Dyregulation of MORC2 disrupts several crucial cancer-related pathways. (A) Knockdown of MORC2 activates apoptotic pathways. (B) Based on the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes database, gene expression profile analysis identified significant different pathways modulated by MORC2. (C) In HepG2 cells, knockdown of MORC2 activated the p53 pathway. (D) In HepG2 cells, knockdown of MORC2 inhibited the Hippo pathway. MORC2, microrchidia; PARP, poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase; Bcl-2, B-cell lymphoma-2; Bax, Bcl-2-associated X protein; PUMAα, p53 upregulated modulator of apoptosis α; p-, phosphorylated; si, small interfering RNA; NC, negative control; YAP1, Yes-associated protein 1; TAZ, transcriptional co-activator with PDZ-binding motif.
