The present invention discloses the application of CIR1 as a
molecular marker in the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis evaluation of
lung cancer bone metastasis, and belongs to the field of medical tumor diagnosis and treatment. The present invention found that CIR1 is highly expressed in tissues and cells of
lung cancer bone metastasis, and is accompanied by a
poor prognosis.
In vivo and
in vitro experiments confirmed that CIR1 downregulation can significantly inhibit the proliferation and migration ability of
lung cancer cells, thereby inhibiting
bone metastasis; at the same time, CIR1 downregulation can significantly inhibit the differentiation and maturation of
lung cancer cells on osteoclasts, greatly reducing the occurrence of osteolytic destruction. Therefore, the present invention proposes to use a
reagent for detecting the expression level of CIR1 in the preparation of a kit for detecting whether
lung cancer has bone
metastasis and / or a prognostic kit for predicting the tendency of
lung cancer bone
metastasis; and to use a CIR1 inhibitor in the preparation of a
drug for preventing, alleviating and / or treating lung cancer bone
metastasis, providing a new idea for the diagnosis, prognosis and
treatment of lung cancer bone metastasis.
