NTAQ1 Promotes Hepatocellular Carcinoma Growth by Facilitating the Protein Degradation of the Tumor Suppressor PRDM2

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
Copy number variation analysis in The Cancer Genome Atlas identified NTAQ1 as a potential driver of HCC progression. NTAQ1 accelerates tumor growth by promoting the degradation of the tumor suppressor protein PRDM2, thereby impairing DNA repair and suppressing apoptosis. These findings indicate that NTAQ1 could be a valuable target for the treatment of
