Figure Lengend Snippet: There was a correlation between KIFC3 and the prognosis of NSCLC patients. (a) High expression of KIF3 was observed in NSCLC tissues by RT‐PCR ( n = 45) and (b) western blot. (c) KIFC3 high expression was associated with short disease free survival and (d) overall survival of NSCLC patients. N = 3, *** p < 0.001.

Figure Lengend Snippet: KIFC3 knockdown repressed NSCLC cells proliferation and invasion as well as migration. (a) KIFC3 was prominently enhanced in NSCLC cells. (b) There was a sharp reduction in the expression of KIFC3 in NSCLC cells detected by RT‐PCR and (c) western blot assay. (d) MTT results revealed a decreased viability of NSCLC cells upon KIFC3 silencing. (e) Clone formation assay revealed a decreased proliferation rate of NSCLC cells upon KIFC3 silencing. (f) Transwell invasion assay illustrated that KIFC3 lack negatively modulated the invasive ability of NSCLC cells (scale bar = 50 μm). (g) The wound healing rate of NSCLC cells was remarkably decreased after KIFC3 absence (scale bar = 100 μm). N = 3, ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Lack of KIFC3 inhibited the PI3K/Akt pathway. (a) The related proteins of PI3K/Akt pathway were tested by western blot assay. (b) The p‐PI3K and p‐Akt levels were noteworthily down‐regulated in KIFC3 knockdown NCI‐H1299 and (c) NCI‐H460 cells. N = 3, ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001.

Figure Lengend Snippet: KIFC3 regulates the malignant behavior of lung cancer through PI3K/Akt pathway. (a) SC79 restored the decreased levels of p‐PI3K and p‐Akt induced by KIFC3 inhibition. (b) The decreased cell viability triggered by si‐KIFC3 were eliminated by SC79 in NSCLC cells. (c) Activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway effectively stimulated the proliferation rate reduced by si‐KIFC3#1. (d) The suppression function of KIFC3 silencing in cell invasion was also reversed by SC79 (scale bar = 50 μm). (e) Activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway reversed the functions of KIFC3 knockdown in cell migration (scale bar = 100 μm). N = 3, * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01.

Figure Lengend Snippet: a – d SA-β-gal staining ( a ), quantitation of SA-β-gal-positive cells ( n = 3 independent experiments, 6-8fields per experiment, 200 cells per field) ( b ) in control or siCENEXIN1 RCTE cells with or without IR exposure.

Scale bar, 100 μm. SA-β-gal staining ( g ), quantitation of SA-β-gal-positive cells ( n = 3 independent experiments, 3-4fields per experiment, 200–500 cells per field) ( h ), and relative mRNA level of SASP genes ( i ) in IL-1β-treated (3 ng/ml for 5 days) control or shCENEXIN1 RCTE cells. Scale bar, 50 μm. j Proposed working model: Exposure to irreparable stresses triggers the reorganization of microtubules (MTs), leading to the nucleation of sinc-MTs in the proximity of the nuclear envelop towards the ciliary base. Concurrently, the minus-end-directed kinesin KIFC3 is recruited to the ciliary base. It subsequently facilitates the transportation of the CENEXIN1-FBF1 cargo complex along the sinc-MTs, directing it towards the nucleus. This process initiates cellular senescence in stressed human cells. All results from n = 3 independent experiments. Data are the mean ± SEM. Statistical significance was determined using one-way ANOVA. Three experiments were repeated independently with similar results ( c ). Source data are provided as a file.
