Subways are widely used in major cities around the world, and subway fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is the main source of daily PM2.5 exposure for urban residents. Exposure to subway PM2.5 leads to acute inflammatory damage in humans, which has been confirmed in mouse in vivo studies. However, the concrete mechanism by which subway PM2.5 causes airway damage remains obscure. In this study, we found that subway PM2.5 triggered release of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin 17E, tumor necrosis factor α, transforming growth factor β, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin from human bronchial epithelial cells (BEAS-2B) in a dose–effect relationship. Subsequently, supernatant recovered from the subway PM2.5 group significantly increased expression of the aforementioned cytokines in BEAS-2B cells compared with the subway PM2.5 group. Additionally, tight junctions (TJs) of BEAS-2B cells including zonula occludens-1, E-cadherin, and occludin were decreased by subway PM2.5 in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, supernatant recovered from the subway PM2.5 group markedly decreased the expression of these TJs compared with the control group. Furthermore, inhibitors of toll-like receptors (TLRs) and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), as well as chelate resins (e.g., chelex) and deferoxamine, remarkably ameliorated the observed changes of cytokines and TJs caused by subway PM2.5 in BEAS-2B cells. Therefore, these results suggest that subway PM2.5 induced a decline of TJs after an initial ascent of cytokine expression, and subway PM2.5 altered expression of both cytokines and TJs by activating TLRs/NF-κB-dependent pathway in BEAS-2B cells. The metal components of subway PM2.5 may contribute to the airway epithelial injury.

地铁在世界各大城市广泛使用,地铁细颗粒物(PM2.5)是城市居民每天接触 PM2.5 的主要来源。暴露于地铁 PM2.5 会导致人体急性炎症损伤,这已在小鼠体内研究中得到证实。然而,地铁PM2.5导致气道损伤的具体机制仍不清楚。在这项研究中,我们发现地铁PM2.5会引发人支气管上皮细胞(BEAS-2B)释放白细胞介素17E、肿瘤坏死因子α、转化生长因子β和胸腺基质淋巴细胞生成素等促炎细胞因子,且存在剂量效应关系。随后,与地铁 PM2.5 组相比,从地铁 PM2.5 组回收的上清液显著增加了 BEAS-2B 细胞中上述细胞因子的表达。此外,地铁PM2.5还以剂量依赖的方式降低了BEAS-2B细胞的紧密连接(TJ),包括Zonula occludens-1、E-cadherin和occludin。此外,与对照组相比,从地铁 PM2.5 组回收的上清液明显降低了这些 TJ 的表达。此外,收费样受体(TLRs)和核因子-卡巴B(NF-κB)抑制剂以及螯合树脂(如chelex)和去氧胺能明显改善地铁PM2.5在BEAS-2B细胞中引起的细胞因子和TJs的变化。因此,这些结果表明,地铁PM2.5在最初的细胞因子表达上升后诱导了TJs的下降,地铁PM2.5通过激活TLRs/NF-κB依赖途径改变了BEAS-2B细胞中细胞因子和TJs的表达。地铁PM2.5中的金属成分可能是造成气道上皮损伤的原因之一。

Paraquat (PQ) is a noxious herbicide which adversely affects the vital organs including male reproductive system. Sudachitin (SCN) is a naturally occurring flavonoid that demonstrates a wide range of biological potentials. The current study was designed to investigate the alleviative potential of SCN to avert PQ-induced testicular toxicity in rats. Forty-eight male rats (Rattus norvegicus) were apportioned into four groups including control, PQ (5 mg/kg), PQ + SCN (5 mg/kg + 30 mg/kg), and SCN (30 mg/kg) only treated group. Our findings elucidated that PQ treatment reduced the expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf-2) and its antioxidant genes as well as the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione reductase (GSR) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx), while elevating the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and malondialdehyde (MDA). Furthermore, PQ intoxication upregulated the expressions of Keap-1 while downregulating the expression of 3-beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3β-HSD), 17-beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (17β-HSD), and steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR). Moreover, sperm anomalies were increased following the exposure to PQ. Besides, PQ exposure decreased the levels of plasma testosterone, luteinizing hormone (LH), and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) while increasing the levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), interleukin-1beta (IL-1β), and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). Additionally, PQ treatment escalated the expressions of cysteinyl aspartate-specific proteases-3 (Caspase-3) and Bcl-2-associated X-protein (Bax) while downregulating the expressions of B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2). Furthermore, PQ exposure disrupted the normal architecture of testicular tissues. However, SCN treatment remarkably protected the testicular tissues via regulating the aforementioned disruptions owing to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and androgenic potential.

