Alternative splicing of lncRNAs from SNHG family alters snoRNA expression and induces chemoresistance in hepatoblastoma
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings revealed the role of intron retention in regulating snoRNA expression in hepatoblastoma, explained detailed regulatory mechanism between PABPN1 and the intron retention of SNHG RNAs, and provided insight into the development of new HB treatment options.PMID:37478905 | DOI:10.1016/j.jcmgh.2023.07.007 (Source: Molecular Medicine)

MRI-based deep learning model for differentiation of hepatic hemangioma and hepatoblastoma in early infancy
Conclusion:  The MRI-based integrated model, a noninvasive preoperative diagnostic tool, yielded favorable efficacy for differentiating HH and HBL in early infancy, which might reduce the patients ’ costs of repetitive and unnecessary examinations or over-treatment.Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05170282.What is Known:• Hepatic hemangioma (HH) and hepatoblastoma (HBL) are common pediatric liver tumors and present with similar clinical manifestations with limited distinguishing value of serum AFP in early infancy.• Considering the rare incidence of infantile hepatic tumors, the distinguishing...

Protocol to dissociate and isolate wide-diversity single cells by density gradient centrifugation from human hepatoblastoma tissue
We describe steps for tissue processing, enzymatic digestion, Percoll density gradient separation, cell lysis, cell suspension quality control, and scRNA library construction. We then detail sequencing and data analysis. This protocol is applicable to preparing single-cell suspensions from other human liver tissue samples.PMID:37459235 | DOI:10.1016/j.xpro.2023.102449 (Source: Cancer Control)

Anabolic ‐androgenic anabolic steroids as a probable risk factor for hepatoblastoma in infants
Key Clinical MessageThe etiology of hepatoblastoma (HB) is still unknown; several risk factors have been identified. The only risk factor for the development of HB in presented case was the child's father using anabolic androgenic steroids. It may be a risk factor for developing HB in their children.AbstractHB is the most common primary liver cancer in children. Its etiology is still unclear. The patient's father's use of androgenic anabolic steroids could be a risk factor for developing HB in his child. A 14-month-old girl was hospitalized with intermittent fever, severe abdominal distention, and anorexia. On initial exam...

Mechanism of preventive effects of exendin-4 and des-fluoro-sitagliptin in a murine model of fructose-induced prediabetes
Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Cell Biol Lipids. 2023 Jul 8:159363. doi: 10.1016/j.bbalip.2023.159363. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTProtective effects of exendin-4 (glucagon-like peptide-1 -GLP-1- receptor agonist) and des-fluoro-sitagliptin (dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor) on fructose-induced hepatic disturbances were evaluated in prediabetic rats. Complementary, a possible direct effect of exendin-4 in human hepatoblastoma-derived cell line HepG2 incubated with fructose in presence/absence of exendin-9-39 (GLP-1 receptor antagonist) was investigated. In vivo, after 21 days of fructose rich diet, we determined: glycemia, ins...
