Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most prevalent and aggressive forms of liver cancer, with high morbidity and poor prognosis due to late diagnosis and limited treatment options. Despite advances in understanding its molecular mechanisms, effective biomarkers for early detection and targeted therapy remain scarce. Zinc finger protein 71 (ZNF71), a zinc-finger protein, has been implicated in various cancers, yet its role in HCC remains largely unexplored.

  • The study investigates the role of claudin 8 (CLDN8) in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) to determine its expression levels and possible mechanisms.
  • Researchers analyzed a variety of datasets and conducted experiments involving tissue samples, which revealed that lower levels of CLDN8 are associated with poorer survival rates in KIRC patients.
  • The findings suggest that CLDN8 acts as a potential tumor suppressor in KIRC, where its downregulation may enhance cancer cell proliferation and impact key metabolic pathways.

Background: Although it has been shown that cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (CDKN2A) plays a significant role in a number of malignancies, its clinicopathological value and function in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is unclear and warrants additional research.

Methods: The clinical significance of CDKN2A expression in SCLC was examined by multiple methods, including comprehensive integration of mRNA level by high throughput data, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis for prognostic value, and validation of its protein expression using in-house immunohistochemistry.

Results: The expression of CDKN2A mRNA in 357 cases of SCLC was evidently higher than that in the control group (n = 525) combing the data from 20 research centers worldwide.

Despite great advance has been made in multi-modality treatments for HCC patients, the effectiveness is far from satisfactory with worse survival outcome, which may be partly explainable by the anti-tumor deficiency of the immune system. It is necessary to clarify the molecular mechanism of HCC immunodeficiency. Here, we demonstrated that carbohydrate sulfotransferase 11 (CHST11) was upregulated in HCC and related to advanced TNM stage.
