[PMID: 38310202 PMCID: PMC10838261 DOI: 10.1007/s12672-024-00877-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2024] [Indexed: 02/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is significantly associated with adverse prognostic outcomes. The development and progression of different types of human tumors are significantly influenced by APOB. Nevertheless, the significance and pathomechanisms of APOB in HCC have not been conclusively determined. We assessed APOB expression levels in HCC using three publicly available databases of TIMER2.0, UALCAN and Human Protein Atlas. To identify the biological function of APOB, we conducted enrichment analysis via LinkedOmics. Moreover, UALCAN was employed to assess the relationship between APOB expression and clinicopathological features among HCC patients. Additionally, the Kaplan-Meier plotter was utilized to investigate the prognostic relevance of APOB in HCC. To explore potential regulatory ncRNAs that could bind to APOB, we utilized StarBase and GEPIA. Furthermore, the correlation between APOB expression and immune cell infiltration, as well as immune checkpoint genes, was investigated using Spearman's correlation analysis in TISIDB, GEPIA, and TIMER2.0. The findings of our investigation showed a notable decrease in the expression levels of APOB among individuals diagnosed with HCC. Moreover, a noteworthy correlation was observed between the expression of APOB and immune checkpoint genes, alongside the occurrence of immune cell infiltration. The levels of APOB expression in HCC tissues also showed correlations with various clinicopathological features. According to Cox regression analysis, decreased APOB expression emerged as a potential autonomous predictor for OS, RFS, DSS, and PFS among HCC patients. Furthermore, we identified six potential pathways associated with non-coding RNA (ncRNA) as the most promising pathway for APOB in HCC. Our results illuminate the possible involvement of APOB in HCC and offer understanding into its governing mechanisms and medical importance.

Front Med (Lausanne) 2023; 10:1057923. [PMID: 37138751 PMCID: PMC10150635 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2023.1057923] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2022] [Accepted: 03/15/2023] [Indexed: 05/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Background To evaluate the efficacy of the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programs on the systemic inflammatory response (SIR) of patients following gynecological surgery, a randomized controlled trial was performed to compare the ERAS programs with the conventional perioperative care programs. Furthermore, novel SIR markers could be identified to evaluate the ERAS programs of gynecological surgery. Methods Patients undergoing gynecological surgery were randomly allocated to either the ERAS group or the conventional group. The correlations between the elements of ERAS protocols and SIR markers following gynecological surgery were evaluated. Results A total of 340 patients who underwent gynecological surgery were enrolled (ERAS = 170; conventional = 170). First, we identified whether the ERAS programs after gynecological surgery reduced the perioperative difference between neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR). Interestingly, first flatus time postoperatively, visual analog scale (VAS) score of patients was positively correlated with the perioperative difference NLR or PLR. Moreover, we discovered that the perioperative difference NLR or PLR was correlated with elements of ERAS protocol, including first sips of water, first semifluid diet postoperatively, pelvic drain duration, and out-of-bed time of patients. Conclusion We originally reveal that certain elements of ERAS programs alleviated SIR to operation. The implementation of ERAS programs enhances postoperative recovery after gynecological surgery via improving system inflammatory status. NLR or PLR could be the novel and inexpensive marker to assess ERAS programs in gynecological surgery.Clinical trial registration:ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier, NCT03629626.

