Significance In this study, we find that ARID2 expression is negatively correlated with HCC metastasis and positively associated prognosis of patients. We demonstrate inhibits cells by recruiting DNMT1 to the promoter Snail, which elevates DNA methylation suppresses Snail transcription. Notably, discover a C2H2 truncated mutation (3817C > T) in metastatic tissue. further reveal domain required for ARID2–DNMT1 interaction loss-of-function mutants disrupted are poor survival Taken together,...
