ZNF280A promotes lung adenocarcinoma development by regulating the expression of EIF3C.

ABSTRACT: Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most common histological subtype in non-small cell lung cancer, which is the malignant tumor with the highest mortality and morbidity in the world. Herein, ZNF280A, a member of the zinc finger protein family carrying two consecutive Cys2His2 zinc finger domains, was shown by us to act as a tumor driver in LUAD. The immunohistochemical analysis of ZNF280A in LUAD indicated its positive correlation with tumor grade, pathological stage and lymphatic metastasis, and negative relationship with patients' survival. A loss-of-function study revealed the inhibition of LUAD development by ZNF280A in vitro and in vivo, whereas ZNF280A overexpression induced opposite effects. Statistical analysis of gene expression profiling in LUAD cells with or without ZNF280A knock
