The present research was major in investigating the regulation association among hsa_circ_0101432 (has_circ_RPPH1), miR-1258, miR-622 and MAPK1 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and we explored the mechanism underlying pathogenesis of HCC. Microarray analysis was employed to detect hsa_-circ_0101432 expression in HCC. Hsa_circ_0101432 was verified as a circRNA by testing divergent primers and RNase R. And qRT-PCR was performed to determine the expression of hsa_circ_0101432, miR-1258, miR-622 and MAPK1 mRNA. Furthermore, miRanda predicted that mRNAs targeted miR-1258 and miR-622. CCK-8 assay, colony formation assay, flow cytometry as well as transwell assay were performed to detect cell viability, proliferation, apoptosis and invasive ability, respectively. Xenograft in nude mice was applied to observe tumor growth in vivo. Up-regulated hsa_circ_0101432 and downregulated miR-1258 and miR-622 were detected in HCC while Hsa_circ_0101432 enhanced expression of MAPK1 mRNA by targeting miR-1258 and miR-622. Knocking down hsa_circ_0101432 or overexpressing miR-1258 and miR-622 inhibited proliferation and invasive ability of HCC cell and promoted cell apoptosis. Hsa_circ_0101432 was confirmed to promote tumor growth via inhibiting miR-1258 and miR-622 expression and promoting MAPK1 mRNA expression by in vivo experiment. Hsa_circ_0101432 inhibited HCC cell apoptosis, promoted cell proliferation, invasive ability and HCC tumor growth by targeting miR-1258 and miR-622 and upregulating MAPK1 mRNA expression.
Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that the aberrant expression of microRNAs (miRs or miRNAs) may contribute to the initiation and progression of various types of human cancer and may also constitute biomarkers for cancer diagnosis and therapy. However, the specific function of miR‐9 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear, and the mechanisms that underlie HCC are incompletely understood. Here, we report that miR‐9 expression was significantly decreased in clinical tumor tissue samples, as well as in a cohort of HCC cell lines. In addition, it was demonstrated that overexpression of miR‐9 suppressed the proliferative and migratory capacity of HCC cells and impaired cell cycle progression. Furthermore, high mobility group AT‐hook 2 (HMGA2) was verified as a downstream target gene of miR‐9 using a luciferase reporter assay. Quantitative RT‐PCR and western blotting implicated HMGA2 in the miR‐9‐mediated reduction of HCC cell growth. In vivo, transfection with miR‐9 mimics down‐regulated the expression of HMGA2, thus leading to a dramatic reduction in tumor growth in a mouse xenograft model. These results suggest that miR‐9 may exert critical antitumor effects on HCC by directly targeting HMGA2, and the miR9/HMGA2 signaling pathway may be of use for the diagnosis and prognosis of patients with HCC.
BackgroundAt present, Da Vinci robotic assisted hepatectomy has been routinely carried out in conditional units. But there is no report concerning the use of Da Vinci robots for hepatic hydatid cystectomy and experience on this aspect is seldom mentioned before. This study was to summarize the preliminary experience in laparoscopic resection of hepatic hydatidectocyst with the Da Vinci Surgical System (DVSS).Case presentationA 29-year-old female diagnosed as hepatic hydatid in the right anterior lobe of liver was treated with laparoscopic resection by the DVSS under general anesthesia. Appropriate disposal of tumor cell in vascular system and disinfection of surgical field with hypertonic saline were conducted. The hepatic hydatidectocyst was resected completely with an operation time of 130 min, an intraoperative blood loss of 200 ml and a length of hospital stay for five days. The vital signs of patient were stable and no cyst fluid allergy occurred after operation.ConclusionsOur result showed that laparoscopic resection of hepatic hydatidectocyst by using the DVSS is safe and feasible on the basis of hospitals have rich experience in treatment of cystic echinococcosisliver, resection with DVSS and laparoscopic excision.
Autologous HSC transplantation improves liver function and histology in ESLD patients. The administration route of HSC has no significant impact on the efficacy of transplantation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
