UNASSIGNED: The primary aim of this study was to closely monitor and identify adverse events (AEs) linked to lenvatinib, a pharmacotherapeutic agent employed for the management of renal cell carcinoma, thyroid cancer, and hepatocellular carcinoma. The ultimate goal was to optimize patient safety and provide evidence-based guidance for the appropriate utilization of this medication.
UNASSIGNED: A comprehensive collection and analysis of reports from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database was conducted, encompassing the period from the first quarter of 2015 to the first quarter of 2023. Disproportionality analysis, employing robust algorithms including ROR, PRR, BCPNN, and EBGM was employed for effective data mining to quantify signals associated with lenvatinib-related AEs.
UNASSIGNED: Among the collected reports, a total of 15,193 cases were identified where lenvatinib was the \"primary suspected (PS)\" drug, resulting in 50,508 lenvatinib-induced AEs. An analysis was conducted to examine the occurrence of lenvatinib-induced adverse drug reactions (ADRs) across 26 organ systems. The findings revealed the presence of expected ADRs, including diarrhea, vomiting, stomatitis, hepatic encephalopathy, decreased appetite, dehydration, decreased weight, and electrolyte imbalances, which were consistent with the information provided in the drug labels. Furthermore, unexpected significant ADRs were observed at the preferred terms (PT) level, such as interstitial lung disease, pneumothorax, hypophysitis, failure to thrive, polycythemia, hypopituitarism, spontaneous pneumothorax, pulmonary cavitation, and limbic encephalitis. These findings indicated the potential occurrence of adverse effects that are currently not documented in the drug instructions.
UNASSIGNED: This study has successfully detected novel and unforeseen signals pertaining to ADRs associated with the administration of lenvatinib, thereby contributing significant insights into the intricate correlation between ADRs and the utilization of lenvatinib. The outcomes of this investigation underscore the utmost significance of continuous monitoring and vigilant surveillance in order to promptly identify and effectively manage AEs, consequently enhancing overall patient safety and well-being in the context of lenvatinib therapy.

UNASSIGNED: Ospemifene has been authorized for the treatment of vulvovaginal atrophy (VVA). This study wasto evaluate adverse events (AEs) associated with ospemifene by data mining the US Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS).
UNASSIGNED: The signals of AEs linked to ospemifene were measured using disproportionality analyses, such as the reporting odds ratio (ROR), the proportional reporting ratio (PRR), the Bayesian confidence propagation neural network (BCPNN), and the multi-item gamma Poisson shrinker (MGPS) algorithms.
UNASSIGNED: There were 2283 events of ospemifene being the \'primary suspected (PS)\' AE out of the 12,692,824 reports from the FAERS database. Ospemifene-induced AEs hit 25 organ systems. There were 726 severely disproportional preferred terms (PTs) that complied with the four algorithms. The investigation turned up a number of anticipated adverse drug reactions (ADRs), and significant unanticipated ADRs linked to eye and renal problems were found, indicating potential side effects not yet included in the prescription instructions.
UNASSIGNED: We detected novel AEs signals for ospemifene, and the results of our investigation were compatible with clinical observations. This suggests that further prospective clinical trials are required to confirm these findings and demonstrate their link. Our findings might be useful supporting data for ospemifene safety research in the future.

UNASSIGNED: The aim of this study is to monitor, identify, and compare the adverse events (AEs) related to tenecteplase and alteplase, with the objective of exploring the potential safety of tenecteplase for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and guiding its use to enhance patient safety.
UNASSIGNED: In order to evaluate the disproportionality of AEs associated with tenecteplase and alteplase in real-world data, four algorithms (ROR, PRR, BCPNN, EBGM) were utilized as measures to detect signals of AEs related to both drugs. Subsequently, Breslow-Day statistical analysis was applied to compare the RORs of the main system organ classes (SOCs) and key preferred terms (PTs) between tenecteplase and alteplase.
UNASSIGNED: A statistical analysis was performed utilizing data gleaned from the Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database, encompassing 19,514,140 case reports from 2004Q1 to 2023Q1. There were 1,004 cases where tenecteplase was reported as the primary suspected (PS) and 2,363 tenecteplase-related adverse drug reactions (ADRs) at the PTs level were identified, the two data of alteplase were 10,945 and 25,266, respectively. The occurrence of drug-induced ADRs was analyzed across 27 organ systems, The analysis revealed several expected ADRs, such as Haemorrhage, Hypersensitivity which were consistent with the two drug-labels. It is of note that the signal strengths of \'death,\' \'ventricular fibrillation,\' \'cardiogenic shock\' and \'pneumonia aspiration\' at the PT level were markedly higher for tenecteplase than for alteplase, whereas the signal strength of \'angioedema\' at the PT level was significantly higher for alteplase in comparison to tenecteplase. Additionally, unexpected significant ADRs associated with ocular adverse reactions and pneumonia aspiration at the PT level were identified, indicating potential AEs not currently mentioned in the drug instructions.
UNASSIGNED: This study identified and compared signals of ADRs associated with tenecteplase and alteplase, although tenecteplase is as effective as alteplase and has advantages such as ease of use and affordability, it cannot replace alteplase in the treatment of AIS until its safety profile is fully recognized. Additionally, previously unreported ocular ADRs and pneumonia were identified, providing valuable insights into the relationship between ADRs and the use of these thrombolytic drugs. These findings underscore the importance of continuous monitoring and effective detection of AEs to ultimately enhance the safety of AIS patients undergoing thrombolytic therapy.

