NSUN5 Facilitates Hepatocellular Carcinoma Progression by Increasing SMAD3 Expression.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is characterized by frequent intrahepatic and distant metastases, resulting in a poor prognosis for patients. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays a pivotal role in this process. However, the expression of NOP2/Sun RNA methyltransferase 5 (NSUN5) in HCC and its role in mediating EMT remain poorly understood.

RBM12 drives PD-L1-mediated immune evasion in hepatocellular carcinoma by increasing JAK1 mRNA translation.

Immunosuppression characterizes the tumour microenvironment in HCC, and recent studies have implicated RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) in the development of HCC. Here, we conducted a screen and identified RBM12 as a key protein that increased the expression of PD-L1, thereby driving immune evasion in HCC. Furthermore, RBM12 was found to be significantly upregulated in HCC tissues and was associated with a poor prognosis for HCC patients.

RNA-binding motif protein 28 enhances angiogenesis by improving STAT3 translation in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a prevalent malignant tumor characterized by extensive angiogenesis. However, the underlying mechanisms of HCC pathogenesis remain unclear. Previous studies have shown that RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are implicated in HCC pathogenesis.

NAT10 Promotes Malignant Progression of Lung Cancer via the NF-κB Signaling Pathway.

Background: NAT10 (N-acetyltransferase 10) is a newly identified novel acetyltransferase. Abnormal expression of NAT10 is associated with several human disorders, including cancer, autoimmune diseases, and cardiovascular disease. This study aimed to investigate the role of NAT10 in promoting lung cancer malignant progression through the NF-κB (nuclear factor κB) signaling pathway.

PIK3R6 Promotes Angiogenesis in Hepatocellular carcinoma by Activating STAT3 Signaling Pathway.

Objective: Abundant angiogenesis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is critical in its malignant course; however, its mechanism is incompletely understood. Meanwhile, the corresponding roles of PIK3R6 molecules in HCC have not been investigated. This study aims to explore the intrinsic mechanism of PIK3R6 and provide theoretical reference for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.

RNA-binding motif 4 promotes angiogenesis in HCC by selectively activating VEGF-A expression.

Increased angiogenesis in the liver plays a critical role in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the molecular mechanism underlying increased angiogenesis in HCC is not well understood. Current study was designed to identify the potential angiogenic effect of RNA-binding motif 4 (RBM4)through a small-scale overexpression screening, followed by comparison of the expression level of RBM4 in cancer and adjacent tissues in multiple malignancies to explore the relationship between RBM4 and CD31 protein expression level and related clinical indicators, and understand the role of RBM4 in the hepatocellular carcinoma.

DNAAF5 promotes hepatocellular carcinoma malignant progression by recruiting USP39 to improve PFKL protein stability.

Purposes: Dynein axonemal assembly factor 5 (DNAAF5) is the transcription factor of regulating the cytoskeleton and hydrodynamic protein complex assembly, however, it was not well elucidated in the malignant progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Methods: We investigated the role of DNAAF5 in hepatocellular carcinoma by using multiple groups of clinical tissues combined with data from the TCGA database. Then we overexpressed DNAAF5 in hepatocellular carcinoma tumor tissues, which correlates with poor patient survival outcomes.

N4BP3 promotes angiogenesis in hepatocellular carcinoma by binding with KAT2B.

Although angiogenesis is a critical event in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and this process provides the tumor with sufficient oxygen and nutrients, the precise molecular mechanism by which it occurs is not fully understood. NEDD4 binding protein 3 (N4BP3) was identified in this study as a novel pro-angiogenic factor in HCC cell lines and tissues. We discovered that N4BP3 was significantly expressed in HCC and that its level of expression was positively correlated with the density of tumor microvessels in HCC tissues.

RBM23 Drives Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Activating NF-B Signaling Pathway.

Purpose: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, and angiogenesis has been proven to be significantly involved in its progression. However, the molecular mechanism underlying HCC angiogenesis has not been well researched. In this study, RNA Binding Motif Protein 23 (RBM23) was identified as a novel proangiogenic factor in HCC cell lines and tissues.
