    Article Title: Heparanase and MMP-9 synergistically induce endothelial-mesenchymal transition in portal vein microvessels to promote hepatocellular carcinoma metastasis.
    Article Snippet: Background: Both heparanase (HPSE) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) can promote metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but it is not clear whether they co-induce endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndoMT) in portal vein endothelial cells (PVECs) to facilitate HCC metastasis.. This study aimed to investigate the combined effect of HPSE and MMP-9 on EndoMT in PVECs and subsequent intrahepatic metastasis of HCC and to explore the underlying mechanism.. Methods: This study employed gene knockdown, gene overexpression and inhibitor strategies to manipulate HPSE/MMP-9 expression or activity within HCC cells, which were non-contact co-cultured with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs).

( B , C ) Western blotting showed protein level of AZGP1 in the healthy controls, the TGFβ1, and the TGFβ1 + rAZGP1 groups in ARPE-19 cells ( N = 3 to 4). ( D – G ) Immunofluorescence staining showed reduced expression of α-SMA ( green ) with rAZGP1 treatment in ARPE-19 cells ( D , E ) and primary mouse RPE cells ( F , G ). Scale bar = 50 µm, N = 3.
