摘要
Identification of novel biomarkers for prediction of disease course and prognosis is needed to reduce morbidity of liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC/HCC) patients. Although dysregulated Periodic tryptophan protein 1 homolog (PWP1/endonuclein) expression has been detected in several tumors, the potential regulatory effect of PWP1 on LIHC remains uncertain. Here we evaluated the expression of PWP1 using multiple online platforms, and demonstrated that PWP1 upregulation was consistently observed in LIHC relative to non-tumor liver tissues and correlated with unfavorable prognosis. Moreover, HCC prognosis was significantly influenced by the methylation status of various CpG sites in the PWP1 gene. Lastly, we provide direct evidence that PWP1 acts as a driver of HCC progression by showing that siRNA-mediated PWP1 silencing significantly suppressed HCC cell proliferation in vitro. These data strongly suggest that PWP1 silencing may be an effective therapeutic strategy to treat LIHC.
