ZC3H12C is an important member of the CCCH-zinc finger protein family and is mainly involved in host immune and inflammatory diseases. However, its abnormal expression and prognostic value in cancer have not yet been established. Through comparative analysis of the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, we found that ZC3H12C is the most relevant to the prognosis, grade, and stage of renal clear cell carcinoma (ccRCC) across 33 cancers. With the help of patient transcription and clinical data from the TCGA and GEO (GSE53757, GSE36895) databases, we determined that in the immune environment of patients with ccRCC, ZC3H12C was clearly negatively correlated with Tregs and was significantly positively correlated with monocytes. In addition, protein phosphorylation and DNA methylation analysis also showed that ZC3H12C negatively regulates the role of cancer in ccRCC. Our research may provide new insights into ccRCC immunotherapy and bring forth novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

The activation of macrophages, essential for the innate defense against invading pathogens, revolves around Toll-like receptors (TLRs). Nevertheless, a comprehensive understanding of the molecular mechanisms governing TLR signaling in the course of macrophage activation remains to be fully clarified. Although Zc3h12c was originally identified as being enriched in organs associated with macrophages, its precise function remains elusive.

Background: The tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) is an important regulator of tumor progression, growth and metastasis. In addition, tumor metastasis is one of the principal obstacles to the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC). Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been recognized as important regulators in the development of malignancies.

Regulation of lineage biases in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) is pivotal for balanced hematopoietic output. However, little is known about the mechanism behind lineage choice in HSPCs. Here, we show that messenger RNA (mRNA) decay factors regnase-1 (Reg1; Zc3h12a) and regnase-3 (Reg3; Zc3h12c) are essential for determining lymphoid fate and restricting myeloid differentiation in HSPCs.

Children with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) face a relapse of the disease in 30% of all cases. AML relapse is difficult to predict, and existing risk scales are often ineffective. Using data from the Therapeutically Applicable Research to Generate Effective Treatments (TARGET-AML) project, we defined an expression signature based on matrix RNAs (mRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) that could predict relapse in pediatric AML patients.

The dysregulation of RNA binding proteins (RBPs) is involved in tumorigenesis and progression. However, information on the overall function of RNA binding proteins in Uterine Corpus Endometrial Carcinoma (UCEC) remains to be studied. This study aimed to explore Uterine Corpus Endometrial Carcinoma-associated molecular mechanisms and develop an RNA-binding protein-associated prognostic model.
