CMTM4 is the most conserved member of chemokine-like factor (CKLF)-like MARVEL
transmembrane domain-containing (CMTM) family on chromosome 16q22.1, a locus that
harbors a number of tumor-suppressor genes. In previous studies, CMTM4 was
reported to be downregulated and exhibited tumor-suppressor activities by
regulating cell growth and cell cycle in clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
However, its roles in tumorigenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain
poorly studied. This study first investigated the expression of CMTM4 in HCC, and
then examined the association between the expression of CMTM4 with the
clinicopathological features and prognosis of HCC patients. It was found that
CMTM4 was downregulated in HCC tissues, compared with matched adjacent nontumor
tissues, as detected by immunohistochemistry. In addition, Kaplan-Meier survival
analysis showed that the negative expression of CMTM4 was associated with
decreased overall survival rates in patients with HCC. The results of this study
suggest CMTM4 plays a role as a tumor suppressor in HCC and CMTM4 negative
expression is a risk factor for poor prognosis of HCC.
