Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) are the most common primary liver cancers. Little is known about the combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-ICC) variant and the proper therapeutic strategies. Out of over 1200 available studies about cHCC-ICC, we selected the most representative ones that reflected updated information with application to individualized therapy. Based on literature data and own experience, we hypothesize that two molecular groups of cHCC-ICC can be identified. The proposed division might have a significant therapeutic role. Most cases develop, like HCC, on a background of cirrhosis and hepatitis and share characteristics with HCC; thus, they are named HCC-type cHCC-ICC and therapeutic strategies might be like those for HCC. This review also highlights a new carcinogenic perspective and identifies, based on literature data and the own experience, a second variant of cHCC-ICC called ICC-type cHCC-ICC. Contrary to HCC, these cases show a tendency for lymph node metastases and ICC components in the metastatic tissues. No guidelines have been established yet for such cases. Individualized therapy should be, however, oriented toward the immunoprofile of the primary tumor and metastatic cells, and different therapeutic strategies should be used in patients with HCC- versus ICC-type cHCC-ICC.

Abstract
Introduction: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) is a heterogeneous entity with diverse etiologies, morphologies, and clinical outcomes, but our knowledge of its epidemiology and carcinogenesis is very limited. Materials and methods: The expression patterns of circRNAs were explored in iCCA tissues and corresponding adjacent normal ones, denoted by (iCCA) and (iCCAP), respectively, using high-throughput sequencing. Results: A total of 117 differential expressed (DE) circRNAs were identified. Based on the parental transcripts of circRNAs, these DE circRNAs were related to several important GO terms and were enriched in important pathways. Two circRNA-mediated ceRNA networks were constructed and many important metabolic pathways related to mRNAs were regulated by DE circRNAs via miRNAs. Conclusion: Our study revealed the DE circRNAs in the iCCA tissues compared with iCCAP ones, suggesting that circRNAs may play crucial roles in the pathogenesis of iCCA.

Abstract
Xenobiotic exposure dysregulates hundreds of protein-coding genes in mammalian liver, impacting many physiological processes and inducing diverse toxicological responses. Little is known about xenobiotic effects on long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), many of which have important regulatory functions. Here, we present a computational framework to discover liver-expressed, xenobiotic-responsive lncRNAs (xeno-lncs) with strong functional, gene regulatory potential and elucidate the impact of xenobiotic exposure on their gene regulatory networks. We assembled the long noncoding transcriptome of xenobiotic-exposed rat liver using RNA-seq datasets from male rats treated with 27 individual chemicals, representing 7 mechanisms of action (MOAs). Ortholog analysis was combined with coexpression data and causal inference methods to infer lncRNA function and deduce gene regulatory networks, including causal effects of lncRNAs on protein-coding gene expression and biological pathways. We discovered > 1400 liver-expressed xeno-lncs, many with human and/or mouse orthologs. Xenobiotics representing different MOAs often regulated common xeno-lnc targets: 123 xeno-lncs were dysregulated by ≥ 10 chemicals, and 5 xeno-lncs responded to ≥ 20 of the 27 chemicals investigated; 81 other xeno-lncs served as MOA-selective markers of xenobiotic exposure. Xeno-lnc-protein-coding gene coexpression regulatory network analysis identified xeno-lncs closely associated with exposure-induced perturbations of hepatic fatty acid metabolism, cell division, or immune response pathways, and with apoptosis or cirrhosis. We also identified hub and bottleneck lncRNAs, which are expected to be key regulators of gene expression. This work elucidates extensive networks of xeno-lnc-protein-coding gene interactions and provides a framework for understanding the widespread transcriptome-altering actions of foreign chemicals in a key-responsive mammalian tissue.

Abstract
S100A11 is reported to associate with progression and poor prognosis in several tumors. We previously reported that S100A11 was highly expressed in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) cells and promoted TGF-β1-induced EMT through SMAD2/3 signaling pathway. Here, we explored the prognostic role of S100A11 on ICC patients and preliminary molecular mechanisms how S100A11 regulated ICC cell proliferation. Our results showed that S100A11 was obviously increased in ICC tumor tissues. High expression of S100A11 was closely correlated with lymph node metastasis (LNM) and TNM stage and was an independent risk factor for patients' overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS). The nomograms comprising LNM and S100A11 achieved better predictive accuracy compared with TNM staging system for OS and RFS prediction. Silencing S100A11 significantly suppressed RBE cells and HCCC9810 cells proliferation, colony formation, and activation of P38/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway in vitro and inhibited tumor growth in vivo. In contrast, the overexpression of S100A11 in RBE cells and HCCC9810 cells achieved the opposite results. S100A11-induced proliferation was abolished after treatment with P38 inhibitor. Our findings suggest S100A11/P38/MAPK signaling pathway may be a potential therapeutic target for ICC patients.

