Moreover, QSOX2 silencing in NSCLC cell lines resulted in inhibition of cancer cell proliferation, induction of apoptosis, and decreased expression of cell division-related genes (CENPF and NUSAP1) and Wnt pathway activators (PRRX2 and Nuc-β-catenin). The gene discussed is NUCB1; the disease is non-small cell lung carcinoma.
