Functional characterisation of the ATOH1 molecular subtype indicates a pro-metastatic role in small cell lung cancer

Catozzi et al. describe the ATOH1 SCLC molecular subtype contributing to SCLC heterogeneity. Like ASCL1 and NEUROD1, ATOH1 regulates neurogenesis. ATOH1 is associated with chemoresistance and is essential for tumor cell survival. ATOH1 supports aggressive tumor growth, including liver metastasis.
