SPOP regulates the DNA damage response and lung adenocarcinoma cell response to radiation.

Speckle-type POZ protein (SPOP) plays an important role in maintaining genome stability. Disability or mutation of the SPOP gene has been reported to contribute to prostate cancer incidence and prognosis. However, the functions of SPOP in lung cancer remain poorly understood, especially in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Here, we found that SPOP affects the LUAD cell response to radiation by regulating the DNA damage response (DDR) pathway. SPOP is...
