FOXD3 is a novel tumor suppressor in lung cancer

ABSTRACT: The transcription factor forkhead box D3 (FoxD3) is a transcriptional factor which belongs to forkhead box (Fox) transcription factor family. The functions of FOXD3 in embryogenesis and in the development of neural crest cells have been clearly defined. Its tumor suppressor function hasbeen found in many types of cancer in recent years. However, the study about its roles in lung cancerdevelopment is still lacking. Our study found that deficiency of FoxD3 in lung cancer enhanced cell growth and cell invasion. RNA-sequence analysis demonstrated that loss of FoxD3 mainly affected cell cycle progression related gene expression. Knockdown of FoxD3 led to G2-M cell accumulation with up-regulation of DNA replication licensing factor MCM5 and MCM4 as well as cell cycle regulator polo-like kinase-1
