    ZNRF3 and RNF43 Cooperate to Safeguard Metabolic Liver Zonation and Hepatocyte Proliferation

    Researchers showed that restricted chromatin accessibility in intestinal stem cells prevented the expression of β-Catenin-regulated metabolic enzymes, whereas fine-tuning of WNT/β-Catenin activity by ZNRF3 and RNF43 restricted proliferation in chromatin-permissive AXIN2+ hepatocytes, while preserving metabolic function.

    MiR-103a Promotes Tumor Growth and Influences Glucose Metabolism in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

    Researchers selected highly expressed microRNAs with different read counts as candidate microRNAs and then tested whether the microRNAs were differentially expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tumor tissues, and they found that their expression was related to the HCC prognosis.

    Mutant p53s and Chromosome 19 microRNA Cluster Overexpression Regulate Cancer Testis Antigen Expression and Cellular Transformation in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

    Using next-generation and Sanger sequencing investigators found that, p53 in Hep3B cells was impaired by TP53-FXR2 fusion, and that overexpression of the C19MC miRNA-520G in Hep3B cells promoted the expression of MAGEA-3, 6 and 12 mRNAs.
