Comprehensive Analysis of the Expression, Prognosis and Function of TRAF Family Proteins 
in NSCLC by Yixuan WANG, Qiang CHEN, Yaguang FAN, Shuqi TU, Yang ZHANG, Xiuwen ZHANG, Hongli PAN, Xuexia ZHOU, Xuebing LI

“…Most TRAF proteins exhibit upregulation at both mRNA and protein levels in NSCLC, whereas, only upregulated expressions of TRAF2, TRAF4 and TRAF7 predict worse prognosis. The TRAF family members regulate processes such as inflammation, immunity, adhesion and splicing, and influence the tumor immune microenvironment.…”
