    HOXC11 Drives Lung Adenocarcinoma Progression through Transcriptional Regulation of SPHK1

    Scientists found that Homeobox C11 (HOXC11) overexpressed in lung adenocarcinoma and was associated with worse overall survival. Moreover, its expression in lung cancer was regulated by IκB kinase α, a pivotal kinase in NF-κB signaling, which was related to the ubiquitination of HOXC11.
