Using two different cell lines for lung cancer, it was shown that NFIX regulates interleukin-6 receptor subunit β (IL6ST), metalloproteinase inhibitor 1 (TIMP1), and integrin β-1 (ITGB1) genes, all of which are involved in cell proliferation, migration, and invasion [80] (Table 1). Here, TIMP1 is linked to lung cancer.
