Core Tip Aberrant methionine (Met) metabolism critically promotes the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Met deficiency may induce ferroptosis and inhibit epithelial-mesenchymal transition through the ARNT2/UBE2Z axis, thereby suppressing HCC progression, whereas Met supplementation reverses these effects. Furthermore, high expression levels of ARNT2 and UBE2Z predict unfavorable prognosis in HCC patients. Collectively, these findings indicate that the Met-ARNT2/UBE2Z pathway may serve as a novel anti-HCC therapeutic target.
