The application provides an application of a CNOT9 expression inhibitor in preparation of a
medicine for preventing, alleviating and / or treating
liver cancer. It is found for the first time that the mRNA and
protein expression levels of CNOT9 in
hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues are significantly higher than those in paracancerous and normal liver tissues, and the high expression is closely related to the prognosis indexes such as the
overall survival and progression-free survival of patients, thereby establishing the value of CNOT9 as a
liver cancer diagnosis marker and a new treatment target. Based on this, the application provides an application of a CNOT9 inhibitor in preparation of a
medicine for preventing, alleviating and / or treating
liver cancer. By down-regulating the expression of CNOT9 through siRNA, the
proliferation activity, clonogenicity, migration and invasion ability of liver
cancer cells HLF can be effectively inhibited. The application further provides a
medicine composition comprising the inhibitor, thereby providing a brand-new target and effective intervention strategy for liver
cancer treatment, and having a great clinical development prospect and application value.
