Blastocyst complementation can potentially generate a rodent model with humanized nasopharyngeal epithelium (NE) that supports sustained Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, enabling comprehensive studies of EBV biology in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. However, during this process, the specific gene knockouts required to establish a developmental niche for NE remain unclear. We performed bioinformatics analyses and generated Foxa1 mutant mice to confirm that Foxa1 disruption could potentially create a developmental niche for NE.

Objective: To investigate the treatment outcomes, failure patterns and surveillance strategy in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) after intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT).

Methods: A cohort of patients with NPC who had received the full course of IMRT between 2008 and 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. The failure patterns, time to recurrence, and detection methods were recorded.

Expression of Pregnancy Up-regulated Non-ubiquitous Calmodulin Kinase (PNCK) in Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Cancer Genomics Proteomics

June 2021

Department of Pathology and Translational Genomics, Samsung Medical Center, Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea

Background/aim: Pregnancy up-regulated non-ubiquitous calmodulin kinase (PNCK) is a member of calmodulin kinase, and overexpression of PNCK with involvement in carcinogenesis have been reported in HER-2 amplified breast cancer, clear cell renal cell carcinoma and nasopharygeal carcinoma. However, the expression of PNCK and its clinical implication have not been elucidated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Materials And Methods: We investigated PNCK expression at both the protein and mRNA level using immunohistochemistry (IHC) and microarray gene expression profiling in HCC tissue samples, and evaluated its association with clinicopathological parameters and their potential prognostic significance.
