| 1 | Prognostic factors affecting postoperative survival of patients with solitary small hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘Background: Small hepatocellular carcinoma(sHCC) is a unique variant of HCC that is characterized by small tumor size(maximum tumor diameter predic≤3 cm) and favorable long?term outcomes. The present study aimed to define clin?icopathologic factors that t survival in patients with s HCC.Methods: The study population consisted of 335 patients who underwent hepatectomy for solitary s HCC between December 1998 and 2010. Prognostic factors were evaluated using Kaplan–Meier curves and Cox proportional hazard models.Results: The 5?year overall survival(OS) and recurrence?free survival(RFS) rates were 77.7% and 59.9%, respectively. Kaplan–Meier curves showed that tumor size and vascular invasion had prognostic significance within this relatively selected cohort(P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis confirmed that increased tumor size and vascular invasion were independent prognostic factors for short OS(hazard ratio [HR] = 2.367, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.406–3.985; HR = 2.954, 95% CI 1.781–4.900) and RFS(HR = 1.779, 95% CI 1.259–2.514; HR < 0.05). Importantly, a proposed prognostic scoring model was deri= 1.699, 95% CI 1.165–2.477) in s HCC patients(Pved according to the two variables; tumor size and extent of vascular invasion were significantly associated with OS and RFS in patients with s HCC(P < 0.001).Conclusions: Tumor size and vascular invasion are feasible and useful prognostic factors for s HCC. The proposed prognostic model, based on tumor size and vascular invasion, is informative in predicting survival in s HCC patients undergoing hepatectomy. | Mu-Yan Cai Feng-Wei Wang Chang-Peng Li Li-Xu Yan Jie-Wei Chen Rong-Zhen Luo Jing-Ping Yun Yi-Xin Zeng Dan Xie | 2016 | Chinese Journal of Cancer2016,35,10: | 6 |
| 2 | EYA4 inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma growth and invasion by suppressing NF-κB-dependent RAP1 transactivation显示文摘Background:Our previous studies demonstrated that eyes absent homolog 4(EYA4),a member of the eye devel-opment-related EYA family in Drosophila,is frequently methylated and silenced in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)specimens and associated with shorter survival.The current work aimed to explore the mechanisms through which EYA4 functions as a tumor suppressor in HCC.Methods:Stable EYA4-expressing plasmid(pEYA4)transfectants of the human HCC cell lines Huh-7 and PLC/PRF/5(PLC)were established.Xenografts tumors were established via subcutaneous injection of the stable transfectants into BALB/c nude mice.Tissue samples were obtained from 75 pathologically diagnosed HCC patients.Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction,Western blotting and immunohistochemistry were performed to determine the expression of EYA4 in cell lines,xenografts and clinical specimens.The cell proliferation,colony formation,invasiveness and tumor formation of stable transfectants were studied.A gene expression microarray was utilized to screen genes regulated by EYA4 expression.The effect of EYA4 on nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB)/RAS-related protein 1(RAP1)signaling was demonstrated through the co-transfection of pEYA4 and Flag-tagged RAS-related protein 1A gene-expressing plasmid(Flag-RAP1A),functional studies,chromatin immunoprecipitation,immunofluorescence staining and cellular ubiquitination assay.Results:The restoration of EYA4 expression in HCC cell lines suppressed cell proliferation,inhibited clonogenic outgrowth,reduced cell invasion and restrained xenograft tumor growth,and Flag-RAP1A reversed the suppressive effects of pEYA4 in vitro.Activation of NF-κB with tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)increased the binding of p65 to the RAP1A gene promoter and up-regulated RAP1 protein expression.The inhibition of NF-κB with BAY 11-7085 and p65 siRNA successfully blocked TNF-α-induced RAP1 up-regulation.EYA4 antagonized the TNF-α-induced phosphoryla-tion and ubiquitination of inhibitor of NF-κBα(IκBα)as well as the nuclear translocation and transactivation of p65,resulting in repressed NF-κB activity and RAP1 expression.Blocking the serine/threonine phosphatase activity of EYA4 with calyculin A notably abrogated its suppressive effect on NF-κB activity.In addition,EYA4 expression was inversely correlated with IκBα/RAP1 activity in clinical HCC specimens.Conclusion:Our findings provide a functional and mechanistic basis for identifying EYA4 as a bona fide tumor sup-pressor that disrupts aberrant activation of the NF-κB/RAP1 signaling pathway and thus orchestrates a physiological impediment to HCC growth and invasion. | Shi-Jing Mo Xun Hou Xiao-Yi Hao Jian-Peng Cai Xin Liu Wei Chen Dong Chen Xiao-Yu Yin | 2018 | Cancer Communications2018,38,1: | 4 |
| 3 | EYA4通过抑制NF-κB依赖的RAP1反式激活抑制肝细胞癌的生长和侵袭显示文摘背景与目的我们之前研究表明,眼缺失蛋白同源物4(eyes absent homolog 4,EYA4)是果蝇眼部发育相关的眼缺乏蛋白家族成员之一,在肝细胞癌(hepatocellular carcinoma,HCC)标本中常发生甲基化和沉默,并与患者生存期短密切相关。本研究旨在探讨EYA4在HCC中作为肿瘤抑制因子的作用机制。方法转染EYA4表达质粒(pEYA4)构建稳定表达EYA4的人HCC细胞系Huh-7和PLC/PRF/5(PLC)。通过BALB/c裸鼠皮下注射稳定转染细胞建立异种移植肿瘤。组织标本来自75例病理诊断为HCC的患者。采用实时定量聚合酶链式反应(real-time polymerase chain reaction,real-time PCR)、蛋白质免疫印迹和免疫组织化学的方法检测EYA4在细胞系、异种移植物和临床标本中的表达;研究了稳定转染细胞系的细胞增殖、克隆形成、侵袭性和肿瘤形成。利用基因表达芯片筛选EYA4调节的基因。通过共转染EYA4和带Flag标签的RAS相关蛋白1A(RAS-related protein 1A,RAP1A)基因的表达质粒(pEYA4和Flag-RAP1A)、功能研究、染色质免疫共沉淀、免疫荧光染色和细胞泛素化分析等方法,研究了EYA4对核因子-κB(nuclear factor-κB,NF-κB)/RAS相关蛋白1(RAS-related protein 1,RAP1)信号通路的影响。结果恢复HCC细胞系中EYA4的表达可抑制细胞的增殖、抑制克隆形成、降低细胞的侵袭性和抑制异种移植肿瘤生长,在体外实验中Flag-RAP1A可逆转pEYA4的抑制作用。用肿瘤坏死因子-α(tumor necrosis factor-α,TNF-α)激活NF-κB通路可增加p65与RAP1A基因启动子的结合并上调RAP1蛋白的表达。用BAY 11-7085和p65 siRNA抑制NF-κB通路,成功阻断了TNF-α诱导的RAP1上调。EYA4拮抗了TNF-α诱导的NF-κB抑制因子α(inhibitor of NF-κBα,IκBα)的磷酸化和泛素化以及p65的核易位和反式激活,进而抑制了NF-κB的活性和RAP1的表达。用calyculin A阻断EYA4的丝氨酸/苏氨酸磷酸酶活性可显著消除其对NF-κB活性的抑制作用。此外,EYA4的表达与HCC临床标本中IκBα/RAP1活性呈负相关。结论我们的研究结果为明确EYA4是真正的肿瘤抑制因子提供了功能和机制的理论基础,该肿瘤抑制因子可抑制NF-κB/RAP1信号通路的异常激活,从而抑制HCC生长和侵袭。 | Shi-Jing Mo Xun Hou Xiao-Yi Hao Jian-Peng Cai Xin Liu Wei Chen Dong Chen Xiao-Yu Yin胆胰外科 | 2019 | 癌症2019,38,2: | 2 |