百草枯(PQ)是一种有毒除草剂,会对包括男性生殖系统在内的重要器官产生不利影响。苏达其丁(SCN)是一种天然黄酮类化合物,具有广泛的生物潜力。本研究旨在调查 SCN 在避免 PQ 诱导的大鼠睾丸毒性方面的缓解潜力。研究人员将 48 只雄性大鼠(Rattus norvegicus)分成四组,包括对照组、PQ(5 毫克/千克)组、PQ + SCN(5 毫克/千克 + 30 毫克/千克)组和仅 SCN(30 毫克/千克)处理组。我们的研究结果表明,PQ 处理会降低核因子红细胞 2 相关因子 2(Nrf-2)及其抗氧化基因的表达,以及超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、谷胱甘肽还原酶(GSR)和谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GPx)的活性,同时升高活性氧(ROS)和丙二醛(MDA)的水平。此外,PQ中毒会上调Keap-1的表达,同时下调3-β羟类固醇脱氢酶(3β-HSD)、17-β羟类固醇脱氢酶(17β-HSD)和类固醇生成急性调节蛋白(StAR)的表达。此外,接触 PQ 后精子畸形率增加。此外,接触 PQ 会降低血浆中睾酮、黄体生成素(LH)和促卵泡激素(FSH)的水平,同时增加白细胞介素-6(IL-6)、肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)、核因子卡巴 B(NF-κB)、白细胞介素-1β(IL-1β)和环氧化酶-2(COX-2)的水平。此外,PQ 处理会增加半胱氨酰天冬氨酸特异性蛋白酶-3(Caspase-3)和 Bcl-2 相关 X 蛋白(Bax)的表达,同时下调 B 细胞淋巴瘤-2(Bcl-2)的表达。此外,PQ 暴露破坏了睾丸组织的正常结构。然而,由于 SCN 具有抗氧化、抗炎和雄激素潜能,它能通过调节上述破坏作用显著保护睾丸组织。

Phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC), a natural product, exists in biological activities, including anticancer activity in many human cancer cells. No information shows that PEITC affects DNA damage in human retinoblastoma (RB) cells in vitro. In this study, the aim of experiments was to determine whether PEITC decreased total viable cell number or not by inducing protein expressions involved in DNA damage and repair in Y79 RB cells in vitro. Total cell viability was measured by PI exclusion assay, and PEITC reduced the total Y79 viable cell numbers in a dose-dependent manner. DNA condensation and DNA impairment were conducted by DAPI staining and comet assays, respectively, in Y79 cells. The findings show that PEITC induced DNA condensation dose-dependently based on the brighter fluorescence of cell nuclei stained by DAPI staining. PEITC-induced DNA damage showed a more extended DNA migration smears than that of the control, which was performed by a comet assay. Western blotting was performed to measure the protein expressions involved in DNA damage and repair, which showed that PEITC at 2.5–10 μM increased NRF2, HO-1, SOD (Mn), and catalase; however, it decreased SOD (Cu/Zn) except 10 μM PEITC treatment, and decreased glutathione, which were associated with oxidative stress. Furthermore, PEITC increased DNA-PK, MDC1, H2A.XpSer139, ATMpSer1981, p53, p53pSer15, PARP, HSP70, and HSP90, but decreased TOPIIα, TOPIIβ, and MDM2pSer166 that were associated with DNA damage and repair mechanism in Y79 cells. The examination from confocal laser microscopy shows that PEITC increased H2A.XpSer139 and p53pSer15, and decreased glutathione and TOPIIα in Y79 cells. In conclusion, the cytotoxic effects of PEITC on reducing the number of viable cells may be due to the induction of DNA damage and the alteration of DNA repair proteins in Y79 cells in vitro.

