Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in the world, including in Taiwan. Here, we wanted to investigate whether ZAK plays a potential role in lung cancer development. First, Western blot analysis results demonstrated that four cell lines expressed high levels of ZAK from among a panel of 10 lung cancer cell lines, and two of three normal lung cells expressed ZAK. ZAK gene expressions were down-regulated in lung cancers by real-time PCR analysis. Overexpression of ZAK suppressed cell proliferation in parallel with increased phosphorylated levels of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK).
