Ovarian cancer (OC) is a common and highly prevalent malignant tumor in women, associated with a high mortality rate, easy recurrence and easy metastasis, which is predominantly at an advanced stage when detected in patients. This renders the cancer more difficult to treat, and consequently it is also associated with a low survival rate, being the malignancy with the highest mortality rate among the various gynecological tumors. As an important factor affecting the development and metastasis of OC, understanding the underlying mechanism(s) through which it is formed and developed is crucial in terms of its treatment...

Silencing XB130 inhibits cell proliferation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), suggesting that downregulating XB130 expression may impede NSCLC progression. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the regulation of XB130 expression remains unclear. In the present study, the role of the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) in the regulation of XB130 expression was investigated. Recombinant psiCHECK-2 vectors with wild-type, truncated, or mutant XB130 3'-UTR were constructed, and the effects of these insertions on reporter gene expression were examined using a dual-luciferase reporter assay and reverse transcription-quantitative PCR...
