CMTM6 promotes hepatocellular carcinoma progression through stabilizing β-catenin

CMTM6, a regulator of PD-L1 stability, has been implicated in the development of various cancers. However, the expression and role of CMTM6 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains controversial. Our study revealed a negative correlation between CMTM6 expression and HCC prognosis through bioinformatics analysis and immunofluorescence staining. CMTM6 expression was also positively associated with alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels, supporting its potential as a prognostic marker for HCC. Using Cmtm6 knockout mice, we found that Cmtm6 deficiency inhibited HCC formation and cell proliferation in primary liver cancer models induced by DEN and DEN/CCl4. In HCC cell lines, CMTM6 promoted cell proliferation and interacted with β-catenin, stabilizing it by preventing ubiquitination. In conclusion, our study suggested that CMTM6 upregulation promotes HCC cell proliferation through the β-catenin pathway, making it a potential therapeutic target for HCC treatment.
