Multi-comparative Bioinformatic Detection of MEOX2 De Novo Motif Sites And Distal Intergenic Sequences By ChIP-Seq, Reveals MEOX2-Dependent Modulation of EGFR-Gene Sequences In A Lung Cancer Preclinical Model

The study used a large-scale epigenome occupancy strategy to identify novel MEOX2-related cellular pathways. It was also discovered that MEOX2 has a significant occupation on distal intergenic sequences, De Novo Moitf Sites as well as on EGFR-genetic sequences, and positively regulates EGFR-gene expression in human lung cancer cells and preclinical tumor growth.The study concluded that overexpressed MEOX2 is negatively clinically correlated with poorer progression-free survival in lung cancer patients with early clinical stages, with or without EGFR-TKIs based therapy.
