    • Following the giant's paces-governance issues and bioethical reflections in China 

      Wang, Zhaochen; Zhang, Di; Ng, Vincent H.; Lie, Reidar K.; Zhai, Xiaomei (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-10-31)
      Background: China has become a global player in the field of biosamples research and analysis of genetic data. The Beijing Genomics Institute is a genetics factory where enormous amounts of biosamples/data from all over ...

    • Identification of immune-related genes contributing to the development of glioblastoma using weighted gene co-expression network analysis 

      Kong, Yang; Feng, Zichao; Zhang, Yulin; Liu, Xiaofei; Ma, Yuan; Zhao, Zhimin; Huang, Bin; Chen, An-Jing; Zhang, Di; Thorsen, Frits; Wang, Jian; Yang, Ning; Li, Xingang (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Background: The tumor microenvironment (TME) of human glioblastoma (GBM) exhibits considerable immune cell infiltration, and such cell types have been shown to be widely involved in the development of GBM. Here, weighted ...

    • The Natural Flavonoid Galangin Elicits Apoptosis, Pyroptosis, and Autophagy in Glioblastoma 

      Kong, Yang; Feng, Zichao; Chen, Anjing; Qi, Qichao; Han, Mingzhi; Wang, Shuai; Zhang, Yulin; Zhang, Xin; Yang, Ning; Wang, Jiwei; Huang, Bin; Zhang, Qing; Xiang, Guo; Li, Wenjie; Zhang, Di; Wang, Jian; Li, Xingang (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-09-27)
      Galangin (GG), a flavonoid, elicits a potent antitumor activity in diverse cancers. Here, we evaluated the efficacy of GG in the treatment of human glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and investigated the molecular basis for its ...

    • PMEPA1 isoform a drives progression of glioblastoma by promoting protein degradation of the Hippo pathway kinase LATS1 

      Ji, Jianxiong; Ding, Kaikai; Luo, Tao; Xu, Ran; Zhang, Xin; Huang, Bin; Chen, An-Jing; Zhang, Di; Miletic, Hrvoje; Bjerkvig, Rolf; Thorsen, Frits; Wang, Jian; Li, Xingang (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      The Hippo signaling pathway controls organ development and is also known, in cancer, to have a tumor suppressing role. Within the Hippo pathway, we here demonstrate, in human gliomas, a functional interaction of a transmembrane ...

    • Reduced expression of proteolipid protein 2 increases ER stress-induced apoptosis and autophagy in glioblastoma. 

      Feng, Zichao; Zhou, Wenjing; Wang, Jiwei; Qi, Qichao; Han, Mingzhi; Kong, Yang; Hu, Yaotian; Zhang, Yulin; Chen, Anbin; Huang, Bin; Zhang, Di; Li, Wenjie; Zhang, Qing; Bjerkvig, Rolf; Wang, Jian; Thorsen, Frits; Li, Xingang (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-11-28)
      Proteolipid protein 2 (PLP2) is an integral ion channel membrane protein of the endoplasmic reticulum. The protein has been shown to be highly expressed in many cancer types, but its importance in glioma progression is ...

    • RNA splicing factor USP39 promotes glioma progression by inducing TAZ mRNA maturation 

      Ding, Kaikai; Ji, Jianxiong; Zhang, Xin; Huang, Bin; Chen, Anjing; Zhang, Di; Li, Xingang; Wang, Xinyu; Wang, Jian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Increasing evidence demonstrates that ubiquitin specific protease 39 (USP39) plays an oncogenic role in various human tumors. Here, using expression analysis of the publicly available Oncomine database, clinical glioma ...

    • TRIM22 activates NF-κB signaling in glioblastoma by accelerating the degradation of IκBα 

      Ji, Jianxiong; Ding, Kaikai; Luo, Tao; Zhang, Xin; Chen, Anjing; Zhang, Di; Li, Gang; Thorsen, Frits; Huang, Bin; Li, Xingang; Wang, Jian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      NF-κB signaling plays a critical role in tumor growth and treatment resistance in GBM as in many other cancers. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying high, constitutive NF-κB activity in GBM remains to be elucidated. ...