Abstract
The primary objective of this investigation was to determine the hub genes of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) through an in silico approach. In the current context of the increased incidence of liver cancers, this approach could be a useful prognostic biomarker and HCC prevention target. This study aimed to examine hub genes for immune cell infiltration and their good prognostic characteristics for HCC research. Human genes selected from databases (Gene Cards and DisGeNET) were used to identify the HCC markers. Further, classification of the hub genes from communicating genes was performed using data derived from the targets' protein-protein interaction (PPI) platform. The expression as well as survival studies of all these selected genes were validated by utilizing databases such as GEPIA2, HPA, and immune cell infiltration. Based on the studies, five hub genes (TP53, ESR1, AKT1, CASP3, and JUN) were identified, which have been linked to HCC. They may be an important prognostic biomarker and preventative target of HCC. In silico analysis revealed that out of five hub genes, the TP53 and ESR1 hub genes potentially act as key targets for HCC prevention and treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS HCC is a leading cause of mortality in patients with advanced liver disease and is associated with significant morbidity. Despite multiple available curative and palliative treatments, there is a lack of systematic evaluation of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in HCC. APPROACH AND RESULTS The American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases Practice Metrics Committee conducted a scoping review of PROs in HCC from 1990 to 2021 to (1) synthesize the evidence on PROs in HCC and (2) provide recommendations on incorporating PROs into clinical practice and quality improvement efforts. A total of 63 studies met inclusion criteria investigating factors associated with PROs, the relationship between PROs and survival, and associations between HCC therapy and PROs. Studies recruited heterogeneous populations, and most were cross-sectional. Poor PROs were associated with worse prognosis after adjusting for clinical factors and with more advanced disease stage, although some studies showed better PROs in patients with HCC compared to those with cirrhosis. Locoregional and systemic therapies were generally associated with a high symptom burden; however, some studies showed lower symptom burden for transarterial radiotherapy and radiation therapy. Qualitative studies identified additional symptoms not routinely assessed with structured questionnaires. Gaps in the literature include lack of integration of PROs into clinical care to guide HCC treatment decisions, unknown impact of HCC on caregivers, and the effect of palliative or supportive care quality of life and health outcomes. CONCLUSION Evidence supports assessment of PROs in HCC; however, clinical implementation and the impact of PRO measurement on quality of care and longitudinal outcomes need future investigation.

Abstract
Despite advancements made in the therapeutic strategies on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the survival rate of HCC patient is not satisfactory enough. Therefore, there is an urgent need for the valuable prognostic biomarkers in HCC therapy. In this study, we aimed to screen hub genes correlated with prognosis of HCC via multiple databases. 117 HCC-related genes were obtained from the intersection of the four databases. We subsequently identify 10 hub genes (JUN, IL10, CD34, MTOR, PTGS2, PTPRC, SELE, CSF1, APOB, MUC1) from PPI network by Cytoscape software analysis. Significant differential expression of hub genes between HCC tissues and adjacent tissues were observed in UALCAN, HCCDB and HPA databases. These hub genes were significantly associated with immune cell infiltrations and immune checkpoints. The hub genes were correlated with clinical parameters and survival probability of HCC patients. 147 potential targeted therapeutic drugs for HCC were identified through the DGIdb database. These hub genes could be used as novel prognostic biomarkers for HCC therapy.

Abstract
Liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC) seriously endangers the health and quality of life of individuals worldwide. Increasing evidence has underscored that the copper metabolism MURR1 domain (COMMD) family plays important roles in tumorigenesis. However, the specific role, biological function, mechanism and prognostic value of COMMD2 and its correlation with immune cell infiltration in LIHC remain unknown. In this study, we first determined the expression and prognostic potential of COMMD2 in human tumors using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data and identified COMMD2 as a potential oncogene in LIHC. High COMMD2 expression was associated with pathological tumor stage and metastasis. Subsequently, noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) upregulating COMMD2 expression were identified by performing expression, correlation, and survival analyses in combination. The CRNDE/LINC00511/SNHG17/HCG18-miR-29c-3p axis was identified as the most likely ncRNA-associated pathway upstream of COMMD2 in LIHC. Next, the expression profiles of COMMD2 and ncRNAs were validated in LIHC tissues and adjacent normal tissues. Furthermore, COMMD2 was significantly positively correlated with tumor immune cell infiltration, immune cell biomarkers, and immune checkpoint molecule expression. Importantly, COMMD2 potentially influenced prognosis by regulating immune cell infiltration in LIHC. Finally, COMMD2 was knocked down in LIHC cell lines using siRNAs for functional assays in vitro, resulting in suppressed cell proliferation and migration. In summary, our findings showed that the ncRNA-mediated upregulation of COMMD2 was associated with an unfavorable prognosis correlated with immune cell infiltration in LIHC.

