Abstract
Zinc finger, myeloproliferative, and mental retardation-type containing 3 (ZMYM3) is a highly conserved protein among vertebrates. Although it promotes DNA repair and moderate histone acetylation, the other functions of ZMYM3 remain unclear. We herein examined the physiological functions of ZMYM3 in human lung cancer using a ZMYM3-knockdown small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cell line. ZMYM3-knockdown SCLC cells grew slowly and the Ki-67 labeling index was lower in ZMYM3-knockdown cells than in mock cells. The subcutaneous tumors that formed after xenotransplantation into immunodeficient mice were slightly smaller in the ZMYM3-knockdown group than in the mock group. Furthermore, public RNA-sequencing data analyses showed similar RNA profiles between ZMYM3 and some cell proliferation markers. These results indicate that ZMYM3 promotes cell proliferation in human lung carcinomas, particularly SCLC.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
