TSPAN6 (Tetraspanin 6)

These findings were consistent with RT-qPCR and immunohistochemical results. TSPAN15, TSPAN9, and TSPAN16 are TM4SF-related signature genes with prognostic value for ESCC, providing a theoretical foundation for its diagnosis and treatment.

Integrated analyses highlight TRIM9 as a tumor suppressor and prognostic biomarker, mediated via ubiquitination-dependent regulation of HNRNPU stability. This work provides insights into ubiquitination-driven PC pathogenesis and therapeutic targeting.

Molecular docking simulations identified ligands with high binding affinity and stability, notably C5 and Hoechst 33258, which were prioritized for further validation and potential drug development. This study employs a novel diagnostic model for HNSCC constructed using machine learning technology, which can provide support for the early diagnosis of HNSCC and thus contribute to improving patient treatment plans and clinical management strategies.

Our findings emphasize its potential as both a diagnostic and therapeutic target as well as a predictor of immune therapy response in gliomas.

Tetraspanins are understudied in almost all cell types and their functions are not clearly defined. Fortunately, it has been possible to identify the basic mechanisms underlying the biological role of these proteins. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to describe the roles of tetraspanins 6, 7 and 8.

Knockdown of TSPAN6 using siRNA resulted in decreased expression levels of NF-κB in A549 cells. This indicates that TSPAN6 may have dual effects on lung cancer cisplatin resistance and could serve as a promising therapeutic target for individuals with cisplatin resistance.

In addition, TSPAN6 overexpression in glioblastoma cells enhanced angiogenesis via regulating TME and STAT3 signaling pathway. Collectively, TSPAN6 has the potential to serve as both a therapeutic target and a prognostic biomarker for the treatment of glioblastoma.

These results demonstrate that tetraspanins control intercellular trafficking of oxysterols via CCD-EVs. Furthermore, tetraspanin-dependent changes in the oxysterol composition of CCD-EVs and the LXR signaling axis play a key role in specific changes in the tumor immune microenvironment.

Our findings identified TM4SF1 as a potential diagnostic marker of LNM and TSPAN2 as a prognostic factor for patients with PTC. Our study provides a novel strategy to assess prognosis and predict effective treatments in PTC.

Finally, low TSPAN6 expression correlates with poor prognosis of patients with lung and pancreatic cancers with mesenchymal morphology. Our results uncover TSPAN6 as a novel tumor suppressor receptor that controls epithelial cell identify and restrains RAS-driven epithelial cancer.