UNASSIGNED: The objective of this study was to monitor and identify adverse events (AEs) associated with topotecan, a medication used for the treatment of solid tumors, in order to improve patient safety and guide medication usage.
UNASSIGNED: To assess the disproportionality of topotecan-related AEs in real-world data, four algorithms (ROR, PRR, BCPNN, and EBGM) were employed as measures to detect signals of topotecan-associated AEs.
UNASSIGNED: A statistical analysis was conducted using data from the FAERS database, encompassing 9,511,161 case reports from 2004Q1 to 2021Q4. Among these reports, 1,896 were identified as primary suspected (PS) AEs related to topotecan, and 155 topotecan-related adverse drug reactions (ADRs) at the preferred terms (PTs) level were selected. The occurrence of topotecan-induced ADRs was analyzed across 23 organ systems. The analysis revealed several expected ADRs, such as anemia, nausea, and vomiting, which were consistent with the drug labels. Additionally, unexpected significant ADRs associated with eye disorders at the system organ class (SOC) level were identified, indicating potential adverse effects not currently mentioned in the drug instructions.
UNASSIGNED: This study identified new and unexpected signals of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) related to topotecan, providing valuable insights into the relationship between ADRs and topotecan usage. The findings highlight the importance of ongoing monitoring and surveillance to detect and manage AEs effectively, ultimately improving patient safety during topotecan treatment.

The tumor suppressor p53 has been implicated in the pathogenesis of liver fibrosis. HERC5-mediated posttranslational ISG modification of the p53 protein is critical for controlling its activity. Here, we demonstrated that the expression of HERC5 and ISG15 is highly elevated, whereas p53 is downregulated, in fibrotic liver tissues of mice and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)-induced LX2 cells. HERC5 siRNA clearly increased the protein expression of p53, but the mRNA expression of p53 was not obviously changed. The inhibition of lincRNA-ROR (ROR) downregulated HERC5 expression and elevated p53 expression in TGF-β1-stimulated LX-2 cells. Furthermore, the expression of p53 was almost unchanged after TGF-β1-stimulated LX-2 cells were co-transfected with a ROR-expressing plasmid and HERC5 siRNA. We further confirmed that miR-145 is a target gene of ROR. In addition, we also showed that ROR regulates the HERC5-mediated ISGylation of p53 through mir-145/ZEB2. Together, we propose that ROR/miR-145/ZEB2 might be involved in the course of liver fibrosis by regulating ISGylation of the p53 protein.

Propofol is an ultra-fast-acting intravenous anesthetic, which is rapidly metabolized primarily into inactive compounds in the live and then excreted in the urine. The purpose of this study is to explore the risk signals of propofol based on the US FDA Adverse Event Reporting System database. The risk signals of propofol-related adverse reactions in adverse event (AE) reports from 2004 to 2021 in the US FAERS were mined using ratio-report method (ROR) and the ratio-report ratio method (PRR) methods. We screened out 1651 pairs AE reports using propofol as primary suspect (PS) drugs. ROR, PRR, BCPNN and MGPS methods were used to calculate respectively, there are 363 positive preferred terms (PT) signals with 9549 cases. Among them, the top 3 adverse reactions associated with using propofol from the FAERS database were anaphylactic shock, hypotension and propofol infusion syndrome. The top 3 systems of the body associated with adverse reaction of propofol from the FAERS database were General disorders, Cardiac disorders and administration site conditions and Respiratory, thoracic and mediastinal disorders. The top 4 indication of using propofol from the FAERS database, including anaesthesia, induction of anaesthesia, sedation, general anaesthesia. There are many adverse reactions that are not included in the drug insert of propofol and involve a wide range of organs and/or systems. Caution should be exercised in the clinical use of propofol.

Mycobacterium leprae is a kind of disease-causing bacteria and results in leprosy in human. Gamma delta (γδ) T cell is a T-cell subset that is presented in both human dermis and epidermis. These cells bridge innate and adaptive immune responses and play critical roles in regulating anti-microbial defense, wound healing, and skin inflammation. Here, we investigated skin resident γδ T cells in patients with leprosy. Our data showed that γδ T cells significantly accumulated in skin lesions of leprosy patients with tuberculoid (TT) form. IL-23 can predominantly stimulate dermal γδ T cells to produce interleukin 17 (IL-17), a cytokine which may lead to disease protection. These γδ T cells expressed a specific set of surface molecules, and majority of these cells were Vδ1+. Also, IL-23 can stimulate the expansion of dermal γδ T cells expansion. Moreover, our results revealed that the transcription factor RORγt was responsible for IL-17A expression in leprosy lesion. Therefore, these data indicated that IL-23-responsive dermal γδ T cells were the major resource of IL-17A production in the skin and could be a potential target in the treatment of leprosy.

