For example, in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), YTHDF1 recognizes the m6A mark on SLC7A11 mRNA to enhance the inhibition of ferroptosis,182 and in hepatic stellate cells, YTHDF1 also recognizes m6A mark on the BECN1 mRNA, enhancing ferritinophagy to induce ferroptosis.186. This evidence concerns the gene YTHDF1 and hepatocellular carcinoma.
