Abstract Circular RNAs (circRNA) are a class of covalently closed single-stranded that have been implicated in cancer progression. Here we identify circNDUFB2 to be downregulated non-small cell lung (NSCLC) tissues, and negatively correlate with NSCLC malignant features. Elevated inhibits growth metastasis cells. Mechanistically, functions as scaffold enhance the interaction between TRIM25 IGF2BPs, positive regulator tumor progression metastasis. This TRIM25/circNDUFB2/IGF2BPs ternary...

Emerging evidence has indicated that deregulation of long non‐coding RNA s (lnc s) can contribute to the progression and metastasis human cancer, including hepatocellular carcinoma ( HCC ). However, roles most lnc in remain largely unknown. Here we found a noncoding termed Sch LAH (seven chromosome locus associated with ; also called BC 035072) was generally downregulated . Low expression significantly correlated shorter overall survival patients. In vitro vivo assays overexpression...

Alterations in cellular metabolism are one of the characteristics cancer. They not only result tumor progression but also cause cancer initiation. Pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (PDK4) is a key metabolic enzyme, which regulates cell by inhibiting pyruvate (PDH). However, function and regulating mechanism PDK4 HCC remain unclear. Here, we found that expression was significantly decreased tissues, its downregulation could predict poor prognosis patients. Silencing facilitated proliferation...

Abstract Background Numerous studies have used multi-region sampling approaches to characterize intra-tumor heterogeneity (ITH) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, conventional strategies do not preserve the spatial details of samples, and thus, potential influences distribution on patient-wise ITH (represents overall level tumor a given patient) long been overlooked. Furthermore, gene-wise transcriptional expression pattern genes across different regions) HCC is also under-explored,...

Metastasis is the main reason for high recurrence and poor survival of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The molecular mechanism underlying HCC metastasis remains unclear. In this study, we found that argininosuccinate synthase 1 (ASS1) expression was significantly decreased down-regulation ASS1 closely correlated with prognosis in patients. DNA methylation led to HCC. Stable silencing promoted migration invasion cells, whereas overexpression ASS1-inhibited cells vivo vitro. We also revealed...
