Abstract Background: Cerebral ischemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury is the key to fatality in cerebrovascular accident, hence further endeavor is warranted to delineate the mechanism underlying its lethal aggravation procedure. In the present study, we aimed to elucidate the anti-autophagy and anti-apoptosis effects of ginkgetin via nuclear factor κB (NF-κB)/p53 pathway in cerebral I/R rats. Methods: Rats were administrated 2-h occlusion of right middle cerebral artery before the 24-h reperfusion followed. There were three doses of ginkgetin (25, 50, 100 mg/kg) given intraperitoneally (i.p.) after the 2-h ischemia, and Pifithrin-α (PFT-α, p53 inhibitor), SN50 (NF-κB inhibitor) and 3-methyladenine (3-MA, autophagy inhibitor) was administered 20 min before the ischemia, respectively. Results: The neurological deficits decreased significantly with the administration of ginkgetin. The concentrations of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3-II and p53 were significantly decreased by PFT-α, 3-MA and ginkgetin. The concentrations of Beclin 1, damage-regulated autophagy modulator, cathepsin B and cathepsin D were significantly decreased due to the administration of PFT-α, ginkgetin and SN50. Furthermore, the concentrations of Bax and p53-upregulated modulator of apoptosis were significantly decreased with that of Bcl-2 being significantly increased by administration of SN50, PFT-α and ginkgetin. Conclusion: Ginkgetin can alleviate cerebral ischemia/reperfusion induced autophagy and apoptosis by inhibiting the NF-κB/p53 signaling pathway.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for a significant proportion of liver cancer, which has become the second most common cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. To investigate the potential mechanisms of invasion and progression of HCC, bioinformatics analysis and validation by qRT-PCR were performed. We found 237 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) including EGR1, FOS, and FOSB, which were three cancer-related transcription factors. Subsequently, we constructed TF-gene network and miRNA-TF-mRNA network based on data obtained from mRNA and miRNA expression profiles for analysis of HCC. We found that 42 key genes from the TF-gene network including EGR1, FOS, and FOSB were most enriched in the p53 signaling pathway. The qRT-PCR data confirmed that mRNA levels of EGR1, FOS, and FOSB all were decreased in HCC tissues. In addition, we confirmed that the mRNA levels of CCNB1, CCNB2, and CHEK1, three key markers of the p53 signaling pathway, were all increased in HCC tissues by bioinformatics analysis and qRT-PCR validation. Therefore, we speculated that miR-181a-5p, which was upregulated in HCC tissues, could regulate FOS and EGR1 to promote the invasion and progression of HCC by p53 signaling pathway. Overall, the study provides support for the possible mechanisms of progression in HCC.

Abstract Background: The E2F family of transcription factor 2 (E2F2) plays an important role in the development and progression of various tumors, but its association with hepatocellular carcinoma remains unknown. The aim of our study was to investigate the role and clinical significance of E2F2 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods: HCC raw data were extracted from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Wilcoxon signed-rank test, Kruskal-Wallis test and logistic regression was applied to analyze the relationship between the expression of E2F2 and clinicopathologic characteristics. Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier was employed to evaluate the correlation between clinicopathologic features and survival. The biological function of E2F2 was annotated by Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA).Results: The expression of E2F2 was increased in HCC samples. The expression of elevated E2F2 in HCC samples was prominently correlated with histologic grade (OR =2.62 for G3-4 vs. G1-2, p=1.80E-05), clinical stage (OR =1.74 for III-IV vs. I-II, p=0.03), T (OR =1.64 for T3-4 vs.T1-2, p=0.04), tumor status (OR =1.88 for with tumor vs. tumor free, p= 3.79E-03), plasma alpha fetoprotein (AFP) value (OR =3.18 for AFP≥400 vs AFP＜20, p= 2.16E-04; OR=2.50 for 20≤AFP＜400 vs AFP＜20, p=2.56E-03). Increased E2F2 had an unfavorable OS (p=7.468e−05), PFI (p=3.183e−05), DFI (p=0.001), DSS (p=4.172e−05). Elevated E2F2 was independently bound up with OS (p =0.004 , hazard ratio [HR]= 2.4 (95% CI [1.3-4.2])), DFI (P =0.029, hazard ratio [HR] = 2.0 (95% CI [1.1-3.7])) and PFI (P =0.005, hazard ratio [HR] = 2.2 (95% CI [1.3-3.9])) . GSEA disclosed that cell circle, RNA degradation, pyrimidine metabolism, base excision repair, aminoacyl tRNA biosynthesis, DNA replication, p53 signaling pathway, nucleotide excision repair, ubiquitin mediated proteolysis, citrate cycle TCA cycle were notably enriched in E2F2 high expression phenotype.Conclusions: Elevated E2F2 can be a promising independent prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for HCC. Additionally, cell cycle, pyrimidine metabolism, DNA replication, p53 signaling pathway, ubiquitin mediated proteolysis, the citrate cycle TCA cycle may be the key pathway by which E2F2 participate in the initial and progression of HCC.

AbstractRecent studies show that small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) play an important role in tumorigenesis. SNORA42 is a potential therapeutic target and prognostic biomarker for various cancers, and the aim of the present study was to investigate the function and clinical relevance of SNORA42 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We detected the expression levels of SNORA42 in HCC and normal liver tissue samples, as well as in tumor and hepatocyte-derived cell lines. SNORA42 was significantly upregulated in the HCC tissues and cells compared to the adjacent liver tissues and normal hepatocytes. Furthermore, overexpression of SNORA42 correlated with poor prognosis in the HCC patients. Knocking down SNORA42 in HCC cell lines decreased their proliferation, migration and invasion in vitro, and inhibited tumor growth and metastasis in vivo. In contrast, ectopic expression of SNORA42 promoted HCC cell proliferation and inhibited apoptosis. Mechanistically, SNORA42 exerted its oncogenic effects by targeting the p53 signaling pathway and cell cycle transition. In conclusion, SNORA42 acted as an oncogene in HCC and was a potential prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target.
