Loss of Runt-related transcription factor 3 induces resistance to 5-fluorouracil and cisplatin in hepatocellular carcinoma
Runt-related transcription factor 3 (RUNX3) is known to function as a tumor suppressor in gastric cancer and other types of cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, its role has not been fully elucidated. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the role of RUNX3 in HCC. We used the human HCC cell lines Hep3B, Huh7 and HLF; RUNX3 cDNA was introduced into Hep3B and Huh7 cell...
متن کاملSorafenib inhibits macrophage-mediated epithelial-mesenchymal transition in hepatocellular carcinoma
Tumor-associated macrophages, crucial components of the microenvironment in hepatocellular carcinoma, hamper anti-cancer immune responses. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of sorafenib on the formation of the tumor microenvironment, especially the relationship between polarized macrophages and hepatocytes. Macrophage infiltration was reduced in patients with hepatocell...
متن کاملLGR5 promotes hepatocellular carcinoma metastasis through inducting epithelial-mesenchymal transition
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the prognostic value of Leucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein coupled receptor 5 (LGR5) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and its role in promoting HCC metastasis. The expression level of LGR5 in liver tumor tissues and adjacent non-tumor tissues were detected adopting immunohistochemistry (IHC), real-time PCR (RT-PCR) and western blot assa...
متن کاملExpression of the serum response factor in hepatocellular carcinoma: implications for epithelial-mesenchymal transition.
The acquisition of a migratory and invasive phenotype by cells of epithelial origin is associated with a gain of mesenchymal characteristics concomitant with a loss of the epithelial phenotype, a phenomenon referred to as epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Vimentin, a cytoplasmic intermediate filament, is characteristic of mesenchymal cells and is usually not expressed in epithelial cells...
متن کاملSuppression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition in hepatocellular carcinoma cells by Krüppel-like factor 4
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most malignant and lethal human cancers. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) enhances the carcinogenesis of HCC, and therapies targeting EMT appear to be promising treatments. We have previously shown that Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) suppressed EMT of HCC cells through downregulating EMT-associated proteins. Here, we examined the roles of microR...
