Recently, the importance of RNA splicing in tumorigenesis are gradually recognized by researchers. However, the roles of RNA splicing in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are still unknown. MBNL2 is an mRNA splicing factor. Loss of function of MBNL2 is a major mechanism for the pathogenesis of myotonic dystrophy. A recent study showed it plays important roles in the differentiation process of embryonic stem cell. Our preliminary data showed overexpression of MBNL2 in HCC. Besides, in normal liver tissue, MBNL2 is expression in the loci of hepatic stem cell. In this research, we will explore the role of MBNL2 and its associated RNA splicing pattern in the carcinogenesis of HCC. The specific aims are:1.Aim 1. To determine the expression frequency of MBNL2 in HCC and the clinicopathologic significance of MBNL2 expression in HCC.2.Aim 2. To explore the role of MBNL2 in liver regeneration and hepatic stem cell.3.Aim 3. To determine the roles of MBNL2 in the tumor formation and invasion of HCC.4.Aim 4. To identify the mRNA splicing pattern associated with MBNL2 and study the effect of splicing on gene function.MBNL2RNA剪接肝細胞癌肝臟再生MBNL2RNA splicinghepatocellular carcinomaliver regeneration
