Abstract
Loss of P27 expression correlates with clinical progression in a variety of human cancers. However, the correlation between P27 expression and gastric cancer remains controversial. In this meta-analysis, we performed an electronic search based on six databases to select a sufficient number of studies. Pooled hazard ratio (HR) was used as estimates to investigate the association between P27 expression and prognosis of patients with gastric cancer. We identified 19 studies with 2387 gastric cancer patients, ranging between 50 and 316 samples per study. Q and I2 tests demonstrated that the homogeneity among 19 studies (I2 = 47%, P = 0.0004), thus we applied a fixed-effects model to calculate the pooled HR of P27expression and overall survival (OS) of gastric cancer patients was 0.68, and 95% confidence interval (CI) was 0.60-0.78. Next, we conducted a subgroup meta-analysis and found that patients with low P27 expression in Asians (HR = 0.69, 95% CI: 0.58-0.82) and non-Asians (HR = 0.57, 95% CI: 0.41-0.79) had poor prognosis. In addition, we found the publication bias results of OS in the final included 19 studies showed that this funnel plot presented incomplete symmetry, and then removed three literatures with larger HRs bias, and found that the remaining 16 literatures were homogeneity (I2 = 0%, P = 0.47), the pooled HR was 0.52 with 95% CI of 0.43-0.62, and the publication bias disappeared. These results suggested a strong association between P27 underexpression and poorer prognosis of gastric cancer in patients. P27 may be a tumor suppressor for predicting survival outcome of gastric cancer patients.

Abstract
Sebaceous gland carcinoma (SGC) of the eyelid is an uncommon aggressive tumor with a relatively high rate of local recurrence and a poor prognosis following metastasis. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of SGC remain unclear. The purpose of the present study was to clarify microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles in SGC and to explore novel miRNA-mRNA networks of SGC. A small RNA-sequencing analysis was performed to identify miRNAs differentially expressed between SGC and sebaceous adenoma control samples. Bioinformatics analyses were conducted to reveal biological functions, canonical pathways and molecular interaction networks using integrated miRNA-mRNA datasets, including mRNA expression profiles of SGC from our previous study. The present results demonstrated that 16 upregulated miRNAs and 516 downregulated mRNAs were associated with loss of lipid metabolism function and enriched in cholesterol biosynthesis pathways. By contrast, 29 downregulated miRNAs and 194 upregulated mRNAs were mainly associated with the promotion of cell survival and proliferation in addition to enrichment of DNA damage-induced cell cycle-regulation pathways. Furthermore, network analyses revealed that the upregulated miRNAs, miR-130a-3p and miR-939-5p, and the downregulated miRNAs, miR-146a-5p, miR-149-3p, miR-193a-3p, miR-195-5p and miR-4671-3p, could be upstream regulators related to these functional changes of SGC. These results improved the understanding of molecular mechanisms of SGC and may help to improve the diagnosis of SGC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES P27kip is a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor that has gained importance as a biomarker in human malignant tumors. However, the potential role of P27kip in hepatocellular carcinoma remains unclear. The aim of this meta-analysis was to explore whether P27kip acts as prognostic and clinicopathological roles in hepatocellular carcinoma patients. METHODS/MATERIALS An electronic search based on three databases, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science, was performed to select a sufficient number of studies. Pooled hazard ratio (HR) and odds ratio (OR) were used as estimates to investigate the association among P27kip expression, prognosis and clinicopathological features. RESULTS In total, we identified 18 studies with 1774 hepatocellular carcinoma patients. The result derived from four studies revealed a significant positive association between lower P27kip levels and shorter overall survival (HR = 0.550, 95% CI: 0.464-0.652, P < 0001) and disease-free survival (HR = 0.420, 95% CI: 0.308-0.571, P < 0.0001). Analyses of the clinicopathological features and P27kip expression also showed that a positive rate of P27kip was significantly lower in a larger sized tumor (OR = 0.538, 95% CI: 0.315-0.919, P = 0.023). The results also revealed that lower P27kip levels were correlated with poorer differentiation (0.416, 95% CI: 0.178-0.971, P = 0.043). Additionally, the pooled OR of 0.389 also presented a significant correlation between P27kip underexpression and the metastasis of HCCs (95% CI: 0.155-0.975, P = 0.044). CONCLUSIONS This analysis suggests a strong association among P27kip underexpression, poorer prognosis and aggressive progression of hepatocellular carcinoma in patients. P27kip may be a tumor suppressor for predicting the progression and survival outcome in patients with hepatocellular carcinomas.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the role of high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection in periocular sebaceous carcinoma (SC) using multiple methods of detection, and to determine whether p16 overexpression is present and can be used as a surrogate marker for HR-HPV. DESIGN Retrospective observational case series with laboratory investigations. METHODS Unstained paraffin sections of 35 cases of periocular SC were analyzed with immunohistochemistry for p16 and subjected to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for HR-HPV. A subset of 18 lesions that were p16-positive was further studied with a novel method of mRNA in situ hybridization (ISH) for the detection of transcriptionally active HR-HPV, an advanced technique with an enhanced sensitivity and specificity. RESULTS The clinical findings were in keeping with those of comparable earlier studies. Strong immunohistochemical p16 positivity (meeting the criterion of >70% nuclear and cytoplasmic staining) was present in 29 of 35 cases of periocular SC (82.9%). The selected 18 p16-positive cases tested were negative for HR-HPV using mRNA ISH. PCR yielded unequivocal results with adequate DNA isolated in 24 cases, 23 of which were negative for HR-HPV. One case was positive for HPV type 16, which was found to be a false positive as collaterally determined by mRNA ISH negativity. CONCLUSION No evidence was found for HR-HPV as an etiologic agent in the development of periocular SC using multiple modalities to maximize sensitivity and specificity and reduce the limitations of any single test. p16 overexpression is common in periocular SC but unrelated to HR-HPV status. Although p16 may be used as a surrogate marker for HR-HPV status in other tissue sites, this interpretation of p16 positivity is not applicable to periocular SC.

