In HCC research, Li et al. confirmed that the expression of CMTM3 in HCC cell lines (HepG2, 97H, Hep3B, and HCCLM3) was low, and CMTM3 inhibits the proliferation and metastasis of HCC cells partially via suppressing the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway (31). Here, JAK2 is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