异硫氰酸苯乙酯(PEITC)是一种天然产品,具有多种生物活性,包括对许多人类癌细胞的抗癌活性。目前还没有资料显示 PEITC 在体外影响人类视网膜母细胞瘤(RB)细胞的 DNA 损伤。本研究的目的是确定 PEITC 是否会通过诱导 Y79 RB 细胞中参与 DNA 损伤和修复的蛋白质表达来减少细胞的总存活数。实验采用 PI 排除法测定细胞的总存活率,PEITC 以剂量依赖的方式减少了 Y79 存活细胞的总数。通过 DAPI 染色和彗星试验分别检测了 Y79 细胞的 DNA 缩合和 DNA 损伤。研究结果表明,根据 DAPI 染色后细胞核荧光的亮度,PEITC 诱导的 DNA 缩合与剂量有关。彗星试验显示,与对照组相比,PEITC 诱导的 DNA 损伤显示出更长的 DNA 迁移涂片。Western印迹法测定了参与DNA损伤和修复的蛋白质表达,结果表明,2.5-10 μM的PEITC可增加NRF2、HO-1、SOD(锰)和过氧化氢酶;但除10 μM PEITC处理外,SOD(铜/锌)降低,谷胱甘肽降低,这与氧化应激有关。此外,PEITC 增加了 Y79 细胞中与 DNA 损伤和修复机制相关的 DNA-PK、MDC1、H2A.XpSer139、ATMpSer1981、p53、p53pSer15、PARP、HSP70 和 HSP90,但减少了 TOPIIα、TOPIIβ 和 MDM2pSer166。激光共聚焦显微镜检查显示,PEITC 增加了 Y79 细胞中的 H2A.XpSer139 和 p53pSer15,降低了谷胱甘肽和 TOPIIα。总之,PEITC 对减少存活细胞数量的细胞毒性作用可能是由于在体外诱导了 Y79 细胞的 DNA 损伤和 DNA 修复蛋白的改变。

Oxyresveratrol (OxyR) exerts biological and pharmacological effects in a variety of tumor cells, including antioxidant action, antitumor activity, and proapoptotic effects. However, the regulation of targeted signaling pathways by OxyR and the mechanism underlying these effects in human renal cell carcinoma (RCC) have been less studied. We observed that OxyR at noncytotoxic doses did not affect the growth of human RCC cells or normal kidney HK2 cells. OxyR inhibited ACHN and Caki-1 cell migration and invasion through targeting matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP1) expression. Analysis of clinical databases showed that high MMP1 expression is associated with lower overall survival (OS) in these cancers (p < 0.01). OxyR significantly inhibited the mRNA and protein expression of Sp1. Furthermore, luciferase assay results showed that OxyR inhibited Sp1 transcriptional activity. Additionally, OxyR preferentially suppressed the activation of ERK and PKCα. Treatment with U0126 (MEK inhibitor) or G06976 (PKCα inhibitor) clearly decreased Sp1 and MMP1 expression and inhibited RCC cell migration and invasion. In conclusion, OxyR may be a potential antitumor therapy for the inhibition of migration and invasion by controlling p-ERK/Sp1 and p-PKCα/Sp1-mediated MMP1 expression in RCC.

Bladder cancer (BC), the predominant urological malignancy in men, exhibits complex molecular underpinnings contributing to its progression. This investigation aims to elucidate the expression dynamics of calcium-binding protein 39 (CAB39) in both healthy and cancerous tissues and to explore its functional role in the epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) within human bladder cancer contexts. Utilizing immunohistochemistry and quantitative reverse transcription analyses, we assessed CAB39 expression across BC specimens and cell lines. Further, we implemented wound healing, cell invasion, and CCK-8 proliferation assays in CAB39-knockdown cell lines, alongside a nude mouse xenograft model, to gauge the impact of diminished CAB39 expression on the invasive, migratory, and proliferative capacities of BC cells. Our gene set enrichment analysis probed into the repertoire of genes augmented by increased CAB39 expression in BC cells, with subsequent validation via western blotting. Our findings reveal a pronounced overexpression of CAB39 in both BC tissues and cellular models, inversely correlated with disease prognosis. Remarkably, the oncogenic trajectory of bladder cancer was mitigated upon the establishment of shRNA-mediated CAB39 knockdown in vitro and in vivo, effectively reversing the cancer's invasive and metastatic behaviors and curbing tumorigenesis in xenograft models. Hence, CAB39 emerges as a critical biomarker for bladder cancer progression, significantly implicated in facilitating EMT via the upregulation of neural cadherin (N-cadherin) and the suppression of epithelial cadherin through NF-κB signaling pathways.

