The aims of this study were to analyze the association of LMO4 with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) survival rate, and to determine its functional role and signaling pathway in lung cancer.
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to detect the expression of LMO4 in NSCLC cell lines and tumor tissues. Migration and invasion ability was detected respectively by wound healing test and transwell test. Immunofluorescence and western blot were detected of AKT/PI3K pathway related genes MAPK, PI3K, AKT.
LMO4 has high expression level of NSCLC cell lines and tumor tissues, and correlated with a lower survival rate. LMO4 can regulate the migration and invasion of NSCLC cells through the AKT/PI3K pathway.
LMO4 could serve as a promising biomarker and therapeutic target for NSCLC.
本研究旨在分析LMO4与非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)生存率的相关性,并确定其在肺癌中的功能作用和信号通路。
采用免疫组织化学(IHC)检测LMO4在NSCLC细胞系和肿瘤组织中的表达。分别通过伤口愈合试验和Transwell试验检测迁移和侵袭能力。检测AKT/PI3K通路相关基因MAPK、PI3K、AKT的免疫荧光和蛋白质印迹。
LMO4在NSCLC细胞系和肿瘤组织中表达水平较高,且与较低的生存率相关。LMO4可通过AKT/PI3K通路调节NSCLC细胞的迁移和侵袭。
LMO4有望成为NSCLC的生物标志物和治疗靶点。
