| 2 | Correlation between expression of cyclooxygenase-2 and the presence of inflammatory cells in human primary hepatocellular carcinoma: Possible role in tumor promotion and angiogenesis显示文摘AIM: To investigate the association of cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2) expression with angiogenesis and the number and type of inflammatory cells (macrophages/Kupffer cells;mast cells) within primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)tissues and adjacent non-tumorous (MT) tissues.METHODS: Immunohistochemistry for COX-2, CD34,CD68 and mast cell tryptase (MCT) was performed on 14 well-characterized series of liver-cirrhosis-associated HCC patients. COX-2 expression and the number of inflammatory cells in tumor lesions and surrounding liver tissues of each specimen were compared. Moreover,COX-2, CD34 staining and the number of inflammatory cells in areas with different histological degrees within each tumor sample were comparatively analyzed.RESULTS: The percentage of COX-2 positive cells was significantly higher in NT tissues than in tumors. COX-2 expression was higher in well-differentiated HCC than in poorly-differentiated tissues. Few mast cells were observed within the tumor mass, whereas a higher number was observed in the surrounding tissue, especially in peri-portal spaces of NT tissues. Abundant macrophages/Kupffer cells were observed in NT tissues, whereas the number of cells was significantly lower in the tumor mass.However, a higher cell number was observed in the well-differentiated tumor and progressively decreased in relation to the differentiation grade. Within the tumor, a positive correlation was found between COX-2 expression and the number of macrophages/Kupffer cells and mast cells. Moreover, there was a positive correlation between CD34 and COX-2 expression in tumor tissues. Comparison between well- and poorly-differentiated HCC showed that the number of CD34-positive cells decreased with dedifferentiation. However, COX-2 was the only independent variable showing a positive correlation with CD34 in a multivariate analysis.CONCLUSION: The presence of inflammatory cells and COX-2 expression in liver tumor suggests a possible relationship with tumor angiogenesis. COX-2 expressing cells and the number of macrophages/Kupffer cells and mast cells decrease with progression of the disease. | Melchiorre Cervello Daniela Foderà Ada Maria Florena Maurizio Soresi Claudio Tripodo Natale D'Alessandro Giuseppe Montalto | 2005 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2005,11,30: | 21 |
| 3 | Genetic association of interleukin-6 polymorphism (-174 G/C) with chronic liver diseases and hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a pleiotropic cytokine which is expressed in many inflammatory cells in response to different types of stimuli, regulating a number of biological processes. The IL-6 gene is polymorphic in both the 5' and 3' flanking regions and more than 150 single nucleotide polymorphisms have been identified so far. Genetic polymorphisms of IL-6 may affect the outcomes of several diseases, where the presence of high levels of circulating IL-6 have been correlated to the stage and/or the progression of the disease itself. The -174 G/C polymorphism is a frequent polymorphism, that is located in the upstream regulatory region of the IL-6 gene and affects IL-6 production. However, the data in the literature on the genetic association between the -174 G/C polymorphism and some specific liver diseases characterized by different etiologies are still controversial. In particular, most of the studies are quite unanimous in describing a correlation between the presence of the high-producer genotype and a worse evolution of the chronic liver disease. This is valid for patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related chronic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis and hepatocellu-lar carcinoma (HCC) whatever the etiology. Studies in hepatitis B virus-related chronic liver diseases are not conclusive, while specific populations like non alcoholic fatty liver disease/non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, autoimmune and human immunodeficiency virus/HCV coinfected patients show a higher prevalence of the lowproducer genotype, probably due to the complexity of these clinical pictures. In this direction, a systematic revision of these data should shed more light on the role of this polymorphism in chronic liver diseases and HCC. | Lydia Giannitrapani Maurizio Soresi Daniele Balasus Anna Licata Giuseppe Montalto | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,16: | 19 |

