Journal ArticleDOI
EpCAM-positive hepatocellular carcinoma cells are tumor initiating cells with stem/progenitor cell features
Taro Yamashita,Junfang Ji,Anuradha Budhu,Marshonna Forgues,Wen Yang,Hongyang Wang,Hu-Liang Jia,Qing-Hai Ye,Lun Xiu Qin,Elaine Wauthier,Lola M. Reid,Hiroshi Minato,Masao Honda,Shuichi Kaneko,Zhao-You Tang,Xin Wei Wang +15 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that HCC growth and invasiveness is dictated by a subset of EpCAM(+) cells, opening a new avenue for HCC cancer cell eradication by targeting Wnt/beta-catenin signaling components such as EpC AM.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biliary papillary tumors share pathological features with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas
Yoh Zen,Takahiko Fujii,Keita Itatsu,Koichi Nakamura,Hiroshi Minato,Satomi Kasashima,Hiroshi Kurumaya,Kazuyoshi Katayanagi,Atsuhiro Kawashima,Shinji Masuda,Hideki Niwa,Takeshi Mitsui,Yasuyuki Asada,Shouji Miura,Tetsuo Ohta,Yasuni Nakanuma +15 more
TL;DR: Biliary papillary tumors may be the biliary counterpart (intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct) of IPMN‐P.
Journal ArticleDOI
IgG4-positive plasma cells in inflammatory pseudotumor (plasma cell granuloma) of the lung
Yoh Zen,Satoshi Kitagawa,Hiroshi Minato,Hiroshi Kurumaya,Kazuyoshi Katayanagi,Shinji Masuda,Hideki Niwa,Masaki Fujimura,Yasuni Nakanuma +8 more
TL;DR: The clinicopathologic similarities between IPT of the lung and sclerosing pancreatitis suggest that IgG4-related immunopathologic processes might be involved in the pathogenesis of the pulmonary lesions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biliary cystic tumors with bile duct communication: a cystic variant of intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct.
Yoh Zen,Takahiko Fujii,Keita Itatsu,Koichi Nakamura,Fumio Konishi,Shinji Masuda,Takeshi Mitsui,Yasuyuki Asada,Shouji Miura,Shiro Miyayama,Takeshi Uehara,Tsutomu Katsuyama,Tetsuo Ohta,Hiroshi Minato,Yasuni Nakanuma +14 more
TL;DR: Clinopathological features of biliary cystic tumors with bile duct communication could be regarded as intraductal papillary neoplasm with a prominent cystic dilatation of the biliary duct and mucin retention, rather than true biliary Cystic neoplasms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activation of lipogenic pathway correlates with cell proliferation and poor prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma
Taro Yamashita,Masao Honda,Masao Honda,Hajime Takatori,Ryuhei Nishino,Hiroshi Minato,Hiroyuki Takamura,Tetsuo Ohta,Shuichi Kaneko +8 more
TL;DR: The lipogenic pathway regulated by sterol regulatory element binding factor 1 (SREBF1) was activated in HCC and contributes to cell proliferation and prognosis and was validated by real-time RT-PCR.
