E2F2 induction in related to cell proliferation and poor prognosis in non-small cell lung carcinoma.

E2F transcription factors regulate a wide range of biological processes, including cell cycle, apoptosis and DNA damage response. In the present study, we examined whether E2F2 is related to the poor prognosis of NSCLC and its role in progress of NSCLC. Firstly, we analyzed 86 NSCLC samples by immunohistochemistry and found that E2F2 expression was markedly increased in 62.

CDKN3 knockdown reduces cell proliferation, invasion and promotes apoptosis in human ovarian cancer.

Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 3 (CDKN3) has been reported to promote tumor genesis. The aim of this study is to investigate the possible mechanisms of silence of CDKN3 exerting the suppressive role on epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). To study the potential function of CDKN3 enrolled in the regulation of ovarian tumor, we monitored the EOC cells SKOV3 and HO8910 behaviors including proliferation, cell cycle, apoptosis and invasion.
