KHDRBS1 as a novel prognostic signaling biomarker influencing hepatocellular carcinoma cell proliferation, migration, immune microenvironment, and drug sensitivity

Le résumé fourni par la source

Background: Human tumors pose significant challenges, with targeted therapy against specific molecular targets or signaling pathways being a mainstay alongside surgical resection. Previous studies have implicated KHDRBS1 in the oncogenesis of certain human tumors such as colorectal and prostate cancers, underscoring its potential as a therapeutic target. However, the comprehensive expression pattern of KHDRBS1 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) warrants further exploration. Methods: Integrating and analyzing multi-omics, multi-cohort data from public databases, coupled with clinical samples and molecular biology validation, we elucidate the oncogenic role of KHDRBS1 in HCC progression. Additionally, leveraging HCC single-cell sequencing data, we segregate malignant cells into KHDRBS1-positive and negative subsets, uncovering significant differences in their expression profiles and functional roles. Results: Our study identifies KHDRBS1 as a tumor-promoting factor in HCC, with its positivity correlating with tumor progression. Furthermore, we highlight the clinical significance of KHDRBS1-positive malignant cells, aiming to further propel its clinical utility. Conclusion: KHDRBS1 plays a key role in HCC development. This study provides crucial insights for further investigation into KHDRBS1 as a therapeutic target in HCC.
