Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) ranks the most lethal malignancies around the world, nearly 85 % of lung cancers are NSCLC. Its high prevalence and morbidity pose a considerable burden to human health, identifying promising therapeutic targets for NSCLC is urgently needed. The essential function of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in multiple cellular progressions and pathophysiological processes are widely understood, thus we investigated the role of lncRNA T-cell leukemia/lymphoma 6 (TCL6) in NSCLC progression. LncRNA TCL6 level is increased in NSCLC samples and downregulation of lncRNA TCL6 inhibited NSCLC tumorigenesis. Moreover, Scratch Family Transcriptional Repressor 1 (SCRT1) can modulate lncRNA TCL6 expression in NSCLC cells, with lncRNA TCL6 promoting NSCLC development through Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Kinase 1 (PDK1)/AKT signaling by interacting with PDK1, thereby providing a novel framework for NSCLC research.
