AZIN1 and hepatocellular carcinoma: Concordant with these goals, we have identified the molecule AZIN1, which promotes tumorigenesis in other cancers, (among them hepatocellular carcinoma [58], colon [59], lung [60] and prostate cancer [31]), to be highly expressed in MB tissues and have established that AZIN1 induces increased proliferation, invasion, and colony formation in MB cells.
