Abstract Background Circular RNAs (circRNAs) can be encapsulated into exosomes to participate in intercellular communication, affecting the malignant progression of a variety tumors. Dysfunction CD8 + T cells is main factor immune escape from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Nevertheless, effect exosome-derived circRNAs on T-cell dysfunction needs further exploration. Methods The circCCAR1 tumorigenesis and metastasis HCC was assessed by vitro vivo functional experiments. function measured...

Background: Most patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection will develop hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study aimed to explore the potential mechanism of miR-142-3p in HCC caused by HBV infection. Methods: HepG2 cells and M1 macrophages were cocultured then infected establish an vitro model. MicroRNA (miRNA) messenger RNA (mRNA) expression was analyzed quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) Western blot. The protein expressions COX2, ACSL4, PTGS2,...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most prevalent cancers, and its incidence rate increasing worldwide. At present, there no ideal treatment for HCC. In recent years, molecular-targeted therapy has shown significant therapeutic benefits patients. Ferroptosis a modality regulated cell death, previous studies have found that inducing ferroptosis in liver cancer cells can inhibit progression cancer. The aim this study to investigate regulatory mechanism miR-21-5p regulating HCC cells....

We performed this study to determine the role of IL-17 in immune microenvironment hepatitis B virus- (HBV-) related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).HepG2 cells were treated with IL-17, STAT3 inhibitor S31-201 or IL-6 neutralizing monoclonal antibody (IL-6 mAb). Cell proliferation and migration compared using Counting kit-8 (CCK-8) Transwell assays, respectively. Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR), Western Blot, ELISA, immunofluorescence histological staining used for determining expression...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell-derived exosomes have shown effects on inducing M2 macrophage polarization and promoting HCC progression. MiR-452-5p was reported by recent studies to promote malignancy progression as an exosomal microRNA that secreted cells, of which the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here, we further explored how miR-452-5p functions in HCC. expressions cells examined situ hybridization. Next, cell lines were transfected with mimics or inhibitor miR-452-5p....

Abstract Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common cancer worldwide, and sorafenib first-line drug for the treatment of advanced liver cancer. Resistance to has become major challenge in hepatocellular carcinoma, however, studies have shown that metformin can promote ferroptosis sensitivity. Therefore, aim this study was investigate promotion sensitivity by via ATF4/STAT3 cells. Methods cells Huh7 Hep3B induced resistance (SR) Huh7/SR Hep3B/SR were used as vitro cell models....

Exosomes are becoming an important mediator of the interaction between tumor cells and microenvironment. Ferroptosis is a newly discovered type cell death. However, its role in progression liver cancer largely unknown. The aim presents study was to analyze mechanism by which hepatitis B virus (HBV)-positive secretes exosomes mediate iron death M1 macrophages, thereby promoting development cancer.Liver tissues peripheral blood with positive negative clinical HBV infection were collected,...

Aerobic exercise has shown beneficial effects in the prevention and treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Nevertheless, regulatory mechanism is not turely clear. Therefore, we aim to clarify possible by investigating aerobic on NAFLD its mitochondrial dysfunction.NAFLD rat model was established feeding high fat diet. used oleic acid (OA) treat HepG2 cells. Changes histopathology, lipid accumulation, apoptosis, body weight, biochemical parameters were assessed. In addition,...
