    Schematic representation of NUAK1-mediated PD-L1 expression in HCC. NUAK1 enhances the transcriptional expression of PD-L1 by activating the GSK3β/β-catenin signaling pathway, thereby suppressing cytotoxic T cell activity within the tumor microenvironment and facilitating immune evasion in hepatocellular carcinoma
