作用:结果:IL13RA2在IH组织中表达上调。结果:IL13RA2 在 IH 组织中表达上调,IL13RA2 的过表达促进了血液活细胞的增殖、迁移和侵袭,并诱导了糖酵解,糖酵解抑制剂证实了这一点。具体而言,IL13RA2与β-catenin相互作用,激活了血红素细胞中的Wnt/β-catenin通路,而Wnt/β-catenin通路参与了IL13RA2的上述作用:这些发现揭示了以IL13RA2为靶点是治疗IH的一种潜在方法。

Resveratrol (RSV), the primary polyphenol found in grapes, has been revealed to have anti-inflammatory properties by reducing the capacity of the peripheral blood mononuclear cells to produce pro-inflammatory cytokines, including IL-1β, IL-6, IL-1ra and TNFα. Considering the close association between chronic inflammation and cancer development, RSV's immunomodulatory properties are one way by which the polyphenol may inhibit cancer initiation, proliferation, neovascularization, and migration. Resveratrol influences the generation of microtumor environment which is one of the key factors in cancer progress. In addition to immunomodulation, RSV inhibits cancer development by expressing anti-oxidant effects, causing cell cycle arrest, stimulating the function of certain enzymes, and activating cell signaling pathways. The end outcome is one of the various forms of cell death, including apoptosis, pyroptosis, necroptosis, and more, as it has been observed in vitro. RSV has been shown to act against cancer in practically every organ, while its effects on colon cancer have been documented more frequently. It is remarkable that longer-term clinical studies that may have established the potential for this natural substance to serve as a therapeutic adjuvant to traditional anti-cancer medications were not prompted by the encouraging outcomes seen with cancer cells treated with non-toxic doses of resveratrol. The current review aims to assess the recent findings about the immunological and anti-cancer characteristics of RSV, with a particular emphasis on cancers of the digestive tract, as a challenge for future clinical research that may contribute to the better prognosis of cancer.

Objectives: The pro-oncogenic effects of NCAPD2 have been extensively studied across various tumor types; however, its precise role within the context of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains elusive. This study aims to elucidate the biological functions of NCAPD2 in LUAD and unravel the underlying mechanistic pathways.
Methods: Utilizing bioinformatics methodologies, we explored the differential expression of NCAPD2 between normal and tumor samples, along with its correlations with clinical-pathological characteristics, survival prognosis, and immune infiltration.
Results: In the TCGA-LUAD dataset, tumor samples demonstrated significantly elevated levels of NCAPD2 expression compared to normal samples (p < 0.001). Clinically, higher NCAPD2 expression was notably associated with advanced T, N, and M stages, pathologic stage, gender, smoking status, and diminished overall survival (OS). Moreover, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with NCAPD2 were predominantly enriched in pathways related to cell division. Immune infiltration analysis revealed that NCAPD2 expression levels were linked to the infiltration of memory B cells, naïve CD4+ T cells, activated memory CD4+ T cells, and M1 macrophages. In vitro experiments demonstrated that silencing NCAPD2 suppressed LUAD cell proliferation, migration, invasion, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and cell cycle progression.
Conclusions: In summary, NCAPD2 may represent a promising prognostic biomarker and novel therapeutic target for LUAD.

Objectives: Thyroid cancer (THCA) is the most common malignant tumor in endocrine system and the incidence has been increasing worldwide. And the number of patients dying from THCA has also gradually risen because the incidence continues to increase, so the mechanisms related to effective targets is necessary to improve the survival. This study was to preliminarily investigate the effects of the COL4A2 gene on the regulation of thyroid cancer (THCA) cell proliferation and the associated pathways.
Methods: Bioinformatics analysis revealed that COL4A2 was closely associated with cancer development. COL4A2 expression in THCA tissues was analyzed using immunohistochemistry, and survival information was determined via Kaplan‒Meier curves. The expression of COL4A2 and AKT pathway-related genes were analyzed using qPCR and western blot analyses. Colony formation as well as CCK-8 assays exhibited the cell proliferation level and cell activity, respectively. Downstream of COL4A2 was identified by Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA). The effects of the COL4A2 and AKT pathways on THCA tumor growth in vivo were determined using a mouse model.
Results: Bioinformatics analysis exhibited that COL4A2 plays a significant role in cancer and that the AKT pathway is downstream of COL4A2. THCA patients with high COL4A2 expression had shorter recurrence-free survival. Upregulation of COL4A2 gene expression in 2 THCA cell lines promoted tumor cell growth and activity. The use of AKT pathway blockers also restrained the growth and activity of the 2 THCA cell lines. The use of AKT pathway blockers reduced tumor volume and mass and prolonged mouse survival.
Conclusions: COL4A2 can promote the growth as well as development of THCA through the AKT pathway and COL4A2 could be used as a target for THCA.
