Cell cycle-related and expression-elevated protein in tumor overexpression is associated with proliferation behaviors and poor prognosis in non-small-cell lung cancer.

ABSTRACT: The cell cycle-related and expression-elevated protein in tumor (CREPT) is overexpressed in several human malignancies. However, the clinical relevance of CREPT expression and its biological role in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains unclear. In this study, we detected the expression of CREPT in both NSCLC tissues and cell lines by immunohistochemistry, Western blot analysis, and RT-PCR. The correlation between CREPT expression and clinicopathologic features was analyzed in 271 NSCLC patients. The prognostic value of CREPT expression was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression analysis. CREPT was overexpressed in Calu-1 cell lines by using plasmid vector and its biological function was explored both in vitro and in vivo. We found that CREPT was significantly overexpre