膀胱癌(BC)是男性最主要的泌尿系统恶性肿瘤,其进展的分子基础非常复杂。本研究旨在阐明钙结合蛋白 39(CAB39)在健康组织和癌组织中的表达动态,并探索其在人类膀胱癌上皮-间质转化(EMT)过程中的功能作用。通过免疫组化和定量反转录分析,我们评估了CAB39在膀胱癌标本和细胞系中的表达。此外,我们还在 CAB39 敲除细胞系和裸鼠异种移植模型中进行了伤口愈合、细胞侵袭和 CCK-8 增殖试验,以评估 CAB39 表达减少对 BC 细胞侵袭、迁移和增殖能力的影响。我们的基因组富集分析探究了 BC 细胞中 CAB39 表达增加所增强的基因谱系,并随后通过 Western 印迹进行了验证。我们的研究结果表明,CAB39 在 BC 组织和细胞模型中都有明显的过表达,这与疾病的预后成反比。值得注意的是,在体外和体内建立 shRNA 介导的 CAB39 基因敲除后,膀胱癌的致癌轨迹得到了缓解,有效逆转了癌症的侵袭和转移行为,并抑制了异种移植模型中的肿瘤发生。因此,CAB39成为膀胱癌进展的一个关键生物标志物,它通过上调神经粘连蛋白(N-cadherin)和抑制上皮粘连蛋白(通过NF-κB信号通路)促进EMT。CU-T12-9能有效地逆转CAB39敲除引起的p65-NF-kB和N-cadherin的下调,而p65-NF-kB和N-cadherin是参与EMT和细胞运动的关键因素。这项研究强调了 CAB39 在膀胱癌病理生理学中的关键作用及其作为治疗靶点的潜力。

Background

Oxidative stress serves a crucial role in tumor development. However, the relationship between ovarian cancer and oxidative stress remains unknown. We aimed to create an oxidative stress-related prognostic signature to enhance the prognosis prediction of CC patients using bioinformatics.

Methods

The genes differentially expressed and associated with oxidative stress were extracted with the help of “limma” packages. The model for prognosis was created using Multivariate Cox regression analysis to determine the risk related to the genes related to oxidative stress. Patients were categorized as low-risk or high-risk based on the median score. The receiver operation characteristic (ROC) and survival curves were used to evaluate the predictive effect of the prognostic signature. We utilized quantitative real-time PCR to assess the expression levels of key genes associated with oxidative stress in ovarian cancer cell lines (SKOV3, OVCAR3, and HeyA8) and normal ovarian epithelial cells (HOSEpiC).

Results

A signature comprising seven genes associated with oxidative stress was developed to prognosticate patients with ovarian cancer. Overall survival (OS) of the patient having CC was determined using Kaplan–Meier analysis. It was found that patient with a higher risk score had lower OS than the low-risk score. The signature of genes associated with oxidative stress was found to be independently prognostic for 1, 2, and 3 years. Further research found that the expression levels of nine hub genes had a strong association with patient outcomes. Our analysis revealed a higher expression of CX3CR1 in ovarian cancer cell lines compared with normal cells.

Conclusions

To deploy a novel oxidative stress-related prognostic signature as an independent biomarker in cervical cancer, we developed and validated it.

