Key Words Hepatocellular carcinoma; Transcription factor 3; Matrix metalloproteinase-11; Migration; Invasion
Core Tip Elevated transcription factor 3 (TCF3) levels were observed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) samples and were associated with unfavorable outcomes. Additionally, overexpression of TCF3 facilitated the invasion and migration of HCC cells, while knocking down TCF3 suppressed their growth. In addition, TCF3 interacts with the promoter region of matrix metalloproteinase-11 (MMP11), facilitating the transcriptional activation of MMP11 mRNA, which consequently enhances the expression of MMP11. MMP11 knockdown repressed TCF3-associated HCC cell migration and invasion, while its overexpression attenuated the TCF3 knockdown-mediated repression of HCC growth. In human-derived HCC samples, TCF3 was positively correlated with MMP11 expression levels.
