Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Despite significant advances in cancer research and treatment, the overall prognosis of lung cancer patients remains poor. Therefore, the identification for novel therapeutic targets is critical for the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer. CPNEs (copines) are a family of membrane-bound proteins that are highly conserved, soluble, ubiquitous, calcium dependent in a variety of eukaryotes. Emerging evidences have also indicated CPNE family members are involved in cancer development and progression as well. However, the expression patterns and clinical roles in cancer have not yet been well understood. In this review, we summarize recent advances concerning CPNE family members and provide insights into new potential mechanism involved in cancer development.

Calcium ions (Ca) play crucial roles in sperm motility and fertilization. The copine (CPNE) family comprises several Ca-dependent phospholipid-binding proteins. Of these, CPNE1 is extensively expressed in mammalian tissues; however, its precise role in testicular development and spermatogenesis is yet to be fully characterized.

Combinatorial expression of Brn3 transcription factors is required for the development of cell-specific morphologies in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). The molecular mechanisms by which Brn3s regulate RGC type specific features are largely unexplored. We previously identified several members of the Copine (Cpne) family of molecules as potential targets of Brn3 transcription factors in the retina.

Background: Copines are calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding proteins found in many eukaryotic organisms and are thought to be involved in signaling pathways that regulate a wide variety of cellular processes. Copines are characterized by having two C2 domains at the N-terminus accompanied by an A domain at the C-terminus. Six copine genes have been identified in the Dictyostelium genome, cpnA - cpnF.

The crocapeptins are described here as cyclic depsipeptides, isolated from cultures of the myxobacterium Chondromyces crocatus . Structure elucidation of the compounds revealed a cyanopeptolin-like skeleton, containing the characteristic amino-hydroxy-piperidone (Ahp)-heterocycle. Like the cyanopeptolins, the myxobacterial crocapeptins proved to be serine protease inhibitors.
