LPCAT3 regulates the proliferation and metastasis of serous ovarian cancer by modulating arachidonic acid by Fang Wen, Hongjian Ling, Rui Ran, Xinya Li, Houmei Wang, Qianfen Liu, Min Li, Tinghe Yu

“…Results: The expression level of LPCAT3 in serous ovarian cancer tissues was lower than that in other types of ovarian cancer, and high expression was associated with a longer survival time. Overexpressing LPCAT3 reduced cell proliferation, migration and invasion via enhancing ferroptosis and decreasing the survival signaling; these behaviors were enhanced in LPCAT3-downknocked cells, where a higher abundance of arachidonic acid was observed followed by up-regulation of the downstream survival signaling. …”

VEGFA, MYC, and JUN are abnormally elevated in the synovial tissue of patients with advanced osteoarthritis by Genxiang Rong, Zhenyu Zhang, Wenjing Zhan, Minnan Chen, Jingjing Ruan, Cailiang Shen

“…The high MYC, JUN, and VEGFA expression was positively correlated with the patients’ K-L score, pain time, and synovial score. Furthermore, the high p38-MAPK and P-p38-MAPK expression confirmed that the abnormal expression and activation of the MAPK signaling pathway occurred in the synovial tissue of patients with OA. …”
