Article Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the expression of SVEP1 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and to evaluate the association among SVEP1, cancer stem cell-like phenotype, and the prognosis of patients to provide new possibilities for the accurate diagnosis and stratification of HCC. Two hundred HCC and paired adjacent tissues were analyzed by immunohistochemistry and scored, and their relationships with clinicopathological parameters and survival rates were analyzed. We found that compared with adjacent tissues, the expression of SVEP1 in HCC was relatively low and was closely related to tumor size, satellite nodule formation, and histological grade (p<0.05). Statistical analysis showed that the survival rate of patients with low expression of SVEP1 decreased significantly (p<0.05). Our results showed that the expression of SVEP1 was negatively correlated with the expression of the cancer stem cell markers CD44 and CD133 (p<0.05). Moreover, multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that SVEP1 was an independent prognostic factor for the survival of HCC patients. In conclusion, our results suggest that decreased SVEP1 expression may promote HCC acquisition of a cancer stem cell-like phenotype, ultimately leading to heterogeneity and poor prognosis of HCC. This work may provide new insight into the development of HCC and suggests a potential marker for predicting the prognosis of patients.

Aims: To investigate the shared genetic mechanisms between type 2 diabetes (T2D) and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). Using large-scale genome-wide association study (GWAS) data, we performed single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) level analysis to detect pleiotropic variants and loci, paired eQTL mapping analysis and gene-level analysis to identify candidate pleiotropic genes. In addition, Mendelian randomisation (MR) analysis was performed to assess causal associations.

Aim: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and heart failure (HF) are closely intertwined comorbidities that present significant clinical challenges due to the poorly understood pathophysiological mechanisms driving their coexistence. In this study, we systematically identified molecular signatures associated with COPD-HF comorbidity through an integrative bioinformatics analysis of multi-omics datasets. Our findings yielded novel diagnostic biomarkers and elucidated the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms.

Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are liver-specific mesenchymal cells that play a crucial role in liver formation and regeneration, as well as in different pathological diseases. However, the limited source of primary HSCs (pHSCs) and the suboptimal functionality of induced HSCs (iHSCs) by existing methods restrict their application in biomedical modeling. We developed a de novo differentiation method to generate iHSCs under simulated liver microenvironment in vitro, thereby enhancing the function of the differentiated cells.

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is known for its stepwise progression from healthy skin to premalignant actinic keratosis (AK), followed by a malignant transformation to SCC. Unfortunately, less attention has been paid to changes in gene expression in the tumour microenvironment during this process. We retrospectively selected early-stage cutaneous SCC tissue samples containing both invasive and premalignant portions and conducted a spatial transcriptomic experiment using a NanoString GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiler (DSP).

Idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD) is an inflammatory disease associated with a cytokine storm, activation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, coagulopathy, and increased risk of thrombosis. The mechanisms underlying these pathologic processes remain elusive. We studied novel markers of mTOR activation and thrombosis in 1 patient with typical features of iMCD with TAFRO (thrombocytopenia, anasarca, fevers, reticulin myelofibrosis, and organomegaly) syndrome (iMCD-TAFRO).
