This study evaluated the prevalence, virulence and antimicrobial susceptibility of enterococci isolated from the subgingival microbiota of patients with different periodontal status.

Subgingival biofilm was obtained from individuals with periodontal health (PH) (n = 139), gingivitis (n = 103), and periodontitis (n = 305) and cultivated on selective media. Isolated strains were identified by mass spectrometry. Antimicrobial sensitivity was determined by disk diffusion, virulence genes by polymerase chain reaction, and the subgingival microbiota by checkerboard. Differences among groups were assessed by Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney, and Chi-square tests.

Enterococcus spp. were isolated from 7.4% of all samples; 53.7% were Enterococcus faecalis. They were more prevalent in periodontitis (9.8%) and gingivitis (7.8%) than PH (2.2%; P <0.05), but no differences among stages of disease severity were observed. High rates of low susceptibility/resistance (>64%) to at least one antimicrobial were observed. ce genes and express resistance to some antibiotics commonly used in dentistry, such as ciprofloxacin and erythromycin. Specific subgingival taxa are associated with oral enterococci, suggesting they may interact with species of the dysbiotic periodontitis biofilm, constituting a potential source of factors to tissue destruction, antibiotic resistance dissemination, and poor response to periodontal therapy.VSP‑17, a novel peroxisome proliferator‑activated receptor γ (PPARγ) agonist, has been previously demonstrated to suppress the metastasis of triple‑negative breast cancer (TNBC) by upregulating the expression levels of E‑cadherin, which is a key marker of epithelial‑mesenchymal transition (EMT). However, the mechanism of action of VSP‑17, in particular whether it may be associated with the EMT process, remains unknown. The present study investigated the ability of VSP‑17 to inhibit the invasiveness and migratory ability of TNBC cell lines (MDA‑MB‑231 and MDA‑MB‑453) performed in in vitro experiments. including cell migration assay, cell invasion assay, cell transfection, RT‑qPCR, western blot (WB) analysis and immunofluorescence. The present study aimed to ascertain whether and how the PPARγ/AMP‑activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling pathway serves a role in the inhibitory effects of VSP‑17 on cell migration and invasion. The results revealed that both treatment with compound C (an AMPK inhibitor) and tranof the EMT process may be dependent on PPARγ. VSP‑17 treatment also upregulated the expression levels of p‑AMPK, which could be reversed by either GW9662 or siPPARγ, indicating that the VSP‑17‑induced activation of the AMPK signaling pathway was PPARγ‑dependent. In conclusion, the findings of the present study indicated that VSP‑17 treatment may inhibit the migration and invasion of TNBC cells by suppressing the EMT process via the PPARγ/AMPK signaling pathway.Acanthopanax senticosus (Rupr. et Maxim) Harms (ASH), also known as Siberian ginseng or eleuthero, is a hardy shrub native to China, Korea, Russia and the northern region of Japan. ASH is used for the treatment of several diseases such as heart disease, hypertension, rheumatoid arthritis, allergies, chronic bronchitis, diabetes and cancer. In the present study, the inhibitory effect of the root extract of ASH (ASHE) on HuH‑7 and HepG2 liver cancer cells was examined. ASHE suppressed liver cancer cell proliferation by inducing cell cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phase, as well as apoptosis, as indicated by the increased number of Annexin V and 7‑AAD‑positive cells. Furthermore, the expression of LC3‑II, an autophagy marker, in these cells also increased post treatment with ASHE. LC3‑II induction was further enhanced by co‑treatment with chloroquine. Fluorescence and transmission electron micrographs of ASHE‑treated liver cancer cells showed the presence of an increased number of autophagic vesicles. A decreased protein expression level of run domain Beclin‑1‑interacting and cysteine‑rich domain‑containing, an autophagy inhibitor, with no change in RUBCN mRNA expression was observed, indicating activation of the autophagosome‑lysosome fusion step of autophagy. In conclusion, ASHE exerts cytostatic activity on liver cancer cells via both apoptosis and autophagy, and may serve as a potential therapeutic agent for management of liver cancer and autophagy‑related diseases.Glioma is the most aggressive tumor of the central nervous system. Long non‑coding RNAs (lncRNAs) may be involved in modulating tumor generation. The present study analyzed an lncRNA microarray of glioma and selected long intergenic non‑protein coding RNA 665 (LINC00665) as the research object. The mode of expression and biological function of LINC00665 in glioma were assessed using lncRNA microarray and RT‑qPCR analyses. Gain‑of‑function assays and/or loss‑of‑function assays were implemented to explore the role of LINC00665 in the progression of glioma. Dual‑luciferase reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation assays explored the downstream molecular mechanism of LINC00665. The function of the molecular pathway in progression of glioma was analyzed using rescue assays. High expression of LINC00665 was marked in glioma tissues and cells, which correlated with an unsatisfactory prognosis. Upregulation of LINC00665 significantly promoted the proliferation and invasion of glioma cells. LINC00665 acted as a competing endogenous RNA by sponging miR‑34a‑5p to upregulate angiotensin II receptor type 1 (AGTR1). LINC00665 promoted the progression of glioma by acting as a competitive endogenous RNA to competitively bind to miR‑34a‑5p and mediate AGTR1 expression.Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer amongst women worldwide, and numerous microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) are involved in the initiation and progression of breast cancer. The aim of the present study was to identify hub miRNAs and determine the underlying mechanisms regulated by these miRNAs in breast cancer. Breast invasive carcinoma transcriptome data (including mRNAs and miRNAs), and clinical data were acquired from The Cancer Genome Atlas database. Differential gene expression analysis, co‑expression network analysis, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and prognosis analysis were used to screen the hub miRNAs and explore their functions. Functional experiments were used to determine the underlying mechanisms of the hub miRNAs in breast cancer cells. The results revealed that low miR150 expression predicted a more advanced disease stage, and was associated with a less favorable prognosis. Through the combined use of five miRNA‑target gene prediction tools, 31 potential miR150 target genes were identified. GSEA revealed that low miR150 expression was associated with the upregulation of several cancer‑associated signaling pathways, and the downregulation of several tumor suppressor genes. Furthermore, miR150 independently affected overall survival in patients, and interacted with its target genes to indirectly affect overall and disease‑free survival. Functional experiments demonstrated that miR150 positively regulated B and T lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA), and the downregulation of miR150 and BTLA combined promoted cell migration. In conclusion, the present study revealed that low miR150 expression was associated with less favorable clinical features, upregulation of several carcinogenic signaling pathways, and poor patient survival. Additionally, a miR150‑BTLA axis was suggested to regulate cell viability and migration.Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies in women and is characterized by active immunogenicity. Immune cell infiltration plays an important role in the development of breast cancer. The degree of infiltration influences both the response to and effect of treatment. However, immune infiltration is a complex process. Differences in oxygen partial pressure, blood perfusion and nutrients in the tumor microenvironment (TME) suggest that infiltrating immune cells in different sites experience different microenvironments with corresponding changes in the metabolic mode, that is, immune cell metabolism is heterogenous in the TME. Furthermore, the present review found that lipid metabolism can support the immunosuppressive microenvironment in breast cancer based on a review of published literature. Research in this field is still ongoing; however, it is vital to understand the metabolic patterns and effects of different microenvironments for antitumor therapy. Therefore, this review discusses the metabolic responses of various immune cells to different microenvironments in breast cancer and provides potentially meaningful insights for tumor immunotherapy.Following the publication of this article, an interested reader drew to the authors' attention that, in Fig. 7 on p. 2757, sections of the data panels in Fig. 7A and B, showing the results of the non‑transfected HeLa cell (Pnon group) and pGenesil‑1‑transfected HeLa cell (P0 group) experiments respectively, were strikingly similar. Both the Pnon and the P0 groups were control groups; upon re‑examining their original data, the authors have realized that, when uploading the images, the data shown in Fig. 7B for the pGenesil‑1‑transfected HeLa cells (P0 group) were selected incorrectly. The authors were able to locate the data that were intended to have been shown in Fig. 7B; moreover, the text describing the number of migrated cells in the Results section also requires a correction. In the 'Downregulation of BDNF expression suppresses the migratory and invasive capabilities of HeLa cells' subsection, the text on lines 9‑11 of this paragraph should be changed to the following (changed text is highlighted in bold) 'Migrated cells/field in the PBDNF1 group (37±17) were significantly less than those in the Pnon (105±31) and P0 (86±27) groups'. Likewise, the same correction to the text has been made to the Figure legend, as shown opposite. The revised version of Fig. 7, showing the correct data for Fig. 7B, is shown opposite. The authors are grateful to the Editor of Oncology Reports for allowing them the opportunity to publish this Corrigendum, and all of the authors agree to the publication of this Corrigendum. The authors sincerely apologize for this mistake, and regret any inconvenience this mistake has caused.

Therefore, there is an urgent need for novel therapeutics to overcome these obstacles. It was recently demonstrated that upregulated expression of monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) contributes to the progression of NSCLC. G10, a tumor‑targeting representative conjugate of heptamethine carbocyanine dye and an inhibitor of MAOA, was shown to exert potent cytotoxic effects, comparable to those of doxorubicin, against prostate cancer cell lines, as well as moderate MAOA inhibitory activity. The research described herein aimed to extend our previous study on the antitumor function of G10 in NSCLC in vitro and in vivo, and to elucidate the mechanisms through which G10 exerts its antineoplastic effects. XMUMP1 G10 markedly inhibited the proliferation of paclitaxel‑resistant NSCLC cells (H460/PTX) and reduced tumor cell migration and invasion. Gene expression profiling of paclitaxel‑resistant NSCLC cells following treatment with G10 demonstrated that the expression of genes associated with the extracellular matrix was significantly affected, particularly the metastasis‑related genes matrix metallopeptidase (MMP)2, MMP14 and COL6A, which exhibited notably reduced expression.
