Autoantibody signature in hepatocellular carcinoma using seromics.

J Hematol Oncol

July 2020

Liver Cancer Institute, Zhongshan Hospital, and Key Laboratory of Carcinogenesis and Cancer Invasion (Ministry of Education), Fudan University, Shanghai, 200032, China.

Background: Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a widely used biomarker for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) early detection. However, low sensitivity and false negativity of AFP raise the requirement of more effective early diagnostic approaches for HCC.

Methods: We employed a three-phase strategy to identify serum autoantibody (AAb) signature for HCC early diagnosis using protein array-based approach.

rbm47, a novel RNA binding protein, regulates zebrafish head development.

Dev Dyn

December 2013

Zebrafish Centre for Advanced Drug Discovery, Keenan Research Centre, Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute, St. Michael's Hospital, Toronto, Ontario, Canada; Department of Medicine, Physiology and Institute of Medical Science, University of Toronto, Canada; Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology, University of Toronto & Program in Physiology and Experimental Medicine, The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada; Key Laboratory of Cancer Proteomics of Chinese Ministry of Health, Xiangya Hospital and Cancer Research Institute, Central South, Hunan Province, China.

Background: Vertebrate trunk induction requires inhibition of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling, whereas vertebrate head induction requires concerted inhibition of both Wnt and BMP signaling. RNA binding proteins play diverse roles in embryonic development and their roles in vertebrate head development remain to be elucidated.

Results: We first characterized the human RBM47 as an RNA binding protein that specifically binds RNA but not single-stranded DNA.

Knockdown of ZNF403 inhibits cell proliferation and induces G2/M arrest by modulating cell-cycle mediators.

Mol Cell Biochem

June 2012

Key Laboratory of Cancer Proteomics of Chinese Ministry of Health, Xiangya Hospital and Cancer Research Institute, Central South University, Changsha 410008, Hunan Province, China.

ZNF403, also known as GGNBP2 (gametogenetin binding protein 2), is a highly conserved gene implicated in spermatogenesis. However, the exact biological function of ZNF403 is not clear. In this study, we identified the role of ZNF403 in cell proliferation and cell-cycle regulation by utilizing short hairpin RNA (shRNA)-mediated knockdown.
