PRDM2 and hepatocellular carcinoma: In recent years, studies have shown that methylation of the RIZ1 gene promoter region in HCC tissues is associated with postoperative tumor recurrence, which may be the reason for the poor prognosis of patients with RIZ1 gene methylation positive in HCC tissues (21); Similarly, another study also showed that Compared with normal tissues, the methylation level of the ADRA1A promoter region in the tumor tissues of HCC patients was significantly increased, the mRNA and protein levels of ADRA1A were decreased, and DNA methyltransferase inhibitors could increase the mRNA expression of ADRA1A (22).
