Article Synopsis
  • miRNA-221 is a type of tiny molecule that has been found in many tumors, which might mean it helps cancer grow.
  • Researchers studied how miRNA-221 appears in liver cancer (HCC) and found it is higher in cancer tissues than in normal nearby tissues.
  • Patients with more miRNA-221 in their tumors tend to have worse outcomes and shorter survival times, making it an important marker to help predict how patients will do.

Accumulating evidence suggests that the tumor suppressor gene Krüppel-like factor 6 (KLF6) plays important roles in both development and progression of cancer. However, the role of KLF6 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear. Cancer-related molecule basigin-2 plays an important role in HCC progression and metastasis.

State Key Laboratory of Cancer Biology, Department of Cell Biology, Cell Engineering Research Center, Fourth Military Medical University, Xi'an, 710032, China.

CD147 overexpresses in many epithelium-originated tumors and plays an important role in tumor migration and invasion. Most studies aim at the role of CD147 in tumor progression using tumor cell models. However, the influence of abnormal overexpression of CD147 on neoplastic transformation of normal cells is unknown.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women for which the metastatic process is still poorly understood. CD147 is upregulated in breast cancer and has been associated with tumor progression, but little is known about its regulatory mechanisms. In this study, we demonstrated that CD147 was overexpressed in breast cancer tissues and cell lines, and the high expression correlated with tumor invasion and metastasis.