Abstract
We present a case of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the placenta of healthy baboon (Papio spp.). Grossly, the fetal, maternal, and placental tissues were unremarkable. Histologically, the placenta contained an unencapsulated, poorly demarcated, infiltrative, solidly cellular neoplasm composed of cells that resembled hepatocytes. The neoplastic cells were diffusely positive for vimentin and focally positive for Ae1/Ae3, Arginase -1, glutamine synthetase, and CD10, and negative for ER, vascular markers (CD31 and D240), S100, glypican, C-reactive protein, FABP, desmin, and beta-catenin; INI1 positivity was similar to non-neoplastic tissues. The case likely represents a unique subtype of HCC.

Abstract
Rab-like protein 1 A (RBEL1A), which is a predominant isoform of RBEL1, has been identified to serve an important function in breast tumorigenesis and may be upregulated in breast tumor cells. RBEL1A may block the transcriptional activity of p53, which is important in the induction of cisplatin sensitivity. Previous studies supported the association between the induction of chemoresistance and the inhibition of p53 by RBEL1A. However, the response of RBEL1A to chemotreatment and its interaction with p53 remains to be investigated. The present study revealed that the cisplatin treatment induced the expression of RBEL1A in MCF-7 cells. Consistent with previous studies, the present study demonstrated that cisplatin treatment and RBEL1A overexpression blocked the oligomerization of p53 in MCF-7 cells and led to a decrease of the transcriptional activity of p53 and its downstream target gene p21. Additionally, upregulation of RBEL1A decreased the protein level of p53 by promoting the ubiquitination of p53. A cytotoxicity assay demonstrated that upregulation of RBEL1A partially contributed to chemosensitivity via inhibiting p53 in MCF-7 cells. A pG13L (p53-responsive reporter plasmid) luciferase reporter and co-immunoprecipitation assay revealed that upregulation of RBEL1A led to an inhibition of the transcriptional activity of p53 or its target gene p21. Analysis of cellular proliferation, cell cycle and invasion also confirmed the regulatory activity of RBEL1A on the malignancy of breast cancer cells. Taken together, these results suggest that the induction of RBEL1A following cisplatin treatment may partially inhibit chemosensitivity in a p53-dependent manner.

Abstract
The S100 proteins, a family of calcium-binding cytosolic proteins, have a broad range of intracellular and extracellular functions through regulating calcium balance, cell apoptosis, migration, proliferation, differentiation, energy metabolism, and inflammation. The intracellular functions of S100 proteins involve interaction with intracellular receptors, membrane protein recruitment/transportation, transcriptional regulation and integrating with enzymes or nucleic acids, and DNA repair. The S100 proteins could also be released from the cytoplasm, induced by tissue/cell damage and cellular stress. The extracellular S100 proteins, serving as a danger signal, are crucial in regulating immune homeostasis, post-traumatic injury, and inflammation. Extracellular S100 proteins are also considered biomarkers for some specific diseases. In this review, we will discuss the multi-functional roles of S100 proteins, especially their potential roles associated with cell migration, differentiation, tissue repair, and inflammation.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is the fifth most common malignant neoplasia and the third leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Mac-Cormick et al. recently showed the importance of considering the anatomical region of the tumor in proteomic gastric cancer studies; more differences were found between distinct anatomical regions than when comparing healthy versus diseased tissue. Thus, failing to consider the anatomical region could lead to differential proteins that are not disease specific. With this as motivation, we compared the proteomic profiles of intestinal and diffuse adenocarcinoma from the same anatomical region, the corpus. To achieve this, we used isobaric labeling (iTRAQ) of peptides, a 10-step HILIC fractionation, and reversed-phase nano-chromatography coupled online with a Q-Exactive Plus mass spectrometer. We updated PatternLab to take advantage of the new Comet-PEFF search engine that enables identifying post-translational modifications and mutations included in neXtProt's PSI Extended FASTA Format (PEFF) metadata. Our pipeline then uses a text-mining tool that automatically extracts PubMed IDs from the proteomic result metadata and drills down keywords from manuscripts related with the biological processes at hand. Our results disclose important proteins such as apolipoprotein B-100, S100 and 14-3-3 proteins, among many others, highlighting the different pathways enriched by each cancer type. SIGNIFICANCE Gastric cancer is a heterogeneous and multifactorial disease responsible for a significant number of deaths every year. Despite the constant improvement of surgical techniques and multimodal treatments, survival rates are low, mostly due to limited diagnostic techniques and late symptoms. Intestinal and diffuse types of gastric cancer have distinct clinical and pathological characteristics; yet little is known about the molecular mechanisms regulating these two types of gastric tumors. Here we compared the proteomic profile of diffuse and intestinal types of gastric cancer from the same anatomical location, the corpus, from four male patients. This methodological design aimed to eliminate proteomic variations resulting from comparison of tumors from distinct anatomical regions. Our PEFF-tailored proteomic pipeline significantly increased the identifications as when compared to previous versions of PatternLab.

