Inhibin βA is an independent prognostic factor that promotes invasion via Hippo signaling in non‑small cell lung cancer.

ABSTRACT: Inhibin βA (INHBA) serves a prognostic and tumor‑promoting role in numerous types of cancer. The present study aimed to determine the clinical significance of INHBA in non‑small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and the mechanisms underlying its potential tumor‑promoting effect. INHBA expression was detected in clinical NSCLC samples using immunohistochemistry. In vivo loss‑ and gain‑of‑function studies were performed to determine the effects of INHBA on NSCLC invasion. In addition, protein and mRNA expression levels of INHBA, yes‑associated protein (YAP), large tumor suppressor 1/2 kinase (LATS1/2), connective tissue growth factor, cysteine rich angiogenic inducer 61 and Merlin were assessed using western blotting and reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR, respectively, to investigate the mechani
