Activated hepatic stellate cells secrete periostin to induce stem cell-like phenotype of residual hepatocellular carcinoma cells after heat treatment

Scientific Reports, 2017
Some evidences show that residual tumor after thermal ablation will progress rapidly. However, its mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we assessed whether activated HSCs could regulate stem cell-like property of residual tumor after incomplete thermal ...

Organoids in pediatric cancer research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.

Tumor neoantigen gene C7orf50 remodels the immune microenvironment by recruiting tumor-associated macrophages to promote hepatocellular carcinoma progression and lung metastasis

Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer
Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a global health challenge with high mortality rates, particularly in patients with advanced disease and lung metastasis.

MiR-612 regulates invadopodia of hepatocellular carcinoma by HADHA-mediated lipid reprogramming

Journal of Hematology & Oncology, 2020
Background MicroRNA-612 (miR-612) has been proven to suppress EMT, stemness, and tumor metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) via PI3K/AKT2 and Sp1/Nanog signaling. However, its biological roles on HCC progression are far from elucidated.

Spatiotemporal and quantitative analyses of phosphoinositides – fluorescent probe—and mass spectrometry‐based approaches

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

Clinical significance of preoperative serum VEGF in predicting metachronous liver metastasis of colorectal cancer: development of a novel nomogram

World Journal of Surgical Oncology
Background Metachronous liver metastasis (MLM) after primary resection of colorectal cancer (CRC) substantially worsens patient prognosis. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a highly bioactive proangiogenic protein.

Activated hepatic stellate cells promote progression of post-heat residual hepatocellular carcinoma from autophagic survival to proliferation

International Journal of Hyperthermia, 2019
Background: Microscopic residual tumor often occurs after thermal ablation for medium-large hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), leading to early aggressive recurrence or late relapse during follow-up.

Extracellular matrix collagen I promotes the tumor progression of residual hepatocellular carcinoma after heat treatment

BMC Cancer, 2018
Background Accelerated malignant behaviors induced by insufficient thermal ablation have been increasingly reported, however, the exact mechanisms are still unclear. Here, we investigated the importance of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in modulating the

Kenya at war : Al-Shabaab and its enemies in Eastern Africa [PDF]

, 2014
Kenya's invasion of southern Somalia, which began in October 2011, has turned into an occupation of attrition – while “blowback” from the invasion has consolidated in a series of deadly Al-Shabaab attacks within Kenya. This article reviews the background

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.
