Abstract

Background: Gene expression regulation is a method that cells utilize to enhance or decrease the output of specific genes (proteins or RNA). In biological and medical research such as cancer, gene expression is routinely observed. Survivin is a protein that is commonly produced in cancer cells and has the potential to be investigated. Survivin is a unique protein with two distinct roles: preventing apoptosis and regulating cell division. The inhibitory apoptosis protein (IAP) family includes the smallest member. Furthermore, Survivin is highly expressed in a variety of somatic stem cell types as well as human embryonic stem cells. Comparing most cancer cells to normal tissues, survivin is also present in higher amounts. This review aimed to examine the properties of survivin, how it is expressed in cancerous and normal stem cells, how it affects proliferation or apoptosis, and how to block their expression. Methods: The literature on the regulation of survivin expression in cancer cells and stem cells that was published in English between 2014 and 2024 is reviewed in this study. For articles, we looked through PubMed, Scopus, and the Google Scholar database. In order to support the theories, publications from before 2014 were also tracked down.Results: Molecular mechanism studies indicate that survivin participates in numerous signaling pathways, including MAPK, STAT3, b-catenin, Wnt, Notch, and others, and also controls the progression of the cell cycle and cytokinesis. Several elements, such as signaling pathway blockage siRNA technology, and CRISPR/Cas9 system have been discovered to aid in the induction of cancer cell death. Conclusion: Survivin is linked to several cancer survival-related pathways, contributing to carcinogenesis. Its expression is associated with treatment resistance, tumor development, and poor prognosis.

Abstract

Survivin is an antiapoptotic protein that is highly expressed in cancer cells. We investigated the dual roles of the Bacu-lovirus IAP Repeats (BIR) domain within survivin, encompassing both apoptosis and proliferation, through an in silico study. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of survivin was analyzed using Cytoscape software. Functional enrichment (FE) analysis and data from the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) were used to identify the implicated signaling pathways. The binding affinity of the BIR domain with the targeted proteins was visualized via molecular docking analysis. Drawing insights from the PPI network and FE analysis, we identified two key proteins in-volved in apoptosis such as X-linked Inhibitor of Apoptosis Proteins (XIAP) and caspase-9, and proliferation such as Cyclin-dependent Kinase 1 (CDK1) and Inner Centromere Protein (INCENP) for further analysis of their binding with the survivin BIR domain. These proteins were found to bind to the BIR domain at the Thr34, Thr48, and Ser20 resi-dues that have critical roles to regulate the apoptosis and proliferation. This study provides future insights into how the BIR domain of survivin could emerge as a potential target for cancer treatment, such as determining knockout targets for the development of genome editing technology

Abstract

BACKGROUND Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) is a noninvasive, non-contrast sequence for cancer detection. Research involving DW-MRI in cervical cancer has revealed lower apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values. This study aimed to evaluate the difference in tumor ADC values and ADC ratios (tumor-to-urine and tumor-to-muscle) with respect to tumor staging (early versus late) and histopathology (squamous cell carcinoma versus adenocarcinoma). METHODS This retrospective study included 56 patients with cervical cancer, divided into early- and late-stage groups. DW-MRI was performed in all patients, and the tumor ADC value, ADC ratio between the tumor and urine (ADC ratiot−u), and ADC ratio between the tumor and gluteal muscle (ADC ratiot−m) were measured. Statistical methods were employed to assess the difference in the tumor ADC value, ADC ratiot−u, and ADC ratiot−m with respect to cervical cancer stages and histopathological findings. RESULTS The median tumor ADC value was lower in the early-stage group than in the late-stage cervical cancer (0.75 × 10−3 mm²/s versus 0.8 × 10−3 mm²/s, p = 0.022). However, no differences were observed in ADC ratiot−u and ADC ratiot−m concerning the tumor staging, nor in ADC value, ADC ratiot−u, and ADC ratiot−m concerning histopathological findings (p = 0.29, 0.67 and 0.35, respectively), with no significant differences in the ADC ratiot−u (p = 0.153) and ADC ratiot−m (p = 0.260). In receiver operating characteristic analysis, the tumor ADC value was 75.0% sensitive and 50.0% specific in predicting late-stage cervical cancer with a cut-off value of 0.750 × 10−3 mm2/s. CONCLUSIONS The median tumor ADC value in early-stage patients was significantly lower than in the late-stage patients, suggesting that tumor ADC value has valuable potential for characterizing cervical cancer staging.

