Abstract Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) promotes tumor antigen-specific T cell responses and enhances the effect of immunotherapy in preclinical settings. Here we report that existence remnant masses due to incomplete RFA (iRFA) is associated with earlier new metastases poor survival patients colorectal cancer liver (CRCLM). Using mouse models, demonstrate iRFA progression hinders efficacy anti-PD-1 therapy. Immune analysis reveals induces sustained local inflammation predominant myeloid...

Systemic nutrition and inflammation are the critical factors in cancer initiation, evolution, progression. This study aimed to evaluate prognostic value of nutritional index (PNI) systemic immune-inflammation (SII) hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients who underwent liver resection. A total 202 HCC met criteria were included study. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used calculate optimal PNI SII cutoff values. relationship between PNI/SII clinicopathologic parameters...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a lethal and aggressive human malignancy. The present study examins the anti-tumor effects of deubiquitylating enzymes (DUB) inhibitors in HCC. It found that inhibitor ubiquitin specific peptidase 8 (USP8) DUB-IN-3 shows most effective anti-cancer responses. Targeting USP8 inhibits proliferation HCC induces cell ferroptosis. In vivo xenograft metastasis experiments indicate inhibition suppresses tumor growth lung metastasis. treatment or depletion decrease...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most prevalent primary liver cancer in adults. Previous studies our laboratory found that long non-coding RNA metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) was upregulated HCC cells, which could affect metastasis and invasion of HCC. However, underlying mechanism remains unknown. Herein, we studied interaction between MALAT1 miR-140 on regulation angiogenesis immunosuppressive properties. We revealed expression VEGF-A significantly...

Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of primary hepatic carcinoma, which a growing public health problem worldwide. One main genetic alterations in HCC deregulated Wnt/β-catenin signaling, activation β-catenin associated with progression HCC. In present study, we aimed to identify novel modulators controlling ubiquitination and stability. USP8 was overexpressed tissues correlated protein level. High expression indicated poor prognosis patients. depletion...

Increasing evidence supports the significance of long non-coding RNA in cancer development. Several recent studies suggest oncogenic activity metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) hepatocellular carcinoma. In this study, we explored molecular mechanisms by which MALAT1 modulates carcinoma biological behaviors. We found that microRNA-204 was significantly downregulated sh-MALAT1 HepG2 cell and 15 tissues quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis....

Abstract The extensive phenotypic and functional heterogeneity of cancer cells plays an important role in tumor progression therapeutic resistance. Characterizing this identifying invasive phenotype may provide possibility to improve chemotherapy treatment. By mimicking cell perfusion through circulatory system metastasis, we develop a unique microfluidic cytometry (MC) platform separate at high throughput further derive physical parameter ‘transportability’ characterize the ability pass...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is an aggressive and heterogeneous disease characterized by high morbidity mortality. The liver the vital organ that participates in tyrosine catabolism, abnormal metabolism could cause various diseases, including HCC. Besides, tumor immune microenvironment involved carcinogenesis can influence patients' clinical outcomes. However, potential role of pattern molecular signature poorly understood HCC.Gene expression, somatic mutations, copy number variation data,...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most prevalent and lethal human malignancies, with quite limited treatment alternatives. The proteasome responsible for protein degradation in eukaryotic cells required maintenance intracellular homeostasis. However, its potential role HCC largely unknown. In current study, we identified translation initiation factor 3 subunit H (EIF3H), belonging to JAB1/MPN/MOV34 (JAMM) superfamily, as a bona fide deubiquitylase O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) HCC....
