These cells often rely on glycolysis for energy production, even in the presence of oxygen, a phenomenon known as aerobic glycolysis. This metabolic shift, along with other alterations, contributes to cancer cell growth and survival.

The mitochondrial protein p32 (C1QBP) has emerged as a critical regulator in various cancers, frequently associated with poor patient prognosis. However, the role of p32 across different cancer types remains largely unexplored. Our bioinformatics analysis demonstrates that p32 is significantly overexpressed in several malignancies and is closely involved in multiple oncogenic pathways related to tumor progression and metabolic reprogramming. Moreover, p32 expression positively correlates with genomic heterogeneity and drug sensitivity. We identified a strong association between p32 and c-Myc in both normal and cancerous tissues. We confirmed that p32 is a direct transcriptional target of c-Myc, which upregulates p32 by binding to its promoter. Functional experiments established that p32 is crucial for MYC-driven tumorigenesis, with its knockdown or knockout inhibiting tumor proliferation and extending survival.

For early HCC, resection surgery is currently the most effective treatment.

Cancer cells develop means to evade anoikis, e.g. anoikis resistance, thereby allowing for cells to survive under anchorage-independent conditions. HCC cells often acquire resistance to anoikis, allowing them to survive after detaching from the extracellular matrix and contributing to tumor spread. This review discusses the mechanisms of anoikis in HCC, exploring the potential of drug-induced anoikis and targeting anoikis resistance as promising therapeutic strategies for treating HCC, analyzing the value of anoikis in the immune of HCC, and propose potential pathways in oncotherapy, which can provide background knowledge for subsequent related research.</p>","PeriodicalId":18433,"journal":{"name":"Medical Oncology","volume":"42 3","pages":"58"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143066413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
