Abstract
Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is characterized by its aggressive nature and resistance to treatment. FAM107A is a tumor suppressor gene that has been found to possess inhibitory effects in several cancers, but its role in LUAD remains unclear. This study investigated the role of FAM107A in regulating LUAD cell growth, invasion and aerobic glycolysis and also investigated the potential underlying mechanisms. Our findings revealed that FAM107A is significantly downregulated in LUAD, and its overexpression inhibited LUAD cell growth and invasion. Furthermore, FAM107A overexpression suppressed the anaerobic phase of carbohydrate metabolism in LUAD cells. Mechanistically, FAM107A regulated the CRYAB/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, thereby inhibiting tumor progression, and similar findings were confirmed in our in vivo mouse model. In conclusion, FAM107A can suppress LUAD progression by regulating the CRYAB/PI3K/AKT pathway and aerobic glycolysis, indicating its potential as therapeutic target for LUAD.
期刊介绍:
Biochemical Genetics welcomes original manuscripts that address and test clear scientific hypotheses, are directed to a broad scientific audience, and clearly contribute to the advancement of the field through the use of sound sampling or experimental design, reliable analytical methodologies and robust statistical analyses.
Although studies focusing on particular regions and target organisms are welcome, it is not the journal’s goal to publish essentially descriptive studies that provide results with narrow applicability, or are based on very small samples or pseudoreplication.
Rather, Biochemical Genetics welcomes review articles that go beyond summarizing previous publications and create added value through the systematic analysis and critique of the current state of knowledge or by conducting meta-analyses.
Methodological articles are also within the scope of Biological Genetics, particularly when new laboratory techniques or computational approaches are fully described and thoroughly compared with the existing benchmark methods.
Biochemical Genetics welcomes articles on the following topics: Genomics; Proteomics; Population genetics; Phylogenetics; Metagenomics; Microbial genetics; Genetics and evolution of wild and cultivated plants; Animal genetics and evolution; Human genetics and evolution; Genetic disorders; Genetic markers of diseases; Gene technology and therapy; Experimental and analytical methods; Statistical and computational methods.
