Open AccessThe status of Fas and Fas ligand expression can predict recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma
The status of Fas and Fas ligand (Fas L) expression was investigated in this study for 103 hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC). We studied the expression of the following three factors, Fas and Fas L expression in...

Open AccessTreatment of hepatocellular carcinoma with major portal vein thrombosis by combined therapy with subcutaneous interferon-α and intra-arterial 5-fluorouracil; role of type 1 interferon receptor expression
We previously reported the beneficial effects of combination therapy of interferon (IFN)-α/5-fluorouracil (FU) for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with tumour thrombi in the major portal branches. This re...

Open AccessInsulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 alters the sensitivity to interferon-based anticancer therapy in hepatocellular carcinoma cells
A striking efficiency of interferon (IFN)-based anticancer therapy for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been reported. Because its clinical efficiency greatly depends on each patient's local respons...

Open AccessMicroRNA-21 induces resistance to the anti-tumour effect of interferon-α/5-fluorouracil in hepatocellular carcinoma cells
We reported recently the clinical efficiency of interferon (IFN)-α/5-fluorouracil (5-FU) combination therapy in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, prediction of the response to the combination ther...

Open AccessPaired related homoeobox 1, a new EMT inducer, is involved in metastasis and poor prognosis in colorectal cancer
Paired related homoeobox 1 (PRRX1) has been identified as a new epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) inducer in breast cancer. However, the function of PRRX1 in colorectal cancer (CRC) has not been elucidated.

Open AccessmiR-320c regulates gemcitabine-resistance in pancreatic cancer via SMARCC1
Gemcitabine-based chemotherapy is the standard treatment for pancreatic cancer. However, the issue of resistance remains unresolved. The aim of this study was to identify microRNAs (miRNAs) that govern the res...

Open AccessPICT1 regulates TP53 via RPL11 and is involved in gastric cancer progression
The TP53 pathway is frequently inactivated in human cancers. PICT1 (also known as GLTSCR2) is a novel regulator of the MDM2-TP53 pathway via its interaction with the ribosomal protein RPL11 in the nucleolus. H...

Open AccessAmplification of PVT-1 is involved in poor prognosis via apoptosis inhibition in colorectal cancers
We previously conducted gene expression microarray analyses to identify novel indicators for colorectal cancer (CRC) metastasis and prognosis from which we identified PVT-1 as a candidate gene. PVT-1, which encod...

Open AccessMicroRNA-1246 expression associated with CCNG2-mediated chemoresistance and stemness in pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic cancer has a poor prognosis because of its high refractoriness to chemotherapy and tumour recurrence, and these properties have been attributed to cancer stem cells (CSCs). MicroRNA (miRNA) regulate...

Open AccessIdentification of a bona fide microRNA biomarker in serum exosomes that predicts hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence after liver transplantation
Predictive biomarkers for the recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have great benefit in the selection of treatment options, including liver transplantation (LT), for HCC. The purpose of this study was...

Article
Open AccessExosomal microRNA in serum is a novel biomarker of recurrence in human colorectal cancer
Functional microRNAs (miRNAs) in exosomes have been recognised as potential stable biomarkers in cancers. The aim of this study is to identify specific miRNAs in exosome as serum biomarkers for the early detec...
