Purpose: This study aimed to explore the regulatory effect of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) ribonuclease mitochondrial RNA processing gene (RMRP) on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Methods: The expression of RMRP in HCC tissues and cell lines was assessed by qRT-PCR. Kaplan-Meier method was utilized to analyze the correlation between RMRP expression and the survival of HCC patients. MHCC97H and HuH7 cells were transfected with pcDNA3.1-RMRP or pcDNA3.1, respectively. MTT and flow cytometry assays were conducted to examine the proliferation and apoptosis of HCC cells, respectively. The migration and invasion of HCC cells were assessed using wound healing and transwell assays, respectively. StarBase3.0 and dual-luciferase reporter gene assay were used to identify the target relationship between miR-766 and RMRP. A xenografted tumor model was established in rats to evaluate the effect of RMRP in vivo.
Results: RMRP was down-regulated in HCC tissues and cells. Low expression of RMRP was correlated with poor survival of HCC patients. The A495 value and colony number were significantly decreased in pcDNA3.1-RMRP-transfected MHCC97H and HuH7 cells. The apoptosis rate was significantly increased in pcDNA3.1-RMRP-transfected MHCC97H and HuH7 cells. The migration rate and the number of invasive cells were significantly decreased in pcDNA3.1-RMRP-transfected MHCC97H and HuH7 cells. MiR-766 was a target of RMRP and eliminated the anti-tumor effect of RMRP on MHCC97H cells. The up-regulation of RMRP suppressed the growth of xenograft tumors in rats.
Conclusion: Overexpression of RMRP suppressed the tumorigenesis of HCC by targeting miR-766.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a prevalent type of liver cancer, is characterized by an unfavorable prognosis and a high mortality rate. Identifying novel treatments to prevent HCC recurrence and metastasis remains crucial for improving patient survival. Gamabufotalin (CS-6), a primary bufadienolide derived from the traditional Chinese medicine Chansu, has demonstrated significant anti-tumor activity.

RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are a class of proteins that primarily function by interacting with different types of RNAs and play a critical role in regulating the transcription and translation of cancer-related genes. However, their role in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear. In this study, we analyzed RNA sequencing data and the corresponding clinical information of patients with HCC to screen for prognostic RBPs.

Article Synopsis
- Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common cancer linked to inflammation, with TREM1 identified as a key player in its progression, though its specific role in HCC metastasis is still unclear.
- Research showed that TREM1 was significantly overexpressed in HCC tissue, correlating with worse survival rates, while inhibiting TREM1 reduced HCC cell growth, invasion, and the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT).
- The study highlighted a connection between TREM1 and TLR2/4 pathways; blocking TREM1 affected signaling pathways involved in cancer cell behavior, and decreasing TREM1 also suppressed tumor growth and spread in animal models, suggesting it could be a therapeutic target

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, largely due to the limitations of available therapeutic strategies. The traditional Chinese medicine Qizhu Anticancer Prescription (QZACP) can improve the quality of life and prolong the survival time of patients with HCC. However, the precise mechanisms underlying the anti-cancer properties of QZACP remain unclear.
