"Concurrently, gene set enrichment analyses of the TCGA and several GEO liver cancer datasets demonstrated a significant enrichment in the expression of a set of genes, which indicates poor survival of patients [32], in HCCs with high POH1 expression (Fig. S2b).3.2
POH1 promotes TGF-beta signaling in HCC cells."

"POH1 can remove the K63-polyubiqutin chains attached to CAV1 and compromise its activity in the lysosomal degradation of the TGF-β receptors.Regarding the functional consequences of POH1-mediated promotion of TGF-β signaling in HCC cells, we found that POH1 substantially increased the metastatic potential of HCC cells both in vitro and in vivo."

"Collectively, these results strongly suggest that POH1 may promote TGF-β signaling in HCC.Consistently, Kaplan-Meier analyses from the HCC samples revealed that the patients with higher staining scores of POH1 and p-SMAD3 had lower overall survival (Fig. 2c) and more advanced progression (Fig. 2d)."
