RNA extraction and quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) 6 8. SPP1-blocking peptide and SPP1-aptamer 6 9. Establishment of sorafenib- and lenvatinib-resistant cells 7 10. Mouse tumor models 7 11. RNA-sequencing data analysis 9 12. Immunohistochemical assessment of SPP1 expression in human HCC tissues 10 13. Fluorescence quantitative analysis for protein expression of integrins 11 14. Wound healing assay 11 15. Transwell assay 12 16. Co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) 12 17. Single-cell RNA-seq analysis 13 18. Patients and definition of clinical terms 14 19. Statistical analyses 15 Ⅲ. RESULTS 16 1. CAFs suppressed the sensitivity of HCC cells to sorafenib and lenvatinib 16 2. Identified genes specifically overexpressed in CAFs 18 3. SPP1 was overexpressed in HCC tissues from sorafenib non-responders 18 4. Selection of HCC cell lines for further functional study 19 5. CAFs were a major source of secretory SPP1 in the HCC TME 19 6. Blockade of CAF-derived SPP1 restored HCC cell sensitivity to sorafenib or lenvatinib 22 7. In vivo validation of the effect of blocking CAF-derived SPP1 on HCC resistance to TKIs 25 8. CAF-derived SPP1 bound to integrin complexes on the HCC cell surface 27 9. CAF-derived SPP1 activated the RAF/ERK/STAT3 and PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathways via PKCα phosphorylation in HCC cells 28 10. SPP1-related gene signatures indicated poor prognosis in patients with HCC 31 11. CAF-derived SPP1 promoted the EMT of HCC cells 32 12. EMT-related genes were specifically expressed in SPP1-positive fibroblasts 32 13. Plasma SPP1 level prior to sorafenib or lenvatinib treatment was an independent predictor of PFS or OS in patients with advanced HCC 34 Ⅳ. DISCUSSION 41 Ⅴ. REFERENCES 44 Chapter 2 50 Ⅰ.
