Abstract: Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders have an increased risk of developing liver cancer and higher risk of death compared to non-Hispanic White individuals. The role of individual-level risk factors, social determinants of health, and barriers navigating health systems present unique challenges in obtaining liver cancer care for these patients. Additionally, the Asian American and Pacific Islander population is a heterogenous group originating from several different countries and speaking various languages, and they are often underrepresented in cancer clinical trial populations. This article describes the challenges faced by Asian American and Pacific Islander patients with liver cancer from the clinician, research, and patient advocacy perspectives and proposes targeted solutions to reduce healthcare disparities in this group.

Keywords: Asian American and Pacific Islander, health equity, hepatocellular carcinoma, cancer care
摘要:与非西班牙裔白人相比,亚裔美国人和太平洋岛民罹患肝癌的风险更高,死亡风险也更高。个人层面的风险因素、健康的社会决定因素以及在医疗系统中遇到的障碍,为这些患者获得肝癌治疗带来了独特的挑战。此外,亚裔美国人和太平洋岛民是一个异质群体,他们来自多个不同的国家,讲各种语言,在癌症临床试验人群中的代表性往往不足。本文从临床医生、研究和患者权益保护的角度阐述了亚裔美国人和太平洋岛民肝癌患者所面临的挑战,并提出了有针对性的解决方案,以减少这一群体在医疗保健方面的差异:亚裔美国人和太平洋岛民、健康公平、肝细胞癌、癌症护理

Background: A limited number of studies have examined the use of radiomics to predict 3-year overall survival (OS) after hepatectomy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study develops 3-year OS prediction models for HCC patients after liver resection using MRI radiomics and clinicopathological factors.
Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis of 141 patients who underwent surgical resection of HCC was performed. Patients were randomized into two set: the training set (n=98) and the validation set (n=43) including the survival groups (n=111) and non-survival groups (n=30) based on 3-year survival after hepatectomy. Furthermore, x2 or Fisher’s exact test, univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to determine independent clinicopathological risk factors associated with 3-year OS. 1688 quantitative imaging features were extracted from preoperative T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (CE-MRI) of arterial phase (AP), portal venous phases (PVP)and delay period (DP). The features were selected using the variance threshold method, the select K best method and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm. By using Bernoulli Naive Bayes (BernoulliNB) and Multinomial Naive Bayes (MultinomialNB) classifiers, we constructed models based on the independent clinicopathological factors and Rad-scores. To determine the best model, receiver operating characteristics (ROC) and Delong’s test were used. Moreover, calibration curves were used to determine the calibration ability of the model, while decision curve analysis (DCA) was implemented to evaluate its clinical benefit.
Results: The fusion model showed excellent prediction precision with AUC of 0.910 and 0.846 in training and validation set and revealed significant diagnostic accuracy and value in the calibration curve and DCA analysis.
Conclusion: Nomograms based on MRI radiomics and clinicopathological factors have significant predictive value for 3-year OS after hepatectomy and can be used for risk classification.

背景:利用放射组学预测肝细胞癌(HCC)患者肝切除术后3年总生存率(OS)的研究数量有限。本研究利用磁共振成像放射组学和临床病理因素建立了肝切除术后HCC患者3年OS预测模型:对141例接受手术切除的HCC患者进行回顾性分析。患者被随机分为两组:训练组(98 人)和验证组(43 人),其中包括根据肝切除术后 3 年生存率划分的生存组(111 人)和非生存组(30 人)。此外,还进行了x2或费雪精确检验、单变量和多变量逻辑回归分析,以确定与3年OS相关的独立临床病理风险因素。从术前T2加权成像(T2WI)和对比增强磁共振成像(CE-MRI)的动脉期(AP)、门静脉期(PVP)和延迟期(DP)中提取了1688个定量成像特征。采用方差阈值法、选择 K 最佳法和最小绝对收缩和选择算子(LASSO)算法选择特征。通过使用伯努利奈何贝叶斯(BernoulliNB)和多项式奈何贝叶斯(MultinomialNB)分类器,我们构建了基于独立临床病理因素和 Rad 评分的模型。为了确定最佳模型,我们使用了接收者操作特征(ROC)和德朗检验。此外,我们还使用校准曲线来确定模型的校准能力,并通过决策曲线分析(DCA)来评估其临床效益:结果:融合模型显示出极佳的预测精度,在训练集和验证集中的AUC分别为0.910和0.846,并且在校准曲线和DCA分析中显示出显著的诊断准确性和价值:基于MRI放射组学和临床病理因素的提名图对肝切除术后3年OS具有显著的预测价值,可用于风险分类。

