Abstract
Esophageal cancer (EC) is an extremely aggressive malignant tumor. Homeobox A10 (HOXA10) is highly expressed and plays an important role in a variety of tumors. However, the function of HOXA10 in EC remains unclear. In this study, HOXA10 was observed to highly express in EC tissues and cells. Interestingly, the CCK-8 assay, flow cytometry, and colony formation assay confirmed that overexpression of HOXA10 promoted proliferation and suppressed cell apoptosis in EC cells. More importantly, the western blot assay indicated that the phosphorylation levels of ERK and p38 were elevated in EC cells overexpressed HOXA10, indicating that overexpression of HOXA10 activated p38/ERK signaling pathway in EC cells. These findings concluded that HOXA10 aggravated EC progression via activating p38/ERK signaling pathway, providing a potential therapeutic target for EC.

Abstract
Placenta-specific trophoblast and tumor cells exhibit many common characteristics. Trophoblast cells invade maternal tissues while being tolerated by the maternal immune system. Similarly, tumor cells can invade surrounding tissues and escape the immune system. Importantly, both trophoblast and tumor cells are supported by an abetting microenvironment, which influences invasion, angiogenesis, and immune tolerance/evasion, among others. However, in contrast to tumor cells, the metabolic, proliferative, migrative, and invasive states of trophoblast cells are under tight regulatory control. In this review, we provide an overview of similarities and dissimilarities in regulatory processes that drive trophoblast and tumor cell fate, particularly focusing on the role of the abetting microenvironments.

+HOXA10-AS Promotes Malignant Phenotypes of Gastric Cancer via Upregulating HOXA10. COMPUTATIONAL AND MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN MEDICINE 2022; 2022:1846687. [PMID: 35222681 PMCID: PMC8866012 DOI: 10.1155/2022/1846687] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2021] [Revised: 12/16/2021] [Accepted: 12/29/2021] [Indexed: 12/07/2022]
Abstract
Objective To study the role of long noncoding RNA HOXA10-AS in gastric cancer (GC) and its underlying mechanism which is one of the most common and fetal malignancies. Long noncoding RNA HOXA10-AS is highly expressed and acts in an oncogenic role in cancers. However, its roles in GC are still unknown. Methods The expression of HOXA10-AS and HOXA10 in GC tissues from the TCGA database was analyzed. Western blot and qRT-PCR assays were applied to examine the expression of HOXA10-AS and HOXA10. Cell proliferation was evaluated with CCK-8 and EdU incorporation assays. Cell apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry. Migratory and invasive capacities were evaluated with wound healing and transwell assays. Results HOXA10-AS and HOXA10 were upregulated in GC, and their expressions were positively correlated. Knockdown of HOXA10-AS inhibited HOXA10 expression in GC cells. Furthermore, knockdown of HOXA10-AS restrained GC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion but promoted apoptosis. In addition, overexpression of HOXA10-AS promoted malignant phenotypes of GC cells, but all these effects could be reversed by knockdown of HOXA10. Conclusion HOXA10-AS promoted GC cell proliferation, migration and invasion and enhanced apoptosis via upregulating HOXA10. Our study implies a novel regulatory mechanism of malignant phenotypes and provides potential therapeutic targets for GC.

