摘要
Dear Editor,Lung cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer death in the world,but its therapeutic targets are still being explored.Genome instability as a key hallmark of cancer not only contributes to cancer initiation and progression,1 but also creates vulnerabilities that are relatively specific to cancer cells,which may be potential therapeutic targets for cancer patients.During DNA Double-Strand Breaks(DSBs)repair,BTR(BLM-Topo IIIα-RMI1/RMI2)complex promotes the dissolution of double Holliday junctions to form non-crossover products and is often considered as a tumor suppressor.2 However,the function of each individual component of this BTR complex in cancer remains largely unknown.
