ABSTRACT
Approximately 51 non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) risk loci have been identified by genome-wide association studies (GWASs). We conducted a high throughput RNA-interference (RNAi) screening to identify the candidate causal genes in NSCLC risk loci. KIAA0391 at 14q13.1 had the highest score and could promote proliferation and metastasis of NSCLC in vitro and in vivo. We next prioritized rs3783313 as a causal variant at 14q13.1, by integrating a large-scale population study consisting of 27,120 lung cancer cases and 27,355 controls, functional annotation, and expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) analysis. Then we found that rs3783313 could facilitate a promoter-enhancer interaction to upregulate KIAA0391 expression by affecting the affinity of transcription factor NFYA. Mechanistically, KIAA0391 knockdown dramatically influenced pyroptosis-related pathways and increased the expression of CASP1. And KIAA0391 transcriptionally repressed CASP1 by binding to SMAD2 and induced an anti-pyroptosis phenotype, promoting tumorigenesis of NSCLC, which provides new insights and potential target for NSCLC.