Abstract

The decreasing of sensitivity or resistance to tamoxifen occured after long-term treatment in breast cancer. One of the major factor in tamoxifen resistance is over expression of efflux transporter P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and Breast Cancer Resistance Protein (BCRP). Curcumin has known as inhibitor of P-gp and BCRP. The addition of curcumin to the tamoxifen resistant cells is expected to increase the sensitivity of breast cancer cells to tamoxifen. This study aim to know the effect of curcumin in increasing the cell sensitivity to tamoxifen through inhibition of P-gp and BCRP transporter efflux. MCF-7 breast cancer cell line was induced with tamoxifen 1 µM for 10 passage (MCF-7(T)), then cell viability and mRNA expression of P-gp and BCRP were analyzed. To the MCF-7(T) cells, curcumin was given at of 5/10/20 µM with or without tamoxifen for 5 days and cell viability and mRNA expression of P-gp and BCRP were analyzed on day 5th. As positive control, verapamil 50 µM was used as P-gp inhibitor, ritonavir 15 µM and nelfinavir 15 µM were used as BCRP inhibitor. The results showed that MCF-7(T) cells sensitivity to tamoxifen decreased with 11.8 times, the cell viability increased 10.82 fold and mRNA expression of P-gp and BCRP increased 4.04 fold. Then after administration of curcumin with or without tamoxifen for 5 days, the cell viability and the mRNA expression of P-gp and BCRP decreased. As conclusion, curcumin increased the sensitivity of MCF-7(T) to tamoxifen characterized by the decreasing of cell viability and mRNA expression of P-gp and BCRP. However, the administration of combination of curcumin with tamoxifen was more potent than just curcumin. The increased sensitivity was estimated at least partly through the inhibition of P-gp and BCRP mRNA expression by curcumin

Abstract

Introduction: Peptides with specific affinity toward breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs), including GYSASRSTIPGK and GAIRIRLSEPLS, have gained interest in targeted cancer diagnostics; however, the low abundance of BCSCs often results in limited detection sensitivity. This study addresses this limitation by conjugating BCSC-specific peptides to self-assembling Human Papillomavirus (HPV16) L1 protein, resulting in virus-like particles composed of 72 pentamers that provide substantial signal amplification. In addition, the SpyTag–SpyCatcher system derived from the Streptococcus pyogenes CnaB2 domain provides a robust strategy to enhance peptide–protein stability. Objectives: This study aimed to express and purify three recombinant proteins as key components for assembling a BCSC-specific diagnostic construct: HPV16 L1–SpyTag, SpyCatcher–GYSASRSTIPGK, and SpyCatcher–GAIRIRLSEPLS. Methods: Recombinant genes encoding the target proteins were expressed in Escherichia coli (E. coli) BL21(DE3) following IPTG induction for 1–4 hours. Bacterial cells were harvested and lysed under native or denaturing conditions, and recombinant proteins were purified using Ni-NTA affinity chromatography. Results: SDS–PAGE analysis showed clear bands at the expected molecular weights for HPV16 L1–SpyTag (58.5 kDa), SpyCatcher–GYSASRSTIPGK, and SpyCatcher–GAIRIRLSEPLS (~15 kDa), with induction-dependent increases in band intensity. The SpyCatcher–peptide fusions were predominantly soluble and purified under native conditions, whereas HPV16 L1–SpyTag was largely insoluble and required denaturing purification. Conclusion: HPV16 L1–SpyTag and SpyCatcher–peptide fusions were successfully expressed and purified in E. coli, establishing a versatile platform with potential to enhance BCSC-targeted detection and treatment strategies in breast cancer.