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of combining hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) with lenvatinib (LEN) and PD-1 inhibitors in treating arterioportal shunt (APS) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT).
Patients and Methods: Conducted retrospectively, the study enrolled 54 HCC patients with APS and PVTT treated with HAIC, LEN, and PD-1 inhibitors at our center between January 2021 and October 2023. APS improvement, APS recanalization, tumor response, PVTT response rate, overall survival (OS), intrahepatic progression-free survival (InPFS), and adverse events were evaluated.
Results: APS improvement was observed in 42 patients (77.8%), with all improvement occurring within two treatment sessions. Complete APS occlusion was achieved in 40 patients (74.1%), and no recanalization occurred. The best objective response rate (ORR) and ORR after two HAIC sessions were 74.1% and 66.7%, respectively. The best PVTT response and PVTT response after two HAIC sessions were 98.1% and 94.4%, respectively. The median OS and InPFS were 10.0 months and 5.0 months, respectively. OS and InPFS were longer in patients with APS occlusion compared to those without (OS 12.1 vs 4.4 months, P< 0.001, InPFS 6.2 vs 2.3 months, P=0.049). ALBI grade, extrahepatic spread, APS disappearance were potential prognostic factors for OS, while APS grade and extrahepatic spread being independently associated with InPFS. No treatment-related mortality occurred.
Conclusion: Combining HAIC with LEN and PD-1 inhibitors proves to be both effective and safe in managing APS in HCC with PVTT, potentially improving patient survival.

Keywords: hepatocellular carcinoma, shunt, portal vein tumor thrombus, hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy, combination therapy
目的:本研究旨在评估肝动脉灌注化疗(HAIC)与来伐替尼(LEN)和PD-1抑制剂联合治疗门静脉肿瘤血栓(PVTT)肝细胞癌(HCC)患者动脉门静脉分流(APS)的有效性和安全性:本研究采用回顾性方法,纳入了2021年1月至2023年10月期间在本中心接受HAIC、LEN和PD-1抑制剂治疗的54例APS和PVTT肝癌患者。对APS改善、APS再通、肿瘤反应、PVTT反应率、总生存期(OS)、肝内无进展生存期(InPFS)和不良事件进行了评估:42名患者(77.8%)的APS有所改善,所有改善均发生在两个疗程内。40名患者(74.1%)实现了APS完全闭塞,没有发生再闭塞。两次 HAIC 治疗后的最佳客观反应率(ORR)和 ORR 分别为 74.1%和 66.7%。最佳PVTT反应率和两次HAIC治疗后的PVTT反应率分别为98.1%和94.4%。中位OS和InPFS分别为10.0个月和5.0个月。与无APS闭塞的患者相比,有APS闭塞的患者的OS和InPFS更长(OS为12.1个月 vs 4.4个月,P< 0.001,InPFS为6.2个月 vs 2.3个月,P=0.049)。ALBI分级、肝外扩散、APS消失是OS的潜在预后因素,而APS分级和肝外扩散与InPFS独立相关。无治疗相关死亡发生:结论:HAIC与LEN和PD-1抑制剂联合治疗PVTT合并HCC的APS既有效又安全,可改善患者生存。

Objective: To develop a simple and effective prognostic scoring system to predict the efficacy of drug-eluting bead-transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Methods: Data were retrospectively collected from 230 patients with HCC who received DEB-TACE treatment at six medical centers between January 2019 and December 2022. We developed a predictive score based on independent risk factors for overall survival (OS), validated the model using a validation cohort, and compared its prognostic accuracy with commonly used HCC staging systems.
Results: The number of tumors, albumin-bilirubin levels, alpha-fetoprotein levels, and portal vein thrombus grade were identified as independent factors influencing OS. Based on these factors, we established the DEB-TACE treatment of HCC (DTH) scoring system. The DTH score correlated well with OS, which decreased as the DTH score increased. According to the DTH score, patients were categorized into three risk groups: low-risk (DTH-A, 0– 4 points), medium-risk (DTH-B, 5– 6 points), and high-risk (DTH-A, 7 points). The OS of each risk group was 18.73± 0.62 months, 12.73± 0.10 months, and 6.93± 0.19 months, respectively (p< 0.001). The external cohort validation confirmed the accuracy of the DTH score, demonstrating superior predictive performance compared to other commonly used HCC scoring systems.
Conclusion: The DTH-HCC scoring system effectively predicts the outcomes of HCC patients undergoing DEB-TACE as initial treatment. This model can aid in the initial planning and decision-making process for DEB-TACE treatment in HCC patients.

