ABSTRACT

Objective:To discuss the factors related to the prognosis in the alpha fetoprotein(AFP)negative hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)patients,and to construct the nomogram for predicting the survival time of the patients.Methods:The retrospective analysis on data of 2 064 cases of AFP negative HCC patients extracted from the Surveillance,Epidemiology,and End Results(SEER)Database was conducted,and all the patients were divided into training cohort and internal validation cohort at a ratio of 7∶3,and 101 AFP negative HCC patients from the Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital in Hunan Province were regarded as the external validation cohort.The univariate Cox regression analysis results were incorporated into the multivariate analysis,and the independent risk factors for the AFP negative HCC patients were obtained by multivariate Cox analysis to build a cancer specific survival(CSS)prognosis nomogram for the AFP negative HCC patients.The predictive efficacy and clinical utility of the nomogram were evaluated by time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC),calibration plots,and decision curve analysis(DCA).The total score obtained from the nomogram was used for the risk stratification to compare the degree of risk discrimination between the nomogram and the American Joint Committee on Cancer(AJCC)staging system.Results:Ten independent risk factors were selected by multivariate Cox regression analysis to construct 3-year,4-year,and 5-year CSS prognostic nomograms for the AFP negative HCC patients,including the patient's age,pathological grade,surgical status,radiotherapy status,chemotherapy status,lung metastasis status,tumor size,tumor T stage,tumor M stage,and marital status.The area under curve(AUC)for the 3-year,4-year,and 5-year time-dependent ROC in the training cohort were 0.807(95%CI:0.786-0.828),0.804(95%CI:0.782-0.826),and 0.813(95%CI:0.790-0.835),respectively.In the internal validation cohort,they were 0.776(95%CI:0.743-0.810),0.772(95%CI:0.737-0.808),and 0.789(95%CI:0.752-0.826),and in the external validation cohort,they were 0.773(95%CI:0.677-0.868),0.746(95%CI:0.620-0.872),and 0.736(95%CI:0.577-0.895).The calibration plots verified that the nomogram fitted well with the perfect line.The DCA curve revealed that the net benefit of the nomogram was significatly higer than that of the AJCC staging system at certain probability thresholds compared with AJCC staging,the nomogram had a better ability to identify high-risk individuals.Conclusion:The serum AFP expression is one of the prognostic markers for the HCC patients.For those patients with AFP negative expression in serum,different considerations should be taken.The nomogram model based on multiple risk factors is a promising clinical tool for assessing the CSS in the AFP negative HCC patients.

The cell proliferation assay, clone formation assay and protein detection experiment were used to analysis of the effects of orlistat on the viability of human GBC cells. Cell grouping: NOZ cells cultured with medium were set as the control group, cultured with medium + 10 μmol/L orlistat were set as the low-dose orlistat group, cultured with medium + 100 μmol/L orlistat were set as the high-dose orlistat group, respectively. Observation indicators: (1) expression of FASN protein in human GBC cells; (2) effects of orlistat on the proliferation of human GBC NOZ cells; (3) effects of orlistat on apoptosis of human GBC NOZ cells. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, the ANOVA test was used for comparison between groups and the least significant difference method was used for pairwise comparison. Results:(1) Expression of FASN protein in human GBC cells. Results of western blot showed that the relative expression of FASN protein in human GBC NOZ, GBC-SD and SGC-996 cells was 0.57±0.06, 0.12±0.04 and 0.10±0.02, respectively, showing a significant difference among them ( F=115.67, P<0.05). There were significant differences between the NOZ cells and the GBC-SD or the SGC-996 cells ( P<0.05), and there was no significant difference between the GBC-SD cells and the SGC-996 cells ( P>0.05). (2) Effects of orlistat on the proliferation of human GBC NOZ cells. ① Results of cell proliferation assay showed that the absorbance value of NOZ cells was 2.34±0.12, 1.57±0.08 and 1.07±0.13 in the control group, low-dose orlistat group and high-dose orlistat group, respectively, showing a significant difference among them ( F=205.88, P<0.05). ② Results of clone formation assay showed that the number of NOZ cells clones was 257±23, 153±11 and 83±11 in the control group, low-dose orlistat group and high-dose orlistat group, respectively, showing a significant difference among them ( F=92.64, P<0.05). ③Results of western blot showed that the relative expression of Cyclin-D1 protein of NOZ cells was 2.31±0.10, 1.52±0.05 and 1.23±0.11 in the control group, low-dose orlistat group and high-dose orlistat group, respectively, showing a significant difference among them ( F=120.73, P<0.05). The relative expression of CDK-4 protein of NOZ cells was 1.58±0.04, 1.21±0.02 and 1.19±0.04 in the control group, low-dose orlistat group and high-dose orlistat group, respectively, showing a signifi-cant difference among them ( F=110.45, P<0.05). (3) Effects of orlistat on apoptosis of human GBC NOZ cells.

ABSTRACT

Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), programmed death-1 and programmed death-ligand 1 are related to the proliferation, invasion and metastasis of various tumor cells. A variety of antibodies and small molecule drugs targeting HER2 have achieved considerable results in clinical practice. Immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting programmed death-1 and programmed death-ligand 1 have significant effects in clinical application. In the KEYNOTE-811 trial, the combination of immune checkpoint inhibitors and targeted therapy has achieved encouraging results in HER2-positive advanced gastric cancer.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To study the expression of forkhead box P1 (FOXP1) in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), and its clinicopathological and prognostic significance.Methods:The clinical data of ICC patients treated with radical resection at Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from January 1, 2013 to December 12, 2019 were retrospectively analysed. Of 48 ICC patients, there were 24 males and 24 females, with age of (59.1±10.1) years old (range 42 to 83 years old). Their clinicopathological data, including age, gender, tumor size, degree of differentiation, and staging were recorded. Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of FOXP1 protein in ICC cancer tissues and the corresponding adjacent normal tissues. Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival rates and to construct survival curves of patients. Cox regression model was used to analyze factors affecting prognosis of patients.Results:Forty-eight ICC cancer tissues and 40 corresponding paracancerous tissues were collected. The positive rates of FOXP1 proteins in ICC were significantly lower than the adjacent normal tissues [54.2%(26/48) vs. 92.5%(37/40), χ 2=15.76, P<0.05]. The degrees of tumor differentiation, lymph node metastasis, organ invasion and TNM staging were related to expression of FOXP1 ( P<0.05). Forty-two patients were followed-up with a median follow-up time of 11.5 (7.75, 19.25) months. Cox multivariate analysis revealed that invasion to adjacent organs, lymph node metastasis, high TNM staging (stage Ⅲ) and negative expression of FOXP1 were independent risk factors affecting overall survival of ICC patients. The overall survival and recurrence-free survival of FOXP1-positive ICC patients were 17.5 months and 15.5 months, which were significantly higher than the 14.0 months and 11.1 months, respectively, in FOXP1-negative patients. Conclusion:Negative FOXP1 expression was closely correlated with aggressive biological behavior and poor prognosis of ICC. FOXP1 may be used as new diagnostic and therapeutic targets.
