At present, several HER inhibitors have been approved for the treatment of patients with a range of cancers but not for the treatment of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The present study investigated the co‑expression and prognostic significance of HER family members, type‑III deletion mutant EGFR (EGFRvIII), and the putative CSC biomarkers CD44 and epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) in 43 patients with HCC. The relative expression of these biomarkers was determined using immunohistochemistry. At a cut off value of >5% of tumour cells stained for these biomarkers, 35% [wild‑type (wt)EGFR], 58% (HER‑2), 0% (HER‑3), 19% (HER‑4), 26% (EGFRvIII), 40% (CD44) and 33% (EpCAM) of patients were positive. In 23, 14 and 9% of the patients, wtEGFR expression was accompanied by co‑expression with HER‑2, EGFRvIII and HER‑2/EGFRvIII, respectively. EGFRvIII expression, membranous expression of CD44 and co‑expression of wtEGFR/EGFRvIII were associated with poor overall survival (OS). By contrast, cytoplasmic CD44 expression was associated with a longer OS time. The present study also investigated the effect of several agents targeting one or more members of the HER family, other growth factor receptors and cell signalling proteins on the proliferation of HCC cell lines. Among agents targeting one or more members of the HER family, the pan‑HER family blocker afatinib was the most effective, inhibiting the proliferation of three out of seven human liver cancer cell lines (LCCLs), while the CDK inhibitor dinacicilib was the most effective agent, inhibiting the proliferation of all human LCCLs tested. Taken together, the present results suggested that EGFRvIII expression and its co‑expression with wtEGFR or CD44 was of prognostic significance. These results also support further investigations of the therapeutic potential of drugs targeting EGFRvIII and other members of the HER family in patients with HCC.</p>","PeriodicalId":19527,"journal":{"name":"Oncology reports","volume":"52 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11526438/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142505258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, flow cytometric analysis showed that GOLPH3 knockdown promoted apoptosis and G<sub>2</sub>‑phase cell cycle arrest in A549 cells. Mechanistically, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and glutathione (GSH) levels were measured using assay kits, and it was demonstrated that GOLPH3 knockdown decreased intracellular GSH levels, and further attenuated intracellular cisplatin efflux and GSH/ROS imbalance. In addition, tumor‑sphere formation assays verified that GOLPH3 knockdown mitigated the stem cell‑like phenotype of NSCLC cells.

Upregulation of COL10A1 expression has been observed in different malignancies, including lung, gastric and pancreatic cancer, and is associated with poor prognosis. The present review provides an updated synthesis of the evolving biological understanding of COL10A1, with a particular focus on its mechanisms of action and regulatory functions within the context of tumorigenesis. For example, it has been established that increased COL10A1 expression promotes cancer progression by activating multiple signaling pathways, including the TGF‑β1/Smad, MEK/ERK and focal adhesion kinase signaling pathways, thereby inducing proliferation, invasion and migration. Additionally, COL10A1 has been demonstrated to induce epithelial‑mesenchymal transition and reshapes the extracellular matrix within tumor tissues. Furthermore, on the basis of methyltransferase‑like 3‑mediated N6‑methyladenosine methylation, COL10A1 intricately regulates the epitranscriptomic machinery, thereby augmenting its oncogenic role. However, although COL10A1 serves a pivotal role in gene transcription and the orchestration of tumor growth, the question of whether COL10A1 would serve as a viable therapeutic target remains a subject of scientific hypothesis requiring rigorous examination. Variables such as distinct tumor microenvironments and treatment associations necessitate further experimental validation.
