BIRC5 and lung cancer: In studies exploring the effect of AETC on the growth of A549 lung cancer xenografts in nude mice and its mechanisms, oral administration of AETC for seven weeks, compared to the control group, showed significantly reduced levels of EGFR and Survivin mRNA in the xenograft tissues, indicating a potential mechanism by which AETC inhibits tumor growth by affecting these molecular targets [73].
