Objective: To test expression level and glycosylation level of OPN in HCC cell lines with different metastatic potential and HCC tissues, and investigate the correlation between the glycosylation change and the liver cancer transporting as well as its significance.
Methods: The level of OPN expression in liver cancer tissue(6 cases of non-metastasis and 7 cases of metastasis)as well as HCC cell lines with different metastatic potential (L02, Hep3B, MHCC97L, MHCC97H, HCCLM3, HCCLM6)was identified by immunohistochemistry and Western Blot, and then OPN was purified from HCC tissues by immunoprecipitation, followed by glycosylation detection of OPN from non-metastatic and metastatic HCC tissues by multiple lectin blot. Data were analyzed by t-test and variance analysis.
Results: Different levels of OPN expression were observed in HCC cell lines with different metastatic potential (F = 5.04, P = 0.008). Additionally, OPN expression level in HCC tissues with metastasis was higher than that in non-metastasis group (t = 2.447, P < 0.05). Relative optical density value was 0.69 ± 0.21 and 0.45 ± 0.14 respectively. OPN in liver cancer tissue was successfully purified using immunoprecipitation. Followed lectin blotting result showed that OPN protein in metastasis group showed lower affinity to MAL, PHAE, DSA, ConA as compared with that in non-metastasis group (P < 0.05).
Conclusions: The expression of OPN was positively correlated with the enhanced metastasis potential of HCC. OPN from metastasis HCC tissues presented lower level of some specific glycan structures such as a2, 3- sialic acid, bisecting GlcNAc, biantennary, muti-antennary and high mannose type N-glycan structure. This study not only indicates the role of OPN in HCC metastasis for the first time, but also provide experimental support for the mechanism of the function of OPN in the transportation of liver cancer cells as well as offer potential target for clinical treatment.

This study aims to investigate the mechanism of tanshinone Ⅱ_A(Tan Ⅱ_A) in protecting mice from diethylinitrosamine(DEN)/carbon tetrachloride(CCl_4)/ethanol(C_2H_5OH)-induced hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) and HepG2 cells from hydrogen peroxide(H_2O_2)-induced oxidative damage via the phosphoinositide 3-kinase(PI3K)/protein kinase B(Akt) and nuclear factor E2-related factor 2(Nrf2)/heme oxygenase 1(HO-1) signaling pathways. Sixty male C57BL/6J mice were grouped as follows: control, model, low, medium, and high-dose(10, 20, 40 mg·kg~(-1), respectively) Tan Ⅱ_A, and colchicine(0.2 mg·kg~(-1)), with 10 mice in each group.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major global health concern that accounts for more than 80% of all primary hepatic carcinomas. The long noncoding RNA FGD5 antisense RNA 1 (FGD5-AS1) has been linked to HCC cell stemness and proliferation. However, the exact function of FGD5-AS1 in HCC remains unclear.

Background & Aims: The role of infiltrating neutrophils in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is modulated by cellular metabolism, specifically lipid homeostasis. Throughout the progression of HCC, alterations in lipid metabolism are intricately linked with regulation of neutrophil function and the release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). However, how much the protumor effect of a high-fat diet (HFD) depends on NETs and the potential interplay between NETs and other leukocytes in HCC remains uncertain.

Background: The biological significance of MAF1, a tumor suppressor, in carcinogenesis and immune response of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unreported. Understanding the underlying mechanisms by which MAF1 enhances anti-tumor immunity in HCC is crucial for developing novel immunotherapy strategies and enhancing clinical responses to treatment for patients with HCC.
Methods: Mice were subjected to hydrodynamic tail vein injections of transposon vectors to overexpress AKT/NRas, or c-Myc, with or without wild-type (WT) or mutant-activated (-4A) MAF1, or short-hairpin MAF1 (shMAF1).

Background: We aim to comprehensively analyze and validate the prognostic efficacy of tetraspanin 4 (TSPAN4) and several other migrasome-related markers in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Methods: The expression, diagnostic, and prognostic efficacy of five migrasome-related genes in HCC were analyzed using several databases. Five pairs of adjacent non-tumor tissues and HCC tissues were used to validate the expression.
