Coimmunoprecipitation or GST pulldown assays confirmed CCT2 interactions with aldolase A (ALDOA) and glutathione S-transferase P (GSTP1), while THP1 co-culture assays evaluated tumor immune crosstalk.<h4>Results</h4>CCT2 directly interacts with and stabilizes the glycolytic enzyme ALDOA, as shown by co-immunoprecipitation and metabolic assays revealing increased extracellular acidification rate, glucose uptake, and lactate production in HCC cells. This evidence concerns the gene GSTP1 and hepatocellular carcinoma.
