RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are two common malignant disorders in leukemia. Although potent drugs are emerging, CML and AML may still relapse after the drug treatment is stopped. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) and lncRNAs play certain roles in the occurrence and development of tumors, but m6A-modified LncRNAs in ML remain to be further investigated. METHODS: In this study, we extracted and analyzed the TCGA gene expression profile of 151 ML patients and the clinical data. On this basis, we then evaluated the immune infiltration capacity of ML and LASSO-penalized Cox analysis was applied to construct the prognostic model based on m6A related lncRNAs to verify the prognostic risk in clinical features of ML. Quantitative reverse transcription PCR was used to detect the expression level of LncRNA in in ML cell lines K562, MOLM13 and acute monocytic leukemia cell line THP-1. RESULTS: We found 70 m6A-related lncRNAs that were related to prognosis, and speculated that the content of stromal cells and immune cells would correlate with the survival of patients with ML. Next, Prognostic risk model of m6A-related lncRNAs was validated to have excellent consistency in clinical features of ML. Finally, we verified the expression levels of CRNDE, CHROMR and NARF-IT1 in ML cell lines K562, MOLM13 and acute monocytic leukemia cell line THP-1, which were significant. CONCLUSIONS: The research provides clues for the prognosis prediction of ML patients by using the m6A-related lncRNAs model we have created, and clarifies the accuracy and authenticity of it.
RESUMEN
The matrix metallopeptidase family (matrix metallopeptidase, MMPs) is a class of zinc-dependent endopeptidases that can degrade most extracellular matrices. MT1-MMP (membrane type 1 metalloprotease) is an important metallopeptidase, which is located on plasma membrane and highly expressed in most tumors. MT1-MMP promotes cancer metastasis through affecting the extracellular matrix remodeling, angiogenesis, lipid metabolism, and inflammation. However, the mechanisms of MT1-MMP in different tumors have not been fully elucidated. In this review, we summarize the latest progress and the metastasis-promoting regulatory mechanisms of MT1-MMP in different tumors, which will provide references for its in-depth research and application in the field of cancer biology.
