Objective: To explore the eff ect of Fasudil on the invasion and metastatic abilities of human high metastatic liver cancer cells (HCCLM3) and the underlying mechanisms. Methods: HCCLM3 cells were incubated with 100 μmol/L Fasudil. Fluorescence staining forF-actin and Transwell assay were performed to observe the invasion ability of HCCLM3 cells. HCCLM3 cells were divided into 3 groups: a negative control group, a Fasudil group and a BTB/POZ domain containing 7 (BTBD7)-siRNA group. Western blot assay was performed to detect the expression levels of BTBD7, ras homolog family member C (RhoC) and Rho-associated, coiled-coil containing protein kinase 2 (ROCK2), matrix metalloproteinases 2 (MMP2) and MMP9. Zymogram analysis method was performed to detect the expression activities of MMP2 and MMP9. hTe BTBD7-siRNA group was served as a positive control. Results: In HCCLM3 cells treated with Fasudil, the invasion ability was significant decreased compared with the control group, concomitant with the down-regulated expression levels of BTBD7, RhoC and ROCK2 protein as well as the decreased activities of MMP2 and MMP9. Conclusion: Fasudil plays an important role in interfering BTBD7-ROCK2 signaling pathway and suppressing the invasion and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Ovarian cancer is one of the highest mortality rate of gynecologic malignant tumors. Chemotherapy can improve the survival rate of the traditional ovary. In recent years, PARP [poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase]inhibitors in breast cancer susceptibility gene (breast cancer susceptibility gene, BRCA) mutations in patients with ovarian cancer can significantly improve the disease-free survival, may change the prognosis of patients with ovarian cancer. This part of PARP [poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase] inhibitors, inhibiting the repairment of DNA damage in tumor cell, causing DNA damage accumulation, eventually killing tumor cells.In breast cancer susceptibility gene 1 (breast cancer susceptibility gene1, BRCA1)/BRCA2 mutation patients with ovarian cancer, PARP inhibitors and BRCA mutation of the synthetic lethal effect provides a new direction for the development of anti-cancer drugs. Now, many highly selective and sensitive PARP inhibitors have been developed and applied in clinical trials.Although PARP inhibitor monotherapy can produce a therapeutic effect in BRCA mutation in patients with ovarian cancer, but the clinical application is still used in combination with other chemotherapy or radiotherapy. This review is focused on the recent progress in clinical trials of PARP inhibitors in combination with common chemotherapeutic agents.

Objective To investigate the expression of Semaphorin 3F (SEMA3F) protein in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and to demonstrate its relationship with clinicopathological features and prognosis of HCC. Methods Western Blotting was carried out in 32 hepatocellular carcinoma samples and matched perineoplastic tissues to detect the expression of SEMA3F protein. The relationship between SEMA3F protein expression and clinicopathological features as well as prognosis of HCC patients was analyzed. Immunohistochemistry was used to show the location of SEMA3F in HCC cells and its relationship with microvessel density (MVD). Results The expression of SEMA3F protein in HCC tissues was significantly higher than in the perineoplastic tissues (447.78± 48.26 vs 618.93 ±61.23, P<0. 05) and it was correlated closely with tumor capsulation and tumor nodular number (P<0.05). Based on the Western Blotting and clinical follow-up data, we found that the survival time of HCC patients with a higher SEMA3F expression level was longer than those with a lower level, and the recurrent/metastatic time of HCC patients was significantly different between these two groups (P<0.01). Immunohistochemistry demonstrated that SEMA3F protein localized in the cytoplasm of HCC cells and its expression correlated with HCC MVD. MVD in the low-level group was higher than the high-level group (115.6±30.38 vs 86. 56±17.94, P<0.01). Conclusions SEMA3F expression in HCC was significantly down-regulated and correlated closely with tumor-capsulation, nodular number, and MVD, implicating SEMA3F may play an important role in recurrence and metastasis of HCC. It can be regarded as a prognostic marker in HCC patients.