Background: The dominant artery blood supply is a characteristic of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, it is not known whether the blood supply can predict the post-hepatectomy prognosis of patients with HCC. This retrospective study investigated the prognostic value of the portal venous and arterial blood supply estimated on triphasic liver CT (as a portal venous coefficient, PVC, and hepatic arterial coefficient, HAC, respectively) in patients with HCC following hepatectomy.
Methods: HCC patients who were tested by triphasic liver CT 2 weeks before hepatectomy and received R0 hepatectomy at the Second Affiliated Hospital, Kunming Medical University between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2020, were retrospectively screened. Their PVC and HAC, and other variables were analyzed for the prediction of overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator and Cox proportional hazard regression models.
Results: Four hundred and nineteen patients (53.2 ± 10.6 years of age and 370 men) were evaluated. A shorter OS was independently associated with higher blood albumin and total bilirubin grade [hazard ratio (HR) 2.020, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.534– 2.660], higher Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage (HR 1.514, 95% CI 1.290– 1.777), PVC ≤ 0.386 (HR 1.628, 95% CI 1.149– 2.305), and HAC > 0.029 (HR 1.969, 95% CI 1.380– 2.809). A shorter RFS was independently associated with male (HR 1.652, 95% CI 1.005– 2.716), higher serum α-fetoprotein ≥ 400 ng/mL (HR 1.672, 95% CI 1.236– 2.263), higher BCLC stage (HR 1.516, 95% CI 1.300– 1.768), tumor PVC ≤ 0.386 (HR 1.641, 95% CI 1.198– 2.249), and tumor HAC > 0.029 (HR 1.455, 95% CI 1.060– 1.997).
Conclusion: Tumor PVC or HAC before hepatectomy is valuable for independently predicting postoperative survival of HCC patients.

Background: CD276 is an emerging immune checkpoint molecule that has been implicated in various cancers. However, its specific role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear. This study examined the impact of CD276 on patient prognosis and the tumor microenvironment (TME).
Methods: The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database was utilized to evaluate CD276 expression in HCC and the association between CD276 and immune indicators was also analyzed. The signaling pathways correlated with CD276 expression were identified by gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA). Different algorithms were used to assess immune cell infiltration. The effect of CD276 knockdown on HCC cell phenotypes and its relationship with macrophage polarization was examined using the cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8) assay and co-culture system.
Results: CD276 was upregulated in HCC and associated with unfavorable clinical outcomes. Hgh CD276 expression was associated with enrichment of the G2/M checkpoint, E2F targets, and mitotic spindles. CD276 expression was correlated with the infiltration of immune cells, including high level of tumor-associated macrophages and low levels of CD8+ T cells. Knockdown of CD276 decreased HCC cell proliferation and increased apoptosis. CD276 silencing in HCC cells and co-culture with THP-1–derived macrophages had a regulatory effect on macrophage polarization and macrophage-mediated cell proliferation and migration.
Conclusion: CD276 expression in HCC is associated with unfavorable clinical outcomes and may contribute to the development of an immunosuppressive microenvironment. Specifically, CD276 was associated with alterations in immune cell infiltration, immune marker expression, and macrophage polarization during HCC progression, suggesting its potential as a prognostic indicator and promising target for immunotherapeutic intervention in HCC.

