Novel driver gene FIRRM regulates the cell cycle for promoting tumor growth in hepatocellular carcinoma. (PubMed, J Gastroenterol)
FIRRM was identified as a novel driver gene in HCC, which accelerated tumor proliferation through PLK1-mediated mitotic progression and promotion of the G2/M transition. These findings suggest that FIRRM is a promising target for HCC therapy.

Synchronous Double Primary Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma: A Case Report. (PubMed, Surg Case Rep)
Accurate diagnoses and appropriate therapeutic strategies are essential for patients presenting with multiple liver tumors showing heterogeneous imaging features and elevated CA19-9 levels.

In silico and in vitro study of the proapoptotic, autophagic and antitumor effects of cirsimaritin and humulene in hepatocellular carcinoma. (PubMed, Cytotechnology)
Its protective antioxidant effects in normal cells and anticancer effect make it a promising candidate for preventing the progression of HCC. The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s10616-026-00963-3.

The potential role of serum miR-182-5p and miR-127-5p in diagnosis of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and its relationship with insulin resistance. (PubMed, Prz Gastroenterol)
Serum miR-182-5p and miR-127-5p levels as predictive biomarkers for MASLD were evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. miR-182-5p and miR-127-5p could serve as novel biomarkers for MASLD diagnosis and may offer a novel approach for the disease's therapy.

Chimeric antigen receptor T cell targeting CD44E variant in HCC holds therapeutic potential. (PubMed, Mol Ther Oncol)
These anti-CD44E CAR T cells exhibited specific cytotoxicity against CD44-positive HCC cells in both in vitro and in vivo models and importantly, did not induce detectable toxicity in vital organs in animal models. Our findings suggested that CD44E-targeting CAR T cell therapy might represent a promising therapeutic approach for HCC treatment.

Exosome-mediated miR-4660 delivery inhibits OPN promoted hepatoma cells aggression through targeting LGALS3BP. (PubMed, J Cell Commun Signal)
These findings suggest that the downregulation of miR-4660 in SMMC-OPN exosomes contributes to the enhanced metastatic potential of HCC through modulating LGALS3BP. Furthermore, miR-4660 delivery via exosomes inhibits OPN-promoted hepatoma cell aggression by targeting LGALS3BP, highlighting a potential therapeutic target against cancer metastasis.
