    Abstract:
    TRIM32 is a member of the tripartite motif (TRIM) family, which has been associated with tumorigenesis. However, its expression and potential functional role(s) in lung cancer progression have not been fully understood. To evaluate the relationship between the expression of TRIM32 and the prognosis of patients with lung cancer, an independent data set (The Human Protein Atlas website) was introduced. The expression and function analysis of TRIM32 in lung cancer cell lines were also performed by using cell counting kit-8, flow cytometry, transwell, real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analysis. Our data showed that TRIM32 was overexpressed in lung cancer tissues and cell lines and was associated with a poor prognosis. TRIM32 silencing inhibited cell proliferation, migration, invasion, adhesion, and the activation of janus kinase 2 (JAK2)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling. The results showed knockdown of TRIM32 in NCI-H446 cells also inhibited cell growth in nude mice in the xenograft model. Additionally, TRIM32 overexpression promoted lung cancer cell proliferation and motility and mediated the expression of Bax, Bcl-2, cleaved caspase-3, matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9 were inhibited by JAK2/STAT3 signaling inhibitor (AG490). Taken together, our findings suggest that TRIM32 may regulate lung cancer cell proliferation, apoptosis, and motility through activating the JAK2/STAT3-signaling pathway and may be a novel and promising target for lung cancer.
