Perspectives

In this study, we have identified a novel functional recessive oncogene, RRAD, in HCC. Our findings indicate that RRAD regulates aerobic glycolysis and that metabolic reprogramming induced by RRAD inhibits cell proliferation and arrests HCC cells in G0/G1 in vitro. In vivo, overexpression of RRAD also retarded tumor growth. Moreover, cellular migration is impeded while apoptosis is promoted. These effects are consistent with a role for RRAD as a tumor suppressor in HCC.
