Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a global challenge due to its high morbidity and mortality rates as well poor response treatment. The communication between tumor-derived elements stroma plays critical role in facilitating cancer progression of HCC. Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles (EVs) that released from the cells upon fusion multivesicular bodies with plasma membrane. There is emerging evidence indicating exosomes play central cell-to-cell communication. Much attention has...

Tumor‐associated macrophages (TAMs) are recognized as antitumor suppressors, but how TAMs behave in the hypoxic environment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear. Here, we demonstrated that hypoxia inducible factor 1α induced increased expression triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells‐1 (TREM‐1) TAMs, resulting immunosuppression. Specifically, TREM‐1‐positive (TREM‐1 + ) abundant at advanced stages HCC progression indirectly impaired cytotoxic functions CD8 T cells and...

Abstract The receptor for advanced glycation end products (Rage) is involved in the development of various tumors and acts as an oncogenic protein. Rage overexpressed including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, molecular mechanism HCC progression sorafenib resistance remains unclear. In this study, enhanced expression highly associated proliferation contributes to resistance. deficiency contributed autophagy induction through activating AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway, which important...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been demonstrated to be essential regulators in the development and progression of various cancers. The role miR-188-5p gastric cancer (GC) has not determined. In this study, we found that expression was downregulated GC tissues compared with adjacent normal tissues. lowly expressed significantly associated lymph node metastasis advanced TNM stage. Moreover, overexpression inhibited cell proliferation, migration, invasion but promoted cellular apoptosis....

Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been recently used in clinical trials as treatment for liver diseases. However, the underlying mechanism of their effectiveness remains largely unexplored. In present study, we confirmed that protective effects MSCs on mouse model acute failure (ALF) were based MSC-secreted prostaglandin (PG)E2. Our data PGE2 not only inhibited apoptosis but also enhanced hepatocyte proliferation, thus attenuating ALF. Moreover, Yes-associated protein...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common primary malignant tumors liver worldwide. Liver resection and transplantation are currently only effective treatments; however, recurrence metastasis rates still high. Previous studies have shown that epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) a key step in HCC invasion metastasis. Inhibition EMT has become new therapeutic strategy for tumors. Recently, puerarin, well-characterized component traditional Chinese medicine, been isolated...

Co-occurring and mutually exclusive gene alteration events are helpful for understanding carcinogenesis but systematic screening such is quite limited. We conducted pairwise tests to identify "hit pairs" in colorectal cancer (CRC) by utilizing the cross-omics data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Numerous hit pairs involving somatic mutations, copy number variations, DNA methylation were found occur nonrandomly CRC, as KRAS HOXB6, SMAD4 PMEPA1. Based on these pairs, we identified 32...
