LncRNAs: New Players in Apoptosis Control by Marianna Nicoletta Rossi, Fabrizio Antonangeli

“…Apoptosis is a well regulated type of programmed cell death necessary for correct organ development and tissue homeostasis. Indeed, cancer cells often show an inhibition of the apoptotic pathways and it is now emerging that overexpression or downregulation of different lncRNAs in specific types of tumors sensitize cancer cells to apoptotic stimuli. …”

The role of Box A of HMGB1 in producing γH2AX associated DNA breaks in lung cancer by Sirapat Settayanon, Pithi Chanvorachote, Apiwat Mutirangura

“…Since the formation of HMGB1-produced DNA gaps in cancers may differ from normal cells, the outcome of introducing Box A into cancer cells may be different. We demonstrated that in lung cancer cells, γH2AX foci and histone modification associating DSBs were produced by Box A. …”
