Prognostic Value of International Normalized Ratio-to-Albumin Ratio and Ferritin Level in Chronic Liver Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Yakup Ulger et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic role of serum ferritin and INR/albumin ratio in patients with chronic liver disease who develop HCC. The results showed that serum ferritin levels and PTAR scores increased in proportion to the severity of liver disease and were associated with poor prognosis.

Limitations and Possibilities of Transarterial Chemotherapeutic Treatment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Charlotte Ebeling Barbier et al.

Summary: Clinical data review highlights the limitations of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) as a treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and the complex interactions between drug delivery, tumor targeting mechanisms, liver pathophysiology, patient and tumor heterogeneity, and resistance mechanisms. Understanding and addressing these factors are essential to improving the effectiveness of TACE and developing novel drug delivery systems for locoregional treatment of HCC.

Substrate Stiffness Drives Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition and Proliferation through the NEAT1-Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway in Liver Cancer

Xichao Xu et al.

Summary: In liver cancer, higher liver tissue stiffness enhances malignant cell phenotypes and promotes G1/S transition. NEAT1 is identified as a matrix stiffness-responsive lncRNA regulating proliferation and EMT. The activation of the WNT/beta-catenin pathway by NEAT1 in response to increasing matrix stiffness drives EMT and proliferation in liver cancer cells.

A Meta-Analysis on the Rate of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Recurrence after Liver Transplant and Associations to Etiology, Alpha-Fetoprotein, Income and Ethnicity

Darren J. H. Tan et al.

Summary: This meta-analysis found that the overall prevalence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence after liver transplant is 13%, with patients beyond the Milan criteria more likely to experience recurrence. Asian populations have the highest rate of HCC recurrence compared to Western and Latin American populations, while patients infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV) have the highest recurrence rate among different liver disease etiologies.

Nox4 Promotes RANKL-Induced Autophagy and Osteoclastogenesis via Activating ROS/PERK/eIF-2α/ATF4 Pathway

Jing Sun et al.

Summary: This study revealed that Nox4 promotes RANKL-induced autophagy and osteoclastogenesis by activating the ROS/PERK/eIF-2α/ATF4 pathway. Inhibition of this pathway significantly suppresses autophagy, providing a novel therapeutic target for osteoclastogenesis-related diseases.

Optimization and Validation of a Novel Three-Dimensional Co-Culture System in Decellularized Human Liver Scaffold for the Study of Liver Fibrosis and Cancer

Kessarin Thanapirom et al.

Summary: This study aimed to develop and validate a co-culture model using decellularized human liver 3D ECM scaffolds as a platform for anti-fibrotic and anti-cancer drug testing. The results suggest that this newly proposed 3D co-culture platform is able to reproduce the natural physio-pathological microenvironment and could be employed for anti-fibrotic and anti-HCC drug screening.

Gluconeogenic enzyme PCK1 deficiency promotes CHK2 O-GlcNAcylation and hepatocellular carcinoma growth upon glucose deprivation

Jin Xiang et al.

Summary: Cancer cells with elevated HBP activity and O-GlcNAcylation are associated with rapid tumor growth. PCK1 knockout leads to increased O-GlcNAcylation under low-glucose conditions, promoting HCC development. Inhibitors targeting HBP-mediated O-GlcNAcylation could be potential therapeutic targets for HCC treatment.

Current Options and Future Directions for NAFLD and NASH Treatment

Chunye Zhang et al.

Summary: NAFLD is a common chronic liver disease with a range of severity from simple steatosis to NASH. Reprogramming antidiabetic and anti-obesity drugs is a major treatment option, targeting hepatic inflammation, fibrosis, and cell death. There is ongoing clinical trials to evaluate various drugs for the treatment of NAFLD, NASH, and liver fibrosis.

3D Cancer Models: Depicting Cellular Crosstalk within the Tumour Microenvironment

Teresa Franchi-Mendes et al.

Summary: The tumour microenvironment consists of multiple non-cancerous cells that interact with tumour cells, influencing disease progression and therapeutic responses. In vitro 3D models have been developed to mimic the complexity of the tumour microenvironment, providing insights for cancer research and drug discovery. Understanding the role of each cell type in the microenvironment is crucial for uncovering potential therapeutic targets.

Tumor Microenvironment Alters Chemoresistance of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Through CYP3A4 Metabolic Activity

Alican Ozkan et al.

Summary: Variations in tumor biology from patient to patient, the low overall survival rate of hepatocellular carcinoma, and changes in microenvironmental properties during the progression of chronic liver diseases present significant clinical challenges. The study found that CYP3A4 enzyme expression levels were linked to chemoresistance in HCC cells, with higher expression associated with cirrhosis-dependent resistance to doxorubicin, and lower expression associated with decreased resistance in response to increased microenvironmental stiffness. This suggests that considering patient-specific tumor microenvironmental factors may be necessary for more effective use of chemotherapeutics in HCC patients.

Mechano-Signaling Aspects of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Mehak Passi et al.

Summary: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, with most cases being associated with chronic liver fibrosis which leads to increased liver tissue stiffness. Changes in tissue stiffness affect mechanical signaling pathways, modulating the progression of HCC-related genes. However, mechanical signaling pathways are still less emphasized in comparison to classical biochemical signaling pathways in our understanding of cancer.
