Yan ZW, Liu YN, Xu Q, Yuan Y. Current trends and hotspots of depressive disorders with colorectal cancer: A bibliometric and visual study. World J Gastrointest Oncol 2024; 16:3687-3704. [PMID: 39171183 PMCID: PMC11334043 DOI: 10.4251/wjgo.v16.i8.3687] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2024] [Revised: 05/26/2024] [Accepted: 06/17/2024] [Indexed: 08/07/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression is strongly associated with colorectal cancer (CRC). Few bibliometric analyses have systematically summarized the research focus and recent progress in this field. AIM To determine the research status and hotspots by bibliometric analysis of relevant publications on the relationship between CRC and depression. METHODS Articles on depression in CRC patients were collected from the Web of Science Core Collection. CiteSpace and VOSviewer software were used to visualize bibliometric networks. RESULTS From 2001 to 2022, Supportive Care in Cancer, the United States, Tilburg University, and Mols were the most productive and influential journal, country, institution, and author name. Co-occurrence cluster analysis of keywords placed quality of life, anxiety, and psychological stress in the center of the visual network diagram. Further clustering was performed for the clusters with studies of the relevant mechanism of action, which showed that: (1) Cytokines have a role essential for the occurrence and development of depressive disorders in CRC; (2) MicroRNAs have a role essential for the development of depressive disorders in CRC; (3) Some anticancer drugs have pro-depressant activity; and (4) Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors have both antitumor and antidepressant activity. CONCLUSION Life quality and psychological nursing of the cancer population were key topics. The roles of cytokines and microRNAs, the pro-depression activity of anticancer drugs and their antitumor properties deserve in-depth study.

[PMID: 37088808 PMCID: PMC10124011 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-023-10832-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2022] [Accepted: 04/11/2023] [Indexed: 04/25/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) are critical regulators of the biological activities of insulin-like growth factors. The IGFBP family plays diverse roles in different types of cancer, which we still lack comprehensive and pleiotropic understandings so far. METHODS Multi-source and multi-dimensional data, extracted from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Oncomine, Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE), and the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) was used for bioinformatics analysis by R language. Immunohistochemistry and qRT-PCR were performed to validate the results of the database analysis results. Bibliometrics and literature review were used for summarizing the research progress of IGFBPs in the field of tumor. RESULTS The members of IGFBP gene family are differentially expressed in various cancer types. IGFBPs expression can affect prognosis of different cancers. The expression of IGFBPs expression is associated with multiple signal transduction pathways. The expression of IGFBPs is significantly correlated with tumor mutational burden, microsatellite instability, tumor stemness and tumor immune microenvironment. The qRT-PCR experiments verified the lower expression of IGFBP2 and IGFBP6 in gastric cancer and the lower expression of IGFBP6 in colorectal cancer. Immunohistochemistry validated a marked downregulation of IGFBP2 protein in gastric cancer tissues. The keywords co-occurrence analysis of IGFBP related publications in cancer showed relative research have been more concentrating on the potential of IGFBPs as tumor diagnostic and prognostic markers and developing cancer therapies. CONCLUSIONS These findings provide frontier trend of IGFBPs related research and new clues for identifying novel therapeutic targets for various cancers.

Abstract
Cervical cancer is among the most frequently occurring neoplasms worldwide, and it particularly affects individuals in developing countries. Factors such as the low quality of screening tests, the high incidence of locally advanced cancer stages and the intrinsic resistance of certain tumors are the main causes of failure in the treatment of this neoplasm. Due to advances in the understanding of carcinogenic mechanisms and bioengineering research, advanced biological nanomaterials have been manufactured. The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system comprises multiple growth factor receptors, including IGF receptor 1. These receptors are activated by binding to their respective growth factor ligands, IGF-1 and IGF-2, and insulin, and play an important role in the development, maintenance, progression, survival and treatment resistance of cervical cancer. In the present review, the role of the IGF system in cervical cancer and three nanotechnological applications that use elements of this system are described, namely Trap decoys, magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles and protein nanotubes. Their use in the treatment of resistant cervical cancer tumors is also discussed.

