    Abstract Gastrointestinal cancer is highly associated with inflammatory processes inducing the release of cytokines from cancer or immune cells, including interferons, interleukins, chemokines, colony-stimulating factors, and growth factors, which promote or suppress tumor progression. Inflammatory cytokines within the tumor microenvironment promote immune cell infiltration. Infiltrating immune, and tumor-surrounding stromal cells support tumor growth, angiogenesis, metastasis, and immunosuppression through communication with inflammatory cytokines and cell adhesion molecules. Notably, infiltrating immune and tumor cells present immunosuppressive molecules, such as programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) and CD80/CD86. Suppression of cytotoxic T cells promotes tumor avoidance of immune surveillance and greater malignancy. Moreover, glycosylation and sialylation of proteins hyperexpressed on the cancer cell surface have been shown to enhance immune escape and metastasis. Cytokine treatments and immune checkpoint inhibitors are widely used in clinical practice. However, the tumor microenvironment is a rapidly changing milieu involving several factors. In this review, we have provided a summary of the interactions of inflammation and cell adhesion molecules between cancer and other cell types, to improve understanding of the tumor microenvironment.

    Abstract Recent reports have shown the important role of the non-coding part of human genome RNA (ncRNA) in cancer formation and progression. Among several kinds of ncRNAs, microRNAs (miRNA) play a pivotal role in cancer biology. Accumulating researches have been focused on the importance of non-coding genes in various diseases. In addition to miRNAs, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have also been extensively documented. Recently, the study of human liver cancer has gradually shifted to these non-coding RNAs that were originally considered “junk”. Notably, dysregulated ncRNAs maybe influence on cell proliferation, angiogenesis, anti-apoptosis, and metastasis. Thyroid hormones play critical roles in human development and abnormalities in thyroid hormone levels are associated with various diseases, such as liver cancer. Thyroid hormone receptors (TR) act as ligand-activated nuclear transcription factors to affect multiple functions through the gene-level regulation in the cells and several studies have revealed that thyroid hormone associated with ncRNAs expression. TR actions are complex and tissue- and time-specific, aberrant expression of the various TR isoforms have different effects and are associated with different types of tumor or stages of development. In this review, we discuss various aspects of the research on the thyroid hormones modulated ncRNAs to affect the functions of human liver cells.

    Abstract Oxidative stress occurs as a result of imbalance between the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidant genes in cells, causing damage to lipids, proteins, and DNA. Accumulating damage of cellular components can trigger various diseases, including metabolic syndrome and cancer. Over the past few years, the physiological significance of microRNAs (miRNA) in cancer has been a focus of comprehensive research. In view of the extensive level of miRNA interference in biological processes, the roles of miRNAs in oxidative stress and their relevance in physiological processes have recently become a subject of interest. In-depth research is underway to specifically address the direct or indirect relationships of oxidative stress-induced miRNAs in liver cancer and the potential involvement of the thyroid hormone in these processes. While studies on thyroid hormone in liver cancer are abundantly documented, no conclusive information on the potential relationships among thyroid hormone, specific miRNAs, and oxidative stress in liver cancer is available. In this review, we discuss the effects of thyroid hormone on oxidative stress-related miRNAs that potentially have a positive or negative impact on liver cancer. Additionally, supporting evidence from clinical and animal experiments is provided.

    Abstract Pseudogenes are generally considered "junk" DNA or "genomic fossils" generated during the evolution process that lack biological activity. However, accumulating reports indicate that pseudogenes have biological functions critical for cancer development. Experiments from the current study showed marked overexpression of the cytidine monophospho-N-acetylneuraminic acid hydroxylase pseudogene (CMAHP) in gastric cancer, which was associated with poor overall survival. However, the mechanisms underlying the activity of CMAHP in tumor development are largely unknown. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) revealed that CMAHP-correlated genes are significantly involved in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and angiogenesis. Functional studies further confirmed that CMAHP mediates metastasis and angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, CMAHP promoted cancer cell migration, invasion, and metastasis through Snail overexpression, which decreased ubiquitination mediated by NF-κB signaling. Angiogenesis is known to be induced by granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) stimulation. CMAHP increased GM-CSF transactivation via promoting direct binding of c-Jun to the -1981/-1975 region of the GM-CSF promoter. Notably, CMAHP interacts with Histone H1.4 promoting histone acetylation to enhance c-Jun and RelA (p65) expression. Our collective findings provide novel evidence that CMAHP contributes to tumor progression and modulates metastasis and angiogenesis in gastric cancer.

    Abstract C-reactive protein (CRP) is a widely used systemic biomarker for diagnosing acute and chronic inflammation. During the past decade, serum CRP has been re-emphasized by extending its clinical use to the prediction or diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases and other conditions, particularly malignancies. Serum CRP has also been found to be elevated in patients with many malignancies, implying a close linkage between inflammation and malignancy. Prospective studies have shown a higher risk of developing cancer in those with elevated serum CRP. CRP is produced by hepatocytes in response to inflammatory cytokines, particularly, interleukin-6 from the tumor microenvironment. Preoperative CRP levels are parallel to the progression or pathological stages of malignancies, including gastric cancer in patients in our series. Elevated CRP is a determinant predictor of lower survival rates in patients with several cancers, including esophageal, colorectal, hepatocellular, pancreatic, urinary bladder, renal,ovarian and cervical cancer, after surgical resection. The measurement of serum CRP is simple, cheap, and available in daily practice. It can serve as an additional prognostic predictor for survival and post-treatment monitoring in cancer patients. In the future, CRP-lowering agents might offer a promising benefit in the prevention and therapy of many different types of cancer.
