TEDC2 plays an oncogenic role and serves as a therapeutic target of hepatocellular carcinoma

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignancies and tends to have a poor prognosis due to its insidious onset, difficulty in early diagnosis, and limited treatment options. Tubulin epsilon and delta complex 2 (TEDC2), also known as C16orf59, is implicated in maintaining centriole stability, but the involvement of TEDC2 in HCC remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate the expression profile and potential mechanisms of TEDC2 in HCC.
