Abstract
Interferon regulatory factor 1 (IRF-1) is a member of the IRF family. It is the first transcription factor to be identified that could bind to the interferon-stimulated response element (ISRE) on the target gene and displays crucial roles in the interferon-induced signals and pathways. IRF-1, as an important medium, has all of the advantages of full cell cycle regulation, cell death signaling transduction, and reinforcing immune surveillance, which are well documented. Current studies indicate that IRF-1 is of vital importance to the occurrence and evolution of multifarious liver diseases, including but not limited to inhibiting the replication of the hepatitis virus (A/B/C/E), alleviating the progression of liver fibrosis, and aggravating hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI). The tumor suppression of IRF-1 is related to the clinical characteristics of liver cancer patients, which makes it a potential indicator for predicting the prognosis and recurrence of liver cancer; additionally, the latest studies have revealed other effects of IRF-1 such as protection against alcoholic/non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (AFLD/NAFLD), cholangiocarcinoma suppression, and uncommon traits in other liver diseases that had previously received little attention. Intriguingly, several compounds and drugs have featured a protective function in specific liver disease models in which there is significant involvement of the IRF-1 signal. In this paper, we hope to propose a prospective research basis upon which to help decipher translational medicine applications of IRF-1 in liver disease treatment.

Front Oncol 2021; 11:605234. [PMID: 33718156 PMCID: PMC7947851 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2021.605234] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2020] [Accepted: 01/20/2021] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and aims This study aimed to determine the relationship between Ki67 expression and the efficacy of postoperative adjuvant transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (PA-TACE) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods The Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) rates between the sub-groups in the ki67 low expression group and the ki67 high expression group and analyze the relationship between the expression of Ki67 and the efficacy of TACE. Results After PSM, there was no significant difference in the RFS and OS between the surgery + TACE and surgery subgroups after 1, 2, or 3 years (RFS: 63.9%, 55.6%, and 42.9% vs. 83.3%, 63.9%, and 55.6%, respectively, P = 0.279; OS: 91.7%, 83.3%, and 74.3% vs. 91.7%, 88.9%, and 71.4%, respectively, P = 0.890) in the Ki67 low-expression group. The RFS and OS were higher in the surgery + TACE subgroup than the surgery subgroup after 1, 2, and 3 years (RFS: 80.0%, 77.5%, and 69.2% vs. 53.5%, 39.5%, and 32.6%, respectively, P<0.001; OS: 97.5%, 85.0%, and 79.5% vs. 79.1%, 48.8%, and 42.9%, respectively, P = 0.001) in the Ki67 high expression group. The RFS was higher in the Ki67 high-expression subgroup than the low-expression subgroup after 1, 2, and 3 years, and OS had no significant difference (RFS: 80.0%, 79.5%, and 69.2% vs. 67.4%, 56.5%, and 46.7%, respectively, P = 0.035; OS: 97.5%, 85.0%, and 79.5% vs. 93.5%, 82.6%, and 75.6%, respectively, P = 0.665) in the surgery + TACE group. Conclusions For patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and high expression of Ki67 (Ki67≥20%), adjuvant hepatic artery chemoembolization after radical liver tumor resection effectively reduced the probability of tumor recurrence after surgery and prolonged the OS of patients. High Ki67 expression during the post-operative follow-up evaluation of hepatocellular carcinoma patients is an indicator for adjuvant TACE therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Infantile hemangioma (IH) is characterized by proliferation and regression. METHODS Based on the GSE127487 dataset, the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between 6, 12, or 24 months and normal samples were screened, respectively. STEM software was used to screen the continued up-regulated or down-regulated in common genes. The modules were assessed by weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). The enrichment analysis was performed to identified the biological function of important module genes. The area under curve (AUC) value and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network were used to identify hub genes. The differential expression of hub genes in IH and normal tissues was detected by qPCR. RESULTS There were 5,785, 4,712, and 2,149 DEGs between 6, 12, and 24 months and normal tissues. We found 1,218 DEGs were up-regulated or down-regulated expression simultaneously in common genes. They were identified as 10 co-expression modules. Module 3 and module 4 were positively or negatively correlated with the development of IH, respectively. These two module genes were significantly involved in immunity, cell cycle arrest and mTOR signaling pathway. The two module genes with AUC greater than 0.8 at different stages of IH were put into PPI network, and five genes with the highest degree were identified as hub genes. The differential expression of these genes was also verified by qRTPCR. CONCLUSION Five hub genes may distinguish for proliferative and regressive IH lesions. The WGCNA and PPI network analyses may help to clarify the molecular mechanism of IH at different stages.

