Experimental overexpression of TMEM220 in HCC cell lines markedly slows cell proliferation and metastasis. This tumor-suppressive effect appears to be mediated, at least in part, by modulation of key signaling pathways—including the FOXO and PI3K-Akt cascades—through alterations in the subcellular localization and transcriptional activity of β-catenin and FOXO3. The resultant changes in the expression of downstream effectors such as p21 and SNAIL underline the role of TMEM220 in inhibiting HCC progression."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "3"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "rg", "children": [{"type": "r", "ref": 1, "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Boram Choi, Tae-Su Han, Jimin Min, et al.
