LINE1 insertion into the NACC2 locus disrupts the HDM2 axis and activates lung oncogenic signaling by Pasano Bojang, Yingshan Wang, Kenneth S. Ramos

“…In this study, human bronchial epithelial cells were exposed chronically to 25 µM NiCl₂ to induce malignant transformation and compared to PBS-treated control cells or lung cancer cell lines. A 4 kb intronic LINE-1 insertion into the NACC2 (nucleus accumbens-associated protein 2) locus in nickel-transformed cells was associated with significant reductions in NACC2 mRNA and protein, along with constitutive increases in HDM2 and TP53α mRNAs, and aberrant expression of TP53β and TP53γ mRNAs. …”
