In recent years, novel findings have progressively and promisingly supported the potential role of Artificial intelligence (AI) in transforming management various neoplasms, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). HCC represents most common primary liver cancer. Alarmingly, incidence is dramatically increasing worldwide due to simultaneous “pandemic” spreading metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic disease (MASLD). MASLD currently constitutes leading cause chronic hepatic damage (steatosis steatohepatitis), fibrosis, cirrhosis, configuring a scenario where an onset has been reported even early stage. On other hand, serious plague, significantly burdening outcomes hepatitis B (HBV) C (HCV) virus-infected patients. Despite progress this cancer, overall prognosis for advanced-stage patients continues be poor, suggesting absolute need develop personalized healthcare strategies further. “cold war”, machine learning techniques neural networks are emerging as weapons, able identify patterns biomarkers that would normally escaped human observation. Using advanced algorithms, AI can analyze large volumes clinical data medical images (including routinely obtained ultrasound data) with elevated accuracy, facilitating diagnosis, improving performance predictive models, supporting multidisciplinary (oncologist, gastroenterologist, surgeon, radiologist) team opting best “tailored” individual treatment. Additionally, contribute enhancing effectiveness metabolomics–radiomics-based promoting identification specific HCC-pathogenetic molecules new targets realizing therapeutic regimens. era precision medicine, integrating into routine practice appears promising frontier, opening avenues cancer research

Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 T (UBE2T) is a crucial in the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS), playing significant role ubiquitination of proteins and influencing wide range cellular processes, including proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, invasion, metabolism. Its overexpression has been implicated various malignancies, such as lung adenocarcinoma, gastric cancer, pancreatic liver ovarian where it correlates strongly with disease progression. UBE2T facilitates tumorigenesis malignant behaviors by mediating essential functions DNA repair, cell cycle regulation, activation oncogenic signaling pathways. High levels expression are associated poor survival outcomes, highlighting its potential molecular biomarker for cancer prognosis. Increasing evidence suggests that acts an oncogene could serve promising therapeutic target treatment. This review aims to provide detailed overview UBE2T’s structure, functions, mechanisms involved progression well recent developments UBE2T-targeted inhibitors.

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most common cause of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this study, we combine metabolomic gene expression analysis to compare HCC tissues with non‐tumoural (NTT). Methods A non‐targeted strategy LC–MS was applied 52 pairs human MASLD‐HCC NTT separated into 2 groups according fibrosis severity F0F1‐F2 versus F3F4. The genes related de Novo lipogenesis (DNL) fatty acid oxidation (FAO) has been analysed by quantitative RT‐PCR and/or interrogation RNA‐seq datasets in 259 (MASLD‐HCC vs. VIRUS‐HCC). Results Metabolomic revealed that acylcarnitines were main discriminating metabolites when compared MASLD‐HCC‐F0F1‐F2 MASLD‐HCC‐F3F4 NTT. Based on these data, a panel 15 selected DNL FAO indicated there no difference between MASLD‐HCC. contrast same comparative aetiology HCC: VIRUS‐HCC showed both aetiologies shared upregulation involved DNL. However, five (HADHA, CRAT, CPT1, CPT2 PPARA) are upregulated exclusively This result indicates pathways simultaneously activated VIRUS‐HCC.
