Consequences of Zmat3 Loss in c-MYC– and Mutant KRAS-Driven Tumorigenesis

To investigate which oncogenic drivers co-operate with Zmat3 loss to promote neoplastic transformation, researchers utilized Zmat3 knockout mice in models of c-MYC-driven lymphomagenesis and Kras^G12D-driven lung adenocarcinoma development.

Upregulation of KCNQ1OT1 Promotes Resistance to Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy in Lung Adenocarcinoma by Inducing ATG5/ATG12-Mediated Autophagy via miR-372-3p

The differential lncRNAs were screened by microarray assay, then the expression was detected in LUAD tumor tissues and cell lines by qPCR. The influence on radiation response was assessed via in vitro and in vivo assays, and autophagy levels were evaluated by western blot and transmission electron microscopy.