Abstract
S100 exists in wide variety of tissues and cell types, originally isolated from brain tissue and they are of low molecular weight proteins. S100 is evenly distributed in cytoplasm and also in nucleoplasm and is involved in both intercellular and extracellular functions. S100 protein is generally expressed in normal and also in pathological conditions. In current review, we discuss: a) update nomenclature of the various S100 proteins, b) expression of S100 in oral diseases (different soft tissue tumors, odontogenic cyst and tumor) for diagnostic value and also to know their histogenesis, c) role of S100 and RAGE receptor in oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Lui K, Sheikh MS, Huang Y. Regulation of p53 oligomerization by Ras superfamily protein RBEL1A. Genes Cancer 2015; 6:307-16.

Abstract
Our previous studies showed that RBEL1A overexpressed in multiple human malignancies and its depletion by RNAi caused severe growth inhibition in tumor cells. We also showed that RBEL1A directly interacted with p53 and such interactions occurred at the oligomeric domain of p53. However, the effect of such interactions on p53 oligomerization and function remained to be investigated. Here, we report that the interaction of RBEL1A and p53 suppressed p53 oligomer formation in unstressed cells and in cells exposed to DNA damage. Furthermore, purified RBEL1A blocked the oligomerization of recombinant p53 corresponding to residues 315-360 in vitro. RBEL1A also significantly reduced the oligomerization of the exogenously expressed C-terminal region (residues 301-393) of p53 in cells. Overexpression of RBEL1A (as seen in human tumors), also suppressed oligomerization by endogenous p53. Our results also showed that GTPase domain of RBEL1A at residues 1-235 was sufficient to block p53 oligomerization. Furthermore, silencing of endogenous RBEL1A significantly enhanced the formation of p53 oligomeric complex following ultraviolet radiation-mediated DNA damage and RBEL1A knockdown also enhanced expression of p53 target genes. Taken together, our studies provide important new molecular insights into the regulation of p53 and the oncogenic role of RBEL1A in the context to human malignancy.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a genetically heterogeneous disease with distinct morphological patterns. It has been shown that polypoid and ulcerative CRC displays different genetic alterations. In the present study, we aimed to investigate genes with differential expression patterns between ulcerative and polypoid CRC. cDNA microarray analysis was performed to compare the gene expression profiles in samples of ulcerative and polypoid CRC with paired normal mucosa samples. Potential candidate genes were further validated using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry. The epigenetic regulation of gene expression was investigated using methylation-specific PCR (MSP). cDNA microarray analysis identified 11 upregulated and 14 downregulated genes which were differentially expressed in samples from both tumor types compared to the matched normal mucosa samples. Among these, S100P was the only upregulated gene preferentially associated with polypoid CRC (P=0.032). The samples of polypoid CRC displayed significantly higher S100P protein and mRNA expression levels than the samples of ulcerative CRC (P<0.05, respectively). Using semi-quantitative immunohistochemical analyses, S100P overexpression was found to be preferentially associated with polypoid CRC (24/30 vs. 14/40, P<0.001). The relative methylation level determined by MSP did not differ significantly between the samples of polypoid and ulcerative CRC (43.36 vs. 49.10%, P=0.168), indicating that promoter hypomethylation was not directly related to the upregulation of S100P mRNA. Our results demonstrate that the upregulation of S100P mRNA and protein expression is a predominant characteristic in polypoid CRC, whereas ulcerative CRC presents with a wide range of expression levels, indicating that S100P overexpression is not a key determinant in conferring invasion properties. The clinicopathological significance of S100P in CRC requires further investigation in well-controlled studies.