| 5 | Non invasive tools for the diagnosis of liver cirrhosis显示文摘Liver cirrhosis(LC),the end stage of many forms of chronic hepatitis of different etiologies is a diffuse process characterized by fibrosis and the conversion of normal liver architecture into structurally abnormal nodules surrounded by annular fibrosis.This chronic progressive clinical condition,leads to liver cell failure and portal hypertension,which can favour the onset of hepatocellular carcinoma.Defining the phase of the natural history is crucial for therapeutic choice and prognosis.Liver biopsy is currently considered the best available standard of reference but it has some limits,so alternative tools have been developed to substitute liver biopsy when assessing liver fibrosis.Serum markers offer a cost-effective alternative to liver biopsy being less invasive and theoretically without complications.They can be classified into direct and indirect markers which may be used alone or in combination to produce composite scores.Diagnostic imaging includes a number of instruments and techniques to estimate liver fibrosis and cirrhosis like ultrasound(US),US Doppler,contrast enhanced US andElastography.US could be used for the diagnosis of advanced LC while is not able to evaluate progression of fibrosis,in this case Elastography is more reliable.This review aims to revise the most recent data from the literature about non invasive methods useful in defining liver fibrosis. | Maurizio Soresi Lydia Giannitrapani Melchiorre Cervello Anna Licata Giuseppe Montalto | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,48: | 15 |
| 6 | Nanotechnology applications for the therapy of liver fibrosis显示文摘Chronic liver diseases represent a major global health problem both for their high prevalence worldwide and,in the more advanced stages,for the limited available curative treatment options.In fact,when lesions of different etiologies chronically affect the liver,triggering the fibrogenesis mechanisms,damage has already occurred and the progression of fibrosis will have a major clinical impact entailing severe complications,expensive treatments and death in end-stage liver disease.Despite significant advances in the understanding of the mechanisms of liver fibrinogenesis,the drugs used in liver fibrosis treatment still have a limited therapeutic effect.Many drugs showing potent antifibrotic activities in vitro often exhibit only minor effects in vivo because insufficient concentrations accumulate around the target cell and adverse effects result as other non-target cells are affected.Hepatic stellate cells play a critical role in liver fibrogenesis,thus they are the target cells of antifibrotic therapy.The application of nanoparticles has emerged as a rapidly evolving area for the safe delivery of various therapeutic agents(including drugs and nucleic acid)in the treatment of various pathologies,including liver disease.In this review,we give an overview of the various nanotechnology approaches used in the treatment of liver fibrosis. | Lydia Giannitrapani Maurizio Soresi Maria Luisa Bondì Giuseppe Montalto Melchiorre Cervello | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,23: | 9 |
| 7 | Transient elastography: A non-invasive tool for assessing liver fibrosis in HIV/HCV patients显示文摘AIM: To assess the prevalence of advanced liver fibrosis (ALF) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and HIV/HCV patients using transient elastography, and to identify factors associated with ALF. METHODS: Between September 2008 and October 2009, 71 HIV mono-infected, 57 HIV/HCV co-infected and 53 HCV mono-infected patients on regular follow-up at our Center were enrolled in this study. Alcohol intake, the main parameters of liver function, presence of HCV-RNA, HIV-RNA, duration of highly active anti-retroviraltherapy (HAART) and CD4 cell count were recorded. ALF was defined as liver stiffness (LS) ≥ 9.5 kPa. To estimate liver fibrosis (LF) a further 2 reliable biochemical scores, aspartate aminotransferase platelet ratio index (APRI) and FIB-4, were also used. RESULTS: LS values of co-infected patients were higher than in either HIV or HCV mono-infected patients (χ 2M H = 4, P < 0.04). In fact, LS ≥ 9.5 was significantly higher in co-infected than in HIV and HCV mono-infected pa-tients (χ 2 = 5, P < 0.03). Also APRI and the FIB-4 index showed more LF in co-infected than in HIV mono-infect-ed patients (P < 0.0001), but not in HCV mono-infected patients. In HIV?HCV co-infected patients, the extent of LS was significantly associated with alcohol intake (P < 0.04) and lower CD4+ cell count (P < 0.02). In HCV pa-tients, LS was correlated with alcohol intake (P < 0.001) and cholesterol levels (P < 0.03). Body mass index, dia-betes, HCV-and HIV-viremia were not significantly cor-related with LS. In addition, 20% of co-infected patients had virologically unsuccessful HAART; in 50% compliance was low, CD4+ levels were < 400 cells/mm 3 and LS was > 9.5 kPa. There was no significant correlation between extent of LF and HAART exposure or duration of HAART exposure, in particular with specific dideoxynucleoside analogues. CONCLUSION: ALF was more frequent in co-infected than mono-infected patients. This result correlated with lower CD4 levels. Protective immunological effects of HAART on LF progression outweigh its hepatotoxic effects. | Valentina Li Vecchi Maurizio Soresi Claudia Colomba Giovanni Mazzola Pietro Colletti Maurizio Mineo Paola Di Carlo Emanuele La Spada Giovanni Vizzini Giuseppe Montalto | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,41: | 4 |
