Background: GABPB1, the gene that encodes two isoforms of the beta subunit of GABP, has been identified as an oncogene in multiple malignant tumors. However, the role and mode of action of GABPB1 in malignant tumors, especially in lung cancer, are not well understood and need further research.
Methods: Our research focused on examining the biological function of GABPB1 in NSCLC (Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer).
It has widely been accepted that food restriction (FR) without malnutrition has multiple health benefits. Various calorie restriction (CR) and intermittent fasting (IF) regimens have recently been reported to exert neuroprotective effects in traumatic brain injury (TBI) through variable mechanisms. However, the evidence connecting CR or IF to neuroprotection in TBI as well as current issues remaining in this research field have yet to be reviewed in literature.

However, resistance to treatment severely compromises the survival rate and prognosis of patients with NSCLC. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of IL-1β in paclitaxel sensitivity of NSCLC cells and elucidate the underlying mechanism.

However, the role of CCDC68 in the development of lung cancer has not been extensively studied. In the present study, to explore the biological functions of CCDC68 in NSCLC, we performed cell proliferation, viability and apoptosis assays on human lung cancer cell lines upon CCDC68 gene silencing with short hairpin RNA.
