Deciphering the transcriptional regulatory network driving lung adenocarcinoma progression. (PubMed, Med Oncol)
Consequently, the regulatory mechanism of TFs on target genes in lung adenocarcinoma was speculated. Furthermore, the transcriptional regulatory network reveals that TFs modulate signaling pathways, cellular metabolism, and biological processes during the transformation process. In addition, leveraging six transcription factors (REBF2, CEBPB, TFCP2, IRF6, ETV4, and BHLHE40) that exhibit progressively increasing activity during the progression of lung adenocarcinoma, we developed a pivotal progression model score, termed the "Lung Adenocarcinoma Transformation TFs Upregulation" (LUAD-TTFs-UP) score, to predict both the progression and prognosis of this disease.
