The value of late protocol biopsies after liver transplantation remains to be evaluated highlight the therapeutic policies. study population was composed patients who survived with initial graft and an available 10-year biopsy (n = 143). long-term histologic outcome graft, particularly rate ductopenia in cases chronic rejection (CR), Metavir scoring fibrosis viral hepatitis (VCH), were assessed. Fibrosis progression (FP) rates compared over 3 periods (0-5, 5-10, 0-10 years). At 10 years,...

Caveolin-1 is the main component of caveolae membrane structures and has different roles during tumorigenesis in cancer types with varying expression profiles, indicating that role caveolin-1 varies according to tumor type. In this study, we investigated hepatocellular carcinogenesis.We analyzed 96 carcinoma (HCC), 29 cirrhosis, 20 normal liver tissues 9 HCC cell lines by immunostaining western blotting, respectively. After was stably transfected HepG2 Huh7 cells, effects on cellular...

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are known to play an important role in cell migration during cancer invasion by degrading extracellular matrix proteins. This study aimed determine the of MMP-9 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) carcinogenesis. Eighty-nine cases who underwent liver transplantation for HCC cirrhotic were selected this study. The tumor characteristics such as nodule number, maximal diameter, portal vein invasion, and preoperative alpha-fetoprotein levels reviewed. intensity...

Fibrolamellar carcinoma has a distinctive morphology and immunophenotype, including cytokeratin 7 CD68 co-expression. Despite the distinct findings, accurate diagnosis of fibrolamellar continues to be challenge. Recently, carcinomas were found harbor characteristic somatic gene fusion, DNAJB1-PRKACA. A break-apart fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) assay was designed detect this fusion event examine its diagnostic performance large, multicenter, multinational study. Cases initially...

Abstract Based on characterization of both genomic and expression status WT1 CTNNB1 (β‐catenin) in a series 60 Wilms tumor samples, combined with genome‐wide profiling these tumors, normal mature fetal kidney controls, we show that WT1/β‐catenin was better classifier than / mutations. We present molecular data supporting the WNT pathway is involved classes, without alterations. In class alterations, identified overexpression 14 previously unreported target genes, including TWIST1 . protein...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third most common cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Deregulation AKT signaling pathway has been found in HCC. However, effect activation on proliferation and apoptosis HCC not clear. Herein, expression phosphorylated form (Ser 473) was investigated tumor (n=73), cirrhosis (n=17), normal liver (n=22) samples cell lines (n=8). The results showed that p-AKT higher (53%) than cirrhotic tissues (12%) while it absent (p<0.0001). also associated with...
