| Abstract |
Forkhead box R2 (FOXR2), a member of forkhead box (FOX) family, has been identified as an oncogene in medulloblastoma and breast cancer recently. However, the expression and function of FOXR2 in hepatocellular carcinoma cell (HCC) are still unclear. Here, we report that FOXR2 is frequently upregulated in 25/42 (59.5 %) of HCC specimens compared with neighboring non-cancerous tissues in messenger RNA (mRNA) level and further confirmed by immunohistochemistry analysis in protein level. Cellular function analyses revealed that FOXR2 promoted cell growth and colony formation, whereas knockdown of FOXR2 by RNA inference inhibited cell growth and decreased the growth ability of HCC cells in soft agar. Moreover, we also found FOXR2 overexpression facilitated the development of tumor xenografts in nude mice model. In addition, we validated β-catenin, Skp2, c-Myc, and Gli-1 as the potential downstream effectors of FOXR2 in the regulation of cell proliferation and malignancy by quantitative real-time PCR analysis. Collectively, our data suggest that FOXR2 promotes cell proliferation and malignancy in HCC and could be a novel promising therapeutic target for this disease. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 February 2016.
All research outputs
#20,983,210
of 23,613,071 outputs
Outputs from Tumor Biology
#1,851
of 2,614 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#337,283
of 400,343 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Tumor Biology
#128
of 197 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,613,071 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,614 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.4. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 400,343 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 197 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
