we revealed that CPA4 downregulation may induce apoptosis and G1-S arrest by suppressing the protein kinase B/c-MYC pathway. These results suggest that CPA4 has an oncogenic effect on lung cancer growth. Taken together, we identified a novel gene in lung cancer that might provide a basis for new therapeutic targets. | Downregulation of CPA4 inhibits non small-cell lung cancer growth by suppressing the AKT/c-MYC pathway.
