Bioinformatics analysis of metastasis-related proteins in hepatocellular carcinoma

Diagnosis, prognosis and bioinformatics analysis of lncRNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma

This study aims to comprehensively analyze the diagnosis and prognosis of lncRNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). From the Gene Expression Omnibus database, we screened out and analyzed the differently expressed lncRNAs and related mRNAs using bioinformatics methods. The expressions of lncRNAs were validated in tumor tissues, cell lines and the Cancer Genome Atlas database. At the same time,...

Bioinformatics analysis of the proteins interacting with LASP-1 and their association with HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma

LIM and SH3 domain protein (LASP-1) is responsible for the development of several types of human cancers via the interaction with other proteins; however, the precise biological functions of proteins interacting with LASP-1 are not fully clarified. Although the role of LASP-1 in hepatocarcinogenesis has been reported, the implication of LASP-1 interactors in HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma...

Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Sheep

Hepatocellular carcinoma in a sheep

At necropsy of a five-year-old sheep, a pear shaped, lobular yellow-brownish mass measuring about 12 ×15 × 20 cm was found to involve the right hepatic lobe. Microscopic examination revealed two trabecularand solid patterns of neoplastic hepatocytes. In solid pattern, there were numerous tumoral giant cells thatcontain one or more large hyperchromatic bizarre-shaped nuclei scattered among clust...

Hepatocellular carcinoma with colonic metastasis.

Hepatocellular carcinoma with colonic metastasis is rare. It mainly occurs by direct invasion and presents with bloody stools. We describe a patient with haematogenous metastasis to the rectum who presented with tenesmus. To our knowledge, such an association has not been reported previously. Colonic metastasis should be considered when patients with hepatocellular carcinoma present with bloody...
