ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Liver cancer (LIHC) is a malignant tumor that occurs in the liver and has a high mortality in cancer. The ING family genes were identified as tumor suppressor genes. Dysregulated expression of these genes can lead to cell cycle arrest, senescence and/or apoptosis. ING family genes are promising targets for anticancer therapy. However, their role in LIHC is still not well understood. AIM: To have a better understanding of the important roles of ING family members in LIHC. METHODS: A series of bioinformatics approaches (including gene expression analysis, genetic alteration analysis, survival analysis, immune infiltration analysis, prediction of upstream microRNAs (miRNAs) and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) of ING1, and ING1-related gene functional enrichment analysis) was applied to study the expression profile, clinical relationship, prognostic significance and immune infiltration of ING in LIHC. The relationship between ING family genes expression and tumor associated immune checkpoints was investigated in LIHC. The molecular mechanism of ING1 mediated hepatocarcinogenesis was preliminarily discussed. RESULTS: mRNA/protein expression of different ING family genes in LIHC was analyzed in different databases, showing that ING family genes were highly expressed in LIHC. In 47 samples from 366 LIHC patients, the ING family genes were altered at a rate of 13%. By comprehensively analyzing the expression, clinical pathological parameters and prognostic value of ING family genes, ING1/5 was identified. ING1/5 was related to poor prognosis of LIHC, suggesting that they may play key roles in LIHC tumorigenesis and progression. One of the target miRNAs of ING1 was identified as hsa-miR-214-3p. Two upstream lncRNAs of hsa-miR-214-3p, U91328.1, and HCG17, were identified. At the same time, we found that the expression of ING family genes was correlated with immune cell infiltration and immune checkpoint genes. CONCLUSION: This study lays a foundation for further research on the potential mechanism and clinical value of ING family genes in the treatment and prognosis of LIHC.

ABSTRACT

With the rapid development of science and technology, cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is rapidly becoming an important biomarker for tumor diagnosis, monitoring and prognosis, and this cfDNA-based liquid biopsy technology has great potential to become an important part of precision medicine. cfDNA is the total amount of free DNA in the systemic circulation, including DNA fragments derived from tumor cells and all other somatic cells. Tumor cells release fragments of DNA into the bloodstream, and this source of cfDNA is called circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). cfDNA detection has become a major focus in the field of tumor research in recent years, which provides a new opportunity for non-invasive diagnosis and prognosis of cancer. In this paper, we discuss the limitations of the study on the origin and dynamics analysis of ctDNA, and how to solve these problems in the future. Although the future faces major challenges, it also contains great potential.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To study the relationship between multidrug-resistant (MDR) expression in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and its sensitivity to chemotherapy. METHODS: The specimens of 23 NPC cases were studied by immunohistochemistry with monoclonal antibody of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), multidrug resistance relation protein (MRP), lung-resistance related protein (LRP), topoisomerase II (Topo II), thymidylate synthase (TS), glutathione-S-transferase (GST-pi). Among them, 20 specimens were taken from primary NPC lesion which were treated with two course of cisplatin (DDP) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), 3 specimens were taken from cervical lymph-node of recurrent NPC patients who were treated by radical dissection. RESULTS: Various MDR parameters were expressed differently in 22 cases except for 1 clear cell carcinoma case. The difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). However, there were no significant difference of MDR expression either among various carcinoma pathomorphology cell groups or among different clinical stage groups. Expression of LRP and TS were found in 10 and 14 cases respectively and the chemotherapy responders rates were 20% (2/10) and 28.5% (4/14) respectively. While the chemotherapy responders rates were 70% (7/10) and 5/6 in cases without expression. There was significant difference (P < 0.001, and P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The NPC patients with LRP and TS expression may be less sensitive to chemotherapy with DDP + 5-FU.