Abstract
Sebaceous neoplasms encompass a range of lesions, including benign entities such as sebaceous adenoma and sebaceoma, as well as sebaceous carcinoma. The distinction of sebaceous carcinoma from benign lesions relies on histological identification of architectural or cytological features of malignancy. In this study we have assessed the diagnostic discriminatory ability of mitotic rate and immunohistochemical markers (p53, bcl-2 and p16) in a selected group of well circumscribed sebaceous neoplasms, incorporating examples of sebaceous adenoma, sebaceoma and sebaceous carcinoma. We found that mitotic rate was significantly higher in malignant lesions as compared to benign lesions, but none of the immunohistochemical markers showed a discriminatory expression pattern. In addition, we performed a mutational analysis on the same group of lesions using next generation sequencing (NGS) technology. The most commonly mutated gene was TP53, although there was no correlation between the p53 immunohistochemical results and number or type of TP53 mutation detected. CDKN2A, EGFR, CTNNB1 and KRAS were also commonly mutated across all lesions. No particular gene, mutation profile or individual mutation could be identified which directly correlated with the consensus histological diagnosis. In conclusion, within this diagnostically challenging group of lesions, mitotic activity, but not immunohistochemical labelling for p16 or bcl-2, correlates with diagnostic category. While a number of genes potentially involved in the genesis of sebaceous neoplasia were uncovered, any molecular differences between the histological diagnostic categories remain unclear.

Abstract
PURPOSE Identifying intraepithelial sebaceous carcinoma cells in small periocular biopsies can be difficult, particularly in the conjunctiva. The goal of this study was to evaluate p53 and p16 immunohistochemistry as potential markers of intraepithelial sebaceous carcinoma. PROCEDURES A total of 25 tumors, including 4 recurrent lesions, were stained for p16 and p53, with intensity scored as negative, weak, moderate or strong. RESULTS Expression of p16 was detected in intraepithelial sebaceous carcinoma cells in 24 of the 25 cases (96%), with only 1 case showing weak immunoreactivity. Intraepithelial p53 immunoreactivity was present in 17 of 25 tumors (68%), but was weak in 3 cases. Expression levels remained relatively stable in primary and recurrent tumors, but varied in a few cases between intraepithelial and subepithelial sites. CONCLUSIONS Intraepithelial sebaceous carcinomas stained for p53 and p16 demonstrated moderate to strong immunoreactivity in 100% of cases for at least one of these proteins, suggesting that together they are useful markers for determining the extent of tumor spread. Of the two, p16 was immunoreactive in more cases than p53.

Abstract
SKI-II has been reported as an inhibitor of sphingosine kinase 1 and has been extensively used to prove the involvement of sphingosine kinase and sphingosine-1-phosphate (Sphk1) in cellular processes. In the current study, we investigated the effects of SKI-II and its potential mechanisms in human gastric cancer SGC7901 cells. After treatment with SKI-II, cell growth, cell cycle distribution, apoptosis, expression of Sphk1, NF-κB, Bcl-2, Bax and p27 were assessed by MTT assay, flow cytometry, electron microscopy, immunocytochemistry and Western-blot assay, respectively. Our results showed that SKI-II markedly inhibited SGC7901 cell survival in a dose-dependent manner, reduced cell proliferation with accumulation of cells in the G0/G1 phase and induced apoptosis in the tumor cells. Furthermore, Western blotting and immunocytochemistry showed that the expression of p27 and Bax was increased significantly, but the expression of NF-κB, Bcl-2 and Sphk1 decreased by different degrees. These results indicate that SKI-II induced cell growth arrest and apoptosis. The increased apoptotic sensitivity of SGC7901 was correlated with NF-κB or Bcl-2/Bax activation.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for over 90% of all primary liver cancers. With an ever increasing incidence trend year by year, it has become the third most common cause of death from cancer worldwide. Hepatic resection is generally considered to be one of the most effective therapies for HCC patients, however, there is a high risk of recurrence in postoperative HCC. In clinical practice, there exists an urgent need for valid prognostic markers to identify patients with prognosis, hence the importance of studies on prognostic markers in improving the prediction of HCC prognosis. This review focuses on the most promising immunohistochemical prognostic markers in predicting the postoperative survival of HCC patients.