背景:CD276 是一种新兴的免疫检查点分子,与多种癌症有关联。然而,它在肝细胞癌(HCC)中的具体作用仍不清楚。本研究探讨了 CD276 对患者预后和肿瘤微环境(TME)的影响:方法:利用癌症基因组图谱(TCGA)数据库评估CD276在HCC中的表达,并分析CD276与免疫指标之间的关联。通过基因组富集分析(GSEA)确定了与CD276表达相关的信号通路。采用不同的算法评估免疫细胞浸润。使用细胞计数试剂盒8(CCK-8)测定法和共培养系统检测了CD276敲除对HCC细胞表型的影响及其与巨噬细胞极化的关系:结果:CD276在HCC中上调,并与不利的临床结果相关。高CD276表达与G2/M检查点、E2F靶点和有丝分裂轴的富集有关。CD276 的表达与免疫细胞的浸润相关,包括高水平的肿瘤相关巨噬细胞和低水平的 CD8+ T 细胞。敲除 CD276 可减少 HCC 细胞增殖,增加细胞凋亡。在HCC细胞中沉默CD276并与THP-1衍生巨噬细胞共培养,对巨噬细胞极化和巨噬细胞介导的细胞增殖和迁移有调节作用:结论:CD276在HCC中的表达与不利的临床预后有关,并可能导致免疫抑制微环境的形成。具体而言,CD276与HCC进展过程中免疫细胞浸润、免疫标志物表达和巨噬细胞极化的改变有关,这表明CD276有可能成为HCC的预后指标和免疫治疗干预的靶点。

Purpose: The aim of our study was to investigate the relationship between albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) grade and recurrence in patients who underwent TACE sequential ablation. We developed and validated a nomogram to predict low levels of ALBI patients’ recurrence.
Patients and Methods: A total of 880 patients undergoing TACE combined ablation at Beijing Youan Hospital from January 2014 to December 2021 were retrospectively enrolled, including 415 patients with L-ALBI (≤-2.6) and 465 patients with high levels (>-2.6) of ALBI (H-ALBI). L-ALBI patients were randomized in a 7:3 ratio into the training cohort (N=289) and validation cohort (N=126). Multivariate Cox regression followed by random survival forest was carried out to identify independent risk factors for prediction nomogram construction. An examination of nomogram accuracy was performed using the C-index, receiver operating characteristic (ROC), calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA) curves. According to the nomogram, the patients were divided into low-risk, intermediate-risk, and high-risk groups. Kaplan-Meier (KM) curves were applied to compare the difference in recurrence-free survival (RFS) among the three groups.
Results: The median RFS in L-ALBI patients was significantly longer than the H-ALBI patients (40.8m vs 20.1m, HR:1.71, 95% CI:1.44– 2.04, P< 0.0001). The nomogram was composed of five variables, such as age, Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage, globulin, gamma-glutamyl transferase to lymphocyte ratio (GLR), and international normalized ratio (INR). The C-index (0.722 and 0.731) and 1-, 3-, and 5-year AUCs (0.725, 0.803, 0.870, and 0.764, 0.816, 0.798) of the training and validation cohorts proved the good predictive performance of the nomogram. Calibration curves and DCA curves demonstrated good consistency and good clinical utility. There were significant differences in RFS between the low-risk, intermediate-risk, and high-risk groups (P< 0.0001).
Conclusion: L-ALBI Patients who underwent TACE combined ablation had better recurrence-free survival than patients with H-ALBI. The nomogram developed and validated in our study had good predictive ability in recurrence for L-ALBI patients.

Background: Posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) is a serious complication associated with high mortality rates. Machine learning (ML) has rapidly developed and may outperform traditional models in predicting PHLF in patients who have undergone hepatectomy. This study aimed to predict PHLF using ML and compare its performance with that of traditional scoring systems.
Methods: The clinicopathological data of 334 patients who underwent liver resection were retrospectively collected. The Pycaret library, a simple, open-source machine learning library, was used to compare multiple classification models for PHLF prediction. The predictive performance of 15 ML algorithms was compared using the mean area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) and accuracy, and the best-fit model was selected among 15 ML algorithms. Next, the predictive performance of the selected ML-PHLF model was compared with that of routine scoring systems, the albumin-bilirubin score (ALBI) and the fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) index, using AUROC.
Results: The best model was extreme gradient boosting (accuracy:93.1%; AUROC:0.863) among the 15 ML algorithms. As compared with ALBI and FIB-4, the ML PHLF model had higher AUROC for predicting PHLF.
Conclusion: The novel ML model for predicting PHLF outperformed routine scoring systems.

