Real-time PCR analysis of stemness-related markers revealed that mRNA levels of ABCG2, C-MYC, CD133, NANOG, and KLF4 were significantly upregulated in GOLPH3-overexpressing cells, while the levels were downregulated in GOLPH3-silenced NSCLC cells. Here, KLF4 is linked to non-small cell lung carcinoma.
