Background and Aims: The deubiquitination enzyme CYLD has originally been identified as a gene mutated in familial cylindromatosis, an autosomal-dominant predisposition to multiple tumors of the skin appendages.[1] CYLD is an important regulator of cell proliferation, survival and invasion and is downregulated in a variety of cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma.[2] CYLD acts as a negative regulator of NFκB-signaling and prevents the nuclear translocation of Bcl–3, a coactivator of NFκB subunits.[3] The aim of our study is to examine the effects of CYLD knockdown on the proliferation and invasion of HCC c…
