Macrophage metalloelastase, a member of the human matrix metalloproteinase family, is believed to play an important role in angiostatin generation, which, in experimental studies, has an antiangiogenic function and is a key molecule in tumor dormancy. However, no clinical studies have been reported

## Abstract Ezrin is known to regulate cellular survival, adhesion, migration, and invasion and has been identified as one of the key components of tumor progression and metastasis. The authors investigated ezrin expression in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and sought to determine its relatio
## Abstract __KiSSβ1__ has been identified as a putative metastasisβsuppressor gene in human melanomas and breast cancer cell lines. Although loss of __KiSSβ1__ expression has been associated with progression and poor prognosis of various cancers, the exact role of __KiSSβ1__ expression in HCC is n
For an approach of gene therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), transcriptional regulatory sequence (TRS) of either alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) or albumin has been used for targeting cancer cells. To examine the feasibility of using TRSs of these genes for possible gene therapy of HCCs, the cellular
## Abstract The expression of nine oncogenes (cβmyc, Nβmyc, Nβras, Hβras, kβras, abl, fos, src, and raf) and two tumor suppressor genes (p53 and RB) were studied by northern blot hybridization in six human hepatocellular carcinoma or hepatoblastoma cell lines (PLC/PRF/5, HepSB, Hep G2, 2.2.15, HLE,
