In addition, we showed that the effects of HOXA10 on the promotion of cell viability and tumorigenesis and cell apoptosis repression were all weakened when JAK1 or STAT3 was downregulated.
In conclusion, the overexpression of HOXA10 may play a pivotal role in the tumorigenesis of NSCLC, and this effect is observed more obviously in LUSC than in LUAD.
Homeobox A10 (HOXA10) has been implicated critical for the promotion of carcinogenesis, but the underlying mechanism between HOXA10 and malignant gastric cancer (GC) phenotype remains elusive.
The results of the current study confirm the overexpression of HOXA10 in OSCCs, and further demonstrate that its expression is functionally associated with several important biological processes related to oral tumorigenesis, such as proliferation, migration and invasion.
These findings suggest that ubiquitous loss of miR-135a expression is a critical mechanism for the overexpression of HOXA10 in EOC cells, which is implicated in epithelial ovarian carcinogenesis.
In contrast, expression of the short HOXA10 transcript, HOXA10b, was almost exclusively found in the TCRbeta-HOXA rearranged cases, suggesting a specific role for the HOXA10b short transcript in TCRbeta-HOXA-mediated oncogenesis.
