Novel function of PERP-428 variants impacts lung cancer risk through the differential regulation of PTEN/MDM2/p53-mediated antioxidant activity

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Identifying genetic risk factors and understanding their mechanisms will help reduce lung cancer incidence.

Description
Summary:Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Identifying genetic risk factors and understanding their mechanisms will help reduce lung cancer incidence. The p53 apoptosis effect is related to PMP-22 (PERP), a tetraspan membrane protein, and an apoptotic effector protein downstream of p53. Although historically considered a tumor suppressor, PERP is highly expressed in lung cancers. Stable knockdown of PERP expression induces CL1-5 and A549 lung cancer cell death, but transient knockdown has no effect. Interestingly, relative to the PERP-428GG genotype, PERP-428CC was associated with the highest lung cancer risk (OR = 5.38; 95% CI = 2.12–13.65, p
