摘要: SND1, a subunit of the miRNA regulatory complex RISC, has been implicated as an oncogene in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this study, we show that hepatocyte-specific SND1 transgenic mice (Alb/SND1 mice) develop spontaneous HCC with partial penetrance and exhibit more highly aggressive induced by chemical carcinogenesis. Livers from Alb/SND1 exhibited relative increase inflammatory markers spheroid-generating tumor-initiating cells (TIC). Mechanistic investigations defined roles for Akt NF-κB signaling pathways promoting TIC formation mice. human xenograft models subcutaneous or orthotopic HCC, administration selective inhibitor 3', 5'-deoxythymidine bisphosphate (pdTp), inhibited tumor without effects on body weight liver function. Our work establishes oncogenic role highlights pdTp candidate therapeutic lead to treat advanced HCC. Cancer Res; 77(12); 3306-16. ©2017 AACR.