[PMID: 35995234 DOI: 10.1016/j.mvr.2022.104423] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2022] [Revised: 08/08/2022] [Accepted: 08/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Circulating insulin-like growth factor binding protein 2 (IGFBP-2) is associated with metabolic changes in both physiological and pathological conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between IGFBP-2 related immunoreactivity in serum and arterial stiffness in a healthy Chinese population. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, 360 healthy participants aged 37-87 years were recruited from 1500 and were divided into three groups according to serum IGFBP-2 related immunoreactivity (Tertile I, 25.437 ng/ml-120.870 ng/ml; Tertile II, 120.871 ng/ml-161.914 ng/ml; Tertile III, 161.915 ng/ml-321.636 ng/ml). Arterial stiffness was evaluated by measuring the brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), ankle-brachial index (ABI), and carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT). The association between IGFBP-2 related immunoreactivity and arterial stiffness was estimated by multiple stepwise regression. RESULTS Compared with the other two groups population, the individuals in Tertile I had significantly older age (62.66 ± 13.30 years, P < 0.01), lower level of triglyceride (1.08 ± 0.70 mmol/l, P < 0.01) and E/A (peak velocity of early filling and preak velocity of atrial filling ratio) (0.90 ± 0.33, P < 0.05). IGFBP-2 related immunoreactivity was inversely related with baPWV in the total population (r = -0.171, P < 0.01) and in Tertile I (r = -0.275, P < 0.01). After adjusting for age and the other confounders, no association was found between IGFBP-2 related immunoreactivity and baPWV in the total population. However, In Tertile I, reduced IGFBP-2 related immunoreactivity in serum was an independent risk factor of baPWV acceleration in three different adjustment models: Model 1 (no adjustment, P < 0.01), Model 2 (adjusted for age, P < 0.05), and Model 3 (adjusted for all variables, P < 0.05). CONCLUSION IGFBP-2 related immunoreactivity in serum is inversely associated with baPWV in a healthy Chinese population. This association did not change after adjustment for conventional risk factors for cardiovascular diseases in the subjects with the lowest IGFBP-2 related immunoreactivity. Consequently, reduction of IGFBP-2 related immunoreactivity may be a predictor of arterial stiffness. IGFBP-2 seems to be a potential intervention target in early atherosclerosis.

Liu H, Zhang L, Ding X, Sui X. LINC00861 inhibits the progression of cervical cancer cells by functioning as a ceRNA for miR‑513b‑5p and regulating the PTEN/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. Mol Med Rep 2020; 23:24. [PMID: 33179755 PMCID: PMC7673320 DOI: 10.3892/mmr.2020.11662] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2020] [Accepted: 10/01/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Long non‑coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been discovered to serve important roles in a variety of types of cancer, including cervical cancer. The low expression of lncRNA long intergenic non‑protein coding RNA 861 (LINC00861) is related to poor prognosis in ovarian cancer. However, the effects and underlying mechanisms of LINC00861 in cervical cancer remain largely unknown. The present study aimed to examine the role of LINC00861 in the development and progression of ovarian cancer and its underlying mechanisms. The expression levels of LINC00861 and microRNA (miR)‑513b‑5p were analyzed using reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR analysis. Cell proliferation, migration and invasion were measured by using Cell Counting Kit‑8, colony formation, wound healing and Transwell assays, respectively. A luciferase assay was used to determine whether miR‑513b‑5p targeted LINC00861 and PTEN. The expression of protein was measured by using western blot assay. The results of the present study discovered that LINC00861 expression levels were significantly downregulated in cervical cancer tissues and CaSki and ME‑180 cell lines. Downregulated LINC00861 expression levels were identified to be associated with an advanced‑stage, lymph node metastasis and the poor survival of patients with cervical cancer. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis revealed that the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway was significantly enriched in cervical tumors expressing low expression levels of LINC00861 compared with tumors expressing high levels of LINC00861. The overexpression of LINC00861 reduced cervical cancer cell proliferation, migration, invasion and epithelial‑mesenchymal transition (EMT) processes, upregulated PTEN protein expression levels and downregulated phosphorylated (p)‑AKT and p‑mTOR protein expression levels. The regulatory relationship between LINC00861, microRNA (miR)‑513b‑5p and PTEN was validated using a dual luciferase reporter gene assay. PTEN expression levels were significantly downregulated in the miR‑513b‑5p mimic group and significantly upregulated in the miR‑513b‑5p inhibitor group compared with the mimic NC and inhibitor NC in both cell lines. Furthermore, LINC00861 was suggested to serve as a competing endogenous RNA by sponging miR‑513b‑5p and consequently upregulating the expression levels of PTEN in cervical cancer cells. The expression of PTEN, the phosphorylation of Akt and mTOR and and the EMT phenotype were rescued following co‑transfection with LINC00861 and miR‑513b‑5p mimics. In conclusion, the findings of the present study indicated that the LINC00861/miR‑513b‑5p axis may inhibit the progression of cervical cancer cells through the PTEN/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway to suppress the EMT process.
