In line with these studies, we also confirmed that CPEB2, PHF21A, BAMBI, ATM, SYNGAP1, CLU, NEDD4L and miR-423-5p were downregulated, whereas TMED10, PSME3, NIP7, miR-15b-5p and miR-23a-3p were upregulated in CNT-exposed lung cells and lung cancer samples. The gene discussed is CLU; the disease is lung carcinoma.
