... The Kaplan-Meier Plotter database comprise an evaluation of the impact of 54,675 genes on survival outcomes in 21 cancers and many studies have used Kaplan-Meier Plotter database to assess the correlation between genes and cancer prognosis [37,38]. What's more, previous studies have reported the relationship between STIL and prognosis of cancers using the Kaplan-Meier Plotter database [39]. Therefore, we used the Kaplan-Meier Plotter database for analysis and found that high STIL expression is correlated with poor prognosis of breast cancer. ...
... Electrical conductivity was evaluated as EC (%) = S1/S2 [30]. Biochemical index determination kits (Abbkine Scientific Co., Ltd., Wuhan, China) were used for the determination of superoxide dismutase activity (SOD), catalase activity (CAT), glutathione s-transferase activity (GST), α-amylase activity, malondialdehyde content (MDA), proline content (Pro), soluble protein content, and soluble sugar content [31]. ...
... In our previous study, STIL is upregulated in tumor tissues and is closely related to the bad prognosis of patients. STIL could regulate PC and affect the cell cycle of kidney and prostate cancer cells [16]. This study found that STIL expression was up-regulated in bladder cancer tissues and cell lines. ...
... IL-6/IL-6R inhibition may be an effective strategy to inhibit tumor progression and metastasis [142][143][144]. Palladium nanoplate-based IL-6R antagonists have been designed to deliver tocilizumab to the liver for hepcidin suppression, which alleviates cancer-associated anemia and simultaneously inhibits tumor progression, partly due to corrected anemia, in murine models [145]. Higher IL-6 levels and a greater number of T helper 17 (Th17) cells were observed in ICI-induced immune-related enterocolitis, and IL-6 inhibition increased the ICIinduced anti-tumor efficacy [146]. ...
... Breast tumors expressing low levels of TRDMT1 are more responsive to radiotherapy. Du et al. [20] analyzed the clinical relevance of m5C regulators in pan-cancer. Liu et al. [21] wrote that the RNA m5C modifcation and its regulators have been shown to be involved in the progression of various cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma, bladder cancer, glioblastoma multiforme, breast cancer, and head and neck carcinoma, indicating that RNA m5C might play an important role in tumorigenesis and progression. ...
... Based on the functional moieties of GSH-responsive delivery systems, they can be categorized into five main groups: disulfide, diselenide/ditelluride, thioether/selenide/tellurium, metal-thiol-based linkers, and ferrocenium. These moieties, along with their mechanisms and applications, have been summarized in Table 2. [63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75] In this review, we will delve into the specifics of each of these moieties to gain a better understanding of their potential in GSH-responsive delivery systems. ...
... For instance, increased concentrations of cortisol, a hormone associated with stress, can decrease the flow of blood to the placenta and hinder the transfer of nutrients, therefore affecting the growth of the fetus [77]. Disturbances in estrogen and progesterone signaling can impact the formation of the placenta and its capacity to sustain the fetus [78]. Furthermore, modified insulin signaling can influence the metabolic processes and development of the fetus. ...
... However, according to a different study, GO might promote the movement and spread of cancerous cells. Low-dose GO has been shown to boost transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) synthesis, which in turn causes an increase in metastasis and the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) [28]. Graphene oxide nanoparticles can interact with the membranes of cancer cells, causing the cells to internalize the particles into their cytoplasm [29]. ...
... When 80-90% confluence was reached, cells were separately treated with s-GOs and l-GOs at 0.1, 1, 10, 50, 100, and 250 µg/mL for 6 h and 24 h. The dose of 0.1~250 µg/mL was selected based on previous studies that reported that the IC50 value of GO cytotoxicity is approximately within the range from 50 to 100 µg/mL [41,42]. The relative cell viability was calculated as the percentage of untreated cells. ...
... They associated this with changes in the organization of actin filaments after treatment. Zhu et al. [60] reported that the permeability of the membranes of cancer cells increased after treatment with GO, making them more suitable for drug delivery. In our study, the decrease in stiffness of cells treated with the MTX/GO complex compared to the control group and groups treated with MTX alone may be associated with altered membrane permeability, particularly due to GO. ...
