DDX47 promotes cell proliferation and migration in lung adenocarcinoma

This study aimed to investigate the role of DEAD-box helicase 47 (DDX47) in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Our results demonstrated that DDX47 was highly expressed in LUAD tissues, and its high expression predicted a poor prognosis. Bioinformatics analysis indicated that DDX47 involved RNA processing and cell division. Furthermore, knockdown of DDX47 reduced cell proliferation and migration in vitro. In sum, our data confirmed the cancer-promoting effect of DDX47.
