ABSTRACT
In this editorial, the roles of tata-box-binding protein-associated factor 15 (TAF15) in oncogenesis, tumor behavior, and as a therapeutic target in cancers in the context of gastrointestinal (GI) tumors are discussed concerning the publication by Guo et al. TAF15 is a member of the FET protein family with a comprehensive range of cellular processes. Besides, evidence has shown that TAF15 is involved in many diseases, including cancers. TAF15 contributes to carcinogenesis and tumor behavior in many tumors. Besides, its relationship with the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) signaling pathway makes TAF15 a new target for therapy. Although, the fact that there is few studies investigating the expression of TAF15 constitutes a potential limitation in GI system, the association of TAF15 expression with aggressive tumor behavior and, similar to other organ tumors, the influence of TAF15 on the MAPK signaling pathway emphasize that this protein could serve as a new molecular biomarker to predict tumor behavior and target therapeutic intervention in GI cancers. In conclusion, more studies should be performed to better understand the prognostic and therapeutic role of TAF15 in GI tumors, especially in tumors resistant to therapy.
