Tumor Progression02:07

Tumor Progression

7.9K
Tumor progression is a phenomenon where the pre-formed tumor acquires successive mutations to become clinically more aggressive and malignant. In the 1950s, Foulds first described the stepwise progression of cancer cells through successive stages.
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

Mutagenicity and Carcinogenicity01:25

Mutagenicity and Carcinogenicity

2.1K
Mutagenicity and carcinogenicity refer to the ability of drugs to cause genetic defects and induce cancer, respectively. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies agents into four groups based on their carcinogenic potential. Group 1 agents are known human carcinogens; group 2A agents are probably carcinogenic to humans; group 3 agents lack data to support their role in carcinogenesis; and group 4 includes agents for which data support that they are not likely to be...

Cancers Originate from Somatic Mutations in a Single Cell02:21

Cancers Originate from Somatic Mutations in a Single Cell

15.5K
Cancer arises from mutations in the critical genes that allow healthy cells to escape cell cycle regulation and acquire the ability to proliferate indefinitely. Though originating from a single mutation event in one of the originator cells, cancer progresses when the mutant cell lines continue to gain more and more mutations, and finally, become malignant. For example, chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) develops initially as a non-lethal increase in white blood cells, which progressively...

Liver Regeneration01:24

Liver Regeneration

5.0K
The liver is an important organ in vertebrates that plays an essential role in metabolism. It is also responsible for storing and redistributing nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, and vitamins in the body. Additionally, the liver releases bile salts which are critical for digesting food and eliminating toxic metabolites from the body.
Cells of Liver
The liver comprises four major types of cells— hepatocytes, stellate, Kupffer, and sinusoidal endothelial cells. The hepatocytes are...

Pharmacogenetics of Phase II Enzymes: N-acetyltransferase, Thiopurine S-methyltransferase, UDP-glucuronosyltransferase01:27

Pharmacogenetics of Phase II Enzymes: N-acetyltransferase, Thiopurine S-methyltransferase, UDP-glucuronosyltransferase

65
Phase II biotransformation reactions are essential for detoxifying and eliminating xenobiotics, including many pharmaceutical compounds. These reactions typically involve conjugation, the covalent attachment of polar endogenous groups such as glucuronic acid, sulfate, methyl, or acetyl moieties to functional groups introduced during Phase I metabolism. The resulting conjugates are more water-soluble, enabling efficient renal or biliary excretion.The major classes of Phase II enzymes include...

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology and oncology research.
  • Molecular pathology of liver cancer.
  • Translational research in hepatocarcinogenesis.

Background:

  • Human hepatocarcinogenesis is a multistep process involving various nodular lesions.
  • Understanding the morphophenotypical changes in these lesions is crucial for early cancer detection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the morphophenotypical changes in the sequence of liver nodular lesions.
  • To explore the translational significance of these changes in clinical practice.

Main Methods:

  • Scoring of vascular profile, ductular reaction, stromal invasion, and biomarker overexpression (GPC3, HSP70, GS, CHC, EZH2).
  • Analysis of 100 resected nodules including low-grade dysplastic nodules (LGDN), high-grade dysplastic nodules (HGDN), early hepatocellular carcinoma (eHCC), and progressed hepatocellular carcinoma (pHCC).

Main Results:

  • A scoring system effectively differentiated the four nodule groups.
  • Biomarker overexpression increased with decreased ductular reaction during carcinogenesis.
  • Early hepatocellular carcinoma (eHCC) demonstrated significant heterogeneity, with a potential preinvasive stage identified.
  • Utilizing four or five biomarkers significantly improved eHCC detection sensitivity compared to three.

Conclusions:

  • The study supports the multistep nature of human hepatocarcinogenesis.
  • Early hepatocellular carcinoma (eHCC) is more heterogeneous than previously recognized.
  • Findings offer potential for improved clinical diagnosis and management of liver cancer.
