Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nRecent evidence in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) indicates that TEDC2, also known as C16orf59, is markedly upregulated at both the mRNA and protein level in tumor tissues relative to normal counterparts. Elevated TEDC2 expression correlates with poor patient prognosis and is associated with reduced infiltration of key immune cells—particularly dendritic cells and B cells—alongside a positive correlation with immune checkpoint markers such as PDCD1, LAG3, and CD276. Co-expression analyses also link TEDC2 to genes involved in mitotic cell cycle processes, suggesting its potential role in modulating cell proliferation and the tumor immune microenvironment."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": ""}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nIn hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), investigations have focused on the expression profile and potential mechanisms of TEDC2.
