    Small cell lung cancer is the most malignant subtype of lung cancer and is prone to distant metastasis
    .


    The 5-year survival rate of patients with small cell lung cancer is about 7%, which is closely related to its high metastasis


    Mechanistic studies have found that with the malignant progression of small cell lung cancer, the core molecule TAZ of the Hippo signaling pathway is regulated by the chromatin remodeling complex SWI/SNF and down-regulated, triggering the transition from the NCAM lo CD44 hi subset to the NCAM hi CD44 lo/- subset.
    , and ultimately promote the metastasis of small cell lung cancer
    .


    TAZ activation can inversely promote the transition of the NCAM hi CD44 lo/- subset to the NCAM lo CD44 hi subset, thereby inhibiting the metastasis of small cell lung cancer


    Findings in these animal models are further supported by clinical data
    .


    Analysis of public single-cell sequencing data showed that the majority of tumor cells in small cell lung cancer metastases exhibited NCAM hi CD44 lo/- signatures


    In conclusion, this study found that the NCAM hi CD44 lo/- subset is responsible for the metastasis of small cell lung cancer, which is derived from the transformation of cell subsets caused by the down-regulation of TAZ, and TAZ plays an important role in the transformation of cell subsets and the metastasis of small cell lung cancer.
    Molecular switch action
    .


    This study lays a solid theoretical foundation for an in-depth understanding of the metastasis mechanism of small cell lung cancer
