Both SETD2-mediated H3K36me3 and miRNAs play critical epigenetic roles in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and involve in the dysfunctional intestinal barrier. However, little is known about cross-talk between these two types of regulators in IBD progression. We performed small RNA sequencing of Setd2 epithelium-specific knockout mice (Setd2) and wild-type controls, both with DSS-induced colitis, and designed a framework for integrative analysis.

Objectives: To explore the effects of E-selectin, ICAM-1 and their ligands on the adhesive metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and to select possible anti-adhesion drugs for hepatocellular carcinoma metastasis.
Methods: 78 HCC patients were analyzed with the correlation of clinical features to the expression levels of E-selectin, sLeX, sLeA and CD44v6 in the tumor tissue. The adhesion between HepG2 and endothelial cell lines was examined by solid phase adhesion assay in vitro.
