Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the common malignant tumors. Complement system has become a new focus of cancer research by changing the biological behavior of cancer cells to influence the growth of cancer. Recent studies reported the complement C5a-C5aR1 axis can promote the malignant phenotype of multiple tumors through various signaling pathways.

LukS-PV is the S component of Panton-Valentine leukocidin secreted by Staphylococcus aureus, which has shown anti-cancer activity. Based on previous findings, this study investigated the effects of LukS-PV on HCC migration and the potential molecular mechanisms involving acetylation pathways.

LukS-PV is the S component of Panton-Valetine leukocidin(PVL) secreted by Staphylococcus aureus. Forkhead box O3 (FOXO3) is a member of the FOXO subfamily of transcription factors that acts as a tumor suppressor.

However, the role of C5aR in tumors has not been sufficiently investigated and summarized. The aim of this meta-analysis was to investigate the prognostic value of C5aR in solid tumors as well as the correlation between C5aR and clinicopathological features.

Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for nearly 85% of lung cancer cases. LukS-PV, one of the two components of Panton-Valentine leucocidin (PVL), is produced by Staphylococcus aureus. The present study showed that LukS-PV can induce apoptosis in human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) lines (THP-1 and HL-60).
