Demonstrated by using transwell, cck8, sphere formation, and other experiments, the effects of LIMA1 on the migration, proliferation, stemness, and other aspects of hepatocellular carcinoma were significant. Moreover, the effect of LIMA1 on the wnt-βcatenin/Hippo pathway was revealed by using RNA sequencing and western blot, and the relationship between LIMA1 and βcatenin was verified by using COIP. Finally, the effect of m6a modification on LIMA1 was further verified using Western blotting, actinomycin D and MeRip experiments.  \nResults In HCC tissues and several HCC cell lines, LIMA1 was expressed at a relatively high level. LIMA1 positively regulated the invasion, migration, proliferation and stemness of hepatocellular carcinoma, and silencing of LIMA1 inhibited the tumorigenic ability of HCC cells in nude mice. Moreover, it was shown that LIMA1 can have an impact on the wnt-β-catenin/Hippo pathway. And silencing β-catenin suppressed the invasion, migration, proliferation and stemness of hepatocellular carcinoma cells mediated by LIMA1 . Finally, it was further verified that the activation of LIMA1 in hepatocellular carcinoma cells is due to m6-methyladenosine methylation that is dependent on METTL3 .  \nConclusions In HCC, LIMA1 functions as a tumor promoter and engages with the WNT-β -catenin and Hippo signaling pathways,, affecting the  \ncharacteristics of tumor cells. LIMA1 expression is regulated by METTL3-mediated m6A modification, leading to its high expression in HCC.
