14-3-3ε Overexpression Contributes to Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Background 14-3-3e is implicated in regulating tumor progression, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Our earlier study indicated that elevated 14-3-3e expression is significantly associated with higher risk of metastasis and lower survival rates of HCC patients. However, the molecular mechanisms of how 14-3-3e regulates HCC tumor metastasis are still unclear.
