Abstract
Lung cancer is one of the most prevalent malignancies and a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. E3 ubiquitin ligase activity is a common feature of most TRIM proteins, highlighting the family's critical role in regulating the biological behaviors of tumor cells and influencing various cellular physiological activities, including apoptosis, innate immunity, development, and intracellular signaling. In lung cancer, certain TRIM proteins function either as oncoproteins or cancer suppressors. This review explores the unique function of TRIM in lung cancer development, focusing on the molecular processes of TRIM proteins. Finally, we provide an overview of recent advancements in the prognosis and therapeutic strategies for lung cancer involving TRIM proteins.
期刊介绍:
Current Molecular Medicine is an interdisciplinary journal focused on providing the readership with current and comprehensive reviews/ mini-reviews, original research articles, short communications/letters and drug clinical trial studies on fundamental molecular mechanisms of disease pathogenesis, the development of molecular-diagnosis and/or novel approaches to rational treatment. The reviews should be of significant interest to basic researchers and clinical investigators in molecular medicine. Periodically the journal invites guest editors to devote an issue on a basic research area that shows promise to advance our understanding of the molecular mechanism(s) of a disease or has potential for clinical applications.
