DDX49 is a novel biomarker and therapeutic target for lung cancer metastases.

ABSTRACT: The identification of lymph node metastases is important for the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of patients with lung cancer. We found DDX49 was associated with the lymph node metastases in lung cancer by the Akt/β-catenin pathway. Transcriptome sequencing, bioinformatics analysis, quantitative RT-PCR, cell transfection and the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data set were used to identify DDX49 responsible for lymph node metastases. A Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis was used to explore the possible molecular mechanism in experimental cell. The DDX49 gene was correlated significantly with lymph node metastases of lung cancer. The knockdown of DDX49 inhibited the cell proliferation and migration in PC-9 and H460 cells. The mechanism research found d