背景:氧化应激在肿瘤发生发展过程中起着至关重要的作用。然而,卵巢癌与氧化应激之间的关系仍然未知。我们的目的是利用生物信息学建立一个与氧化应激相关的预后特征,以加强对卵巢癌患者的预后预测:方法:利用 "limma "软件包提取与氧化应激相关的差异表达基因。方法:利用 "limma "软件包提取了与氧化应激相关的差异表达基因,并利用多变量 Cox 回归分析建立了预后模型,以确定与氧化应激相关基因有关的风险。根据得分中位数将患者分为低风险和高风险。接受者操作特征曲线(ROC)和生存曲线用于评估预后特征的预测效果。我们利用定量实时 PCR 技术评估了卵巢癌细胞系(SKOV3、OVCAR3 和 HeyA8)和正常卵巢上皮细胞(HOSEpiC)中与氧化应激相关的关键基因的表达水平:结果:由七个与氧化应激相关的基因组成的特征被用来预测卵巢癌患者的预后。采用卡普兰-梅耶分析法确定了CC患者的总生存期(OS)。结果发现,风险评分较高的患者的 OS 低于风险评分较低的患者。研究发现,与氧化应激相关的基因特征可独立预测1年、2年和3年的预后。进一步的研究发现,九个枢纽基因的表达水平与患者的预后密切相关。我们的分析表明,与正常细胞相比,卵巢癌细胞系中CX3CR1的表达量更高:为了将新型氧化应激相关预后特征作为宫颈癌的独立生物标志物,我们开发并验证了该特征。

Background

Necroptosis is a type of programmed cell death involved in the pathogenesis of cancers. This work developed a prognostic glioblastoma (GBM) model based on necroptosis-related genes.

Methods

RNA-Seq data were collected from the TCGA database. The “WGCNA” method was used to identify co-expression modules, based on which GO and KEGG analyses were conducted. A protein–protein interaction (PPI) network was compiled. The number of key prognostic genes was reduced applying COX regression and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) analysis to build a RiskScore model. Differences in immune microenvironments were assessed using CIBERSORT, ESTIMATE, MCP-count, and TIMER databases. The potential impact of key prognostic genes on GBM was validated by cellular experiments.

Results

GBM patients in the higher necroptosis score group had higher immune scores and worse survival. The Brown module, which was closely related to the necroptosis score, was considered as a key gene module. Three key genes (GZMB, PLAUR, SOCS3) were obtained by performing regression analysis on the five clusters. The RiskScore model was significantly, positively, correlated with necroptosis score. Low-risk patients could benefit from immunotherapy, while high-risk patients may be more suitable to take multiple chemotherapy drugs. The nomogram showed strong performance in survival prediction. GZMB, PLAUR, and SOCS3 played key roles in GBM development. Among them, high-expressed GZMB was related to the invasive and migratory abilities of GBM cells.

Conclusions

A genetic signature associated with necroptosis was developed, and we constructed a RiskScore model to provide reference for predicting clinical outcomes and immunotherapy responses of patients with GBM.

背景:坏死是一种程序性细胞死亡,与癌症的发病机制有关。这项研究基于坏死相关基因建立了胶质母细胞瘤(GBM)预后模型:方法:从TCGA数据库中收集RNA-Seq数据。方法:从 TCGA 数据库中收集 RNA-Seq 数据,使用 "WGCNA "方法识别共表达模块,并在此基础上进行 GO 和 KEGG 分析。编制了蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用(PPI)网络。通过 COX 回归和最小绝对缩小和选择算子(LASSO)分析,减少了关键预后基因的数量,从而建立了一个 RiskScore 模型。利用 CIBERSORT、ESTIMATE、MCP-count 和 TIMER 数据库评估了免疫微环境的差异。细胞实验验证了关键预后基因对 GBM 的潜在影响:结果:坏死评分较高组的 GBM 患者免疫评分较高,生存率较低。与坏死评分密切相关的布朗模块被认为是关键基因模块。通过对五个聚类进行回归分析,得到了三个关键基因(GZMB、PLAUR、SOCS3)。RiskScore 模型与坏死评分呈显著正相关。低危患者可从免疫疗法中获益,而高危患者可能更适合接受多种化疗药物。提名图在生存预测方面表现出色。GZMB、PLAUR和SOCS3在GBM的发展中起着关键作用。结论:GZMB、PLAUR和SOCS3在GBM的发展中起着关键作用,其中GZMB的高表达与GBM细胞的侵袭和迁移能力有关:结论:我们建立了一个与坏死相关的基因特征,并构建了一个 RiskScore 模型,为预测 GBM 患者的临床预后和免疫治疗反应提供了参考。

