Oligo-fucoidan (OF), a sulfated polysaccharide extracted from brown seaweed, exhibits anti-inflammation and antitumor effects, however, knowledge concerning the detailed mechanism of oligo-fucoidan on liver cells is obscure. In this study, we investigate the effect of oligo-fucoidan in normal hepatocytes using transcriptomic analysis.

View SamplesHepatocellular carcinoma is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Many carcinogens induce inflammation and cirrhosis, and eventually develop into liver cancer. Fucoidan is sulfated polysaccharide that is mainly found in brown seaweeds. In this study, we investigated the effects and mechanisms of low molecular weight fucoidan (i.e. oligo-fucoidan) preventing hepatocarcinogenesis using HBx,Src, and HBx,Src,p53-/+ transgenic zebrafish liver cancer model.

View SamplesPrevious studies have identified liver cancer associated to NASH, diabetes, obesity, and some genetic risk factors. We want to investigate the synergism between diet and genetic risk factors in hepatocarcinogenesis using omics data of four background zebrafish in three types of diet. We found the fishes have more genetic risk factors at the same time, and have higher probability to accelerate cancer formation. Overfed and high fat diet will increase the chance. Moreover, the results showed metabolism and genetic information processing, including the pathways of fatty acid metabolism, steroid biosynthesis and ribosome biogenesis are highly affected in hepatocellular carcinoma.