UNASSIGNED: Previous studies have shown that the long intergenic non-protein coding RNA regulator of reprogramming (linc-ROR) is abnormally expressed in a variety of malignancies and plays an important role in tumor progression. However, little is known about the role of linc-ROR in gastric cancer. In this study, the relationship between the expression of linc-ROR and clinicopathological factors in gastric cancer and its potential mechanism were explored.
UNASSIGNED: The cells were classified into two groups: ROR small interfering RNA(si-ROR) and the Negative control siRNA (si-NC).Linc-ROR was knockdown in si-ROR group by small interfering RNA (siRNA). Detect the expression of linc-ROR in gastric cancer tissues and normal tissues and its relationship with clinicopathologic characteristics by RT-PCR. the invasion ability was studied by wound healing assay and transwell assay. The expression levels of EMT-related molecules was detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting.
UNASSIGNED: Showed that the expression of lincROR in gastric cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in the adjacent normal tissues. The lincROR expression level was significantly related to the tumor grade, lymph node metastasis, and TNM stage in cancer tissues. The lincROR knockdown in gastric cancer cell lines significantly inhibited cell invasion and metastasis. It affected its malignant biological behavior by activating the epithelial-mesenchymal transition through increasing expression of vimentin as well as decreasing E-cadherin levels in gastric cancer cells. The lincROR silencing significantly decreased the expression of β-catenin and c-myc.
UNASSIGNED: Linc-ROR can regulate cell invasion and metastasis by activating the epithelial-mesenchymal transition process partially through Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway in the gastric cancer cells. Link-ROR may be an important molecule for the metastasis of gastric cancer.

OBJECTIVE: LMNB2 is a protein that belongs to the RAB family. It is correlated with the tumorigenesis and development of several human cancers. The effect of LMNB2 on esophageal cancer (EC) has not yet been reported. The previous study showed that lncRNA ROR could promote the proliferation of EC. The current study aimed at exploring the correlation between ROR with LMNB2 and the role of ROR and LMNB2 in proliferation and migration of EC.
METHODS: This study performed dual luciferase reporter assay to evaluate the binding between miR-145 and ROR as well as miR-145 and LMNB2. Gene expression in EC tissues and cells were detected using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) assay. The effect of ROR or miR-145 on LMNB2 expression was detected using western blot (WB) assay. Cells proliferation was detected by CCK8 and clone formation assay. Transwell and wound healing assay were carried out to determine the cells migration. Mouse xenograft assay was performed to detect the effect of LMNB2 on tumor growth in vivo.
RESULTS: This study demonstrated that miR-145 directly targets ROR and LMNB. ROR and LMNB2 were up-regulated and miR-145 was down-regulated in EC tissues and cells. The proliferation and migration of EC cells were promoted by overexpression of of ROR or LMNB2. MiR-145 was capable of reversing the effect of ROR. The results also determined that down-regulation of LMNB2 had inhibitory effects and up-regulation of LMNB2 had catalytic effects on tumor growth in vivo.
CONCLUSIONS: LMNB2 which is regulated by ROR and miR-145 was highly expressed in EC and promoted the proliferation and migration of EC in vitro and in vivo. The study suggests that ROR and LMNB2 could be potentially the therapeutic targets of EC.

OBJECTIVE: Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide, and for resectable tumors, the most effective treatment is surgery with chemotherapy in neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting. However, the majority of patients fail to achieve the ideal initial response and/or develop resistance to chemotherapy. It was reported that long noncoding RNA regulator of reprogramming (ROR) is highly associated with the progression of gastric cancer. However, the role ROR in multidrug resistance (MDR) remains unclear.
METHODS: The messenger RNA levels of 63 specimens of patients with gastric cancer were determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis and were correlated with drug resistance and survival of patients. To determine the cellular functions of ROR, we generated gastric cancer MDR cells. The effect of ROR depletion on multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1) expression and cell apoptosis were examined by immunoblotting analyses, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, and flow cytometry.
RESULTS: We found that ROR expression levels are positively associated with increased MDR and poor prognosis of patients with gastric cancer. Regulator of reprogramming expression is increased in gastric cancer cells resistant to adriamycin (ADR) and vincristine (VCR). Depletion of ROR reduced MRP1 expression and increased apoptosis of drug-resistant gastric cancer cells in response to ADR and VCR treatment.
CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrated that ROR expression promotes MRP1 expression and MDR of gastric cancer cells and is correlated with increased MDR and poor prognosis of patients with gastric cancer. Our finding highlighted the potential of targeting ROR to improve the efficacy of chemotherapy.