This study explores the molecular interplay between systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and osteoporosis (OP), aiming to uncover shared gene signatures and pathways for better treatment approaches. Leveraging microarray data from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, we employed weighted gene coexpression network analysis to identify coexpression modules in SLE and OP, with subsequent protein–protein interaction analysis clarifying the connections among shared genes. Key genes were pinpointed using CytoHubba and random forest algorithms, validated across independent GEO datasets, and further analyzed through gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and immune infiltration studies. We discovered two highly correlated modules in SLE and OP, isolating 30 shared genes and identifying GBP1, SOCS1, IFI16, and XAF1 as central to both conditions. Notably, XAF1 and GBP1 mRNA levels were significantly elevated in the peripheral blood of SLE patients compared with healthy and RA counterparts, underscoring their potential as biomarkers. GSEA and immune infiltration analyses indicated pronounced immune and inflammatory responses, especially in interferon signaling pathways, implicating these core-shared gene networks in the diseases' pathogenesis. The findings highlight the involvement of GBP1, SOCS1, IFI16, and XAF1 in SLE with concurrent OP and suggest that targeting immune and inflammatory responses, particularly through interferon pathways, may offer therapeutic promise for these intertwined conditions.

本研究探讨了系统性红斑狼疮(SLE)和骨质疏松症(OP)之间的分子相互作用,旨在发现共同的基因特征和通路,从而找到更好的治疗方法。利用基因表达总库(GEO)数据库中的微阵列数据,我们采用加权基因共表达网络分析来确定系统性红斑狼疮和骨质疏松症的共表达模块,并通过随后的蛋白-蛋白相互作用分析来阐明共享基因之间的联系。我们使用 CytoHubba 和随机森林算法精确定位了关键基因,并在独立的 GEO 数据集中进行了验证,还通过基因组富集分析(GSEA)和免疫浸润研究进行了进一步分析。我们在 SLE 和 OP 中发现了两个高度相关的模块,分离出了 30 个共享基因,并确定 GBP1、SOCS1、IFI16 和 XAF1 是这两种疾病的核心基因。值得注意的是,在系统性红斑狼疮患者的外周血中,XAF1 和 GBP1 的 mRNA 水平与健康人和 RA 患者相比明显升高,这凸显了它们作为生物标记物的潜力。GSEA和免疫浸润分析表明了明显的免疫和炎症反应,尤其是在干扰素信号通路中,这表明这些核心共享基因网络与疾病的发病机制有关。研究结果表明,GBP1、SOCS1、IFI16 和 XAF1 参与了并发 OP 的系统性红斑狼疮的发病,并表明针对免疫和炎症反应,尤其是通过干扰素通路,可能会为这些相互交织的疾病提供治疗前景。

Objective

To compare the detection rates of hepatic artery digital subtraction angiography (HA-DSA) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) gadolinium diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (MRI-Gd-DTPA) and MRI gadolinium diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (MRI-Gd-EOB-DTPA) for small (diameter ≤2 cm) hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) lesions.

Methods

A prospective analysis of patients admitted to the Tumor Hospital of Guangxi Medical University between January 1, 2015, and December 30, 2016, was conducted. The detection rates of the three methods were analyzed. The diameter of small HCC lesions detected using HA-DSA and MRI-Gd-EOB-DTPA were evaluated. The diagnostic value of HCC Barcelona staging for HA-DSA was analyzed.

Results

For 107 small lesions detected in 57 patients, the detection rates of HA-DSA and MRI-Gd-DTPA were 86.0% (92/107) and 71.0% (76/107), respectively (p < .05). Of 77 small lesions detected in 42 patients using MRI-Gd-EOB-DTPA and HA-DSA, 67 were detected using HA-DSA, all of which had a rich blood supply, and 72 were detected using MRI-Gd-EOB-DTPA. The minimum diameter of lesions detected using MRI-Gd-EOB-DTPA was approximately 0.4 cm, whereas that of lesions detected using HA-DSA was approximately 0.5 cm. After HA-DSA, a change in the Barcelona staging occurred in 33.3% (62/186) of cases but not after MRI-Gd-DTPA; HA-DSA was significantly better than MRI-Gd-DTPA for staging (p = .03).

Conclusion

HA-DSA and MRI-Gd-EOB-DTPA have high diagnostic values for the detection of small HCC lesions, which is helpful for accurate staging of HCC and provides the most valuable information for patient treatment and prognosis.
