Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is among the world's worst malignancies. Nuclear division cycle 1 (NDC1) is an essential membrane-integral nucleoporin, found in this study to be significantly increased in primary HCC. A multivariate analysis revealed that higher NDC1 expression was linked to worse outcome in HCC patients. Mouse xenograft tumors overexpressing NDC1 grew rapidly, and HCC cells overexpressing NDC1 showed enhanced proliferation, invasion, and migration in vitro. In contrast, knocking down NDC1 had the opposite effects in vitro. Furthermore, co-immunoprecipitation and liquid chromatograph mass spectrometer analyses revealed that NDC1 activated PI3K/AKT signaling by interacting with BCAP31. In summary, NDC1 and BCAP31 cooperate to promote the PI3K/AKT pathway, which is essential for HCC carcinogenesis. This suggests that NDC1 is predictive of prognosis in HCC.

Article Synopsis
  • * It explores the relationship between nuclear pore complex (NPC) components and caretakers in genome instability syndromes, focusing on how defects in these caretakers affect NPC architecture in Werner syndrome and Hereditary Fibrosing Poikiloderma.
  • * The review highlights the connection between damage sensors from both syndromes and the NPC, emphasizing their role in maintaining telomere length and restoring DNA damage at the nuclear periphery.

Article Synopsis
  • Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are critical for transporting materials in and out of the nucleus, and their assembly relies on a transmembrane protein called NDC1, which is essential for recruiting another protein, ALADIN, to the nuclear envelope.
  • Biallelic mutations in the NDC1 gene have been identified in individuals with a triple A-like syndrome (excluding adrenal insufficiency), characterized by symptoms such as intellectual disability, motor impairment, and demyelinating polyneuropathy, which are similar to those seen in triple A syndrome caused by ALADIN mutations.
  • Research indicates that these mutations hinder the proper function of NDC1, affecting its ability to recruit ALADIN, thereby leading to the observed neurological symptoms and
