Loss of thymidine kinase 1 inhibits lung cancer growth and metastatic attributes by reducing GDF15 expression
7 Oct 2019
Abstract excerpt
Metabolic alterations that are critical for cancer cell growth and metastasis are one of the key hallmarks of cancer. Here, we show that thymidine kinase 1 (TK1) is significantly overexpressed in tumor samples from lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients relative to normal controls, and this TK1 overexpression is associated with significantly reduced overall survival and cancer recurrence. Genetic knockdown of TK1...
