The activation of HAMP promotes colorectal cancer cell proliferation through zinc-mediated upregulation of SMAD4 expression
CONCLUSIONS: HAMP stands out as an independent prognostic factor in CRC, representing a potential therapeutic target. Its intricate regulation by zinc, particularly through the modulation of SMAD4, unveils a novel avenue for understanding CRC biology. This study provides valuable insights into the interplay between zinc metabolism, HAMP, and CRC, offering promising clinical indicators for CRC patients. The findings present a compelling case for further exploration and development of targeted therapeutic strategies in CRC management.PMID:38617511 | PMC:PMC11009800 | DOI:10.21037/tcr-23-1292 (Source: Cell Research)
