Serum MDK levels in all three groups were detected by ELISA. Correlation analysis was conducted to evaluate the relationship between serum MDK and liver function indexes and other traditional tumor markers in the HCC group. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to analyze the diagnostic utility of MDK in HCC and AFP-negative HCC. In addition, univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to determine the correlation between MDK level and tumor metastasis, and clinicopathological features.ResultsMDK is significantly elevated in negative HCC (<i>P</i> = 0.001). The serum expression level of MDK in patients with HCC was found to be positively correlated with various indicators of liver injury (<i>P</i> < 0.05). Notably, elevated MDK expression was significantly associated with the China liver cancer staging system (CNLC) stage (<i>P</i> = 0.003) and complications (<i>P</i> = 0.000). Furthermore, the CNLC stage significantly impacted patient survival and metastasis (<i>P</i> = 0.016). Specifically, we propose that high levels of MDK expression are closely linked to poor tumor prognosis.ConclusionThe risk of tumor metastasis and the likelihood of poor prognosis in patients with HCC are significantly elevated in those exhibiting high levels of MDK.

Differentially expressed transcription factors (DETFs) were identified through the application of Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis. A set of in vitro and in vivo experiments were conducted to investigate the role of MEOX1 in MASH-related fibrosis. To delineate the potential mechanisms, the transcriptomic RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), Alphafold, and PyMOL were used.ResultsA total of six DETFs (MEOX1, SOX4, LEF1, SOX9, MYC, and CBX2) were identified as being positively correlated with the progression of MASH-related fibrosis. MEOX1 was increased in mouse model of MASH diet-induced liver fibrosis and hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) stimulated by transforming growth factor-β1. Knockdown of the MEOX1 markedly suppressed the activation, proliferation, and migration of HSCs.

This study aimed to evaluate COL IV and other cancer-related and stroma-derived proteins as biomarkers for mCRC.Materials & methodsPlasma COL IV and 10 other proteins were analyzed with ELISA and Luminex multiplex assays.ResultsmCRC patients have elevated levels of circulating COL IV, CEA, interleukin-8 (IL-8), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), cytokeratin-19 fragments (CYFRA 21-1), osteopontin (OPN), and migration inhibitory factor (MIF) compared to primary CRC (pCRC) patients.

Levels of COL IV, CEA, OPN, CYFRA 21-1, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) were dependent on the metastatic site. OPN, CEA, and HGF are very good at discriminating between mCRC patients and pCRC controls. COL IV is very good at distinguishing between mCRC patients and healthy controls. The combination of OPN + CEA is superior at detecting mCRC than CEA alone. High HGF and COL IV levels correlate to poor prognosis.ConclusionOPN, CEA, and HGF are potential biomarkers for mCRC. COL IV is a potential biomarker for CLM. The combination of OPN with CEA is superior to CEA alone in detecting mCRC.

However, the relationship between Kin17 expression, clinicopathologic features, and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) prognosis remains unclear.MethodsThe analysis of Kin17 messenger RNA (mRNA) expression involved the utilization of data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset through the platforms the University of ALabama at Birmingham CANcer data analysis portal (UALCAN) and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). To determine the expression levels of Kin17 in tissues, immunohistochemistry was conducted. Using Pearson's chi-square test, the relationship between Kin17 expression and clinicopathological variables was evaluated. Cox proportional hazard models (both univariate and multivariate), receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, and Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to analyze survival.ResultsIn both the TCGA and GEO datasets, the mRNA level of Kin17 was greater in tumor tissues when compared to tumor-adjacent tissues (<i>P</i> < 0.001). Similarly, there was a significant expression of Kin17 (<i>P</i> < 0.0001) in ESCC tissues. Elevated Kin17 expression correlated significantly with increased Ki-67 levels (<i>P</i> < 0.001), advanced pathological tumor node metastasis stage (<i>P</i> = 0.01), and positive lymph node metastasis (<i>P</i> = 0.02). According to univariate and multivariate Cox models, high Kin17 expression was associated with poorer progression-free survival (PFS) (hazard ratio (HR): 1.990, 95% confidence interval (CI): (1.040-3.810)), and Kin17 was an independent prognostic variable for overall survival (OS) (HR: 2.321, 95% CI: (1.056-5.101)).
