Abstract
Hepatoblastoma (HB) is a common primary liver malignant tumor in children. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are closely engaged in HB progression. The role and regulatory molecule mechanism of lncRNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 1 (SNHG1) in HB remain unclear. Through qRT-PCR or western blot, we found that SNHG1 and proviral integration site for moloney murine leukemia virus 3 (PIM3) were elevated but miR-6838-5p was decreased in HB cells. Cell biology experiments revealed that SNHG1 depletion or miR-6838-5p upregulation suppressed cell proliferation, migration, and invasion of HB cells. Mechanistically, luciferase activity assay validated that miR-6838-5p could interact with SNHG1 or PIM3. SNHG1 up-regulated PIM3 expression via sponging miR-6838-5p. Moreover, miR-6838-5p inhibitor abolished SNHG1 depletion-mediated suppression of malignant behaviors in HB cells. PIM3 overexpression neutralized miR-6838-5p mimics-mediated repression of malignant phenotypes in HB cells. Furthermore, miR-6838-5p overexpression suppressed RhoA activation, which was restored by PIM3 upregulation. What's more, the results at the cellular level were further verified by nude mice tumor formation experiment. In conclusion, SNHG1 regulated miR-6838-5p/PIM3/RhoA axis to promote malignant phenotypes of HB, which might provide novel therapeutic target for HB treatment.

Clinical outcomes and tumor microenvironment response to radiofrequency ablation therapy: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Gland Surg 2024; 13:4-18. [PMID: 38323236 PMCID: PMC10839696 DOI: 10.21037/gs-22-555] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2022] [Accepted: 06/15/2023] [Indexed: 02/08/2024]
Abstract
Background Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) utilizes minimally invasive high-energy current to precisely ablate tumor cells. It has been utilized in many cancer types including thyroid, lung, and liver cancer. It has been shown to provide adequate ablative margins with minimal complications; however, incomplete RFA may lead to recurrence of tumor. The underlying cellular mechanism and behavior of ablated cancer tissue is poorly understood. Methods A systematic review was performed, searching EMBASE, Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus for studies published up to March 2022 and reported following PRISMA guidelines. Collection was performed by two groups of investigators to avoid risk of bias. The Cochrane Collaboration's tool was used for assessing risk of bias. We identified human, in vivo, and in vitro research studies utilizing RFA for tumor tissues. We required that the studies included at least one of the following: complications, recurrence, or survival, and took interest to studies identifying cellular signaling pathway patterns after RFA. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed in 'R' software including mean and confidence interval. Results The most frequent cancers studied were liver and lung cancers accounting for 57.4% (N=995) and 15.4% (N=267), followed by esophageal (N=190) and breast cancer (N=134). The most common reported complications were bleeding (19%) and post-operative pain (14%). In our literature search, four independent studies showed upregulation and activation of the VEGF pathway following RFA, four showed upregulation and activation of the AKT pathway following RFA, three studies demonstrated involvement of matrix metalloproteinases, and four showed upregulation of c-Met protein following RFA. Conclusions In our review and meta-analysis, we identify several proteins and pathways of interest of which are important in wound healing, angiogenesis, and cellular growth and survival. These proteins and pathways of interest may implicate areas of research towards RFA resistance and cancer recurrence.
