Methods: So far, serum samples of 8 healthy controls, 23 nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) patients and 18 HCC patients have been analyzed regarding the levels of up to 48 cytokines with the Luminex immunoassay technology (Bio-Plex 2200, Bio-Rad). The effect of four cytokines: Hyper-IL-6 (H-IL-6), OSM, IFN-γ, and IL-27 on the miRNome and on the transcriptome of nine healthy and cancerous cell lines derived from human liver, colon and skin cells (PH5CH8, Hep3B, Huh-7; NCM460, HCT15, HCT116; NHEM, A375, MelJuso) has been analyzed by microarray (Affymetrix GeneChip miRNA Array 3.0, Human Transcriptome Array 2.0) and validated by qPCR.Results: In a first step, we analyzed and correlated the expression levels of inflammatory cytokines in HCC and NASH patients, being at high risk to develop HCC. Herein, serum levels of IL-6 and of HGF were higher in HCC patients than in healthy controls and in advanced NASH patients, as confirmed by Bio-Plex cytokine immunoassays. Next, we wanted to study a possible correlation between cytokine levels and the presence of the PNPLA3 p. 148 M risk variant in patients with NASH, thereby contributing to biomarker research in liver diseases.
