Synergistic premalignant effects of chronic ethanol exposure and insulin receptor substrate-1 overexpression in liver

Journal Article Hepatology Research · August 13, 2008 Aim: Insulin receptor substrate, type 1 (IRS-1) transmits growth and survival signals, and is overexpressed in more than 90% of hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs). However, experimental overexpression of IRS-1 in the liver was found not to be sufficient to c ... Full text Cite

Aspartyl-(asparaginyl)-beta-hydroxylase regulates hepatocellular carcinoma invasiveness.

Journal Article J Hepatol · May 2006 BACKGROUND/AIMS: We measured aspartyl (asparaginyl)-beta-hydroxylase (AAH) gene expression in human hepatocelluar carcinoma and surrounding uninvolved liver at both the mRNA and protein level and examined the regulation and function of this enzyme. METHODS ... Full text Link to item Cite

Oncogenic role of the frizzled-7/beta-catenin pathway in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Journal Article J Hepatol · November 2005 BACKGROUND/AIMS: The molecular mechanisms of hepatocarcinogenesis remain largely unknown. Previous studies suggest that activation of the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway is important during hepatocyte transformation but the role of Frizzled receptor (FZD) in this ... Full text Link to item Cite

Potential role of PTEN phosphatase in ethanol-impaired survival signaling in the liver.

Journal Article Hepatology · September 2003 Chronic ethanol consumption can cause sustained hepatocellular injury and inhibit the subsequent regenerative response. These effects of ethanol may be mediated by impaired hepatocyte survival mechanisms. The present study examines the effects of ethanol o ... Full text Link to item Cite
