SPIN1 accelerates tumorigenesis and confers radioresistance in non-small cell lung cancer by orchestrating the FOXO3a/FOXM1 axis.

Despite the importance of radiation therapy as a nonsurgical treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), radiation resistance has always been a concern because of poor patient response and outcomes. Therefore, it is crucial to identify novel targets to increase the effectiveness of radiotherapy and investigate the mechanisms underlying radioresistance. Previously, we demonstrated that Spindlin 1 (SPIN1) was related to tumour initiation and progression.
