NR0B1 is frequently activated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the role of NR0B1 is controversial in HCC. In this study, we observed that NR0B1 was an independent poor prognostic factor, negatively correlated with the overall survival of HCC and the relapse-free survival of patients treated with sorafenib. Meanwhile, NR0B1 promoted the proliferation, migration, and invasion of HCC cells, inhibited sorafenib-induced apoptosis, and elevated the IC50 of sorafenib in HCC cells. NR0B1 was further displayed to increase sorafenib-induced autophagic vesicles and activate Beclin1/LC3-II-dependent autophagy pathway. Finally, NR0B1 was revealed to transcriptionally suppress GSK3β that restrains AMPK/mTOR-driven autophagy and increases BAX-mediated apoptosis. Collectively, our study uncovered that the ectopic expression of NR0B1 augmented sorafenib-resistance in HCC cells by activating autophagy and inhibiting apoptosis. Our findings supported that NR0B1 was a detrimental factor for HCC prognosis.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common and highly aggressive tumor in the world. Although immunotherapy, surgical resection, targeted therapy and HCC transplantation could improve the prognosis for HCC patients, the tumor recurrence rate of the tumor remains high due to its insidious and invasive nature. Therefore, the development of new HCC therapeutic agents has become particularly important.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) continues to be a major cause of cancer-related death worldwide, primarily due to delays in diagnosis and resistance to existing treatments. Recent research has identified ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling-related genes (ACRRGs) as promising targets for therapeutic intervention across various types of cancer. This development offers potential new avenues for addressing the challenges in HCC management.

Background And Study Aims: As a novel immunotherapy, chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell technology is successful in treating hematologic malignancies, and exhibits potential benefits in partial solid tumors. Therapies targeting one antigen have some weaknesses, and dual-targeted CAR-T cells may be a better option. Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and glypican-3 (GPC3) are both highly expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and serve as important markers.
