Previous studies have focussed on the pathogenesis of liver cirrhosis developing into HCC, but the molecular mechanism remains unclear. The aims of the present study were to identify key genes related to the transformation of cirrhosis into HCC, and explore the associated molecular mechanisms. Methods: GSE89377, GSE17548, GSE63898 and GSE54236 mRNA microarray datasets from Gene Expression Omni- bus (GEO) were analysed to obtain diferentially expressed genes (DEGs) between HCC and liver cirrhosis tissues, and network analysis of protein–protein interactions (PPIs) was carried out. String and Cytoscape were used to analyse modules and identify hub genes, Kaplan–Meier Plotter and Oncomine databases were used to explore relationships between hub genes and disease occurrence, development and prognosis of HCC, and the molecular mechanism of the main hub gene was probed using Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG) pathway analysis. -

Cell Cycle-Dependent Modification of Pot1 and Its Effects on Telomere
Cell cycle-dependent modification of Pot1 and its effects on telomere function Vitaliy Kuznetsov Thesis submitted towards the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University College of London Department of Biology London, WC1E 6BT The program of research was carried out at Cancer Research U.K. Laboratory of Telomere Biology 44 Lincoln’s Inn Fields, London, U.K. WC2A 3PX Supervisor: Dr Julia Promisel Cooper September 2008 I, Vitaliy Kuznetsov, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. ABSTRACT Telomere functions are tightly controlled throughout the cell cycle to allow telomerase access while suppressing a bona fide DNA damage response (DDR) at linear chromosome ends. However, the mechanisms that link cell cycle progression with telomere functions are largely unknown. Here we show that a key S-phase kinase, DDK (Dbf4-dependent protein kinase), phosphorylates the telomere binding protein Pot1, and that this phosphorylation is crucial for DNA damage checkpoint inactivation, the suppression of homologous recombination (HR) at telomeres, and the prevention of telomere loss. DDK phosphorylates Pot1 in a very conserved region of its most amino-terminal-proximal OB fold, suggesting that this regulation of telomere function may be widely conserved. Mutation of Pot1 phosphorylation sites leads to telomerase independent telomere maintenance through constant HR, as well as a dependence of telomere maintenance proteins involved in checkpoint activation and HR. These results uncover a novel and important link between DDR suppression and telomere maintenance. The failure in Pot1 phosphorylation and DDR inactivation could potentially lead to uncontrolled cell proliferation without a requirement for telomerase by switching cells to HR dependent telomere homeostasis. -

More recently, immunotherapy has been developed progression. However, MCM gene expression has not been and increasingly used in patients with lung cancer, including well-studied in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). In the present immune checkpoint inhibitors that target programmed cell study, the expression, prognostic value and functions of MCMs death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1)-expressing tumor cells by blocking in LUAD were investigated using several databases and PD-L1/PD-1 signaling (8,9). Despite recent advances in bioinformatic tools, including Oncomine, GEPIA, cBioPortal, targeted therapy and immunotherapy, the prognosis of LUAD CancerSEA and Kaplan-Meier plotter.

It has become a research trend to explore that the mRNA expression of MCM2, MCM4 and MCM10 novel molecular biomarkers or therapeutic targets in the era of were significantly increased in patients with LUAD.

In fact, databases based on large-scale, mRNA expression of MCM2-5, MCM8 and MCM10 were genome-wide association studies have facilitated the discovery associated with poor overall survival and progression-free of new biomarkers for cancer management (12). -

In eukaryotes, the replicative helicase is composed of the Cdc45 protein, the heterohexameric ring-shaped Mcm2-7 complex, and the tetrameric GINS complex (CMG). The CMG proteins bind directly to DNA, as demonstrated by experiments with purified proteins. The mechanism and function of these DNA-protein interactions are presently being investigated, and a number of important discoveries relating to how the helicase proteins interact with DNA have been reported recently. While some of the protein-DNA interactions directly relate to the unwinding function of the enzyme complex, other protein-DNA interactions may be important for minichromosome maintenance (MCM) loading, origin melting or replication stress. This review describes our current understanding of how the eukaryotic replicative helicase subunits interact with DNA structures in vitro, and proposed models for the in vivo functions of replicative helicase-DNA interactions are also described. -

However, in animal systems telomerase plays additional non-telomeric functional roles. We previously screened an Arabidopsis cDNA library for proteins that interact with the C-terminal extension (CTE) TERT domain and identified a nuclear- localized protein that contains an RNA recognition motif (RRM).

Knowledge of how they form and resolve, as well as their functional roles, is limited. Here, by pull-down assays followed by mass spectrometry, we identified 803 proteins that bind to RNA/DNA hybrids. Because these proteins were identified using in vitro assays, we confirmed that they bind to R-loops in vivo. They include proteins that are involved in a variety of functions, including most steps of RNA processing. The proteins are enriched for K homology (KH) and helicase domains. Among them, more than 300 proteins preferred binding to hybrids than double-stranded DNA. These proteins serve as starting points for mechanistic studies to elucidate what RNA/DNA hybrids regulate and how they are regulated. -
