A novel function of HRP‐3 in regulating cell cycle progression via the HDAC–E2F1–Cyclin E pathway in lung cancer

To improve the poor survival rate of lung cancer patients, we investigated the role of HDGF-related protein 3 (HRP-3) as a potential biomarker for lung cancer. The expression of endogenous HRP-3 in human lung cancer tissues and xenograft tumor models is indicative of its clinical relevance in lung cancer. Additionally, we demonstrated that HRP-3 directly binds to the E2F1 promoter on chromatin. Interestingly, HRP-3 depletion in A549 cells...
