CXCR4, stromal cell-derived factor-1α(SDF 1α) receptor, stimulates growth and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Alpha-fetoprotein(AFP) governs the expression some metastasis-related genes. Here we report that AFP CXCR4 levels correlated in HCC tissues. AFP-expressing vectors induced CXCR4. In agreement, depletion by siRNA decreased co-localized interacted with PTEN, thus inducing activating AKT(Ser473) phosphorylation. turn, phospho-mTOR(Ser2448) entered nucleus bound gene...

Juvenile polyposis syndrome (JPS) is a rare precancerous condition associated with high susceptibility to colorectal cancer. The genetic basis of JPS has been reported lie in germline mutations BMPR1A or SMAD4, resulting diverse clinical manifestations and an elusive underlying mechanism. We firstly utilized 139-gene next-generation sequencing (NGS) panel detect the variants further employed various prediction tools assess pathogenicity functional alternations. Consequently, we identified...

Alpha‐fetoprotein (AFP) is an early serum growth factor in the foetal liver development and hepatic carcinogenesis; However, precise biological role of cytoplasmic AFP remains elusive. Although we recently demonstrated that might interact with caspase‐3 inhibit signal transduction apoptosis human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells, details this interaction are not clear. To reveal molecular relationship between caspase‐3, performed docking, co‐immunoprecipitation (Co‐IP), laser confocal...

Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell resistance to the effects of paclitaxel has not been adequately addressed. In this study, we found that significantly inhibited viability HLE, Bel 7402 and L-02 cells in a dose- time-dependent manner. HLE resisted cytotoxicity when transfected with pcDNA3.1- afp vectors. However, sensitivity was increased alpha fetoprotein (AFP)-siRNA. associated expression “stemness” markers CD44 CD133. Paclitaxel growth promoted apoptosis by inducing...
