Identification of FGG as a Biomarker in Early Gastric Cancer via Tissue Proteomics and Clinical Verification.

Early and accurate diagnosis of gastric cancer (GC) is essential for reducing mortality and improving patient well-being. However, methods for the early diagnosis of GC are still lacking. In this study, by isobaric tagging for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ), we identified 336 proteins that overlapped among the upregulated differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in early gastric cancer (EGC) versus progressive gastric cancer (PGC), upregulated DEPs in EGC versus nongastric cancer (NGC), and nonsignificant proteins in EGC versus NGC.

Identification of PRTN3 as a novel biomarker for the diagnosis of early gastric cance.

Gastric cancer (GC) remains one of the most common types of cancer worldwide and has a high mortality rate. However, tools for the early detection of gastric cancer are still lacking. Isobaric tagging for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) proteomic assays were conducted to identify and quantify the differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in the gastric mucosal tissues of GC patients at different stages.

MicroRNA-29c Acting on FOS Plays a Significant Role in Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis Through the Interleukin-17 Signaling Pathway.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is the most common hepatic disease in western countries and is even more ubiquitous in Asian countries. Our study determined that TH17/Treg cells were imbalanced in animal models. Based on our interest in the mechanism underlying TH17/Treg cell imbalance in nonalcoholic fatty liver mice, we conducted a joint bioinformatics analysis to further investigate this process.

Menstrual blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells attenuate inflammation and improve the mortality of acute liver failure combining with A2AR agonist in mice.

Background And Aim: Acute liver failure (ALF) poses a serious public health issue. The menstrual blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MenSCs) have been applied to cure various liver-related diseases. However, the efficacy and mechanism are far from clear.

Dietary Copper Plays an Important Role in Maintaining Intestinal Barrier Integrity During Alcohol-Induced Liver Disease Through Regulation of the Intestinal HIF-1α Signaling Pathway and Oxidative Stress.

Impaired intestinal barrier function and oxidative stress injury play critical roles in the pathogenesis of alcoholic liver disease (ALD), and recent investigations have revealed a role for dietary copper in the liver and intestinal barrier function. Therefore, the current study investigates the mechanisms and role of dietary copper in alcohol induced liver diseases. C57BL/6 mice were used to create an alcoholic liver disease model with a Lieber-DeCarli diet containing 5% alcohol and were fed with different concentrations of dietary copper of adequate (6 ppm, CuA), marginal (1.

microRNA-143-3p attenuated development of hepatic fibrosis in autoimmune hepatitis through regulation of TAK1 phosphorylation.

Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic liver disease due to autoimmune system attacks hepatocytes and causes inflammation and fibrosis. Intracellular signalling and miRNA may play an important role in regulation of liver injury. This study aimed to investigate the potential roles of microRNA 143 in a murine AIH model and a hepatocyte injury model.
