Most cancers have a downregulation of Fidgetin (FIGN), which has been linked to tumor growth. However, there aren't many papers that mention FIGN's connection to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here, FIGN expression in HCC tissues was markedly reduced as compared to nearby normal liver tissues. According to univariate and multivariate Cox regression, it served as an independent predictor of survival outcomes. Patients with high levels of FIGN expression had a worse outcome. FIGN was shown to be engaged in immune-related pathways and to have a positive correlation with immunological score and immune cells according to KEGG pathway analysis. In HCC patients, FIGN was substantially linked with immunological checkpoints and the hot tumor state. Additionally, immunotherapy and chemotherapy showed a significant therapeutic response in HCC patients with low FIGN expression. This research revealed that FIGN expression was tightly related to hepatoma immunity and might be employed as a biomarker to predict patient prognosis and guide medication.

Article Synopsis
- * This review examines the evolutionary history and functional roles of these proteins, highlighting their importance in cytoskeletal organization, cell division, and DNA repair across various species.
- * Variations in expression patterns and roles of these proteins suggest they may serve as biomarkers for certain cancers and as potential therapeutic targets for neurological and cardiovascular diseases.

Background: Nor1/NR4A3 is a member of the NR4A subfamily of nuclear receptors that play essential roles in regulating gene expression related to development, cell homeostasis and neurological functions. However, Nor1 is still considered an orphan receptor, as its natural ligand remains unclear for mediating transcriptional activation. Yet other activation signals may modulate Nor1 activity, although their precise role in the development and maintenance of the nervous system remains elusive.

Background: Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) is a malignant tumor with a high degree of malignancy, invasiveness, and metastasis rate. Radiotherapy, as an important adjuvant therapy for HNSCC, can reduce the postoperative recurrence rate and improve the survival rate. Identifying the genes related to HNSCC radiotherapy resistance (HNSCC-RR) is helpful in the search for potential therapeutic targets.
