Core Tip
Core tip: Nuclear factor erythroid 2-like 3 (NFE2L3), as a key regulator of the cellular stress response, is involved in the regulation of various tumors, whereas its role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has not been elucidated. Our present study identified that NFE2L3 was closely associated with the grade and stage of HCC patients based on The Cancer Genome Atlas database. Furthermore, our study showed that short hairpin RNA-mediated knockdown of NFE2L3 exhibited tumor-suppressing effects in HCC cells.
