ATF4 transcriptionally activates serine biosynthetic genes in response to serine starvation in non-small cell lung cancer, and additionally, it has been shown to play a crucial role in the regulation of PSAT1 after OSN (Oct4, Sox2, and Nanog) was expressed in mouse embryonic stem cells [43, 44]. This evidence concerns the gene SOX2 and non-small cell lung carcinoma.