S100 expression in dendritic cells is inversely correlated with tumor grade in endometrial carcinoma. Obstet Gynecol Sci 2014; 57:201-7. [PMID: 24883291 PMCID: PMC4038686 DOI: 10.5468/ogs.2014.57.3.201] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2013] [Revised: 10/18/2013] [Accepted: 11/25/2013] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to determine the expression of S100 positive dendritic cells (DCs) and the relationship with clinicopathologic factors in endometrial carcinoma. Methods Samples were collected from 89 patients with endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma treated in Pusan National University Hospital from 2004 to 2011. Normal endometrial tissues were obtained from 30 hysterectomized women with benign adnexal masses and served as controls. Paraffin-embedded sections were immunohistochemically stained for S100 was performed, and the number of positive DCs was counted. The relationship of these cells to the stage, histological grade, myometrial invasion, and lymph node metastasis was analyzed. Results The proportion of S100-positive DCs in the endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma was 31.5% (28/89), which was significantly higher (P<0.05) than in the control group. The proportion of S100-positive DC expression was negatively correlated with the histologic grade, but was not associated with the stage, myometrial invasion, or lymph node metastasis. Conclusion High DC density was inversely correlated with histologic grade in endometrial carcinoma. Tumor-infiltrating S100+ DCs may be used as pathologic marker in endometrial carcinoma.

Abstract
Background Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world and is the first cause of death due to cancer among women. Mammography is the best screening method and mammographic density, which determines the percentage of fibro glandular tissue of breast, is one of the strongest risk factors of breast cancer. Because benign and malignant lesions may present as dense lesions in mammography so it is necessary to take a core biopsy of any suspicious lesions to evaluate pathologic findings. Objectives The aim of this study was to assess the association between mammographic density and histopathological findings in Iranian population. Moreover, we assessed the correlation between mammographic density and protein expression profile. We indeed, determined the accuracy and positive predictive value and negative predictive value of mammographic reports in our center. Patients and Method This study is a cross-sectional study carried out among 131 eligible women who had referred to imaging center for mammographic examination and had been advised to take biopsy of breast tissue. All participants of the study had filled out the informed consent. Pathologic review was performed blinded to the density status. Patients were divided into low density breast tissue group (ACR density group 1-2) and high density breast tissue group (ACR 3, 4) and data was compared between these two groups. Statistical analysis performed using SPSS for windows, version 11.5. We used chi-square, t-test, and logistic regression test for analysis and Odds Ratio calculated where indicated. Results In patients with high breast densities, malignant cases (61.2%) were significantly more in comparison to patients with low breast densities (37.3%) (P= 0.007, OR=2.66 95% CI=1.29-5.49). After adjusting for age, density was associated with malignancy in age groups <46 years (P=0.007), and 46-60 years (P=0.024) but not in age group >60yrs (P=0.559). Adjusting for menopausal status, density showed association with malignancy in both pre-menopause (P=0.041) and menopause (P=0.010) patients. Using logistic regression test, only age and density showed independent association with risk of breast cancer. No association was found between density and protein profile expression. Mammographic method has a false negative percent of 10.3% for negative BI-RADS group and a Positive Predictive Value (PPV) of 69.6% for positive BI-RADS group. PPVs for BI-RADS 4a, 4b, 4c and 5 were 16%, 87.5%, 84.6%, and 91.5% respectively. NPVs for BI-RADS 1, 2 and 3 were 66.7%, 95.8% and 90.0% respectively. Conclusions In this study we found that increasing in mammographic density is associated with an increase in malignant pathology reports. Expression of ER, PR and HER-2 receptors didn't show association with density. Our mammographic reports had a sensitivity of 94.1% and a specificity of 55.6%, which shows that our mammography is an acceptable method for screening breast cancer in this center.
