PROM1 and lung cancer: Stemness genes, octamer biding transcription factor 3/4 (OCT4) and/or SRY-box containing gene 2 (SOX2), have been found to bind to the P1 promoter region of CD133 gene loci and ectopic OCT4 or SOX2 expression triggers the CD133P1 activity in the lung cancer cell lines N417, H358, and A549 [44].
