RBM47 inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma progression by targeting UPF1 as a DNA/RNA regulator.

ABSTRACT: The mechanisms by which the tumor behaviors of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) support growth and metastasis remain largely unknown, and it has become increasingly apparent that molecular dysregulation is of considerable importance for cellular signaling pathways. Recently, RNA-binding motif protein 47 (RBM47) has been suggested to function as a tumor regulator by acting as an RNA binding protein (RBP), but its role in HCC remains ambiguous. Here, in HCC, we identified that RBM47 had an inhibitory influence on tumor behaviors in vitro and accordingly suppressed the growth and metastasis of xenograft tumors in vivo. Additionally, RBM47 was verified to positively regulate Upframeshift 1 (UPF1), which is a crucial protein involved in the nonsense-mediated RNA decay (NMD) process and was previo
