Abstract To confirm the relationship between Circ_0003855 and EC, we purchased the Human esophageal carcinoma cell line Eca109 and normal human esophageal epithelial cells HEEC, and the expression levels of Circ_0003855, miR-622, and FLOT1 were detected. The results show that Circ_0003855 and FLOT1 were highly expressed in Eca109 cells, while miR-622 was lowly expressed (p < 0.05). Subsequently, Circ_0003855 small interfering RNA (si-Circ_0003855) and its negative control (si-NC) were used to detect changes in cellular biological behaviors. We found that the activity of Eca109 cells was reduced after interfering with the expression of Circ_0003855, and miR-622 expression More >

Abstract Background: Esophageal cancer (ESCA) is a common digestive tract tumor. As a result, optimization of the early diagnosis of ESCA and identifying the contributing prognostic genes is urgently required. Herein, the prognosis of mitochondrial autophagy-related genes was analyzed in different subtypes of ESCA, and prognostic models were constructed to identify the immune cell infiltration with significant differences between subtypes. Methods: The Cancer Genome Atlas database was searched to download 185 ESCA samples, covering gene expression level data and clinical follow-up data, and 179 samples from the Gene Expression Omnibus database for subsequent validation analysis. The… More >

Abstract Oxidative stress (OS) is intimately associated with tumorigenesis and has been considered a potential therapeutic strategy. However, the OS-associated therapeutic target for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains unconfirmed. In our study, gene expression data of ESCC and clinical information from public databases were downloaded. Through LASSO-Cox regression analysis, a risk score (RS) signature map of prognosis was constructed and performed external verification with the GSE53625 cohort. The ESTIMATE, xCell, CIBERSORT, TIMER, and ImmuCellAI algorithms were employed to analyze infiltrating immune cells and generate an immune microenvironment (IM). Afterward, functional enrichment analysis clarified the underlying… More >

Abstract The aim of this study was to examine the prognostic factors and treatment outcomes of cervical esophageal carcinoma (CEC) patients who underwent definitive chemoradiotherapy (CRT). The clinical data of 175 biopsy-confirmed CEC patients treated with definitive CRT between April 2005 and September 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The prognostic factors predicting overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and local recurrence-free survival (LRFS) were assessed in uni- and multivariable analyses. The median age of the entire cohort was 56 years (range: 26–87 years). All patients received definitive radiotherapy with a median total dose of 60 Gy, and… More >

Abstract Esophageal cancer (EC) was an aggressive malignant neoplasm characterized by high morbidity and poor prognosis. Identifying the changes in DNA damage repair genes helps to better understand the mechanisms of carcinoma progression. In this study, by comparing EC samples and normal samples, we found a total of 132 DDR expression with a significant difference. Moreover, we revealed higher expression of POLN, PALB2, ATM, PER1, TOP3B and lower expression of HMGB1, UBE2B were correlated to longer OS in EC. In addition, a prognostic risk score based on 7 DDR gene expression (POLN, HMGB1, TOP3B, PER1, UBE2B,… More >

Abstract Objective: To explore the effect of the cluster nursing mode combined with blood pressure regulation on the surgical tolerance of patients with esophageal cancer and hypertension. Methods: The clinical data of 86 patients with esophageal cancer and hypertension treated in our hospital (February 2016–February 2017) were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were randomly split into research group and reference group, with 43 cases in each group. The reference group received routine nursing, while the research group received cluster nursing combined with blood pressure regulation. The SBP, DBP and heart rates at D1 (at admission), D2 (2 h… More >

Abstract Esophageal cancer is the second most common type of cancer after lung carcinoma in the state of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K). The understanding of genetics in Esophageal cancer development is poor in the state. Genome wide association studies (GWAS) has proved to be unsurpassed tool in identification of new loci associated with different cancers. GWAS in Chinese population has identified SNP rs2294693 present in UNC5CL (UNC-5 Family C-Terminal like) to be associated with non-cardia gastric cancer. We performed a case control association study and genotyped the SNP rs2294693 using Taqman allele discrimination assay in 566 individuals… More >

Abstract Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) growth arrest-specific transcript 5 (GAS5) has been revealed to be associated with the progression of various cancers. However, the biological roles of GAS5 in esophageal cancer (EC) remain unclear. We aimed to thoroughly explore the functions of GAS5 in EC. The results showed that GAS5 expression was increased in EC cells (ECA109, TE-1, TE-3, and EC9706) compared to SHEE cells. Knockdown of GAS5 decreased cell viability, migration, and invasion and induced apoptosis in EC9706 cells. Moreover, miR-301a appeared to be directly sponged by GAS5, and miR-301a suppression obviously alleviated the protumor More >