Abstract
Objective Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol has widely gained acceptance in gynecological surgery. Its safety and efficacy should be evaluated fully via well-designed, randomized, control trials. The main objective of our study is to compare the ERAS protocol with the conventional perioperative care program after gynecological oncology. Furthermore, the secondary objectives of our study are the identification of markers that allow us to evaluate the effectiveness of the application of ERAS elements in the modulation of the body's response to surgical stress. Methods Patients with gynecological tumors indicated for surgery were randomly assigned to either the ERAS group or the conventional group. The ERAS protocol included short fasting time, fluid restriction, early oral feeding, reduced opioid consumption and immediate mobilization after surgery. The primary endpoint was the reduction of hospital stay in the ERAS group. The day of first flatus, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), maximum pain score by the visual analogue scale (VAS) and complication, readmission rate, reoperation rate, postoperative mortality, total hospital cost and systemic inflammatory response (SIR) were secondary endpoints. Results A total of 130 patients in gynecological tumor surgery were enrolled (ERAS = 65, conventional = 65). The ERAS group had faster bowel function recovery, significantly less pain, less PONV, shorter hospital stay, and less total hospital costs. SIR markers were estimated and screened out that postoperative platelet, neutrophil-lymphocyte-ratio (NLR) and platelet-lymphocyte-ratio (PLR) were significantly lower in ERAS groups compared to conventional groups. Conclusion The implementation of ERAS protocol is safe and enhances postoperative recovery after gynecological oncology surgery. We firstly reveal the beneficial effect of ERAS protocols on the alleviation of postoperative SIR, which is a reflection of the magnitude of surgical trauma. Postoperative platelet, NLR or PLR could be the novel and inexpensive markers to assess how ERAS protocols modulate gynecological oncology surgery. Trial Registration The trial was registered in ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03629626).

Identification of Hub Genes Associated With Immune Infiltration and Predict Prognosis in Hepatocellular Carcinoma via Bioinformatics Approaches. Front Genet 2021; 11:575762. [PMID: 33505422 PMCID: PMC7831279 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2020.575762] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2020] [Accepted: 12/07/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Aims In the cancer-related research field, there is currently a major need for a greater number of valuable biomarkers to predict the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this study, we aimed to screen hub genes related to immune cell infiltration and explore their prognostic value for HCC. Methods We analyzed five datasets (GSE46408, GSE57957, GSE74656, GSE76427, and GSE87630) from the Gene Expression Omnibus database to screen the differentially expressed genes (DEGs). A protein-protein interaction network of the DEGs was constructed using the Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes; then, the hub genes were identified. Functional enrichment of the genes was performed on the Metascape website. Next, the expression of these hub genes was validated in several databases, including Oncomine, Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis 2 (GEPIA2), and Human Protein Atlas. We explored the correlations between the hub genes and infiltrated immune cells in the TIMER2.0 database. The survival curves were generated in GEPIA2, and the univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed using TIMER2.0. Results The top ten hub genes [DNA topoisomerase II alpha (TOP2A), cyclin B2 (CCNB2), protein regulator of cytokinesis 1 (PRC1), Rac GTPase-activating protein 1 (RACGAP1), aurora kinase A (AURKA), cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 3 (CDKN3), nucleolar and spindle-associated protein 1 (NUSAP1), cell division cycle-associated 5 (CDCA5), abnormal spindle microtubule assembly (ASPM), and non-SMC condensin I complex subunit G (NCAPG)] were identified in subsequent analysis. These genes are most markedly enriched in cell division, suggesting their close association with tumorigenesis. Multi-database analyses validated that the hub genes were upregulated in HCC tissues. All hub genes positively correlated with several types of immune infiltration, including B cells, CD4+ T cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells. Furthermore, these hub genes served as independent prognostic factors, and the expression of these hub genes combing with the macrophage levels could help predict an unfavorable prognosis of HCC. Conclusion In sum, these hub genes (TOP2A, CCNB2, PRC1, RACGAP1, AURKA, CDKN3, NUSAP1, CDCA5, ASPM, and NCAPG) may be pivotal markers for prognostic prediction as well as potentially work as targets for immune-based intervention strategies in HCC.
