Disease Name: | Carcinoma, Hepatocellular |
Sample: | HCC tissues and cell lines |
Dysfunction Pattern: | Regulation(CREB/PFKFB4 ) |
Validated Method: | CCK8//qRT-PCR//Western Blot |
Description: | Here, we disclosed that the FIRRE level was frequently increased in HCC compared to nontumor tissues. Compared with normal liver cells, we also confirmed the upregulated level of FIRRE in HCC cells.Mechanistically, modulating FIRRE level did not affect the stability of PFKFB4 mRNA. FIRRE was mainly distributed in HCC cells' nucleus and promoted PFKFB4 transcription and expression via cAMP-responsive element-binding protein (CREB). PFKFB4 could abolish the effects of FIRRE knockdown on HCC cell proliferation and glycolysis. |
Causality: | Yes |
Causal Description: | Functionally, FIRRE knockdown repressed the proliferation and glycolysis of HCCLM3 cells.Overexpression of FIRRE strengthened Huh7 cell proliferation and glycolysis. Notably, FIRRE positively regulated the glycolic enzyme 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-biphosphatase 4 (PFKFB4) expression in HCC cells. |
Clinical-realted Application: | Notably, the FIRRE high expression was related to malignant clinical features, including advanced TNM stage and tumor size ≥5 cm, and conferred to worse survival of HCC. |

Disease Name: | Carcinoma, Hepatocellular |
Sample: | cell lines and tissue samples |
Dysfunction Pattern: | Interaction(MBNL3/PXN ) |
Validated Method: | qRT-PCR |
Description: | In this study, we found that FIRRE, a recently identified cancer-associated lncRNA located on chromosome X, is highly expressed in HCC cell lines and tissue samples, and its expression is positively correlated with poor HCC prognosis. As for the potential mechanism, FIRRE specifically binds to the splicing factor MBNL3 to affect the expression of PXN to regulate the pathological characteristics of HCC cells. |
Causality: | Yes |
Causal Description: | In vitro and in vivo functional analyses showed that FIRRE could promote the proliferation, migration, and invasion of HCC. |
Clinical-realted Application: | In this study, we found that FIRRE, a recently identified cancer-associated lncRNA located on chromosome X, is highly expressed in HCC cell lines and tissue samples, and its expression is positively correlated with poor HCC prognosis. |
