ARNTL2 upregulation of ACOT7 promotes NSCLC cell proliferation through inhibition of apoptosis and ferroptosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Recent studies have reported that the circadian transcription factor aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator like 2 (ARNTL2) promotes the metastatic progression of lung adenocarcinoma. However, the molecular mechanisms of ARNTL2 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell growth and proliferation remain to be explored.

Methods

The expression of ARNTL2 and acyl-CoA thioesterase 7 (ACOT7) in lung cancer patients was analyzed based on TCGA database. Gain-of-function of ARNTL2 and ACOT7 was conducted by transfecting the cells with plasmids or lentivirus. Knockdown assay was carried out by siRNAs. Western blot and qRT-PCR were performed to check the protein and mRNA expression. Dual luciferase and ChIP-qPCR assay was applied to check the interaction of ARNTL2 on
