For example, Qi Wang et al. have shown that the RNA-binding protein DAZAP1 could suppress ferroptosis in HCC cells HepG2, SMMC-7721, Hep3B, Bel-7402, Huh7 and L02 by interacting with the SLC7A11 mRNA to affect the sensitivity of HCC cells to sorafenib (Wang et al., 2021). Here, SLC7A11 is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
