Epigenetics, an inheritable phenomenon, which influences the expression of gene without altering DNA sequence, offers a new perspective on pathogenesis hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is projected to account for significant share HCC incidence due growing prevalence various metabolic disorders. One major molecular mechanisms involved in epigenetic regulation, post-translational histone modification seems coordinate aspects NASH will further progress HCC. Mounting evidence suggests that orchestrated events cellular and nuclear changes during apoptosis can be regulated by modifications. This review focuses current advances study acetylation-/methylation-mediated implication these regulations The reversibility alterations agents target novel therapeutic approaches strategies drug development.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has the characteristics of multiple targets, slight side effects and good therapeutic effects. Good anti-tumor are shown by prescription, patent medicine, single medicine monomer compound. Clinically, TCM prolonged survival time patients improved life quality patients, due to less Cancer metastasis is a complex process involving numerous steps, genes their products. During tumor metastasis, firstly, cancer cell increases its proliferative capacity reducing autophagy apoptosis, then stimulated increasing ability tumors absorb nutrients from outside through angiogenesis. Both two steps can increase migration invasion. Finally, purpose achieved. By inhibiting apoptosis cells, angiogenesis EMT inhibit invasion cancer, consequently achieve metastasis. This review explores research achievements on breast lung hepatic carcinoma, colorectal gastric other in past five years, summarizes development direction years makes prospect for future.

Approximately 4% of cancers worldwide are caused by alcohol consumption. Drinking increases the risk several cancer types, including upper aerodigestive tract, liver, colorectum, and breast. In this review, we summarise epidemiological evidence on mechanistic alcohol-mediated carcinogenesis. There pathways which consumption alcohol, as ethanol, is known to cause cancer, though some still not fully understood. Ethanol’s metabolite acetaldehyde can DNA damage block synthesis repair, whilst both ethanol disrupt methylation. Ethanol also induce inflammation oxidative stress leading lipid peroxidation further damage. One-carbon metabolism folate levels impaired ethanol. Other mechanisms discussed. Further understanding carcinogenic properties its metabolites will inform future research, but there already a need for comprehensive control prevention strategies reduce burden attributable alcohol.

Several chronic liver diseases are characterized by a clear gender disparity. Among them, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) shows significantly higher incidence rates in men than women. The different epidemiological distribution of risk factors for disease and HCC only partially accounts these differences. In fact, the is an organ with recognized sexual dysmorphism extremely sensitive to action androgens estrogens. Sex hormones act modulating developing influencing its aggressiveness, response treatments, prognosis. Furthermore, estrogens able modulate other cofactors damage (e.g., HBV infection, obesity), their carcinogenic power. purpose this review examine related as well pathophysiological mechanisms involved, particular reference central role played sex hormones.

Adeno-associated virus (AAV) integrates into host genomes at low frequency, but when integration occurs in oncogenic hotspots it can cause hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Given the possibility of recombinant AAV (rAAV) leading to HCC, common causes liver inflammation like non-alcoholic fatty disease (NAFLD) may increase risk rAAV-induced HCC. A rAAV targeting mouse Rian locus was used, and as expected led HCC all mice infected neonates, likely due growth-related hepatocyte proliferation young mice. Mice with adults did not develop unless they were fed a diet NAFLD, increased proliferation. Female less susceptible male NAFLD treated estrogen exhibited immune exhaustion associated oncogenesis compared those without estrogen. Adult non-targeted control also developed though only half frequently exposed targeted rAAV. This study shows that adult gene therapy context chronic high thus warrants further humans given prevalence population.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver diseases (NAFLD) represent a set of disorders progressing from steatosis to steatohepatitis, fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma, which induce huge burden human health. Many pathophysiological factors are considered influence NAFLD in parallel pattern, involving insulin resistance, oxidative stress, lipotoxicity, mitochondrial dysfunction, endoplasmic reticulum inflammatory cascades, fibrogenic reaction, etc. However, the underlying mechanisms, including those that development, have not been fully understood. Specifically, mainly mediated by excessive accumulation reactive oxygen species, has participated multiple NAFLD-related signaling serving as an accelerator. Ameliorating stress maintaining redox homeostasis may be promising approach for management NAFLD. Green tea is one most important dietary resources natural antioxidants, above epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) notably contributes its antioxidative action. Accumulative evidence randomized clinical trials, systematic reviews, meta-analysis revealed beneficial functions green EGCG preventing managing NAFLD, with acceptable safety patients. Abundant animal cellular studies demonstrated protect against initiation development alleviating related metabolism inflammation, tumorigenesis. The targeted pathways include, but limited to, NRF2, AMPK, SIRT1, NF-κB, TLR4/MYD88, TGF-β/SMAD, PI3K/Akt/FoxO1, In this review, we thoroughly discuss stress-related mechanisms involved well summarize protective effects
