Sec61γ is a vital protein in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane promoting tumor metastasis and invasion in lung adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide. Finding effective prognostic markers and therapeutic targets is of great significance for controlling metastasis and invasion clinically.

Methods

The open copy-number aberrations and gene expression datasets were analysed, and the data of 102 LUAD patients was used for further validation. The cell proliferation, colony formation, migration, invasion assays and mice tumor models were used to detect the function of SEC61G. The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) pathway was also detected to find the mechanism of Sec61γ.

Results

Based on the open datasets, we found that the high level of SEC61G mRNA may drive LUAD metastasis. Furthermore, the overexpression of Sec61γ protein w
