The nociceptin receptor promotes autophagy through NF-kB signaling and is transcriptionally regulated by E2F1 in HCC

Abstract Opioids and their receptors are involved in cancer progression. However, the roles of the nociceptin receptor (NOP) and its antagonist (JTC801) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are poorly understood. The prognostic value of NOP expression was evaluated using tissue microarray and immunohis...
