Proteomic Expression Signature Distinguishes Cancerous and Nonmalignant Tissues in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Proteomic Analysis of Gene Expression in Basal Cell Carcinoma

Background: Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) is a type of non-melanoma skin cancer. Alteration in gene expression is the important event that happens in cancer cell. Detection of this event is possible by proteomics techniques. Methods: Normal and tumor tissues were taken from BCC patient. Total proteins were purified by standard methods, and proteins were separated by two-dimensional electrophoresis...

GPX4 and GPX7 Over-Expression in Human Hepatocellular Carcinoma Tissues

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of liver cancer and is still one of the most fatal cancers. Hence, it needs to identify always new putative markers to improve its diagnosis and prognosis. The selenium is an essential trace mineral implicated as a key factor in the early stage of cancer and exerts its biological function through the selenoproteins. In the last years our gr...

A Seven-microRNA Expression Signature Predicts Survival in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth common cancer. The differential expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) has been associated with the prognosis of various cancers. However, limited information is available regarding genome-wide miRNA expression profiles in HCC to generate a tumor-specific miRNA signature of prognostic values. In this study, the miRNA profiles in 327 HCC patients, including ...

Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Sheep

Expression of apolipoprotein M in human hepatocellular carcinoma tissues.

The present study examined mRNA levels and protein mass of apolipoprotein M (apoM) in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues and in the adjacent tissues. Plasma apoM levels in these HCC patients were also determined and compared to the normal subjects. The mean level of plasma apoM in the HCC patients was 0.61±0.30ODmm⁻², which was significantly higher than that in the normal subjects 0.3...
