OTP and small cell lung carcinoma: One of these intermediate factors might be the downstream target of OTP, POU Class 3 Homeobox 2 (POU3F2), since a recent study proposed a crucial role for POU3F2 in the expression of lineage-specific transcription factors such as achaete-scute homolog-like 1 (ASCL1) and NeuroD1 (ND1) and NE marker molecules like neural cell adhesion molecule 1 (NCAM1), synaptophysin (SYP), and chromogranin A (CHGA) in SCLC (Figure 3) [37].
