TL;DR

High MCT4 expression in TAMs may be associated with metabolic reprogramming toward glycolysis, and could promote M2 polarization of TAMs, thereby contributing to HCC progression and poor clinical outcomes.

FOXP1 transcriptionally activates NUSAP1 to induce M2 polarization of tumor-associated macrophages via glycolysis in hepatocellular carcinoma

A novel mechanism by which FOXP1 transcriptionally upregulates NUSAP1 expression results in glycolytic metabolic reprogramming that induces TAM M2 polarization and promotes HCC progression, identifying a potential therapeutic avenue for reversing the immunosuppressive microenvironment in HCC.

Hypoxia tumor-associated macrophages facilitate hepatocellular carcinoma metastasis via uPA-uPAR pathway.

Hypoxia drives TAM heterogeneity in HCC via an H‑TAM‑intrinsic HIF‑1α-uPA axis that engages uPAR on HCC cells to promote metastasis, and dasatinib is a promising therapy to block this axis and improve outcomes.

SLC25A43 in hepatocellular carcinoma: bioinformatics insights into progression and immune microenvironment.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) poses a significant global health burden with limited therapeutic options, particularly for non-viral etiologies. The mitochondrial solute carrier SLC25A43 is implicated in cellular redox homeostasis, yet its role in HCC remains unclear. This study aimed to comprehensively investigate the...
