Investigating the mechanism by which SMAD3 induces PAX6 transcription to promote the development of non-small cell lung cancer

Abstract Background This study investigated the function of SMAD3 (SMAD family member 3) in regulating PAX6 (paired box 6) in non-small cell lung cancer. Methods First, qRT-PCR was employed to detect SMAD3 expression in cancer tissues along with normal tissues and four cell lines, including BEAS-2B,...
