Chuan‐chuan Zhou, Fu Yang, Sheng‐xian Yuan, Jin‐zhao Ma, Feng Liu, Ji‐hang Yuan, Feng‐rui Bi, Kong‐ying Lin, Jian‐hua Yin, Guang‐wen Cao, Wei‐ping Zhou, Fang Wang, Shu‐han Sun – 13 December 2015 – Systemic analyses using large‐scale genomic profiles have successfully identified cancer‐driving somatic copy number variations (SCNVs) loci. However, functions of vast focal SCNVs in “protein‐coding gene desert” regions are largely unknown.

To date, these two approaches have never been compared.

Han‐Yue OuYang, Jing Xu, Jun Luo, Ru‐Hai Zou, Keng Chen, Yong Le, Yong‐Fa Zhang, Wei Wei, Rong‐Ping Guo, Ming Shi – 13 December 2015 – Although many staging classifications have been proposed for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), determining a patient's prognosis in clinical practice is a challenge due to the molecular diversity of HCC. We investigated the relationship between MEP1A, a candidate oncogene, and clinical outcomes of HCC patients; furthermore, we explored the role of MEP1A in HCC.

Yonglong Zhang, Yanfeng Liu, Jinlin Duan, Haibo Yan, Jun Zhang, Huilu Zhang, Qi Fan, Feifei Luo, Guoquan Yan, Ke Qiao, Jie Liu – 13 December 2015 – Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of cancer‐related death. However, the underlying mechanism during hepatocarcinogenesis remains unclarified. Stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) is a powerful quantitative strategy for proteome‐wide discovery of novel biomarkers in cancers. Hippocalcin‐like 1 (HPCAL1) is a calcium sensor protein.
