Abstract

One of the main causes of cancer incidence and mortality worldwide is lung cancer. This study focused on the function of basic leucine zipper ATF‑like transcription factor (BATF) in non‑small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Using NSCLC patient data from The Cancer Genome Atlas, the present study demonstrated that BATF expression in NSCLC tissues was significantly higher compared with that in adjacent non‑tumor tissues (P=6.56x10‑6). Lentivirus‑mediated short hairpin RNA (shRNA) was used to knock down BATF expression in the human A549 NSCLC cell line and assessed by reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR and western blotting. Cell proliferation was evaluated by MTT assay and Celigo imaging cytometry. Apoptosis was detected by fluorescence‑activated cell sorting and caspase 3/7 activity analysis. The results revealed that knockdown of BATF inhibited the proliferation of A549 cells. Compared with that of the control group, the apoptosis rate of the BATF‑shRNA group was significantly higher. In summary, knockdown of BATF inhibited the proliferation of A549 cells and promoted apoptosis. These results provide important information about the underlying mechanism of the pathogenesis of NSCLC.