Abstract
Interferon regulatory factors (IRFs) are implicated in regulating inflammatory responses to pathogens and alloantigens. Since transplantation is usually accompanied by ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI), acute and chronic rejections, as well as immunodeficiency due to immunosuppressive drugs, IRFs seem to play a considerable role in allograft outcome. For instance, IRF-1 has been shown to be involved in pathogenesis of IRI; however, IRF-2 exhibits an opposite function. Some IRF-3 and 5 SNPs are associated with better or worse graft survival rates. Of note, IRF-4 inhibition has resulted in improved transplant outcomes. Herein we review available studies about IRFs influence on various stages of transplantation.

Abstract
Newcastle disease virus (NDV) has been classified by the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) as a notable disease-causing virus, and this virus has the ability to infect a wide range of birds. V protein is a non-structural protein of NDV. V protein has been reported to inhibit cell apoptosis (Park et al., 2003a) and promote viral replication (Huang et al., 2003), however, the mechanisms of action of V protein have not been elucidated. In the present study, a yeast two-hybrid screen was performed, and V protein was found to interact with the CacyBP/SIP protein. The results of co-immunoprecipitation and immuno-colocalization assays confirmed the interaction between V protein and CacyBP/SIP. The results of quantitative-PCR and viral plaque assays showed that overexpression of CacyBP/SIP inhibited viral replication in DF-1 cells. Overexpression of CacyBP/SIP in DF-1 cells induced caspase3-dependent apoptosis. The effect of knocking down CacyBP/SIP by siRNA was the opposite of that observed upon overexpression. Moreover, it is known that NDV induces cell apoptosis via multiple caspase-dependent pathways. Furthermore, V protein inhibited cell apoptosis and downregulated CacyBP/SIP expression in DF-1 cells. Taken together, the findings of the current study indicate that V protein interacts with CacyBP/SIP, thereby regulating cell apoptosis and viral replication.

Significance of PIVKA-II levels for predicting microvascular invasion and tumor cell proliferation in Chinese patients with hepatitis B virus-associated hepatocellular carcinoma. Oncol Lett 2018; 15:8396-8404.

Abstract
The present study aimed to determine the levels of prothrombin induced by vitamin K absence-II (PIVKA-II) according to the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) staging system, to develop an appropriate strategy for managing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), particularly early HCC, and to investigate the value of PIVKA-II for predicting prognosis-associated pathological parameters. Clinical information of 117 patients with hepatitis B-associated HCC was retrospectively collected. Preoperative serum PIVKA-II and α-fetoprotein (AFP) levels were measured using a chemiluminescence method. The efficiency of PIVKA-II levels for predicting pathological parameters was evaluated using step-wise logistic regression. The receiver operator characteristic curve was used to evaluate the predictive performance of PIVKA-II levels. It was demonstrated that except for the difference between stages B and C HCC (P=0.923), serum PIVKA-II levels significantly increased according to BCLC stage (P<0.050), however AFP levels did not. In early HCC (stage 0+A), the correlation between PIVKA-II and AFP levels (dual-positive, 64.70% in stage 0; 46.97% in stage A) was relatively weak (r=0.410). PIVKA-II >40 mAU/ml was an independent predictor of microvascular invasion [hazard ratio (HR), 3.77; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.31-10.88; P=0.014; and high Ki67 expression in situ (HR, 2.99; 95% CI, 1.19-7.52; P=0.020). Combined analysis of PIVKA and AFP levels may contribute to an effective strategy for the management of patients with early HCC, as high PIVKA-II levels indicated a more aggressive tumor phenotype. Further investigation of PIVKA-II levels may provide novel insights into the mechanism underlying the metastasis of HCC cells and facilitate the development of novel therapeutic strategies for HCC.
