Abstract Background: The prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is closely related to immunity and inflammation, but the value of using immune and inflammation-related genes as predicting the prognosis of HCC requires further research.Methods: The Hepatocellular Carcinomar mRNA data was downloaded in the TCGA and ICGC database. The R package "limma" was used to analyze the differential expression of genes (DEGs) irelated to immune and inflammatory .Univariate Cox analysis screen for immune and inflammation related genes with prognostic value, then construction and verification of the prognostic model in Hepatocellular Carcinomar. The correlation between risk score with tumor immune immersion and immune cell function was assessed through tumor microensure and immune response analysis. NCI-60 cell line to explore the relationship between prognostic gene expression and drug sensitivity.Results: We evaluated 8 immune and inflammatory-related genes to build a prognostic risk prediction model, riskscore is an independent risk factor affecting prognosis, closely related to histological grading and clinical staging. The immune of adCs, macrophages, Tfh cells, Treg cells and Th1 cells higher in the tumor microenvironment leads to poor prognosis of liver cancer. Using data from the NCI-60 cell line, DNASE1L3 high expression may increased resistance of liver cancer cells to bovine platinum, solafinil and bovine platinum. The expression of SLC7A11 can increase the sensitivity of liver cancer to arsenic trioxide (ATO). Simultaneously constructing models and tumor microenvironment and drug resistance may provide effective and safe strategies for HCC chemotherapy and immunotherapy.Conclusion:Our study screened eight immune and inflammation-related genes play an important role in HCC tumor immunity and can be used to predict the prognosis of HCC.

Abstract Background: Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are most abundant in stroma and are critically involved in cancer progression. However, the specific signature of CAFs and related clinicopathological parameters in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) remain unclear. Methods: In this work, methods using recognized gene signatures were employed to roughly assess the infiltration level of the stroma and CAFs in RCC based on the data in The Cancer Genome Atlas. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was used to cluster transcriptomes and correlate with CAFs to identify specific markers. A comparison of fibroblast versus urothelial carcinoma cell lines and correlation with previously reported CAF markers were performed to demonstrate the specific expressed of the gene signature. The gene signature was used to compare fibroblast infiltration of each sample through single sample gene set enrichment analysis, and the clinical significance of fibroblasts was analyzed via Cox risk assessment and the chi-square test. Finally, we used validation data to verify the clinical significance of the fibroblast gene signature in RCC. Results: Roughly calculated tumor matrix and CAF levels were significantly higher in kidney cancer than in normal tissues. More than 85% of fibroblast-specific markers identified by WGCNA were consistent with markers obtained via single-cell sequencing. These markers were more highly expressed in fibroblast cell lines and were significantly correlated with canonical CAFs makers. Data validation also showed that CAFs were significant correlation with survival and pathological grade. Conclusions: In summary, our findings indicate that the gene signature potentially serves as a biomarker of CAFs in RCC and that infiltration of fibroblasts in RCC is an independent prognostic factor associated with pathological grade and stage of tumor. The ability to recognize specific CAF markers using WGCNA is comparable to single-cell sequencing.

Primary liver cancer is one of the leading causes for cancer-related death worldwide. Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) is a pleiotropic cytokine that signals through membrane receptors and intracellular Smad proteins, which enter the nucleus upon receptor activation and act as transcription factors. TGF-β inhibits liver tumorigenesis in the early stage by inducing cytostasis and apoptosis, but promotes malignant progression in more advanced stages by enhancing cancer cell survival, EMT, migration, invasion and finally metastasis. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underpinning the multi-faceted roles of TGF-β in liver cancer has become a persistent pursuit during the last two decades. Contextual regulation fine-tunes the robustness, duration and plasticity of TGF-β signaling, yielding versatile albeit specific responses. This involves multiple feedback and feed-forward regulatory loops and also the interplay between Smad signaling and non-Smad pathways. This review summarizes the known regulatory mechanisms of TGF-β signaling in liver cancer, and how they channel, skew and even switch the actions of TGF-β during cancer progression.

Background: MiR-183-5p plays an important role in the pathophysiology of many tumors, while the role of MiR-183-5p in liver cancer is unclear. Methods: In this study, quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting were used to detect the expression of miR-183-5p in liver cancer cell lines, liver cancer tissues, and normal tissues adjacent to the cancer, and to explore the mechanism of miR-183-5p regulating liver cancer progression. The in vitro effects of miR-183-5p were evaluated by CCK-8, colony formation test, and wound healing test. Various databases were used to predict the target mRNA of miR-183-5p and verified by luciferase report analysis. In addition, the effects of miR-183-5p and its target gene on the survival of patients with liver cancer were also analyzed. Results: miR-183-5p was highly expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma cells and tissues, and was related to some clinicopathological features. MiR-183-5p can promote the proliferation and migration of liver cancer cells. Using the bioinformatics database, we proved that miR-183-5p is related to the survival of liver cancer patients. Insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1) is a target of miR-183-5p, and luciferase analysis confirmed that miR-183-5p combines with the 3′-untranslated region (3′-UTR) of IRS1. Conclusion: The miR-183-5p/IRS1 axis may be a new target for liver cancer research.
