Abstract

Lung cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world, and the mortality rate ranks first among various malignant tumors. GTP-binding proteins (guanosine 5'-triphosphate-binding proteins, GTPBPs) are a type of protein with signal transduction function, have GTP hydrolase activity, and play an important role in cell signal transmission, cytoskeletal regulation, protein synthesis and other activities. GTPBP2 is one of the members of the G protein superfamily. Research on GTPBP2 is currently focused on human genetics, and its research in tumors has not been reported. First, Western blot and quantitative real-time PCR were used to analyze the expression differences of 12 cases of GTPBP2 in human NSCLC fresh cancer tissues and adjacent tissues. Then we selected 112 cases of NSCLC cancer tissues and 65 adjacent tissues for immunohistochemistry experiments to analyze the relationships between the expression of GTPBP2 and clinical pathological parameters and prognosis, we found that GTPBP2 is highly expressed in NSCLC cancer tissues, and the high expression of GTPBP2 is related to pTNM stage and lymph node metastasis. In addition, after GTPBP2 knockdown, GTPBP2 can promote the proliferation and invasion of NSCLC cell line...Continue Reading

Cell Migration in Cancer and Metastasis

Migration of cancer cells into surrounding tissue and the vasculature is an initial step in tumor metastasis. Discover the latest research on cell migration in cancer and metastasis here.

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.
