Hepatocytes which are positive forp42/ 44MAPK, c-fos or c-jun proteins may bepotential malignant pre-cancerous cells.Activation of MAPK and Stat3 proteins may be anearly event in hepatocellular carcinogenesis.展开更多

Emerging evidence indicates that IncRNAs may serve as master gene regulators through various mechanisms. Dysregulation of IncRNAs is often associated with a variety of human diseases including cancer. Of significant interest, recent studies suggest that IncRNAs participate in the p53 tumor suppressor regulatory network. In this review, we discuss how IncRNAs serve as p53 regulators or p53 effectors. Further characterization of these p53-associated IncRNAs in cancer will provide a better understanding of lncRNA- mediated gene regulation in the p53 pathway. As a result, IncRNAs may prove to be valuable biomarkers for cancer diagnosis or poten- tial targets for cancer therapy.展开更多

METHODS The expression of HCV NS 3 and P53 protein was detected with immunohistochemical technique (SP method) in specimens of HCC and PCLT from 47 patients with negative HBV. RESULTS The positive rate of HCV NS 3 protein was lower in HCC (62%) than in PCLT (83%) ( P <0 025). The better differentiaton of cancer cells, the stronger expression of HCV NS 3 protein ( P <0 025). The positive rate of P53 protein in HCC (81%) was higher than in PCLT (47%) ( P <0 025). The worse differentiaton of cancer cells, the stronger expression of P53 protein ( P <0 05). The P53 protein expression was not correlated with the HCV NS 3 protein expression in HCC ( P >0 5), whereas their expression was closely related to PCLT ( P <0 01), and the expression rate of P53 protein in the cases of positive HCV NS 3 protein was higher than that in the cases of negative HCV NS 3 protein. CONCLUSION HCV NS 3 protein may exert its hepatocarcinogenic effect in early stage on host cells by endogenous pathway which may bring about mutation of p53 gene and transformation of hepatocytes.展开更多

They play profound and pervasive roles in manipulating gene expression involved in cell development, proliferation and apoptosis in various eukaryotes, which, in theory, could provide an access to many human diseases in theory. Recent evidence demonstrates that aberrant miRNA expression is a hallmark of tumor development, revealing that miRNA genes could function as potential oncogenes and repressors in the human body. miRNAs can affect tumorigenesis mainly by interrupting the cell cycle at the cellular level and by interacting with signaling, oncogenes and with the response to environmental factors at the molecular level. The established miRNA expression signature could be a potent tool to diagnose and treat human cancers in the future.展开更多