Purpose: The crosstalk between hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells and hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) is one of the important mechanisms of liver cancer metastasis. The relationship between liver cancer metastasis and glycolysis has been extensively studied recently. However, the role of von Willebrand factor (vWF) mediated glycolysis mechanism in liver cancer metastasis is currently unknown.
Methods: Western blot was used to verify the expression of vWF in HCC cells. PAS staining, glycogen and L-lactate content assays were used to reflect cellular glycolysis levels. The ability of cell migration was explored by Wound-healing and Transwell assays. Besides, the effect of vWF on the progression of HCC in vivo was also studied using subcutaneous xenograft model.
Results: vWF derived from HCC cells promoted tumor migration by mediating glycolysis. Besides, vWF participated in the crosstalk between HCC cells and HSCs. HCC cells activated HSCs through vWF-mediated TGFB1 expression and secretion, and activated HSCs upregulated vWF expression in HCC cells through IL-6 secretion feedback. Further, in vitro and in vivo experiments also confirmed the importance of the JAK1/vWF/TGFB1 axis in regulating HSCs-derived IL-6 mediated HCC migration and growth.
Conclusion: In summary, this article demonstrated that IL-6 released from hepatic stellate cells enhanced glycolysis and migration ability of liver cancer cells by activating JAK1/vWF/TGFB1 axis which may also be a potential target for inhibiting liver cancer metastasis.

目的:肝细胞癌(HCC)细胞与肝星状细胞(HSCs)之间的串联是肝癌转移的重要机制之一。肝癌转移与糖酵解之间的关系近来已得到广泛研究。然而,von Willebrand因子(vWF)介导的糖酵解机制在肝癌转移中的作用目前尚不清楚:方法:采用 Western 印迹法检测 HCC 细胞中 vWF 的表达。方法:用 Western blot 验证 HCC 细胞中 vWF 的表达,用 PAS 染色、糖原和 L-乳酸含量测定反映细胞的糖酵解水平。通过伤口愈合和 Transwell 试验检测细胞迁移能力。此外,还利用皮下异种移植模型研究了 vWF 对 HCC 在体内进展的影响。此外,vWF 还参与了 HCC 细胞与造血干细胞之间的串联。HCC细胞通过vWF介导的TGFB1表达和分泌激活造血干细胞,激活的造血干细胞通过IL-6分泌反馈上调HCC细胞中vWF的表达。此外,体外和体内实验也证实了JAK1/vWF/TGFB1轴在调节造血干细胞衍生的IL-6介导的HCC迁移和生长中的重要性:综上所述,本文证明了肝星状细胞释放的IL-6通过激活JAK1/vWF/TGFB1轴增强了肝癌细胞的糖酵解和迁移能力,这也可能是抑制肝癌转移的潜在靶点。
{"title":"IL-6 Released from Hepatic Stellate Cells Promotes Glycolysis and Migration of HCC Through the JAK1/vWF/TGFB1 Axis","authors":"Yifei Zhu, Jiayi Gu, Yuxin Lu, Qianying Tao, Xinliang Cao, Yanqing Zhu, Mu-qing Yang, Xin Liang","doi":"10.2147/jhc.s464880","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2147/jhc.s464880","url":null,"abstract":"<strong>Purpose:</strong> The crosstalk between hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells and hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) is one of the important mechanisms of liver cancer metastasis. The relationship between liver cancer metastasis and glycolysis has been extensively studied recently. However, the role of von Willebrand factor (vWF) mediated glycolysis mechanism in liver cancer metastasis is currently unknown.<br/><strong>Methods:</strong> Western blot was used to verify the expression of vWF in HCC cells. PAS staining, glycogen and L-lactate content assays were used to reflect cellular glycolysis levels. The ability of cell migration was explored by Wound-healing and Transwell assays. Besides, the effect of vWF on the progression of HCC in vivo was also studied using subcutaneous xenograft model.<br/><strong>Results:</strong> vWF derived from HCC cells promoted tumor migration by mediating glycolysis. Besides, vWF participated in the crosstalk between HCC cells and HSCs. HCC cells activated HSCs through vWF-mediated TGFB1 expression and secretion, and activated HSCs upregulated vWF expression in HCC cells through IL-6 secretion feedback. Further, in vitro and in vivo experiments also confirmed the importance of the JAK1/vWF/TGFB1 axis in regulating HSCs-derived IL-6 mediated HCC migration and growth.<br/><strong>Conclusion:</strong> In summary, this article demonstrated that IL-6 released from hepatic stellate cells enhanced glycolysis and migration ability of liver cancer cells by activating JAK1/vWF/TGFB1 axis which may also be a potential target for inhibiting liver cancer metastasis.<br/><br/><strong>Keywords:</strong> glycolysis, crosstalk, vWF, migration<br/>","PeriodicalId":15906,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hepatocellular Carcinoma","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141546420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