Abstract
Immunostaining in clinical routine and research highly depends on standardized staining methods and quantitative image analyses. We qualitatively and quantitatively compared antigen retrieval methods (no pretreatment, pretreatment with pepsin, and heat-induced pretreatment with pH 6 or pH 9) for 17 antibodies relevant for placenta and implantation diagnostics and research. Using our newly established, comprehensive automated quantitative image analysis approach, fluorescent signal intensities were evaluated. Automated quantitative image analysis found that 9 out of 17 antibodies needed antigen retrieval to show positive staining. Heat induction proved to be the most efficient form of antigen retrieval. Eight markers stained positive after pepsin digestion, with β-hCG and vWF showing enhanced staining intensities. To avoid the misinterpretation of quantitative image data, the qualitative aspect should always be considered. Results from native placental tissue were compared with sections of a placental invasion model based on thermo-sensitive scaffolds. Immunostaining on placentas in vitro leads to new insights into fetal development and maternal pathophysiological pathways, as pregnant women are justifiably excluded from clinical studies. Thus, there is a clear need for the assessment of reliable immunofluorescent staining and pretreatment methods. Our evaluation offers a powerful tool for antibody and pretreatment selection in placental research providing objective and precise results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Expression dysregulation of HOX homeobox genes has been observed in several cancers, including head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC). Although characterization of HOX gene roles in HNSC development has been reported, there is still a need to better understand their real contribution to tumorigenesis. OBJECTIVE The present study aimed to evaluate the contribution of the protein-coding HOX genes (HOXA10, HOXC9, HOXC10, and HOXC13) in cellular processes related to carcinogenesis and progression of the HNSC. METHODS Expression of HOX genes was analyzed in HNSC RNA-Seq data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and by RT-qPCR in different tumor cell lines. siRNA-mediated knockdown of HOXA10, HOXC9, HOXC10 or HOXC13 was performed in HNSC cell lines, and predicted transcriptional targets HOX genes was analyzed by bioinformatic. RESULTS Thirty-one out of the 39 mammalian HOX genes were found upregulated in HNSC tissues and cell lines. The HOXC9, HOXC10 or HOXC13 knockdown attenuated cell migration, and lead to downregulation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers, which were predicted as transcriptional targets of these three HOX genes. Diminished colony formation and cell cycle arrest after HOXC10 or HOXC13 knockdown were also observed, corroborating the fact that there was an enrichment for genes in proliferation/cell cycle pathways. CONCLUSIONS In summary, we revealed roles for HOXC9, HOXC10, and HOXC13 in cell migration and proliferation/cell cycle progression in HNSC cells and suggested that those HOX members contribute to HNSC development possibly by regulating tumor growth and metastasis.

Abstract
Homeobox (HOX) genes encode highly conserved homeotic transcription factors that play a crucial role in organogenesis and tissue homeostasis. Their deregulation impacts the function of several regulatory molecules contributing to tumor initiation and progression. A functional bridge exists between altered gene expression of individual HOX genes and tumorigenesis. This review focuses on how deregulation in the HOX-associated signaling pathways contributes to the metastatic progression in cancer. We discuss their functional significance, clinical implications and ascertain their role as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in the various cancer types. Besides, the mechanism of understanding the theoretical underpinning that affects HOX-mediated therapy resistance in cancers has been outlined. The knowledge gained shall pave the way for newer insights into the treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Objectives HOXD3 is associated with progression of multiple types of cancer. This study aimed to identify the association of YY1 with HOXD3‐ITGA2 axis in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma. Materials and Methods Bioinformatics assay was used to identify the effect of YY1, HOXD3 and ITGA2 expression in HCC tissues. The function of YY1 and HOXD3 in HCCs was determined by qRT‐PCR, MTT, apoptosis, Western blotting, colony formation, immunohistochemistry, and wound‐healing and transwell invasion assays. The relationship between YY1 and HOXD3 or HOXD3 and ITGA2 was explored by RNA‐Seq, ChIP‐PCR, dual luciferase reports and Pearson's assays. The interactions between YY1 and HDAC1 were determined by immunofluorescence microscopy and Co‐IP. Results Herein, we showed that the expression of YY1, HOXD3 and ITGA2 associated with the histologic and pathologic stages of HCC. Moreover, YY1, recruiting HDAC1, can directly target HOXD3 to regulate progression of HCCs. The relationship between YY1 and HOXD3 was unknown until uncovered by our present investigation. Furthermore, HOXD3 bound to promoter region of ITGA2 and up‐regulated the expression, thus activating the ERK1/2 signalling and inducing HCCs proliferation, metastasis and migration in the vitro and vivo. Conclusions Therefore, HOXD3, a target of YY1, facilitates HCC progression via activation of the ERK1/2 signalling by promoting ITGA2. This finding provides a new whole way to HCC therapy by serving YY1‐HOXD3‐ITGA2 regulatory axis as a potential therapeutic target for HCC therapy.
