Although some studies explored the role of PYCR1 in the proliferation of human lung squamous cell carcinoma H1703 cells and human lung adenocarcinoma SPC-A1 cells (Cai et al., 2018), the correlation of PYCR1 gene with cell migration, invasion, and cisplatin sensitivity in lung adenocarcinoma was not examined. The gene discussed is PYCR1; the disease is squamous cell lung carcinoma.
